I didn't watch it, but if it's as good as everyone says it is, it's best to just leave it alone ^-^ Leave people with good memories, not bad ones about "sequels" or "US adaptations" and whatnot @.@

Leave the bloody thing alone, we don't need hollywood coming and in screwing things up like they always do.

I also disagree with someone who said that if remade it has to take place in New York because of its subway system, in realtiy most of the show wasn't even near a train. There are other limitations that would have to be overcome, like akihabara like place etc, and I really doubt they'll remake it.

Just leave it alone.

And even if they DO try to remake it, there's always a guarantee that it might not get made and spend eons in development hell like the My Sassy Girl remake. (Actually, I heard that some J-drama producer is trying to make a J-drama remake of that movie.) For that matter, if a remake comes out, it doesn't mean that the original is just going to disappear either. Like I said earlier in this thread, rather than remake the movie, doinkies thinks that someone will try to license one of the manga adaptations or perhaps all four of them will come out in the U.S. Someone may even try to license the novel, because licensing novels is getting more and more popular. doinkies would be a happy doink if someone brought over one of the manga (preferably Hara Hidenori's version).

Or maybe someone will make an anime version of this story, like with Gokusen, and the anime will get licensed, in fact, maybe someone like Media Blasters that releases live-action stuff as well as anime will try to license the movie or even the J-drama. The J-drama version will probably be licensed when donkeys fly, though...doinkies imagines that the music rights are really hard to get and I wouldn't want them to replace all the Western music with a doinky instrumental like Fujisankei did. The movie might be easier to get...

Actually, if they made a US remake, it should be in the Bay Area. Instead of having Akihabara and Akiba-kei people, they could feature the lives of computer geeks who visit Frys Electronics/Central Computers/User Side/SF J-Town. The computer geek could come to the rescue to some up-town girl who goes to Stanford, maybe on the CalTrain. He could ask for advice on one of those tech forum boards, like Sharky Extreme, or Anand's forum or Head-fi.

Hollywood just screws everything up.
I'd say leave the drama as it is! Smile

Come to think of it, the Hara Hidenori manga had Densha be more of a computer otaku than an anime otaku. Everything else Densha has him as an anime otaku, though. doinkies doesn't think the real Densha ever said what kind of an otaku he was, but since he's an Akiba-kei otaku, the producers of the J-drama/movie/the three other manga immediately thought Akiba-kei=anime otaku. pinch

As for second season, didn't anyone else think the broken heart club at the end could make a funny spinoff second season?

I can't say I've heard of many spin offs on Japanese TV though, Japan likes to remake a tweaked story and ignore it's similar to the original, or just do a full on remake/sequel season.

I for one would love another series with the same pacing and humor as the Densha Otoko drama... even if they changed the focus. I doubt it'd be as popular, everyone I talk to in Japan at least knows of the drama, a lot of them have seen some or all of it...

But a second season focusing on densha and hermes would ruin it, please no!
