Densha Otoko, the Japanese TV drama based on the story of a Japanese Otaku who saves an upper class girl from a drunk in the train and later falls in love with her, changed Japan and the Otaku image forever. Suddenly Otaku weren’t just awkward and geeky but also kind, caring and innocent lovers; some women actually started seeking Otaku for relationships! But really, how many Otaku would go out of their way to save a girl in distress from a drunk?
Japanese TV show Trivia Seed asked just that and set out to test 100 Otaku in a set-up situation. Watch as waves of Otaku face this challenge, including a crossplaying one, the results will surprise you!
Notice how the cool looking guy runs like a girl and the crossplayer is actually quite tough!
Near 70% of Otaku would risk their necks (and all the goodies they are carrying) to save a girl in distress. How about that? Seems bravery isn’t lost among our kind, what would you do in a situation like this?
