I've no clue why they licensed Genshiken considering it seems to have almost no market appeal and it's filled with cultural references, but at least I get to read it translated. Hopefully with no Slipknot references.
The product placements are a nice touch, hope to see more of them. The Haruka kit blew me away :O

In the manga they seemed to make up names because they couldn't use the actual name. The end of each chapter had a character and then said what their favorite anime/fighting game/manga were and they were usually take-offs of actual names like instead of Vampire Hunter D it might be Vampire Seeker E or something
It would really be cool if the anime gets permission for more and you see real animes/manga stuff pop up like this.
