FW: Japanese train films

[Rea Amit]

Hello,

I never properly introduced myself, so please allow me to take a ride
on this train otaku wave to do so.

I believe we could easily crown Anno Hideaki as the cinematic otaku
king. If it wasn`t motioned earlier, in his film "Love & Pop" appears
a guy who is a train models otaku and many parts in his Shiki-Jitsu
take place around the rails too.

In this context we should  also name director Jissoji Akio. Even
thought I can`t really recall at the moment any impotent train related
sequences in his films, he was a densha-otaku and wrote even one book
about it; ??????.

Good luck with this fascinating thread.
