Genshiken.

Alright I finally finished Genshiken. Well…I don’t know what to make of it, but I guess I’ll break it down so I can give you guys a somewhat good of an idea of what its about.

Well…Really its about people being Otaku and the struggle of a girl who isn’t, but wants to go out with an Otaku…actually…truthfully I have no idea what the story was really about nor did I even get who the main character was.

I actually found it funny the Sasahara has the same seiyuu as Asou-kun from School Rumble *sounds like the same seiyuu anyways* and Kohsaka’s Sol-Badguy skills are extremely impressive. Ohno’s cosplay obsession is also pretty funny, although I did not really like her cute-ness that much. Other than that all the other characters were funny and weird at the same time.

The ending ended with Sasahara being the Chairman of Genshiken and he wanted to do a Male-Oriented doujinshi for Kajian *spelling?* which is actually a real anime *that is probably done by the same people* so yeah…just found it funny.

Other stuff to say…well I don’t know…the ending really lacked a LOT but it was still a good quick watch. Only 12 episodes. Man I really want to go out and buy some doujinshi or something in the likes. I wish I had wallscrollers. I wish I had amazing Guilty Gear skills. *sigh* Well it was a fun quick watch as I said so it’s not bad for what it is, but could be a little better. Kind of amazing how an idea like this could be made into an anime. Oh well

Genshiken. *First Impression*

Alright now since I was going crazy over the fact that I finally got my Fliptop/swapmagic combo on my PS2 to work I didn’t have enough time to get into Genshiken that much…also with the fact that I’m fixing a friend’s computer and thus my anime dosage has been kind of cut down to almost 3 episodes PER WEEK!

Anyways on with the actual posting. Genshiken…hmm A nice little anime that talks about well…otaku. Now how true it is to actual otaku I have no idea. I did realize a few things that were pretty true.

They explain that Otaku do have the 2-D complex, but does not mean they don’t like real women. The only reason why Otaku can’t get girls is because of their interest…but more importantly Otaku-ism… is looked down upon I guess.

The anime itself is pretty fun and seems pretty “realistic” to characters in real life. Then again…they make it seem like Otaku are ultra-perverts who like ero-games, doujinshi, and the likes…not saying I like those kinds of things even though I love anime products >.> *coughs*

Anyways I really like it so far since the characters seem “realistic” enough to connect to their craziness and it also has a pretty good humor to laugh at how Otaku are, but its probably not true. A lot of stereotypes are laid out, but also it clears up some stereotypes. Then again…who knows…some people’s 2-D complex is greater than their need for a real women.
