Zatoichi is a 19th century blind nomad who makes his living as a gambler and masseur. However, behind this humble facade, he is a master swordsman gifted with a lightning-fast draw and breathtaking precision. While wandering, Zatoichi discovers a remote mountain village at the mercy of Ginzo, a ruthless gang-leader. Ginzo disposes of anyone who gets in his way, especially after hiring the mighty samurai ronin, Hattori, as a bodyguard. After a raucous night of gambling in town, Zatoichi encoutners a pair of geishas--as dangerous as they are beautiful--who've come to avenge their parents' murder. As the paths of these and other colorful characters intertwine, Ginzo's henchmen are soon after Zatoichi. With his legendary cane sword at his side, the stage is set for a riveting showdown.

"How should I ask her out?" - When a computer engineer otaku (the Japanese term for "geek") who has never had a girlfriend in his life saves a pretty young woman on a commuter train from a lecherous molester, he seeks out his pals on a popular Internet BBS website for some dating advice, using his pseudonym Train_Man (Densha Otoko).
Deeply interested in Train_Man's first love, his BBS friends eagerly supply him with tips. Encouraged by their support, Train_Man undergoes a total makeover for his first-ever-date with "Hermess." Little does he know that he is about to ignite an Internet phenomenon...
Based on true events that took place on a popular bulletin board website in Japan called "2ch," Train Man: Densha Otoko is a unique romantic comedy which will appeal to anyone who has experienced the thrill and rush of love - and to the pure, innocent geek in all of us.
