[Movie Discussion] Densha Otoko / Train man

Post by leo008 » Apr 20th, '06, 00:23

Sorry if this is a repeat but i couldn't find any other threads from searching. Has anyone seen this movie? I just watched it earlier and think its hillarious. It somewhat reminds me of some of the forums here in the life and relationship section.

For those who are interested, i'm sure it won't be hard to find a review via google or something.

Its pretty much about a 22 year old Otaku who meets the girl of his dreams on the train and asks for advice from his online buddies. Check it out and let me know what you think.

In this case, the drama discussion thread is actually a pretty good place to discuss the movie. Most ppl saw the drama before the movie so there are a lot of comments and compatrisons regarding the movie in that thread as well...

i saw the movie first and i loved it much much better. the drama was unbelievable and ridiculous. it's just low level entertainment.

So what do most people think? I have seen the movie and liked it, but haven't watched the drama yet. I've hesitated, because I thought a storyline like that would be dragged out when it is over 3 hours.
