i have the densha otoko tv series ... it's fairly good and i like the number of in jokes about various anime in it (lots of Keroro Gunso models) and all the diffrent mad people on the net but the love story part of it was a bit shit

They had a two day marathon of the TV series while I was in Japan. Pretty rubbish stuff if you ask me but somehow addictive.
As it was a marathon they also made all the actors run around tokyo while they were playing the show. Lots of maids involved.

What the fuck is that title song? I'm sure I've heard it before.

The guy who plays densha is playing the pigsy in the new saiyuki (monkey to us) series that started on Monday. Shingokun is monkey.

So someone just made it up or something? How long did it take? And if it's logical, how easy is it to read then?

Fuck, I don't know, I just read that in the front of a learn Korean book in the library.

I know a mate of a mate who learnt it and said it was pretty easy. i rember him explaining how and why it was so simple but sadly I was not interseted in the slightest and can't reacall what he said.
 
twiliht by electric liht orchestra

the whole opening sequence is a tribute to the daicon openings by gainax

infact that bunny girl charactor is a tribute to the diacon bunny girl ...

infact you probably know this as there is a huge chunk of FLCL where Haruko skysurfs in a bunny irl costume as a tribute to the same thing

I was a bit gutted that I missed it, I wonder if it will be sold to the UK, after all it was a big hit before.

That Shingokun does almost everything on Japanese TV, I saw him in the live action nin nin (it's a cartoon so from the Derimon guy so I assume you know it) the other day as well.

Yeah I like the opening, sadly I have only seen it once as they did not repeat it after the first ep.

really? i have the tv rips and it's on all the ones i have (though sometimes shortened)

i really want to get a full lenght clean copy of it most anime dvds come with clean op+ed but i dunno if there will be one for this
 
Like I said it was a marathon. They just kept playing ep after ep. Titles would have lost time they wanted for talking to the marathon runners and maid girls etc.

I missed the titles on day one but caught them on day two.
 
that must have been harsh

i liked the show but i felt like i was wadin through toffie after about 3 episodes

same with the GTO live action remake ....

I only watched about 3 on each day. That Densha is a fucking twat. Oh boo hoo, I don't really surf, I meant surfing the internet and shopping at Mandarake like the sad fucking bastard I am.

Wait a minute I do that.



Ah look the 100 party is over.
 
could be worse

*does turtle imprestion*

mind you they had a ton of shuffle merchandise and thats a ero game thats just become an anime so that gave me a larf .... forget not bein able to surf how would she like to see him watchin a guy doing the nasty to an lolicon charactor
 
She obviously liked him from the fucking start anyway, all he had to do is not be a sodding wipering knob head. Somehow this was all too much for him.

Mrs Suplex says that the website the real Densha does is quite extreame an scary.

Just out of interest Napoleon Dynamite is being called bus otoko in a kind of cash in. They have kind of written it the same and stuck a bus on the front of the DVD. What the fuck has Napoleon Dynamite got to do with buses apart from the fact he gets one to school.

sounds like you watched the directors cut with about half an hour added on. the original release is much better where he never sees his childhood sweetheart again after she leaves the island.
 
well to be honest densha is only on a train for a few min in the first episode and then hardly again for the rest of the show

if it wasn't for the opening credits this show would rate few low on the train rating

maybe they should do a second gainax tribute where he just sits on the train and takes vast amounts of acid it would be the second half of end of evangelion all over again

Ah yes but his user name is Densha Otoko because of his first post. That makes it legit. It's his name.
 
Julien Donkey-Boy. A definite talent that Harmony chap is. He sees and presents things in a way no one else does.

What a load of trying-to-be-arthouse-but-actually-being-bad-porn crap. :mad:

i thought it was really bad too:
not arthouse.
not porn.
not a good music film.
not going to get that hour of my life back!
:(
 
I Spit On Your Grave - maybe I'm desensitized, but this didn't freak me out that much - the castration scene made me flinch a bit, but it was the bloke's screams and pleas for help that did it for me, rather than the scene itself.
Tis a very strange film - the plot is so simple - woman gets raped and humiliated by four men and she proceeds to get 'even'.
This film is not the feminist tract I've been led to believe really, though there is a speech in which one of the rapists makes typical chauvinist justifications for his actions. In reality, this film is just exploitative trash, just like Zombie Flesh Eaters, which I also watched. Not an exceptional film either, lots of gratuitous violence and tit shots. Notable only for infamous eye piercing scene and surely the best underwater zombie/shark encounter ever filmed.

I also watched the first three Nightmare On Elm Street movies - funny rather than scary - I preferred the silly ones (2 and 3) to the allegedly better, scarier one (ie the original).

Also, Batman Begins - much better than I expected, even though almost the entire film is exposition rather than action. Which is probably why I liked it.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory too - I loved it - Depp is hilarious, as is Deep Roy as the Oompa Loompas and the film looks amazing. I'm sure there's a sly dig at shit eating Germans in there, though maybe that's just me. And I loved the squirrels. Burton gets Dahl just right in my opinion - sentimental without being too cloying as the first film was.

Yeah, piece of shit.

Oh, I forgot:
I also watched The Aviator and was pleasantly surprised by Di Caprio's performance - he even looks like Hughes. Blanchett is pretty good as Hepburn but a trifle mannered (as was Hepburn to give her her dues).
It looked fantastic too, with ridiculously oversaturated colour and sumptuous production design.
