Denshe Otoko or "Train Man" is a great and refreshing take on the typical romance genre. We've probably all seen at least one movie with the geeky guy wanting the hot girl, but what makes Denshe Otoko special is that it isn't about achieving the "trophy girl" its about finding pretty much "A GIRL." The protagonist, called Train Man, is a 22 year old Otaku, which is Japanese for a guy who's into anime and comics, (in America the equivalent would be a Treky) who's never had a girlfriend or pretty much a social life ever. So guy sees girl(on train), guy saves girl from bully(on train) and guy and girl meet(on train)--typical. However Denshe Otoko is unique in that it makes the audience feel as if you are in the movie.
Train Man, not knowing the first thing about girls or dating, receives constant support from strangers on his internet BLOG. They are interested in finding out if it is possible for an Otaku to get a girl. They give him advice and constant support in his endeavor, and you the audience either sympethicially or empathetically are right there as well cheering him on.
I highly recommend it, especially to all you single guys out there. Its a good reminder that girls don't care about what you are but about who you are. Confidence, effort and the support of good friends are what makes this world a little easier to bare.
