I'm glad to see somebody's picked this up, I was a little worried that nobody would. My most anticipated series of the year, so it's important. ^_^;
Anyway, I don't see why people say the OVAs sucked compared to the first series, considering they were still canon material, and bridged the gap for this second season, which should hopefully conclude the manga. Nothing to complain about there, I think. |

Actually, I'm really wondering about that, since I haven't been following the latest Genshiken developments save for the manga. Will the second season skip (or maybe just skim through) whatever the OVA episodes already tackled? |

Anyway, just to chip in, I can't see why people bitch about the OVAs that much. While I can't recall exactly what they were about again (I watch to much stuff to remember everything), I can not remember them being bad in story or animation quality. |

The OVA series was just fine it wasn't till the 2nd half of the third OVA episode where you can see the animation taking a dive not sure what happen there.
Phew and here I thought I was the only one heh. Arms Studio is showing their previous experience with hentai very well and those doujin covers were nice too. |

Just like the first series, the OVA's were perfect adaptations from the manga --- and that goes for the first episode of the second season. So i don't see anything wrong with the OVA's.

Gotta go rewatch the first series and the ova but I skimmed through the episode and it doesn't look bad. I'm just a disappointed that they didn't used biidama ending sequence. I love it and I seriously thought they would carry the "tradition" over since they used it in the ova

I don't have the first season around anymore to compare, but yes, you're right: when comparing the character designs from the OVA to the first ep of the second season, the second season looks way better.
OVA: Season 2: I should note that OVAs usually have more a bigger than TV series, so they should look better. Then again, these OVAs were extra's on the Kujibiki Unbalance DVDs iirc, so they might have to have made them with an "extras" budget, which I can imagine is not big. |

Wow like GHD said I kinda did a double take when I saw who had picked this one up...Was convinced it was some kindof joke or something.
But it was a pretty quality episode and im glad to see the genshi crew back in action. As for the OVA...yea the animation quality and designs was so far removed from the series it kinda made more then alittle bit of a eyesore...But the story was fine so meh evens out I guess.

Yeah, mixed feelings on the character designs post series-1. It's closer to the manga style, I suppose, but I preferred the more "anime-tic" (anippoi?) style of the first series. Still, very glad to have this back and I hope they get to a certain pairing from the manga soon...

S1: I thought that Genshiken was good considering it was an anime about otaku. I didn't think much about it until I started watching the OAV's; aside from the animation changes I actually liked the different "feel" to the story. I think someone has said it before but it changed from a satire about otaku to a slice-of-life story that dealt with the relationships of the characters. I enjoyed the OAV's and I look forward to watching the 2nd TV series.

As for a certain pairing (assuming it's the one I think it is), I'm pretty sure they'll get to it eventually - the anime has been a pretty faithful adaptation of the manga so far. I don't see any reason why they would change now. I imagine the 2nd series of Genshiken will see the manga through to the end. |
