Genshiken (Manga)	comment	Genshiken, short for Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyuukai (or The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture), is the story of the members of this ostensibly-useless club at Shiiou University. Formed in the past as a sort of bridge between the manga, anime, and gaming clubs, most members of those three are at best indifferent to the continued existence of the Genshiken. The new extracurricular activities board has decided to close all clubs who don't hold any meaningful activities, the Genshiken is among them, and it's up to its members to do something that prevents the club from getting closed.From obsessing over a favorite anime to buying and reading doujinshi, from playing one's first Dating Sim to attending a Fan Convention (the anime's "ComiFes" is a direct play on the real-life convention Comiket, which is held twice yearly), and many other things along the way, Genshiken puts the otaku culture under the microscope for all to see.Comparisons to Otaku no Video are nearly inevitable, though Genshiken is much more down-to-earth. (No creating a giant one-off Macross that can actually take off, for instance.)Genshiken also had a companion anime (in the manga, it was a companion manga, naturally) called Kujibiki♡Unbalance. It was the series that the members of the Genshiken obsessed over, and was the Bonus Episode for the series' disc release (one episode per disc). It turned out to be so popular that it was produced as a separate series in its own right.The manga first ran from 2002 to 2006 in the seinen magazine Afternoon, with an anime adaptation airing in 2004. A three episode OVA series was released with the Kujibiki♡Unbalance DVDs, much the same way as the three OVAs of the first Kujiun were released with Genshiken Season 1. A second full season of the anime was released in the fall of 2007 and covers some of the remaining plot from the manga, while simultaneously introducing original material, though this meant the entire manga couldn't be animated within the season.In 2009, the manga started back up again as Genshiken Nidaime (Genshiken: Second Season in the North American release) starting with Chapter 56, which was released as a bonus together with the Japanese Genshiken 2 box-set that covered the start of a new Genshiken headed by Ogiue and continuing in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine. Originally Nidaime was intended as a limited-run continuation that was only to last a volume or two, but it was picked up for regular serialization until its conclusion in 2016, with the volume collections published as volume 10+ of the original series, although localization overseas pegs it as a new series.An anime aired in July 2013, adapting the Nidaime material. The material from volumes 8 and 9 of the manga remains unadapted.There is also a novel entitled Genshiken: Return of the Otaku.Has a Spiritual Successor/sequel in Spotted Flower.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_130436b9	comment	Annoying Younger Sibling: Keiko Sasahara to her brother Kanji. In contrast to Kanji the closet-otaku, she's a fashion-obsessed gyaru with an ever-changing list of boyfriends. She is immediately attracted to prettyboy Kousaka, spending the rest of the series trying to steal him away from Kasukabe, and joining the Genshiken in the process. She can be seen as a subversion of the idealized "little sister" trope among Japanese otaku, as Keiko is anything but (and Kanji is quick to emphasize this).

Genshiken (Manga) / int_32da91b8	type	Out of Focus
Genshiken (Manga) / int_32da91b8	comment	Out of Focus: Since Nidaime, some of the former Genshiken members have pretty much dropped off the radar, save occasional appearances. Not too surprising for Kasukabe and Kousaka, a bit more for Sasahara since he's Ogiue's boyfriend. Actually, even Ogiue becomes more and more absent in the last chapters, with the story being increasingly focused on Hato. This was explicitly the point of Nidaime, to show what was happening with the new Genshiken membership. However, a drifting focus has been built into the series from the start as leadership has changed hands and the group has added and lost members. Kasukabe and her struggles with understanding otaku took much of the early focus; it drifted more onto Sasahara for his tenure as president; Ogiue grabbed the focus once her backstory started to come out, and now it's drifted towards the new group with Hato. Meanwhile, the other characters have moved in and out, retaining a secondary focus and sometimes losing it. It's remarkably alike to the feeling of watching a real college club evolve over several years as membership changes and the social circles rebalance.

In the last OVA, initially-resistant Yaoi Fangirl Ogiue is talked into cosplaying in private. In Second Season, Angela isn't devoted to cosplay but clearly has none of the Japanese cast's problems with humoring her old friend Ohno, and Sue manages to do this significantly more than Ohno.

The club agrees the manga did better by leaving it unexplained.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_4540f3d3	comment	A one-off form of it, when the series got Uncancelled after about four and a half years, but events in-series had only moved on a couple months at most. Suddenly characters move from making references to series current to early and mid 2006, to referencing series that wouldn't even have existed yet if a strict chronology was followed on with the continuation. Angela's references to the Bakemonogatari series get only the narrowest pass if she's quoting the original light novel which came out within the rough time of Nidaime thus far, but the Puella Magi Madoka Magica cosplay doesn't fit anywhere.

Madarame quips that it's sort of obscure and only really caters to otaku. Ogiue decided to submit her debut work in Monthly Afternoon, the same publication Genshiken is on. This is taken further when the club is helping Ogiue finish one of her doujin drafts on time, Yoshitake holds up one of the issues the manga was in for inspiration. It turns out to be the issue of Afternoon with Genshiken on the cover.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_8e1aef2d	comment	Reference Overdosed: Not surprisingly, given the focus on otaku, they're quite fond of dropping quotes or references to various series in a heartbeat. The ability to do this is even prized - Sasahara quotes Amuro's response to the original Bright Slap after Kasukabe nearly knocks the wind out of him in the first chapter, and the rest of Genshiken applauds that he had the presence of mind to do it despite the pain. The appearance of Sue, who Speaks in Shout-Outs, later in the manga only puts this in overdrive.

Hato's upperclassman, when she finally appears in the flesh, has very noticeable sacks under her eyes and generally looks a lot thinner and "imperfect" than she always does in his imagination. He is very startled when his "inner female" (that looks like an idealized version of the girl) suddenly transforms for a moment into the "real" one, giving her a far more sinister look.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_c4a5ca4	comment	Anime Accent Absence: While not a foreign character, Ohno spent about 8 years living in the US prior to the start of the series, and shouldn't be nearly as fluent in Japanese as she's portrayed. On the other hand, her English is grammatically correct, but her accent (in the anime) is absurdly thick for having spent her formative years abroad. This could be handwaved with the explanation that though Ohno lived in the US from age 10 to 18, it was because she had moved with her parents, so presumably they spoke Japanese at home. And Angela mentions that Ohno used to spend quite a bit of time with other Japanese people in the vicinity. Or you could just say it's due to the limits of the actress playing her. Angela's voice actress tried to avert this as much as she can, as she voices her while attempting to affect an American accent. Instead, she had some weird Ruritanian thing going on. In Second Season, Ohno's accent at least isn't nearly as strong, and Angela's replacement VA also attempts an American accent, but while she has the pronunciation down for the most part, she still ultimately sounds like a Japanese woman trying to sound American.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: So, so many, often under fake names, good thing the fansubs offer footnotes about the fake names in the manga and anime. Sadly, the official translations of both, do not. In the very first episode, Tanaka's ringtone is shown to be an 8-bit version of 'Hurry' from the Final Fantasy X OST. Code Geass, is "Code Bleed" or something. Lucky Star can be briefly seen as a very popular Doujin at Comifes. There was a hell of a lot of Guilty Gear in the first season. The King of Fighters XI during the three special episodes in between seasons 1 and 2. The anime has the beeping clock from 24 during the third day of the 2004 Comiket/Comifest, when the Genshiken first enters as a vendor. All instances of Ohno and the others cosplaying count too. Like KOS-MOS, Yoko, and Panty and Stocking. Sasahara notices a man with v-cut blonde hair who looks "too cool" to be an otaku at his first ComiFest. In the adult doujinshi section. Now, how many other blonde, v-haircut pervert otaku do we know?... One episode had Sasahara and Madarame playing DS. You can't actually SEE what they are playing, but the BGM of the game is the regular battle theme from Etrian Odyssey I. In Episode 9, Madarame wonders to himself "Am I that unpleasant? Am I The Andromeda Strain?" In the Beach Episode, Tanaka and Ohno build a sandcastle version of The Castle of Cagliostro. In the guest artist omake "Ohno's Cosplay Album", she's shown cosplaying Asuka, Lum, and several other characters. Pretty much everything Sue says is a reference to other manga/anime. One time she recited several lines of dialogue between Kagura and Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh (from the "Osaka's Half Day" special), culminating in her punching Sasahara in the stomach (at the point in the dialogue where Kagura punched Osaka, in an attempt to cure Osaka's hiccups). It's stated that he caught the reference and therefore "knew what was coming", and let it happen anyway. When Hato's inner maiden fantasizes about Madarame, he responds with a "Shut up, 801-chan!" which is a reference to fujoshi-to-perfect-girl-evolution manga Tonari no 801-chan which itself had references to the original Genshiken. It's like a full circle of referencing. Chapter 56 has Sue channeling Senjougahara Hitagi and Hachikuji Mayoi. She's also taken on Oshino Shinobu, albeit with some more... realistic... undergarments. The opening intro for Nidaime had Sue dressed up as Frau Kojirou. They went absolutely nuts on cosplay in Episodes 4 and 5 of "Second Season". Let's see, there were Kyubey and friends, Chamber, Amy and Saaya, Yamada from Kujibiki♡Unbalance, Panty and Stocking, Don Valentino, Azazel, a Titan, Tsukihi and Karen Araragi, Akane Tsunemori and Shinya Kougami, Miku and Rin...

Genshiken (Manga) / int_d45c0b86	comment	Refuge in Audacity: Sue, both in-universe and outside it. Sue is successfully attending a Japanese college without anybody but her closest friends (and even for them it takes quite a while) only vaguely hinted at that she can even speak or read Japanese beyond parroting lines from anime. Likewise, Sue gets away by being a possibly uncomprehending foreigner to push the envelope on cosplay far beyond what would be socially acceptable in either Japan or the United States. From an "out of universe" context, Sue's ability to physically and emotionally protect her friends, usually while conveying complete boredom and disinterest, is unrealistic enough (both for her age and in general) that at least by contrast with the more realistic characters it borders on a superpower, and the series uses this to set up and resolve situations which without her presence would otherwise have darker and longer-term consequences.

Genshiken (Manga) / int_dbc2a0cd	comment	While not a foreign character, Ohno spent about 8 years living in the US prior to the start of the series, and shouldn't be nearly as fluent in Japanese as she's portrayed. On the other hand, her English is grammatically correct, but her accent (in the anime) is absurdly thick for having spent her formative years abroad. This could be handwaved with the explanation that though Ohno lived in the US from age 10 to 18, it was because she had moved with her parents, so presumably they spoke Japanese at home. And Angela mentions that Ohno used to spend quite a bit of time with other Japanese people in the vicinity. Or you could just say it's due to the limits of the actress playing her.

Unusually for the trope, this seems more a practiced habit than the result of trauma, and carries more intensity than emptiness - in fact, the visual contrast with Ogiue is the main argument against calling it an unusually hollow Death Glare. Effectively, Ogiue's original gaze conveyed "I hate you and everything otaku and yes I know I am one" while Sue aimed more for "I have been brought back from a place of existential torment to consume the living".

Suddenly characters move from making references to series current to early and mid 2006, to referencing series that wouldn't even have existed yet if a strict chronology was followed on with the continuation. Angela's references to the Bakemonogatari series get only the narrowest pass if she's quoting the original light novel which came out within the rough time of Nidaime thus far, but the Puella Magi Madoka Magica cosplay doesn't fit anywhere. Showcased even more blatantly in the animated Nidaime's Comifest episode, where aside from the aforementioned Madoka Magica cosplays, one can spot Muromi-san and Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet cosplay. Later on there's even a reference to Free!.

In the manga, they hook up offscreen and reveal that they are already a couple when Kasukabe teases them about their relationship, catching her off-guard (she's actually the last to know). In the anime, they are much more timid about things and need Kasukabe to play matchmaker, helping them overcome their mutual fear of rejection. This is much truer of Sasahara and Ogiue's false starts at their relationship, with lots of matchmaking going on behind the scenes by Ohno, Kasukabe, and Madarame to get them together. While the anime never reached far enough along in the manga's storyline to see the Genshiken vacation where Sasahara and Ogiue finally express their feelings, the anime shoehorned those emotional elements into Tanaka and Ohno's relationship. It still works, but seems a bit strange after reading the manga first.
