Densha Otoko ( 2channel real story ) (627)

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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⊂)...

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

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.

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.

Neither is "better". They work well within their respective media. Densha Otoko TV works REALLY well as a TV show. Densha Otoko the Movie works REALLY well as a movie.

Watch them both.

208 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-09 18:46 ID:OC7g1+T5

Please don't call me impatient or greedy for subs, but I am just confused

There is the NG Special which is very short (about 8 minutes)

and then there is an F2 Special, which is quite abit longer

I know the short NG Special has subs already, but what about the F2 one?

209 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-09 20:21 ID:FjSmVfye

>>208
The subs for the F2 special are here:
http://d-addicts.com/forum/download.php?id=5410

I liked that special episode very much.
Mostly for giving more clues about that dreaded coupled dating with Densha's otaku friends and how things played out from there.

210 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-09 21:07 ID:OC7g1+T5

Those aren't subs for the F2 special, that's for that episode about Yamada's friend that aired on Oct 6

I tried searching around D-addicts and I don't think the F2 one has any subs?

211 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-09 23:39 ID:FjSmVfye

Eh? Isn't F2 Special the episode about Yamada's friend that aired on Oct 6? What else are you talking about?

212 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-10 00:08 ID:OC7g1+T5

I don't know what it is because I haven't watched it yet, but it aired right before the 11th episode

search Densha Otoko F2 on d-addicts.com, there should be a thread about it

Stop reading this thread! Too many spoilers!

> I just noticed something. In the final scene at the bathhouse/resort thingy, the woman fixing Densha and Hermes' beds, isn't that Sachie Hara, Misaki Itou's co-star in You're Under Arrest Live Action? Yknow, she played Miyuki while Misaki played Natsumi.

Can anyone confirm this?

229 Name: internet otoko 2005-10-12 15:55 ID:m9Qgl/4k

wow this forum looked exactly like the one shown in densha otoko...lol...only this thread talks bout densha not the singles RANT CHANNEl...haha...i am a HUGE fan of denhsa otoko jdrama and ITOH MISAKI!!! cheers!

so hey. for someone who has seen the first 8 episodes but not the last three, which subs (aviness, densha-lover or masakun) are the best?

231 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-13 20:05 ID:Heaven

They all have their advantages and errors. For instance, I liked aviness the best as far as translation went, but some of the subs overlap sometimes, timing errors I guess.

232 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-14 03:01 ID:cNvN96cv

IIRC Masakun did the best job with the cultural references and translation overall, but aviness was better with the colloquialisms and speed. I think I have Masakun as the source for my DVDs (gotta love SRT -> DVD sub converters).

Episode 11
Well, that's that. T_T So great! I was emoting along with them in the narration after they meet, and in the graduation scene. When I realized that no, it wouldn't be right for him to stay, I was all (´・ω・`). And then 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。 yes! go and don't look back! The "adult's kiss" was hilarious. I thought the last AA post was a gong or plaque until I saw the real train. (^ω^;)

In the parts where they show all the forumers yelling together, pause and look for the girl who knows the a-channel admin. So cute!(*´Д`) haa haa

I have got to find people to show this series to.

...now how do I make sense of all these encore specials I've heard about?

I just finished watching Densha Otoko.. It was a great series!

Only complaint is that it was only 11 episodes _| ̄|○

I also wonder how closely it relates to the real story. Anybody have any ideas?

264 Name: Couch Potato 2005-11-03 02:09 ID:pXMHHGl9

You could read the translation of the original forum posts someone is doing. It's linked in one of the densha threads.

265 Name: Densha Fan 2005-11-03 06:00 ID:kxm3vLui

Ah, that's a good idea. I kinda forgot about that.

Hmmm.. too bad we can't find out what densha's doing now. Was his real identity ever disclosed?

Does anyone know where I can find that piano theme from Densha Otoko? It plays whenever there's a touching moment happening, for example, during the last episode when everyone is saying their final goodbyes

I love that music but I can't find it anywhere~

Okay, it's a guy and three girls, we saw that already

How did they meet? Why are there three of them? Are they sisters or something? Why do they like this guy, what did he do? What the fuck is this movie about?

So yeah, the trailer that we've already seen doesn't tell us much

279 Name: Couch Potato 2005-12-03 20:05 ID:pXMHHGl9

I finally saw the Densha second ending/epilogue special. It was a bit dissapointing to see it was mainly a clip show, but seeing what happened with the forum members while offscreen during the series made up for it. That last scene though, when Hermes invites Densha...

⊂⌒~⊃。Д。)⊃ WHOA!

280 Name: Couch Potato 2005-12-04 05:08 ID:Ns+RZq74

This is just an observation based on what little japanese I understand. From what I saw in that trailer, perhaps he meets these girls through a stereotypical mishap that made him look like a perv and then what zany antics follow and what romance might blossom. Or seomthing. Yea.

281 Name: Couch Potato 2005-12-05 16:36 ID:tTS7W4Z+

>>280
Bingo. From what I've heard/seen, this is based off a novel parodying(?) Densha.

It's about one of the people in the TV-series. A popculture reference you might have missed, unless you're very well-informed about such things.

btw does anyone know how this tripcode thing works?

318 Name: benson_2009 : 2006-03-13 09:47 ID:JrYkne5s

what tripcode??

319 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-03-13 14:30 ID:yvEMeS4x

trip code is the thing people put when writing parts of their name so that if you use a nickname other people can impersonate you

say the name is
benson_2009 you see the ID:JrYkne5s behind your name?
That is the tripcode even if another person uses the name
benson_2009 they can't match your tripcode

because you type in random name##stuff##secure

but since him and you aren't using it you just get random ID each time I think....

320 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-03-13 14:41 ID:yvEMeS4x

Correction it seems the random stuff actually appears as part of your name

Because I saw someone's nic as this

hmm I have to try that someday...

340 Name: RobertJaz : 2006-04-16 14:42 ID:g8V0ENu4

My girlfriend and I have been watching all of Densha Otoko TV series on dvd and it is fantastic!!

She also bought the movie version but I refuse to watch it as I don't think it will hold up now that I have seen this tv version.

It's like a drug, I cannot stop watching to find out what will happen next.

We are in the US and are seeing it subtitled in English, which has not been any problem. I know we have 11 episodes but I have heard there is a 12th??

I'm telling alot of my friends about this and I think it will be catching on around the world, just takes time.
I hope they never make a crappy American remake because it will suck as do most remakes of great films.

Be Cool!

341 Name: RobertJaz : 2006-04-16 14:45 ID:g8V0ENu4

360 Name: Mr. Spec Ops : 2006-05-27 06:38 ID:yvgUv+w3

Do you guys like the charater namely Hermes-san?

361 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-27 19:58 ID:thpf6lx5

It is Hermes-tan.

362 Name: Filipino-kun : 2006-05-29 06:46 ID:Pb6nlEdf

I loved it, very much. ^_^

Gambatte ne to all Denshas!

>>>(;^___^);<<<

363 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-29 17:59 ID:oJn2z6k0

Actually, -tan is just an honorific suffix, and can be swapped in and out with -san, or others, depending on the situation.

364 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-30 19:48 ID:ruZ+apAU

It's not a regular suffix, and not used in normal conversation except by children who can't pronounce -chan. Otherwise it's used as an overly cute affectation for the subject. I wish people wouldn't overuse it so much.

That said, I liked Hermes but I think I liked the wife of the crazy haired 2ch-er more.

365 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-30 20:21 ID:oJn2z6k0

I liked Hermes, the girlfriend of the dude with dreads, and towards the end, even liked Imperial March girl. Although I personally couldn't be bothered to watch an episode to find out her name again.

366 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-31 05:05 ID:oJn2z6k0

I actually became bothered enough to find out the actress' name: Shiraishi Miho - and in the show she's known as Jinkama.

367 Name: holdincourt : 2006-05-31 11:35 ID:H7kZ1nsC

I just finished the TV series and found it extremely touching...never had a TV series nearly have me in tears! I wanna watch it all again!

And props to Itou Masaki!

370 Name: holdincourt : 2006-05-31 16:00 ID:H7kZ1nsC

who was the actress who ended up being the girlfriend of the "Single Rant Thread" thread master? She was cute, too

371 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-31 18:18 ID:geMAnRu7

Personally, I liked the girl that was together with the crazy hair guy

372 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-05-31 18:29 ID:lLWJzVK/

As I'm unsure of who the thread master was, are you talking about Wendy, the girl who worked at the local restaurant and went to a different town? Or the friend of Saori who went out with Densha's friend, only to be dumped by him because he was afraid of being hurt?

373 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-06-01 01:14 ID:ruZ+apAU

So does anyone know which rooftop was used for the opening scene and other parts? I know some animes have had fan websites devoted to finding the real places that inspired the background art.

374 Name: holdincourt : 2006-06-01 03:19 ID:lSDdmIGL

It's the girl who kept beginning her post by saying "I'm just a girl..."

375 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-06-01 08:37 ID:CmEolE05

I love the confession part of Densha and Hermes at the top of the building.

376 Name: holdincourt : 2006-06-01 09:45 ID:lSDdmIGL

The part when they are sitting on the park bench is the BEST! Hermen-tan's voice was SOOOOO sexy...my God...faints

That's a kind of kaomoji(Emoticon), I guess.
You can see other variations at Wikipedia too.
They're awesome!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji

(cited from wikipedia)

Users from East Asia (particularly Japanese language speakers those who visit 2channel) popularized a style of emoticons known as verticons (顔文字, kaomoji?, literally "face characters"), which can be understood without turning one's head to the left. These styles of faces roughly resemble the style commonly found in Japanese anime and manga comic books.

The Japanese language is usually encoded using double-byte character codes. As a result there is a bigger variety of characters that can be used in emoticons, many of which cannot be reproduced in ASCII. Most kaomoji contain Cyrillic and other foreign letters to create even more complicated expressions analogous to ASCII art's level of complexity. To type such emoticons, the input editor that is used to type Japanese on a user's system is equipped with a dictionary of emoticons, after which the user simply types the Japanese word (or something close to it) that represents the desired emoticon to convert the input into such complicated emoticons. Such expressions are known as Shift JIS art.

It would be a shame if they opted for a vB/phpbb style forum when a 2ch style one, kareha or otherwise, would make such a perfect tie-in to the movie. However, it might be difficult fitting it into the site layout.

Aside from the unsourced "according to FujiTV they're still together" bit from wikipedia, I don't think anyone in the general public knows who he really is (if he's real at all). All the posts were collected by someone else, and it's public domain, so the companies took the story freely.

I'm not sure I'd want to know about the real guy. The story is most powerful as a modern day fable... at most, I'd like to know how he's going. shrug (Who knows, maybe we'll hear from him on the one year reunion special)

>>400

Funnily enough, the reason I found this place is because I was interested in an anonymous discussion board after watching this show. Regular forums are starting to annoy me, what with the names and personalities and such.

Hmm.. I think this Densha fits the role (just on appearance, I don't know how good an actor he is). But, I liked the Hermes from the TV show better than this actress. Just my humble oppinion.

427 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-07-29 14:13 ID:ruZ+apAU

I think the TV actor is more beleivable as a nerd in physical appearance. The movie one looks more well-groomed. I'm undecided on Hermes.

This was the last film I saw at Fantasia before having to head home, and it was kind of a good place to stop. After a steady diet of serial killers, zombies, vampires, and other monsters, a film like "Train Man" supplies a different, but just as vital, fantasy, with the "based on a true story" making the world seem a brighter place.

448 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-08-26 16:44 ID:3W20rPXn

It really is a shame what bad casting can do to a film. The guy who played densha was very unconvincing. Hell, the whole movie felt like that simpsons running joke about Ranier Wolfcastle playing a nerd (or a elementary school teacher)! It was just plain wrong.

Advice for those who only watched the TV series, don't bother watching the movie. I only wasted money hunting down and buying a copy. STICK WITH THE TV SERIES. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

449 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-08-26 18:44 ID:PmdaHT3Q

I just finished watching Densha Otoko, and by finished I don't mean I watched all the episodes, I mean I just couldn't keep watching. I read the original posts, and no matter wether it was a faker or perhaps even several, the movie and the tv-series completely massacered it.

In the original posts, both Densha and Hermes are cute, interesting, and what happens is very believable, but due to all the added crap nothing of that survives for the shows, IMO. The series made Densha into a fucking I don't know what and Hermes made completely boring. The original textual descriptions of her have more appeal than both the movie and the series interpretations.... Put together.

Bah, totally fucking dissapointed, but I still very much enjoyed reading the original posts. Indeed inspired, no matter if it was a superior hoax or a fairy tale come true.

Does anyone else feel the same way about the original posts vs. TV/movie adaptation?

Man, I've just finished reading the translation of the 2ch thread... What can I say?
Densha Otoko Movie -> Crap
Densha Otoko TV Series -> O_O OMG LoL \o/
Densha Otoko 2ch Thread -> Perfect.

The original thread sometimes is more interesting than the TV series 'cause of the "realism" that's passing by. It don't try to push a diferent idea, just tell what happened and how happened ^^ And that's good, 'cause there lots of people talking out there about Densha Otoko is fake and all... I'm just trying to convince myself that's the real love story of someone =) Does anyone knows if the real densha/hermes was ever contacted(I've known people that swore that the Akihabara incident actually occured like the TV Show O.o
Sorry for the big post o/

I don't like Hermes in the film. I don't think she is that pretty. But Hermes in the tv show (Itou Misaki!!!) is sooo cute

478 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-12-03 05:01 ID:mv4lJtYJ

The actress playing Hermes in the film is Nakatani Miki. Supposedly, she got the role just because the "real" Densha said that Hermes look a lot more like her. Now..., Nakatani Miki was 29 when she starred in the film. But when she was younger, her beauty, i dare say, was unparelled. And Misaki-san is going to be 30 next year. Not bad for an obaasan (well, almost an obaasan).

479 Name: Couch Potato : 2006-12-05 14:30 ID:jaT/cm9t

Does anyone think that the beautiful Ito Misaki looks awfully similar to Audrey Hepburn? Anyone? Or is it just me? Well maybe not the acting but the looks...

The whole story of "Densha Otoko" is simply inspirational. The entire series of BBS threads prove that there are good people on the Internet who want to help others.

I haven't read the entire thread, so I apologize ahead of time. But has there ever been any sort of update regarding how Densha and Hermes are doing today? With how well this romance has been built up, it would almost be heart breaking to hear if they weren't together anymore.

483 Name: Mr.Feather : 2006-12-23 04:21 ID:px8QC4yB

According to people who made the TV show/ Film (i forgot which) Hermes and Densha are still together to this day.

some news about densha
In the January 2007 issue of Wired there is an article "Love Train" about our favorite "true love story" 「電車男」(Densha Otoko). Writer Brian Ashcraft gets a special interview with the "man" behind the phenomenon. Not in person, of course. Observe:

Some say he's real, others insist he was cooked up by some clever 2Channel posters. The book's publisher, Shinchosha, agreed to set up an email interview with Train Man, but acted as an anonymizing go-between.
"I don't think I could've done it without 2Channel," writes Train Man, who says he's still dating the pretty girl. So far, his life hasn't changed much: He works at the same company, visits Akihabara, buys comics, and watches anime. And, of course, he still posts about stuff like videogames on 2Channel. Once an otaku, always an otaku.

I spent almost 24 hours watching this fine drama...2 times back-to-back.. cried when densha passes out in the rain (ep 7 perhaps). the scene when one of the channelers ( the bodybuilder i think) spraying his armpit is also hilarious!

if there's really a real densha otoko out there, i want to wish him best of luck and treasure his "hermes"...^^

and now i started to like j-dorama. lol

You fail at life. This is not an imageboard. Saging is a polite thing

http://4-ch.net/wiki/ Read the UsingSage one.
excerpt:
"Sage is not a insult.
Contrary to popular belief, sage should never be considered as a rude gesture or insult. In fact, someone writing insults or trolls to the thread and posting with sage are doing a good thing, since their useless post won't be brought to the attention of the rest of the board. The idea of sage being an insult came from imageboards, where filling up a thread with enough posts would get it removed. However, threads on channel4 take one thousand posts before they are closed, so the effect doesn't work here."

510 Name: snooka : 2007-05-02 09:38 ID:4Pi83D2P

This thread is pretty old. I forgot how I found it, but now it's bookmarked and bumped!

Densha Otoko is the third Jdorama I've watched. It's pure comedy! I know it's also a romance story but to me it's more funny than anything else. Yamada's two otaku friends, the evil version of Sakurai, and of course Aoyama Saori's good looks are memorable. Some of the skits were so funny my eyes teared and stomach cramped. I mean, c'mon, RC cars delivering diamond rings in an elaborate scheme to woo a woman's affection? Now THAT is funny. You could make a spoof jewelry store commercial out of it. The lighthouse skit was my favorite scene in the TV series.

511 Name: Danzbieri : 2007-05-04 01:22 ID:CE3bkPyN

Hi every one, maybe I´m not very involved with this, but is it real this story?, it´s like a fairy tale! I love it, i thought Romeo and Juliet where the best, but now I think different!

I'm still of the opinion that the original posts are a far better read/watch than any of the silly, dramaticized fairy-tale stories as seen in the manga/dorama/film. It's just cool seeing 2chers getting excited about stuff like this. I think there's a much better adaptation of 2ch life and its residents yet to be made from a story like this.

Anyway, you can find a translated & edited version of the original three-months-worth of posts here:

>>519

The crazy theories about the 2ch owners coming up with the story to pay off lawsuit fines seems much less credible than the story in the posts themselves. They're great posts, and there's no denying the community enthusiasm behind the man. It could be just elaborate fiction he decided to write in a forum instead of a magazine article, but if you notice, it's kind of a boring story. There's no real conflict. It has a real anticlimactic ending that's satisfying because it's so authentic and relatable.

Note: I'm refering to the original posts, not the dramatized dorama.

If it's a fictional story, it's a really weird piece of fiction. I think the forum would catch on if it started sounding like fiction. The bit about Densha sitting down to watch that shoujo anime (what was it called? Perm-something?) and not being able to register or concentrate on it at all after the traumatic confession he undertook, is just too good to be fiction. Only the best fiction writers are able to come out with stuff like that.

Apparently Densha's tripcode was cracked soon after he took one on. So what was it? (a bit of trivia, I admit, but I'm curious.)

Also, kind of weird that the real couple never stepped forward. I wonder if all the hype caused Hermes to find out about 2ch, freak out, and leave him.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've actually found it, and have been reading it before sleeping each night. Very interesting to see the similarity and contrast between the movie and the translated thread.

After reading quite a bit of the thread, I realize the idea doesn't seem too unique--Beauty and the Beast, Cyrano de Bergerac, West Side Story, Romeo and Juliet, Drive Me Crazy, etc. What do you think is it about this particular story that gives it a endearing and lasting quality?

I don't like the movie. The drama however RULES.

The show rocks, the manga rules, the movie is OK but the actual thread beats them all!

I too loved the book and the TV drama.
The movie was good, but to be honest the Drama was better. Because of the length of the series it had alot more time to play the story out and, while some may argue that the dramatization was awful, it also allowed them to include those quirky comedy moments that made the show so memorable. (With the help of the new characters Jinkama and Kazuya. There's only so much the residents could provide.)

i just finish watching the drama. I first read the manga accidentally and tried to look if it has an anime or a live action drama. Im also done reading the englishversion of the original post.
I hope i can find an information on what really happens to their relationship. If they are still together.

Hi! I just finished the drama recently and was watching the "making of" interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lilAxncj-Ng

I was looking for an english translation for it and came across this channel. I'm pretty amazed that this style of forum exists in english!!! Sooo excuse me if I'm breaking any rules...I could say I'm busy writing a paper but really I am just so excited to write in the same kind of forum (!!)

Anyways, I found the drama first. And I am really interested in the entire phenomenon. But should I stay away from reading the original (translated) posts? I don't want to end up like Couch Potato, who seems to have become so cynical towards this inspiring story...(no offense to ya)

594 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-04-14 13:18 ID:Heaven

Couch Potato is the default name in the Film/TV boards of 4-ch.

You're not breaking any rules, it is a cute and inspiring story, but imagine if like everytime someone heard a song from the beatles there was a post "oh wow guys this band is so great" in the music section. Except this happens in film, anime, manga, literature, romance, personal, general, whatever. It gets boring after a while, especially when no more input has to be added to the subject. This thread (amongst many others) is FOUR YEARS OLD for fuck's sake!

That said, welcome here, enjoy yourself amongst us!

595 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-08-09 07:40 ID:Qiwjencr

regarding the authenticity of densha otoko, i really like to believe it's real but even if it's not we got to see the world's most miraculous love story. i read on wiki that

"Densha Otoko's posts continued for awhile longer, but on May 17, there were posts about being on the verge of having sex, forum members made inappropriate comments (they had been expressing their opinions and thoughts about him). Later that night, Densha Otoko left the boards."

this makes me think that densha otoko is not a marketing scheme, if it were, the ppl behind it wouldnt be so stupid to destroy the "nice guy" image of densha. Anyways, it makes me a bit sad tho, there are certain things that shouldn't be posted on the internet when you're in a relationship like that

596 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-08-09 07:41 ID:Qiwjencr

interesting, the name automatically became couch potato even when i left it blank

597 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-08-09 07:43 ID:Qiwjencr

i thought 4ch encourages user to not leave names, the default name should be no name like 2ch or Anonymous

598 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-08-09 19:38 ID:qoZ9hLFw

>>595>>596>>597
Couch Potato is Anonymous for this subforum. Almost every subforum has a specific default name, to better fit the mood. It's like Anonymous, only flavored. I don't see what's wrong with that.

599 Name: J : 2009-12-01 19:28 ID:E/tp/2rP

Look. If it was a work of fiction, the Japanese users of 2-ch would respond to the publishing of the novel. Since they did not, i'd assume it to be true. You think too much, thread starter.

Anyhoo, i'm still going to watch the movie.

I want to know if we can find out if anything else happened to them or if there is a site or something to see an update. Please tell.

watch 'otaku no video'.
I really envy them.

612 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-04-27 20:27 ID:rMHcKJZ4

I liked the movie more than the TV show. Even though the woman felt a bit flat/unemotional in the movie, the characters were all around more believable I felt.

613 Name: densha's fan!!JJYYs87i : 2010-05-12 07:06 ID:tMJI9COU

this is the best drama i ever watched!!!! it reminds me of myself 3 years ago...hmmm...very touching indeed!! densha!!!

614 Name: Wonderfelt : 2010-05-14 13:01 ID:uRSdsFBO

yep .. one of the best drama .. but Nobuta wo Produce is the best for me .. lol .
Actually the reason I go to websites like this is because I watched Densha Otoko .. and I truly admired how those unknown people who hav never met Densha helped him so much .... it was just simply amazing ...
If ever there are still some otakus out there !! try becoming like Densha ..!!

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY!

617 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-10-22 19:47 ID:JNmMyVla

I'll skip the usual superlatives, expressions of conviction that it must be a true story, and wishes for updates (though I share them....) but:

Has anyone else noticed that the story is a remake (in real life) of the 1924 movie "Girl Shy", and that in the Fuji drama Ito and Ito match Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston in character, mannerism, and --- no less -- in FACE?

Dont't believe me? Look here:

It's freaky. Right down to dogs and trains.

The dorama's good, although it's very factitious, just like any other dorama.
