what do you think of genshiken?its still one of my favorite anime, nothing seems to display the old school otaku lifestyle as accurately as it does.i feel like its a must watch for any self identifying otaku.
>>3656>what do you think of genshiken?boring as hell
One of my all time favorite too! Teh manga is great too! While I don't like all teh fujoshi all that much in teh later chapers, i still had a great time. Teh anime was a good adaptation, but even so, teh manga more chapthers that was never adapted. Haev you read it?You should watch Denki-gai, and maybe even Yurumates.
One of my favorite manga to reread every so often. Very funny but also a pretty realistic portrayal of the dynamics of a small club like that.>>3658 I actually kind of enjoy the whole second fujoshi arc. Despite all of the BL talk, putting Madarame into a harem and making him choose between the girls really brought out the best in his character and made for a pretty interesting story.
I enjoyed it, also besides fujoshi focus in later seasons as well I'm not sure if that's what majority of old otaku was like but I don't really care. Probably both social and antisocial ones existed>Haev you read it?Not yet if I evar read
>>3656i only watched teh first one and Saki was so infuriating. i just wanted to watch an anime about otaku, why do i have to look at a militant normalfag for half teh screentime??? ヽ(`Д´)ノand teh fact that it's pg-13 doesn't help much. i can't help but compare it to teh nhk (please forgive me for this) and when compared, genshiken animu feels very diluted. does manga get any bettar?
have every first series (original run too) as well as the fan book with the trivia and extra manga.genshiken was formative to my otaku spirit, the second series didnt jive with me as much for some reason. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
>i just wanted to watch an anime about otaku, why do i have to look at a militant normalfag for half teh screentime???To maek u jealous of the faget who secks her while watching airing anime, also NTR'd if you were able to self insert as Madarame (which turns out to be for the best though!)
it was getting kind of depressing toward the end when some of the characters couldnt do club stuff because of work, and eventually stopped coming. stuff like that makes me so sad (´ー｀ )
>>3668Yeah, it was really depressing to see that non other than Madarame holding onto teh otaku-spirit. I resonate with him!
>Yeah, it was really depressing to see that non other than Madarame holding onto teh otaku-spirit.I dunno, I remembrar a scene where he also lost his enthusiasm about komike. It's a minor character, but I sympathize with the first president
I have very fond memories of the cytube stream. Great opening as well, in fact i'm going to listen to it right naw!
It's my favorite stream! :3
it's one of my favorites. such a cozy vibe, though a bit bittersweet at times. i have yet to watch genshiken 2 (and i think there was an OVA or a movie?) because i'm scared that it won't be as good and i'll just be disappointed (that's the kind of vibe i got from the little bit i've seen of it). gotta steel myself for that kind of disappointment.
>>3913genshiken 2 isnt as good but it isnt awful, the manga for that section is better tho. just read the manga.
genshiken is awesome, and it kinda mirrors my university life, but i still haven't found my sue chan or ogiue....
>>3746yeah it was my favorite stream, too. those guys were a group of otaku who could get together and just be themselves while enjoying what they love, so watching it together as a group of otaku was just perfect.and also I was the one who thought that guy looked like Gaben and opened teh floodgates lol
ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!
this was like the first or second stream I attended, so it was special to me
and the special thread afterwards...
the first season is one of my favorite anime ever, the newer characters kinda ruined the show
In my early years, Genshiken and Otaku no Video inspired me to mass binge anie like I really had someone to talk to about it. But Nidaime sux hard
