Real life Densha Otoku

[mad pierrot]

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but I know there are some big Densha Otoku fans around here. For those of you not familiar with the story, it's basically how a heroic geek helps out a beautiful woman and she falls in love with him. Not too long ago a Japanese TV program sought to find out if geeks are really that heoric in real life. Pretty funny!

Hilarious!

I have missed the "Train Man" phenomenon completely, guess I need to watch more TV, lolol.

pretty interesting how many of them worked up the courage to help. #85 had me rolling though.

been watching the series I found off one of the torrent sites....that had english subs, although I didn't need them....
not sure if these are real or not, but found these off another site:

hxxp://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1098117242/

changed the http to hxxp to avoid direct linking....

Still have a hard time believing a beautiful woman would fall for an otaku, however....but the show is interesting...and funny.....
