Since no one else has done this, I thought I'd better do it.

This thread is for discussion of the series "Genshiken". Please post comments, worksafe images and general triva. For those who have seen the series before, please refrain from posting spoilers until the relevant episode has been shown; we don't want to spoil it for the others now do we?

This is also a good place to ask "exactly why were the back row laughing so hard?"

Oh, two possible reasons:

1) A couple of the characters resemble NAMSOC members.

2) We saw some of the jokes coming before the greener members did, and it just made things funnier

Well, don't try to hard. The series is a lot like Welcome to the NHK in that it reminds to target audience of themselves to a slightly worrying degree. Its very well observed, and I've been worried at times how Madarame resembles me for example (tendancy to say the wrong thing without thinking, like my last post, obsessive, hates buying clothes, has a hard time with money, the list goes on).

Well according to that bastion of reliable and unbiased information, wiki pedia (spot the sarcasm), its because of a connection to sega.

Because the anime is co-produced by Sega Sammy Holdings, the Guilty Gear video game series is heavily referenced, with actual gameplay sequences being shown multiple times, Ohno cosplaying as Kuradoberi Jam, and various other minor references. The Sega puzzle game Puyo Pop also serves as an important plot point as Kasukabe tries to gain Kousaka's attention.
