What is this Genshiken? Similar?

Where NHK is kind of about the dark side of the passion, Genshiken is far more about like... I don't know. Nerd cameraderie I guess you'd call it. It's really enjoyable.

Like, I think Madarame is a huge loser, but at the same time he's the kind of loser you can cheer for because he has elements of his character that you see yourself in.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 15

Well...

This guy is totally wrong for Miki. I mean, look at that mustache! Ick.

The last episode was a really hard act to follow. This episode seems to sketch a pattern for the future of the arc, and it does so well. A lot of the Black Rose stuff lacked the intensity of the last go-round, due as much to familiarity as anything else, but there was a particular piano room encounter that was pretty creepy.

I think it's worth noting that this episode offers a very different take on

Spoiler

Miki and Kozue's relationship, to the point that I was worried I missed something again from earlier. I don't think I did, but it was odd seeing Miki's platonic ideal of their childhood be subverted by Kozue into some weird possessive thing. Can't she just be like a female Touga, and not have her dating habits tied to her feelings about her sibling?

Or does this mean that Touga sleeps around to keep Nanami's attention on him? God, I hope not.

A blender? Crossed straws? Two butterflies? It probably doesn't mean anything.

Either way, I suspect this sort of subversion will become a pattern going forward through this arc. Whereas each character seeks the Rose Bride individually due to their noble take on how they want the world to be, the Black Rose motivates its Duelists through their most selfish and taboo desires.

Weird thing that's hard not to notice after this episode: There are three older brother-younger sister relationships in this show,

Spoiler

and every single one of them is sexually charged on some level.

Why?

In contrast, there are 0 younger brothers with older sisters.

I wonder why

Touga's voice was added to Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku

Episode preview looks incredibly stupid. I can't wait to stab my eyes out with a spoon watch it.

The best part was that it was random chance. Envelope is just destined to make people suffer.

What is this Genshiken? Similar?



Satou has an apartment and was talking about paying bills and such, how is he managing to survive like that, and be well enough to get at least those posters and magazine? I guess Im kind of shocked its sort of real.

Genshiken is a show about a nerdy school anime club and its members. Its a lot more up-front about anime culture and the characters don't try to hide it and aren't ashamed to admit it at all.

I think Envelope deserves a tag. Something like:

That actually sounds interesting and potential to be somewhat funny. Guess I'll add it to my backlog.

Wait what? There's an Hells Angels anime? I love the manga and how absurd it is.

Yup. The movie was produced in 2008 by Madhouse, with some pretty talented staff. It never got a proper distributor, and was only screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2009. NTV only managed to get all the rights sorted out this year, and they released it via PPV on their On-Demand site, and the blu-ray is finally coming out in Aug.

Ginga e Kickoff - 08

What a beautiful use of a montage before the kickoff, and the animating of the football took one huge megaton drop in some places but that was understandable in this case.

There are ways, you shall see. It's not all that hard actually.

Genshiken is a show about a nerdy school anime club and its members. Its a lot more up-front about anime culture and the characters don't try to hide it and aren't ashamed to admit it at all.

I never did get around to buying the second season of Genshiken. One of those things I planned to watched but didn't when I shifted my spending elsewhere.

Apart from the braces, I think Tanaka was the better one. I think youre the first fan of Konoha Ive encountered in the small zetman anime fanbase.

Nothing about that trailer gives me any sort of clue as to what this is supposed to be about. Looks good, tho.

[NeonZ]

I'm glad that Arcade Gamer Fubuki is getting some exposure. Its a fun show. Not a great one but undeniably fun. The art style is SUPER-cute.

I really want to know why Sunrise didn't go with something closer to Yoshizaki Mine's art style for their Keroro Gunso adaptation, like Seven of Seven and Arcade Gamer Fubuki did... If they decide to animate more Keroro eventually, rather than just rerunning the show again, I hope they go with something closer to the art style of those shows.

 

[Envelope]

Another victim of Envelaap?

But I didn't do anything!

The best part was that it was random chance. Envelope is just destined to make people suffer.

All I did was tell him it had a loli.

My first foray into the world of Queen's Blade and it shall be my last. I hope you're happy my dear Envelope. I will truly be amazed if there is somehow another show this season that is worse than this dredge. It is somehow even worse than AKB 0048.

Some people say that the first 2 seasons are better though! You can't write off a whole series after just 3 episodes!

 

[Solune]

I think its like the OST for the first Donkey Kong Country; I remember Fear Factory and Aquatic Ambience so I just guess that all of the music is of that quality, but it isn't.

Also I prefer OP2 to OP1.

No mention of Gang-plank Galleon?? I see that makes sense that if a few tracks stand out to you'll be more inclined to say it has a good soundtrack as opposed to a mediocre one. I wasn't really calling you out on saying F/Z had an impressive soundtrack though in case that's how it felt. Just voicing my own opinion since the soundtrack didn't leave any type of distinction on me during S1.

Nana Seven of Seven is an underrated little show too.
I hope some animuGaffers give that one a chance.
