電車男
Densha otoko or ‘train man’ is a very interesting Dorama about an otaku. I only watched the first episode so I can’t say much, but I’ve got to admit it, the otaku life as shown in it is really sad and depressing. The main character being an otaku is hated by people even their relatives. One night, he fought back againts a drunk who attempted to sexually harass the girl he fell for, in a train, thus the nickname densha otoko. He later received a gift and astonishingly, number to her cellphone, he brought the topic to a bulletin board specifically known as 2channel (２ちゃねる or 2ch) where he discussed it with other otakus. It turned out quite interesting, eventhough they were anonymous people, everyone supported him to call her. *Imported from my other blog.
