has anyone heard of the show densha otoko?
It's a Japanese TV show about a really nerdy guy (nerds are called otokos)
Who stands up for a lady on the subway, and how they become friends, and then densha falls in love with her, and kinda classic boy meets girl plot.
We watched this in our Japanese class last year, and the show also involves densha's online life, and he talks to fellow otokus online about the girl and his life, it's kinda funny.
anyways this is the first online forum I've every spent a lot of time on and it kinda remeinds me of the otokus forum. In a good way.
this is the first part of the 1st episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46fmLF2sTIE
 sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight |

I watched the movie Densha Otoko last April in my Japanese class lol but I never knew it was a TV show as well. It is so cute. And I loved how all the characters communicated online to resolve their situations. |

thanks for replying I think the movie took place 2 years after the tv series left off, there's even a manga.
Supposidly this was all based off of a true story that happened
But ya I loved how supportive everyone online was to densha |

I had the manga a long time ago, but I only read the first chapter.  Btw, otokO = man, otAku = nerd. Densha otoko happens to be an otaku, so you mixed them up.
