AHHHH!!!!

Ch 56 in Cable TV is showing it!!

I finally get to see the series!! No need to download it~! XD And if it is REALLY good, I just buy the vcd set ba~

Then again, I had quite a good impression on this show, after watching the first episode~ For those who do not know the story yet (but I think many would have known by now), the show is based on a real life story of a nerdy otaku who fell in love with a pretty lady on the train. He saved her one day from some drunk man and when the lady sent a token of appreciation to him, he turned to an online forum thing for help. There, people in different walks of life, in Japan and some overseas adviced him and guide him along.

OTAKU NE!!! hahaha..I was very amused when I saw the first part of the show. All the revealing anime girls, a cafe with waitresses wearing frenchmaid or lolita costumes, and the ever important, ROBOTS! Gundams if you want to rephrase it~ ahhaha

I find it a refreshing show, apart from the usual sappy love stories. This show portrays how the world is so connected in virtual land. We may not know one another in the real world, but we do browse through forums, chat channels and ended up talking, joking and crapping with a complete stranger. In the past, I used to go to chat channels and chatted with some people who are not from Singapore. Nowadays, I visited forums filled with Singapore anime/manga lovers and get to know many different people.

Virtual world has connected strangers and made the world smaller.

As someone conceptualise, the world has become flat.

Anyway, this show is also refreshing because the male character isn't handsome (though the actor is~ jus that he have to portray the character, that's why the nerd look~) Usual Japanese drama shows I saw has all the cute and handsome mains. Weirdly, I finally see someone handsome in this show, who is actually one of those forum visitors that assisted and cheered on for the main. Funny right? hahaha...

I think this Densha Otoko story is cute...I'm tempted to go kino tomorrow and see if there is any English translated version of the novel~ :)
