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.
Hey thanks peppermint. :P
I was at school so I forgot about the show for a while there.
Bump.
I come bearing somewhat bad news. Greyhorse, who was subbing Densha up to now, is stopping to sub this series due to problems he's been having recently.
However, three new subtitlers will be subbing the last three episodes of Densha. :)
Also, no new raw so far. (This is as of 8:21 PM ET)
oh and 49-51GET!
Episode 9 RAW
http://d-addicts.net/torrents/Densha%20Otoko%20-%20ep09%20%28704x396%29%20%5BRAW%5D.avi.torrent
Also, next episode (#10) is supposed to be the final episode but twice as long (2 hours).
>>Also, next episode (#10) is supposed to be the final episode
;_;
Well, I finally catched up and I have to say...
Episode 8 was sooo over the top... I found it to be too exaggerated it a lot of times. More than usual, I mean.
I have a question, though. The AA master/programmer is supposed to be the admin of "A-channel"? So he was Hiroyuki on 2ch?
what
Also, damn them for playing that freaking O-ZONE in the short restaurant scene.
"The Japanese title (houdai) of American film Napoleon Dynamite will be Bus Otoko (Bus Man.) As Yuki points out, this new title has almost nothing to do with the film itself and 100% to do with the fact that there is a popular Japanese film/television show/internet hoax called Densha Otoko. (Even the tagline is based on 2-ch typography!) In last month's Cyzo, an article about the current "Virgin Boom" referenced ND as being "Bus Man" in Japan, but I was convinced at the time that the writer was making a bad joke."

A(laddin)-channel is the fictional bbs they post to in Densha Otoko.
... the drama.
zing triplepost
I know. But since AA master reveals himself as admin of A-channel, is the "real" AA master supposed to be Hiroyuki (admin of 2channel)?
hmmmm
"Ep 10 is normal length and will air on 9.15, Ep 11 is 1 and a half hours long, and is the last ep, and will air on 9.22. That's what I gather anyways, if any official source has said differently, I'd be glad to know where"
That fictional Hiroyuki is fuckin' sexy.
Hmmmm
I wonder if the chicken thing refers to:

>>59 is right. If you watch closely, it's a very apparent fake 2ch. The front page's pot was replaced with a genie's bottle (reference to Aladdin). The text which is written vertically (2ちゃんえる) was replaced with Aちゃんえる.
However, if I remember correctly, when Jinkhama-san first goes on a-ch, it seems she typed 2ch. I watched it two times, and I'm pretty sure that the URL she types is 2ch.net/(random string here)
I'll take pictures if I can later on.
Subtitles for Episode 9, same place as always (different translator, though):

<3 Hiroyuki!
2 Channel, or simply "2ch," is designed and operated by 26-year-old Tokyo native Hiroyuki Nishimura, who describes himself as "forever 19, a lover of sweets, and a 'hikikomori' (someone who has withdrawn from society)." He started it in May 1999, he said, because "it seemed like fun.
japantimes
http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/117/285gz.jpg
Does Hiroyuki ever post to 2ch?
Yes, his handle is 名無しさん
>>72
no.
"In keeping with his detachment, Mr. Nishimura said he was bored with his Web site and did not believe it was worth enough to attract buyers. Asked about Channel 2's role in Japanese society, he said people used it simply to "kill time."
"Many people who write on Channel 2 are stupid," Mr. Nishimura said, making a statement that many Channel 2 regulars would agree with but one that will surely draw a flurry of attacks. "They cannot change the world by writing about it. If they really want to have an impact, there are other things they could be doing.""
>>74
just like moot rofl
>>75
Pretty much every forum admin does that.
It's some internet law that states you cannot run a rather popular website without dissing your users from time to time.
just saw ep1 , it laughed so hard. Altough i felt sad for him some times.
lolling @ episode 9 mentioning YUKORIN!
>>78
lol!
>>78
Can you explain?
>>80
Yuko Ogura, or, Yukorin, is a Japanese idol who is pretty popular among 2channelers, even on the English board where it's become some sort of ritual to bring up Yukorin whenever entertainment needs to be had, esp. in the chat thread:
http://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1125399828/
I just found it funny to picture the dude in ep9 as one of those who'd interrupt my conversations in there by stating that her farts smell like vanilla or somesuch.
>>76
It's true.
I used to run a somewhat popular website, and many of the users were fuckin' stupid.
>>82
One doesn't need to run a website to know that fact :P

BT is much simpler in the long run.
HEY WHY IS THERE NO DENSHA OTOKO THIS WEEK!?
Er, there should be one, they just didn't upload it yet.
Oh, okay. I heard about someone having seen it already on D-Addicts.

Because of the election, every tv station was changed propgrams in this week... (>_<)

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).
> (the last one probably being the "double-episode" that's been rumored, so 10+11)
errr, scretch that. i am tired...............
>>103
Yes! Tonight is not final episode according to
http://tv.yahoo.co.jp/bin/search?id=35075576&area=tokyo

acutally in traditional chinese, it would also be : 電車男

>>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.
>>125 why do he say "mother" to her mother , is it some formal japanese thing.
>>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.
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.
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.
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.
A question that's been haunting me for some time:
What kind of mouse is Densha using?
>>134
I figured as much, but it's still funny, esp. who they chose for that.
I'll wait for the proper DVDRIP of densha otoko movie

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.
****
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.
subs for episode 11 available @ http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=227054#227054
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!
lol http://www.3ch.jp/ have changed their logo to the a-lamp:
http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=11268875947265ex.jpg
Haha... reality inspired by fiction, which was itself inspired by reality. Weird!
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
