Densha Otoko ( 2channel real story ) (627)

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.

That's really fun to read after watching the movie. They did a great job being faithful to the actual thread, train man's emotions, etc.

Yeh, I've actually seen the drama. But there's a movie, not sure if that's any good.

i really enjoyed the tv series, along with the specials.
I want to know if we can find out if anything else happened to them or if there is a site or something to see an update. Please tell.

611 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-04-24 06:21 ID:+PQL2j51

watch 'otaku no video'.
I really envy them.

I liked the movie more than the TV show. Even though the woman felt a bit flat/unemotional in the movie, the characters were all around more believable I felt.

yep .. one of the best drama .. but Nobuta wo Produce is the best for me .. lol .
Actually the reason I go to websites like this is because I watched Densha Otoko .. and I truly admired how those unknown people who hav never met Densha helped him so much .... it was just simply amazing ...
If ever there are still some otakus out there !! try becoming like Densha ..!!

I'll skip the usual superlatives, expressions of conviction that it must be a true story, and wishes for updates (though I share them....) but:

Has anyone else noticed that the story is a remake (in real life) of the 1924 movie "Girl Shy", and that in the Fuji drama Ito and Ito match Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston in character, mannerism, and --- no less -- in FACE?

Dont't believe me? Look here:

It's freaky. Right down to dogs and trains.

Still alive.
The dorama's good, although it's very factitious, just like any other dorama.
