Densha Otoko ( 2channel real story ) (573)

1 Name: 返信 2005-05-28 01:27 ID:HoZnHXLW

The movie "Densha Otoko" (Train Man) is to be shown in several countries in East Asia, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, following sales efforts at the recent Cannes Film Festival. The movie is based on a supposedly true story that played out on the Channel 2 web site, Japan's most popular BBS. It tells of an "otaku" (nerd), played by Yamada Takayuki (21), who comes to the rescue of a woman (Nakatani Miki, 29) being groped on a train. Not knowing how to pursue his newly found love, he turns to the Web for help and advice. The love story was turned into a best-selling book and has the subject of a lot of publicity over the last year, and has publishers scouring the Web looking for the next big hit. The biggest question that remains is whether it's really a true story of innocent love triumphing or just a clever marketing ploy. The movie opens on June 4.

Getting to the next stage in life and love

Why has the Japanese birth rate fallen so low that pandas are starting to look fecund by comparison? I had read the experts, naming everything from workaholism to scarce day-care as causes, but my light-bulb moment came during a press screening of "Densha Otoko (Train Man)," TV hitmaker Shosuke Murakami's debut feature about an otaku who meets a woman on a commuter train and woos her with the help of his Internet friends.

I loved it!, 4 July 2005
9/10
Author: Sinner from Tokyo, Japan

If you've spent much time chatting on the Internet, you've probably had a conversation along these lines at some point: "They should make a movie like this!" "Naah... who wants to see a movie about a bunch of people sitting at computers typing?" Densha Otoko finally answers that question, and does it in superb style. By use of split-screen, and computer text overlaid on real environments, it makes the online chats visually interesting and fast-paced.

But this isn't just some technical storytelling exercise. At its heart, it's a funny and charming romance. Unlike just about every other "naive protagonist gets dating advice" movie, this one is astonishingly pure-hearted.

On consideration, I dropped it a point because I felt the character of the love-interest was under-developed. Her role in the romance never quite got fully believable. As even the minor characters are properly developed, perhaps she was intentionally left as a mysterious figure.

I really hope this gets a wider audience outside Japan. This is a wonderful, wonderful film, but the central role played by typed Japanese text is going to be a barrier to international audiences. Perhaps the best we can hope for is a competent Hollywood remake. Please, no Jennifer Lopez.

a truly heartwarming story of otaku romance, 19 June 2005
10/10
Author: alibash from tokyo, japan

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is by far the best romantic comedy that I've seen in a long time! It's actually a true love story based on a widely read thread on 2ch (a lot like the origin of "My Sassy Girl"), where the main character "blogged" (for lack of a better word) his encounter with the girl of his dreams by randomly standing up for her in a train. You basically fall in love with all of the characters of the story, from the leads to the supporting cast. Maybe even more the supporting cast than the leads. The readers in 2ch are struck by the sweet though pitiable introduction to his story, and help him with emotional support and advice throughout his ordeal. The readers aren't perfect either, and are what ultimately makes the story hit home. My personal favorite are the 3 guys "living" in the manga/internet-cafe.

Comically, the movie is brilliant, and Koushi Yamada does an excellent job of channeling the spirit of socially awkward otaku's everywhere. There's a reoccurring theme of friendly total strangers making life worth living, which, sappy as it sounds, really leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling at the end.

Definitely see this movie if you get the chance!

I saw the television show yesterday (downloaded all the episodes) and I cried not only tears of joy, but tears of sadness whenever Densha was let down. We are so similar that it seems like it's the story of my future. Regardless, great drama.

Well, first of all i just want to point out that 69 out of 100 otakus came to the rescue!! (sasuga otaku!)

Bump.

I come bearing somewhat bad news. Greyhorse, who was subbing Densha up to now, is stopping to sub this series due to problems he's been having recently.

However, three new subtitlers will be subbing the last three episodes of Densha. :)

Also, no new raw so far. (This is as of 8:21 PM ET)

Well, I finally catched up and I have to say...

Episode 8 was sooo over the top... I found it to be too exaggerated it a lot of times. More than usual, I mean.

I have a question, though. The AA master/programmer is supposed to be the admin of "A-channel"? So he was Hiroyuki on 2ch?

what

Also, damn them for playing that freaking O-ZONE in the short restaurant scene.

"The Japanese title (houdai) of American film Napoleon Dynamite will be Bus Otoko (Bus Man.) As Yuki points out, this new title has almost nothing to do with the film itself and 100% to do with the fact that there is a popular Japanese film/television show/internet hoax called Densha Otoko. (Even the tagline is based on 2-ch typography!) In last month's Cyzo, an article about the current "Virgin Boom" referenced ND as being "Bus Man" in Japan, but I was convinced at the time that the writer was making a bad joke."

>>59 is right. If you watch closely, it's a very apparent fake 2ch. The front page's pot was replaced with a genie's bottle (reference to Aladdin). The text which is written vertically (2ちゃんえる) was replaced with Aちゃんえる.

However, if I remember correctly, when Jinkhama-san first goes on a-ch, it seems she typed 2ch. I watched it two times, and I'm pretty sure that the URL she types is 2ch.net/(random string here)

I'll take pictures if I can later on.

2 Channel, or simply "2ch," is designed and operated by 26-year-old Tokyo native Hiroyuki Nishimura, who describes himself as "forever 19, a lover of sweets, and a 'hikikomori' (someone who has withdrawn from society)." He started it in May 1999, he said, because "it seemed like fun.

no.

"In keeping with his detachment, Mr. Nishimura said he was bored with his Web site and did not believe it was worth enough to attract buyers. Asked about Channel 2's role in Japanese society, he said people used it simply to "kill time."

"Many people who write on Channel 2 are stupid," Mr. Nishimura said, making a statement that many Channel 2 regulars would agree with but one that will surely draw a flurry of attacks. "They cannot change the world by writing about it. If they really want to have an impact, there are other things they could be doing.""

> 最終章!奇跡の大逆転

So it says it's an hour long, as usually but the episode's title is "The Final Chapter!"

But I doubt that, since http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/denshaotoko/story/index.html seems to hint at 11 episodes (the last one probably being the "double-episode" that's been rumored, so 10+11).

>>118 That's not her brother. That's a friend of hers, a friend who always saw her as a little sister. That is, until he saw her through yamada's eyes and realized how very attractive she actually was.

>>125 why do he say "mother" to her mother , is it some formal japanese thing.

128 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-18 18:12 ID:SqY7Uh9X

>>127 He says that as a friendlier version of "old lady".

Saying "old hag" or "old lady" is sorta insultive, while as "mother" also points out that he thinks she's too old for him, while as it's not insultive.

I think it's funny how they introduced new characters in the a-ch crowd now: The other military type, the other otaku Densha met at the river earlier and the NGE freak.

131 Name: from Hong Kong 2005-09-19 05:23 ID:CCyuqIGe

Does anyone here know that whether the train man gets married with Hermes in reality? And how are they now?

p.s. I also like the TV programme very much.

132 Name: Piyo 2005-09-19 06:10 ID:niDOm3vF

maybe so... But nobody knows their current situation due to their own privacy.
And stiill some people doubt this story was fiction by someone on 2ch.

133 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-19 07:08 ID:Heaven

A question that's been haunting me for some time:

What kind of mouse is Densha using?

134 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-19 08:48 ID:SqY7Uh9X

>>130 It is to show that the BBS got more visitors following what Densha does, as the place got a bigger reputation and thus more people reading the board.

>>133 ...I've never actually paid any attention.. I'll have to do so when i watch ep 10 over again.

I figured as much, but it's still funny, esp. who they chose for that.

Densha Otoko NG special

Featuring:
Actor/Actress Interviews
Behind the scenes making of Densha Otoko the Jdrama.
NG scenes(Blooper scenes)

Since I don't know Japanese, this is what it appears to be in the special, but it I'm off, let me know. Please help seed this, as I'll be out after I finish seeding.

BTW, the runtime is only 8 min and I've attached the timed subs(korean), so anyone could translate, that'll be great, its attached.

PS.
Updated: I posted Densha Movie torrents here: snarf-it.org and can someone confirm to see if it was uploaded correctly and is functioning? Since earlier I heard there's no more registrations to FSC.
We still don't have a subber for the movie yet, so post if you want to sub either the NG or the Movie.
**Update:

Aviness and OTL has decided to sub this NG Special. Arigato to these two again.

Also Xie Xie to n3k0m1k1: who will doing the Densha Otoko Movie. He is translating from Chinese to English, so we might need some Japanese editors/QC or some help(he's new to subbing). Please pm n3k0m1k1.

I removed the chinese/korean subs since I will be putting the English subs after its done.

141 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-23 17:24 ID:Heaven

w00t, latest DO is out and so are the first set of subs o.o

Sad.. At least there's the sidestory episode coming later on.

Nice!

I wonder if the anime from densha otoko would ever be made in to a real show. I could definately see it happening... then there could be real 'mina' otakus... how bizarre would that be!

144 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-23 23:08 ID:Heaven

145 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-23 23:13 ID:ZBgd6IMx

Haha... reality inspired by fiction, which was itself inspired by reality. Weird!

146 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-23 23:29 ID:OC7g1+T5

This is one of the most beauitful and inspiring series I have ever seen ...

I cried and sweated so much while watching this. I stayed up all night to finish it. I had to see Hermes and Densha together again, because in a way, I went through this, too ...

I gave up anime and games, and changed my life entirely for a girl. A loser like me who was told "I love you" by a girl like her. I can't help but be reminded of myself when I see this series

This is embarrassing to admit, but this show really touched me like nothing else has before ... I'm glad I found this board and this thread

Yeah, it's kinda weird what males will do for females.
On the other hand, men probably wouldn't do jack shit if it wasn't for women.

152 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 05:43 ID:ZBgd6IMx

Funny stuff... especially with all the forum members going insane, convulsing, etc...haha. Overall it's been a great series, despite the fact that I find densha himself rather annoying, and hermes extremely uninteresting. Something has kept me watching though, probably the side characters (densha's friends, the forum members) and such, and just the whole concept is definately something unique. Sad to see it end (;´д⊂)...

153 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 07:43 ID:AKLlzTkG

Kyaaaaaaaaaa.. i like the kissing scene.. it's ssssssssoooooooooo romanticcc

I have still not yet seen the final episode >.<
But really don't know why, i don't want to see it. I am desperate because it really come to the end.

155 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 19:20 ID:cNvN96cv

Watching episode 9 of Densha now...does anybody esle feel the need to loudly emote while watching?

156 Name: peppermint 2005-09-24 21:35 ID:iyTXKVB7

My english it's very bad, but i try to explain to everybody how i feel when i watch Densha Otoko TV Drama... I cry, every moment, every minute, and fell so happy and so sad for Densha and Hermes, for me, this history was the Best jdrama in my life and enjoy with them.

157 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 21:36 ID:Heaven

Episode 10 was so ero ero YO at times! I lolled at the pixelated censoring of "adult kiss".

Also, WTF was up with them showing Densha's mysterious mom and the completely weird "Matilda announcement"? Seemed completely gimmick.

Still, a good episode. Wanted to punch Densha in the face a couple of times, though.

And what was that about "extended material" being aired on October 6th? Is that something new or the outtakes/NG special from
http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?info_hash=b9600589d782eb016d30af59d1da213912a702a7
?

158 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 21:52 ID:OC7g1+T5

Densha's mom is played by Matilda's seiyuu from the Gundam anime a long time ago

Not really a gimmick, but I think it fits in nicely since this show is about an otaku, after all

159 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 21:54 ID:OC7g1+T5

The Operation Odessa scene was probably a little weird to people not familiar with Gundam, too

160 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 22:12 ID:Heaven

>>159
Which one would that have been? REQUESTING DETAILS!

161 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 22:26 ID:OC7g1+T5

>>160

They said it in the scene where Densha was getting rid of all his toys

I can't remember which episode that was, sorry T_T

162 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 22:44 ID:Heaven

Oh, I remember.
And that scene was modeled after some famous anime episode?

I'm not otaku enough for some of this!

163 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-24 22:49 ID:OC7g1+T5

I'm not sure ._.

I just know that's from Gundam~

164 Name: KJI!XDpPLAUYlQ 2005-09-25 09:03 ID:Heaven

>>162

I'm pretty sure it was modeled after the epsiode where Matilda dies.

I can't really recall much of Gundam.

Which episode 11 subs are the best? I went with Densha Lovers for 8-10 and then I tried aviness for 11 but it just doesn't seem right. . .

this has become my favorite series.

I love you so much, Densha Otoko.

182 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-27 06:00 ID:tqqQghfm

I had something to nitpick about all three subbers when I tried them out for episode 9. So I couldn't really say, but at the end I just went with aviness.

183 Name: kinki 2005-09-27 11:14 ID:vvC8+mH9

i really loved this story. and the fact that its based on a true story what made me love it even more. Densha Otoko will remain in my heart for long.
