The ending was completely different from what really happened on 2ch, so it's a lot more dramatic (well, it's a dorama after all) and a bit too hard to believe (like Hermes accepting Densha even though she read everything on 2ch). Hermes is just too good of a person. ^^

I recommend reading the original posts copied from 2ch in Japanese or translated into English. It can be even more fun than watching the dorama, at least it was for me.

hahaha i really liked this Drama especially since the story revolves around an Otaku and a forum filled with REALLY random people

the experiment on whether or not otakus will save the girl was pretty funny too

As for the specials i liked the first one but the second kinda killed it a bit for me... still awesome though

[(AZN)animedude]

hello guys! a densha otoko fan here!


just a question, what do you likemost? the movie densha otoko? or the series?


well, for mei really like the series, coz, the otaku side is really alive on the actor, unlike the actor on the movie, after the self make-over, the otaku aura was gone!

[prettycatchy]

I liked the series a lot more. Better looking actors overall I guess and I had seen it before the movie. More time to see the other people who were replying to him and the whole community aspect about it. It was just really cute and sweet. I just love true stories.

[Tiger Yuri]

Ah- A bit obsessed with this right now, it's really sweet, and I love the soundtrack!

I prefer the series (only because that's the first one I watched, probably).

OMGOSH! o_o Thx for the links!! >u< I just finished to read the 1st mission!! =D
hehe I wonder how the real densha otoko thought about how popular his story got!
Also, all of that happened on 2004... I hope that they (hermes and densha) are still together! >.<

The movie is OK.. But I like the actors in the Drama a lot more. And it doesn't feel so rushed (Maybe because it's longer). I think both the Movie and the Drama are both hilarious though!!

I think the only thing I didn't like was when Densha went to that Island and he met the guy just like him (I don't remember if that was a special or not.. It was too long ago. Kind of a blur.. But I remember really not liking it ).

[Beecubed]

The series is awesome... one of the first Jdramas I'd seen, and thought it was very funny and heartfelt (if not annoying at times).

It's a little unbelievable that somebody as hot as Misaki Ito would go for a whimpering little man like that... but it somehow worked out in the end! Lol...

Very uplifting show. More like this please, Japan

[qilver_21137]

This is one of my favorite most entertaining J-dramas, and i think it came out back in '05, i've seen it, probably more than once, its that good.

[xxRia]

Thinking back about the series, It really is awesome. I always loved how when Densha went out, He'd run into other members from the forums, Not knowing who they were! Haha I have been thinking about watching this drama again.. Maybe over Christmas break or something..

Does anyone know if the book is in English? (I believe the was an actual book for Densha. I don't know if there ever was a Manga though).

I bought the book, with parts from the drama, not sure word for word, but it was called "Train Man", go look it up if you want, i forgot the author, but it was a good book, i just forgot where i put it. Its in english too, and got it from Kinokuniya one of the local branches here in Cali. I am sure you can find it online, maybe Amazon.

^ Ah, Thank you very much! I remember reading about there being a book a long time ago, I was worried it wasn't a copy in English. Glad to know it is though! I'll have to look around for it =)

[k0nk0n]

The author is Hitori nakano ... but the publisher for The english edition is Del Rey ..... It is something i never had a different feel for even after years of rewatching..

definitely the drama series, because it wasn't compressed in just under 2 hours for a movie, yet it was drawn out enough to establish a story-line, and character development, with many details. This one is quite memorable and great to watch over and over.

[MoeGenesis]

yatta! im new in this tread,

little my opinion : densa for me like basic for everyone to be otaku or Wota, coz densa inspired me like that

i watched the drama first and then watched the movie, what a mistake x.x while the heartwarming moments in the drama made me cry, i didn't even tear once during the movie series :/ though it's described in the original densha otoko book that hermes looks like the actress in the movie, i feel that itou misaki is more suited for hermes, just personal preference i guess ><
