Negative Positive
Title: Stick to the TV series
Review: Yes, they've made a movie out of Densha Otoko, but it hasn't the heart of the original television series. Whereas on the show, comedy was mixed in with emotion for the genuinely geeky otaku, in this film, they've basically take a pretty boy Japanese actor, put a bad wig and glasses on him, then guess what? half way through the story they give him a makeover, and voila! he becomes a pretty boy again. puleez. Two favorable points about this film, The TV actors makes a cameo at the very end, picking up the continuity for the TV movie, Densha Otoko Deluxe. Train Man: The Movie exists within the 'world' of Train Man, that is, when his story became famous in the TV series, they made a film out of his life, being this film. After its release in Japan, they made Densha Otoko Deluxe, wherein they show posters for the film and ridicule it. The film's release has made all otaku celebrities, and women hound them wherever they go. Complicated.
