Densha Otoko

ADDICTION:
Yes, I have submitted to the Densha Otoko ^[1] madness. Over the past two nights, I have managed to catch up on the eight episodes I missed during July and August. Thank God, my other half was considerate enough to TiVo – for lack of a better word – each episode.

THE APPEAL:
Any show that uses the Numa Numa ^[2] song, has got to be staffed by geeks. As I told Joi, a few weeks back, “The writing staff for Densha Otoko truly capture the nature of social interaction between net users.” Though the focus is on one BBS, it could easily have been a blog or a podcast.

Oh, and, Itoh Misaki ^[3] is ‘my boom’ ^[4] right now.

“my boom” – Google Search ^[5]
