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.

Be patient anyone ^^ tonight is the last episode, and it'll be 2 hours long.

>>102
Doesn't seem so. See >>62 and esp. http://cal.syoboi.jp/ (look for "電車男" #10). See also http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/denshaotoko/index.html

> 2005年9月15日 22:00~22:54
> 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).

Hermes-san is actually going to date Yamada's mother which we will see in person for the first time in the last episode.

>>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.

127 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-18 16:12 ID:azkOzH67

>>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.

130 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-18 21:10 ID:Heaven

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.

135 Name: 130 2005-09-19 09:05 ID:Heaven

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

136 Name: Couch Potato 2005-09-19 18:03 ID:Heaven

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!

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.

The ending was so perfect ;_____________;

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.

wich is better? which is more "real".

197 Name: Couch Potato 2005-10-03 18:48 ID:Heaven

>>196
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.
