Yamada
The Densha Otoko totally dragged the series down.. I know it's not meant to be serious or over-realistic, but his acting was a total turn off for me.. Hard to watch that lame face.. >:@ ...
shareYes, the actor who played Yamada ruined the series. What a whiny crybaby! Even 5-year olds don't cry as often as he did.
shareWell we are all entitled to our own opinion but I think that it was kind of the point for him to act totally pathetic, it's not much of a break through when he confesses at the end of the series if he has the normal capacity for human interaction like any normal red blooded male. Normal people are expected to rejoice all the more for him and share in his triumph when he finally does succeed in conveying his feelings. Anyway I think he did a really good job as do most of the people who actually watched the series and enjoyed all that it was and represented. Otsu
shareI did expect an otaku geek to behave all pathetic and socially inept (ie. stammering, saying the wrong things, etc...) but his constant crying seemed a bit far-fetched. The guy was breaking out in tears every five minutes; not even anime characters do that. One would expect the guy to gain more confidence with every successful date but he remained the same bumbling, pitiful creature throughout--like his demeanor was encoded in his genes instead of a byproduct of his dearth of social experiences. During the protracted, painful-to-watch confession scene, I actually screamed at the television screen, "Spit it out you poor excuse of a wretched human being!!" lol. BTW, I've read the original 2chan thread in its entirety and the real Densha was nothing like this drama version. If I were the real Densha, I would've been insulted by this abortion of a portrayal.

Ugh, that scene was disgusting. Actually, I was pleased when the brother of Hermes hit that dude in the face.
