I fully agree, what a great series!

well i dunno if my japanese good enuff to understand it, but in the end of episode 11, they showed sometin like theres another 30 mins special on Oct 6, issit???

and for people who watching slow dance at the same time, there's some connection between both of the series, only minor ones.
One of the internet friend appear in both series and he acted as the same character, i only knew it at the last episode when he showed the pic of his and his wife in his working outfit =x And in slow dance i dunno which episode his wife mentioned that the guy always surfing on net and she had no idea what hes doin. His profile says it all, same name =/

hm...last episode was kinda nothing special, nothing unexpected happened but well..since the other eps were so great the show still rocked

and there will be a densha otoko special ep with one of his otaku friends as the main character (the one without glasses, who got kicked in the leg in the last ep by one of "Hermes'" friends).
sad that they don't do one about jinkamasan, she was way cooler

is the Densha Otoko special available on D-addicts, and with eng subs?

Jinkamasan, she was very hot...

I don't even think it has aired in Japan yet, so why would it be available there.

Yeah, densha otoko is great! But I've to agree that the final part of the last episode is kinda draggy...

and for the special, guess that we've to wait for this coming fri... looking forward to it!

And anybody watched Fuji's Ganbatta Taisho? It's funny to see their MC scenes... esp Jinnai's ab lib... so fierce...

If you've been to fuji's site, u'll see that one of the internet friend is indeed linked with slow dance... they even have a link to slow dance under the characters chart! And you could play a densha otoko game at fuji's website too:

There's a "prize" if u complete the game... but it took me quite a while to "complete" it (I actually found a cheat to clear it... wow, talking about wota....)

maybe the last ep of Densha Otoko dragged on a bit with the main character with the other forum internet members saying their farewells, but it was a great series overall.

Yeah, I definitely think they could have done the series in 10 episodes. 11 was mostly just review and the farewell on the BBS seemed dragged out. At any rate, it had really funny and lovable characters. Even the "bad guys" were more comic than anything.

And any time I get to see Misaki Ito is a treat. What a fox! I remember her in the Grudge.

u need the d man and the bbs crew just go to http://japanetdownloads.blogsome.com

to get the last episode and its subtitles. also i just got home from my friends house. we watched all 11 episodes today. his wife loved it and so did his two young boys. we cried and laughed all day and night. they thought the last episode was good. and yes it was more of a recap and did seem to drag on but overall it was a great series. Plus it was based on a true story.

absolutly correct. that's why I wrote that there will be a special

and wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns up on d-addicts short after it aired since densha otoko is a huge success in japan

I've seen the last Densha ep.
Compared to the other eps, this one is not as good.
The best ep I think is the Benoist ep (when they all went to that british tea shop) followed by ep 10.

Now, with Densha done and over with, will there be a new comedy able to take its place...

yeah, felt that the last ep, didn't have the impact and wasn't as good as the other ep's, but overall, funny and one of the best series so far.

Heh, it was one of the best series up to date, imo. I enjoyed it the whole way through. Kitaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

yes yes. The picture he held up in the end (when he said he was gonna treasure his wife more because of Densha Otoko) showed his character in Slow Dance.

In Slow Dance, he was Tsumabuki Satoshi's learner driver who opened a fish rice stall together with his wife when he marreid her in the series.

The picture was them in their fish rice stall uniforms. It was a really nice easter egg for the fans.
