Has anyone actually seen this?

I picked up a copy of Animerica last night at Borders and it had a big spotlight on this film...which has also apparently spawned a game, TV show, and manga.

It sounded kind of cheesy at first; I mean really, the tag-line was, "Based on a real-life online thread!" which is not exactly great press. But the more I read about it, the better it sounded. So, any thoughts or comments?

Isn't that about the guy who started an online relationship with someone?

Sort of. This geeky guy saves a girl on a train from this drunken guy, and she asks him for his contact info. He doesn't know how to handle her, so he goes to an online forum and asks advice about her; well, apparently a relationship starts so he keeps asking them for more and more info.
