Densha makes me wish the Internet wasn't such a jerk.

If you go and read the original thread there were a lot of flamers, so buck up! Japanese people aren't somehow nicer. Remember it's a "hollywood" depiction of the story.

I was amazed to see how close the drama portrayal seemed to what was going on in the actual thread.

well, the drama portrayal essentually used the actual thread as a baseline script, so that makes perfect sense really.

i thought i was a good guy, then i realized i was an asshole. i lose either way, so it doesn't matter anyway.
AHAHHAH. I found out about BBS's like this from watching Densha Otoko. I wonder if 2chan has people more like those in the show. Shame my computer and I don't know Japanese.

Yeah, I found this site because of Densha too, but I thought better than to come here thinking that it would be just like the show. Even though it's based on a true story, it's dramatized.
Besides, "based on a true story" doesn't really mean much these days (did it ever?).
Also, Densha Otoko is more of a cultural phenomenon that doesn't translate that well to Western culture. I mean, from the get-go, the whole train thing wouldn't have happened. What Densha did would be considered standard here since a lot of people in Western society have short tempers and very little tolerance for taking crap from anybody.
I know if that drunk guy was in a subway in a big city (like NYC), he would have had his ass kicked... probably by the women on board too.

But this whole style of BBS has yet to catch on with people outside of Japan. I guess forums would be the Western equivalent.

Yeah it's a lot more simple and takes the pain out of registration, logging in, and going to a separate screen to reply. Still, I don't this sort of thing will catch on any time soon.

As I see it, right now the 4chan demographic is mostly anime fans, and that's only because it's based on a Japanese concept. All it really needs is activity from the non-anime community for it to start catching on in the 'real' world.
More general discussion (as opposed to anime/manga/japanese culture themed discussion) is likely to keep more 'real' people in here. After that, it'll grow naturally via word of mouth.
In theory.

4chan demographic will probably always be mostly anime fans, cept for the occasional user who only visits /b/. Yes, we must attract more users onto world4ch!

How do you determine who's "real"? If you mean "real" as in "has a social life" then it's not interesting.

I think by "real" >>24 meant people who are not into anime using boards like this which are predominantly used by the anime community.

'real' people are the people in the 'real' world my parents keep telling me about. apparantly, they're some sort of magical fairy people who play 'sports' all day in the 'sun' and have 'girlfriends' and 'lives' outside of anime and computers.
Go to 4-ch.net for caring, sharing and hugs. Come to 4chan.org to talk about the Jews and Niggers in control of the secret world government.

American Densha Otoko: He asks for help. He gets called fag, newfag, wikifag, nigger and fuck off jew. All the 4chans they show are busy fapping off to /s/. Densha doesn't get help, but realizes compared to these sods he's not a loser at all. Gets confidence, asks Hermes, lives happily ever after. Fifty years later the last 4channer dies fapping at his keyboard. Discuss.

I HATE women. I never had a girlfriend and never will. The only times I got laid was when I paid a woman or promised her something. I'm never going to hold hands with a chick, kiss a girl intimately because we're in love, or any of the other shit that human beings were made to do. I guess that I'm suppose to be happy masturbating every fucking night. I'm a man with sexual urges and can't get with a female. I'm suppose to be alright with that? THERE IS A FUCKING CURSE ON MY LIFE. A CURSE THAT PREVENTS ANY FEMALE FROM LIKING ME. Oh I forgot, I do get interest from fat chicks and I'm not attracted to fat chicks.
I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm going to become the biggest asshole in the world. I tried the whole being considerate thing and it got me nowhere. If people can't handle my newfound harshness, then bring it on. BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
I get happy when I hear about some college slut getting murdered or injured in a hit and run. "oh she was a beautiful and talented girl, how could this happen." I don't know but I'm glad it did.
