I guess in the genuine Densha Otoko was smart enough to write a book, then he was probably a better conversationalist than either of these versions.

I found an old disk of the drama series and re-watched it, then found an (unsubbed) version of the movie online. Although I think the forum members from the drama version are extremely amusing, both of the leads make me squirm. Misaki Ito purses her lips and gazes blankly into the middle distance, Atsushi Ito grimaces and snivels. I much preferred Takayuki Yamada for sure as an actor and also as a made-over otaku. Takayuki Yamada plays Densha as an introvert as well as a geek while Atsushi Ito seems all caricature, nothing human. In both versions, however, I am left wondering why Densha loves Hermes - she gave him the time of day, is there anything deeper?Andreahttp://greentea.tknoreply@blogger.com
