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.
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.

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

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!

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

Cant wait<3
Loved the first episode... but I can't imagine myself sitting through ELEVEN HOURS of this x_x

>>303
You don't need to. Somehow it just happens and you're left wanting more.
>>303
yeah. watch 2 eps. a day. Me? after watching 3 eps., I was completley hooked that I finished it in one sitting anyway.
Hi I'm new to this thread here.... I really like Densha Otoko and cant beleive its based on these threads! its unbeleivable! some one please tell me whats going on here ~"~
I wonder what the real Densha is.....
People in this thread are likely to find http://4-ch.net/tv/kareha.pl/1141892882/ interesting.
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.
I love this movie. Densha character has inspired me so much. Gave me courage. Gave me the feeling of love. Gave light to my boring world. Thanks Densha!! I recommend this drama to everyone. I hope people can enjoy this drama which touch my heart
>>311 I agree with him, Denaha has insired me a well from the show. it gives those who cant find love the courage to go for it, i really appreciate what densha did in the show!!~
Denshaaaaaaaa
what the.... Densha Otoko lol
The movie is one heck of a lot more depressive than the series...
hmm... I just came here after finish watching Densha Otoko the drama series like an hour ago. I am in a bunch of other forums as well, but this style of forum is very interesting hmm... ya I'm a n00b XD
Hiya?
btw does anyone know how this tripcode thing works?
what tripcode??
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....
Correction it seems the random stuff actually appears as part of your name
Because I saw someone's nic as this
Sharp!KQAbEcB7Uw
hmm I have to try that someday...
oh here we go
just type !tripcode in front of your name I think there is some other thing you can type in there to change it but I'm not sure anyone know how?
Hmm did this thread die?
oh i see!! thanks! ^^
Np^^ (w are we the only 2 left here?)
haha i think so xD! where is everyone else?! who was that random densha otoko?? ~"~
dunno probably just someone who copied the Japanese name into their Name XD
lol who ever that was it was pretty random lol xD
Shut the fuck up, you fucking idiots.

hi, anyone knows where to buy the mina figurine in the densha otoko show? the one with the bunny ears and 2 carrots

they should make more of these then...＿|￣|○
I heard there was only 2 of them 1 of them broke during production, the other one was sold at a comike in japan
yea its true, one of them was broken when they were filming Densha otoko. you can find it on youtube.com and i think its Densha Otoko NG's xD
http://www.vipper.net/vip22992.jpg
game otoko? what is that.
what is that?
Hi ( ` - ´ )>
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!
that last post had the wrong email link - this one is correct!
one more thing, anyone know of an online site selling Densha Otoko merchandise??
thanks!
personaly i wanna see like an expansion to the series.
kind of what happened next. dont realy care if its what
actualy happned in real life or if the writers came up with it.
>>340 episode 12 just tells the stories of the other posters so not much goes around it.
（*´Д`）ﾊｧﾊｧ...
Hey! What's about the merchandise stuff? Anyone an idea? I want it too! XDD
Well actually it does wrap up some things for the main chracters as well. To make it simple it wraps up the loose ends and gives the other people to shine. But stuff does go on.
>>342
What you don't know can't hurt you...
Where can I find the movie version of this subbed guys?? Thanks a lot!
My boyfriend and I watch the TV series via youtube.com...
It's quite addicting, hard to resist Densha and the cute ASCII guy. :P And yay for the op songs. Twilight <3
>>345
what kind of merchandises you want?
