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.
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!

>>198
It's already a translation work in progress.
The first two chapters are already translated.

woops, sorry

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:
http://d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22939
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...
>>248
the whole relationship is a total otaku wish-fullfillment bore if you ask me. it's all the OTHER characters who are fun.
250GET
I agree... although I still want him to succeed.
What is your favourite scene in the show guy?
Mine is the hospital scene on episode 8.
"Mourth to mourth?"
I meant to say "guys", not "guy".
I sound like some wigger in that sentence.
and yes... I JUST saw the thread directly beneath asking "what is your favourite scene".
I fail at life.
sup guys lol
wtf is "変車" ????
>>254
He's probably driving a dodge.
you are correct! You win teh prize!
Episode 10
Emperor's theme! Densha rape! Saori's mom! Akiba stalk!
BENOIST!!!｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡
hey!!! have subs for "densha otoko another finale" already out?!?!? I would apreciate if you could post a link where to download them from... T__T
thanks!

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?
Do anyone know what brand is the chain that was given to densha but hermes in the last episode?
Look nice, felt like buying a pair.
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?
You could read the translation of the original forum posts someone is doing. It's linked in one of the densha threads.
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?
うをおおおおおお電車男めっちゃいいわー
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
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~
Nevermind, it was on the OST ... orz
ooo, interesting. Is it a real drama? If so, what is it about besides three girls apparently making over a geek?
Chickan Otoko.... it premieres on 11/19 then im guessing?
iv just watched the first ep and i can't beleve how much it has touched me!
>>273
x Trenchant Insight
o Tell Me More
x Bon Mot
I think >>273 was talking about the regular Densha Otoko
I also don't know what Chikan Otoko is supposed to be about
download trailer morons!
