Densha Otoko (The Train Man)

Well, it's technically not anime, but it's about Otaku.
Densha Otoko the TV series has recently started to become available on fansub.

For those who don't know, this is based on (apparently) a real-life story. A hopeless otaku one day sees a pretty girl being harassed on a train, and decides to stand up for her. Later, he writes about his experiences on a BBS, and then recieves a thank-you gift of expensive cups from the girl. He then resolves to change himself for her.

There was also a hugely succesful live action film, and there are about 4 mangas currently running based on the same story.
Well worth checking out for any anime fan, although the main character can come across as overly pathetic.

I checked this out a while ago and tis trully fantastic. There are now two groups subbing it (shinsen and the original walle) which is good because I am still yet to see episode 5 on walle (and its been a good few weeks).

I think I watched 2 episodes in the end and then gave up.
