It’ s not typical for me to just use this blog for summarizing things, but I know that not a lot of people have access to it. I haven’t really had time to translate, so a brief summary will have to suffice.
The Drama CD is episode 8.5 of Genshiken 2, so fit it in there.
Sasahara [...]

Sasahara and the others have enjoyed their time in Genshiken, but whilst it seems unlikely that they will give up the otaku life any time soon, graduation is approaching, and the real world beckons. Can they manage to juggle the demands of studying and finding job with the usual round of cosplay, visits to Comiket [...]

So I will be very honest with you… I don’t read manga. (*huh!?*gasp*) I never got into it and probably never will. It just doesn’t interest me that much. So how did I get into anime? Both as a combination of whatever available anime series in the 90s (Tenchi Muyo promo on laserdisc… ah laserdisc…) [...]

I REALLY liked this episode because it was something that totally wasn’t in the manga, and sure Sasahara was acting out of character, I thought, I still liked where they went with this. Though, it started off real strong but just kinda died halfway through the episode.
It was interesting seeing Sasahara act in the way [...]

Dear Genshiken 2,
I’m sorry I said all those mean things to you. I thought you lost your way, but after watching episode 2 and 3, I realized that you were just holding back your true powers in order to give us a pleasant surprise. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive [...]

Genshiken 2 is really slow paced, and too serious. It’s lacking far too much in the humor department. I wouldn’t really know how fast or slow the pace is, as I stopped reading the manga at where the OVAs ended so that I could fully enjoy the series. After all, the previous season and the [...]

10/16/2007 11:27 PM UTCAnime News: Genshiken 2 OP unveiled, Urushihara Satoshi stars >>
The second episode of Genshiken 2 aired last night, and unlike the first episode it features the OP animation and opening theme song in all its glory - frankly it's nothing like what I was expecting, and it blew me away. The entire OP sequence is directed by veteran animator and eromangaka Urushihara Satoshi, and unlike the original Manzo OP which centers around the club enjoying their daily activities this one soars into the realm of otaku myth, transposing characters into the roles of giant robot heroes. The OP theme song itself does the job fine, but what really knocks you off your feet is the animation. I can't believe they had the budget to do this. It's not up on YouTube yet, but Nico has it here (registration required); screencap of the Urushihara credit below:

Odds are, you already know what you need to know: it’s Genshiken, an anime about a college anime otaku club. There’s a first season (12 episodes IIRC), an OVA (3 episodes), and [...]

Genshiken is a manga series about an anime/manga/game club in a Japanese university. The title is short for gendai shikaku bunka kenkyuukai, or “The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”. Basically it’s an excuse for a bunch of otaku and fujoshi to have a room to hang out after school and make funny [...]
