I had first heard about Densha Otako (train man) when I went to an convention that I attend regularly. It was the TV series, a spin off from the movie. And it was really hilarious. I wanted to learn more about it, so I went to a local Asian pop culture place that I know of and inquired about it. The proprietors of the shop then showed me the movie. Even though is was not at all like I had expected, it was still one of the best that I has ever seen. The movie does keep it real from what I've seen from the TV series, and down plays the comedy while emphasizing the romantic aspects of it. The split screens between the people who chat on the site in the movie are awesome, and how is received on the movie is fantastic. It just goes to show you that even geeks can find love in all the right places. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in a true romantic movie such as this.
