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.
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.

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

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.

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

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?
Hi...
Densha Otoko is the best...
I love Densha Otoko!Do you guys recommend any other good dorama?
i love this show and movie!
talves voceis nao me entendao mas estol postando
para dizer q densha otoko e demais mudoul minha vida
I LOVE DENSHA OTOKO!!!!__
__ |Oi love densha 2.their story is so sweet.i hope my life will be as advanture as this story...sugoii ne
I'm a guy and i cried almost every episode T_T
Do you guys like the charater namely Hermes-san?
It is Hermes-tan.
I loved it, very much. ^_^
Gambatte ne to all Denshas!
>>>(;^___^);<<<
Actually, -tan is just an honorific suffix, and can be swapped in and out with -san, or others, depending on the situation.
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.
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.
I actually became bothered enough to find out the actress' name: Shiraishi Miho - and in the show she's known as Jinkama.
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!
Also wondering how come the TV soundtrack doesn't have the full song done by Sambomaster?
<shrug> Wasn't too fond of the Sambomaster song anyhow.
who was the actress who ended up being the girlfriend of the "Single Rant Thread" thread master? She was cute, too
Personally, I liked the girl that was together with the crazy hair guy
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?
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.
It's the girl who kept beginning her post by saying "I'm just a girl..."
I love the confession part of Densha and Hermes at the top of the building.
The part when they are sitting on the park bench is the BEST! Hermen-tan's voice was SOOOOO sexy...my God...faints
Amen - Hermes is always running through my mind :P
