i'm going to break the trend and be outwardly positive about this drama
because that's just the kind of drama reviewer i am =D
because if i can write a positive reivew about Cupid Na Itazura(which was quite good if you ask me =D, and feel free to read my reivew on it :D), i can most certainly can write one about Densha Otoko.

ok so the story could have been so much awesomer, so the actors/actresses weren't that great at their parts and could have made this a bit more believeable. i have one thing i must say.

if i were to make a list of my top favorite dramas (i actually made a video =D), densha otoko would be up there.

now aznanimedude you're crazy!!!! maybe i am, but that doesn't change this one fact. irregardless of how farfetch'd the plot may be, (i mean, an otaku and a very pretty lady together?), one line stands out above all the rest in this drama. As he sits there, trying to give her a thank you call, he realizes the enormity of his situation, and shaking out of nervousness and shame, cannot dial. In despair he crys out, "i want to change". And most certainly change he did. By being given a goal, he works hard at it. There is something to be said about that kind of determination and drive.

which is why while it will not garner the most immediate praise from people, i still find this to be an incredible drama.

that, and the fact that the music is amazing, the songs were truly touching, well played, well placed, good stuff
