[Asianmedia] Fwd: Densha Otoko; Masculinity and Otakudom in the 21st Century Japan Lecture

[Tristan]

If people are interested, I have the TV episodes of Densha Otoko from  
Asian Media's first year! I may have given them to the sigmers after  
deathfest, but if not I can burn them onto dvds and send them up via  
post.
