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.
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.
IT'S A MAN'S WORLD
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE NOTHING etc.
The ending was so perfect ;_____________;
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⊂)...
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.
Watching episode 9 of Densha now...does anybody esle feel the need to loudly emote while watching?
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.
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
?
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
The Operation Odessa scene was probably a little weird to people not familiar with Gundam, too
>>159
Which one would that have been? REQUESTING DETAILS!
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
Oh, I remember.
And that scene was modeled after some famous anime episode?
I'm not otaku enough for some of this!
I'm not sure ._.
I just know that's from Gundam~
I'm pretty sure it was modeled after the epsiode where Matilda dies.
I can't really recall much of Gundam.
>Matilda dies.
THPOILERTH
love how they introduced densha's mom with the gundam figure soo cool
Omg!
zOMG!
kita!
REQUESTING DETAILS!
Kitaaaaa!!
Can't wait to read the original Desha thread :o
＊Densha
Oct. 6th, be there or be square!
lol... ❤ Moomin ❤
Sigh... I don't know what to watch next week, since it is alredy finished.... i kinda feel the same with the otakus in the film.
Does anyone have any clue about imgboards or uploaders dedicated to Densha Otoko screencaps and photoshops? I am pretty sure people on 2channel have created such things but I wouldn't know where to start looking for them...
Just finished reading the first 2 missions at http://www.rinji.tv/densha/
Can't wait for the rest ( ・ω・)
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.
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.
Is the www.rinji.tv/densha/ site down? It keeps timing out, giving me "cannot be found" errors :(
finished watching the show! densha otoko saikou!!
I already watch the GTO drama. have other option? And i don`t think GTO is still playing in Japanese Tv.
Can`t wait until 6 october, the Densha Otoko:Encore
if u enjoy GTO...u'll probably like "Gokusen" (& its sequel)
I've been meaning to check out Gokusen ever since I saw that one AV parody of it and then noticed the lead chick from the actual series looked just as cute if not cuter!
Look here -> http://www.sars-fansubs.com/?id=bt
Thanks Miki, i'll try that one ^^
TV-Nihon have great subs, but they're only on episode 3. They want to complete the series within a fortnight, though - wait for it.
What's the movie like compared to the TV series (which I think is awesome)?

So far i have come by those drama and movie with chinese subtitle :) ANyone interested plz go to http://www.plusbb.com/discuz/viewthread.php?tid=264479&extra=page%3D1
The drama rocks compared to the movie :) Minna just wait for the special edition on 6th of october at 10pm!!!
so... whats the difference between the Drama and the movie.
wich is better? which is more "real".
>>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.
i found the original posts but i can't read japanese... can someone translate it? (a little at a time :)) thanks!

Hm, something seems to be broken with that gigantic thread...
Anyway, the direct link works, so huzzah!
is there a 1st finale special besides that ng thing
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?
>>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.
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?
Eh? Isn't F2 Special the episode about Yamada's friend that aired on Oct 6? What else are you talking about?
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
Oh okay
You mean this:

Haven't downloaded that yet, will do later & report back.
What the hell is this?:

Densha certainly looks.....less Densha
Hey, I'm not sure if I got the right site, but it seemed like everyone is talking about Densha,,,,,so, I guess I'm at the right place?
don't know if anyone is here or gone to bed or just being quiet...well, I think Densha is cool tv soap.........although most likely of it happen to people I know are little
People are awfully missing here.........be right back!
well people,,,,chat you all later..... by the way, please do introduce new jap saop (thats decent) I don't want some crying or too much romance involve ^-^
AHAHAHA, when I'm online no one is in this room! oh well, I will check before I got to bed.^-^!
>>216-220
what
Hello Couch Potato---- ^-^..... I will chat with you all tomorrow......so sleepy ZZZZzzzzZZZ
bye bye.....by the way.... what is it that you are trying to say? 221
lol
a note to TV..
Couch Potato is not one person.. it is anonymous.
When you leave your name field blank.. you become Couch Potato.
yep
I'm in the middle of downloading episode 8. I've been on pins and needles since I finished 7.
>>227
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?
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?
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.
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).
>>230
Taishi-mode on: Mai broder! I just finished episode 8 as well!
DENSHA BRAVOOOOOO!!!!
GO, FOR EVERLASTING PEACE!

Well, it's already been done before:
http://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1105190240/
And DQN seems to be a more appropriate place for this sort of exercise.
I just saw episode 9. I feel like one of those "shock!" images where they freeze and turn to stone.
another final is awesome
Just watched episode 9 as well.
This "you lied" "IM SORRY" thing is getting a little bit played out.
And yet... I still am compelled... to watch more...
