This might be one of the best Japanese movies I have seen in its genre. The movie has the classical genres like comedy, romance and drama. The stories is said to be based on a true story. Great to Enjoy with friends or alone.
Synopsis
A young Japanese Otaku saves a pretty young woman from a drunken man on the train. After the incident, the young women gets the Otaku's address and sends him a gift to thank him. The Otaku feels surprised after receiving a thank you gift. He wants to compensate the young women for the gift and tries to invite her. The problem is that he is an Otaku and he has no idea of how to invite her.
Unsurprisingly, he looked for answers on the largest chat site of Japan: "2Channel". There he finds a lot of people that are willing to help him as they see themselves partially reflected in the Otaku. As the story progresses many funny things happen but characters change throughout the story. At the end, it all depends from the characters...
Interesting Facts
The story is a bit older but apparently the story was talked over and over by millions on 2channel. This made the story popular until at some point the story was adapted to a Manga. As a Manga, the story gained even more popularity and was then adapted in a book followed by a movie and tv drama.
Extra Credit
The acting of the Otaku was really convincing. The Actor that interpreted the Otaku is called Takayuki Yamada and he usually is the more action filled cool guy in the movies. In Densha Otoko, he had to interpret the role of an Otaku that is shy and introvert. His character felt very original and true. That made the story very credible and easy to connect to.
One of the best japanese movies for everyone. Enjoy the movie and share your experience if you like with us on our Google Plus Page <(_ _)>
