Densha Otoko!
« on: November 08, 2005, 10:49:59 AM »
I was just curious if any of you PGC'ers have seen this wonderful show.  

I just finished watching "Another ending" and I had to go gush somewhere.  

For the "uninitiated", Densha Otoko is a japanese dorama roughly based on a true story where a hopeless otaku saves a girl from a drunk on the subway, and with the help of a singles men board on the net, he tries to start a relationship.  Its very cute, funny, and heartwarming, and I'd recommend you pick it up if you can.    

Well, by pick it up, I mean torrent.  

At any rate...has anyone else gotten strength from Densha?

That sounds like there's lots of humour based on embarrasment. Sorry but I hate that.

Actually, there is suprisingly little.  The show largely casts otaku in a semi-postive light, and really, it evokes more of a pathos than anything resembling embarrasment.

But, thats not to say it doesn't have its high points.  Which there are alot of.
