i don't wanna read any spoilers here inadvertently but man, this show is a riot....i love it. i had it sitting on my hard drive for some time but i really wanted to finish up the shiet i was already watching. after viewing a mediocre effort in "moto kare," at least in my opinion, this show seems all the better. the opening segment of the first episode was absolutely wild...the soundtrack for this show is spot on man...

trivial facts: The most popular keyword search on Google Japan in June was "Densha-otoko," which refers to a love story about an Akihabara geek who meets a beautiful girl on the train.


At Akihabarafs LaLa Love Doll Rental, customers can retire to a room with one of 17 styles of inflatable dolls. Cost: \12,000 for 90 minutes

read this about the 2 channel BBS of Densha Otoko fame (where they posted on the show)

-------------------------------------------------------------

The feud between record label Avex and members of 2Channel, Japan's most popular BBS, has escalated to the level of death threats. Avex has been cashing in on the wildly successful song "Koi no Maiahii" by East European group O-Zone. Part of the song's huge success has been an amateur Flash animation featuring a cat singing along in Japanese to the song (except the lyrics are actually Rumanian!) which became an underground hit largely thanks to 2Channel. Board members named the cat Monaa and consider it to be their own mascot. They are furious that Avex is making money from it, selling merchandising and even trying to patent their slight variation of the cat character, which they named Noma-neko. Last week one 2Channel poster threatened online to kill Avex employees with a knife as they left work, while at the weekend, another threatened to set fire to the home of Avex president Matsuura Masato (41) and "barbeque" his family. The company is not taking the threats lightly and has brought in the police. Yesterday, several hundred "2Channel-ers" gathered near Shibuya and Harajuku stations and handed out thousands of leaflets to passers-by.

Lovey lovey dolls? hehe hee hee hehehe love dolls haha haaa hahaa!
It s a good thing yamada didnt go for that kinda crap!

This show was great. At first when I saw the first ep I was kinda mad at Densha cause his character was so timid. But then the more and more I watched the more I cheered for him. This series was well done hat off to Densha Otoko. :woot:
