Densha Otoko
Rent Densha Otoko has been described as "a fairy tale for the internet generation". Central to the story is the real-life Japanese web forum known as 2ch, the single largest internet message board in the world. A text-only forum in which all who post have complete anonymity, the lovelorn main character is given the nickname "Densha Otoko"--which means "Train Man"--by his fellow 2ch-ers after relating a story of how he met a beautiful woman on a train after standing up to a drunken passenger. Having no idea how to court the lady, who is nicknamed "Hermes" by the forum-goers, Densha Otoko turns to his fellow internet companions for help in winning her heart.
