I’m sorry I said all those mean things to you. I thought you lost your way, but after watching episode 2 and 3, I realized that you were just holding back your true powers in order to give us a pleasant surprise. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive my foolish impudence. I swear that you will forever remain awesome in my book from this day on.

Love,
DM

P.S. As part of my apology, I translated your awesomerific opening theme song, “disarm dreamer” by Aki Misato. Please see the attachments. (Virus-free I promise.)

Genshiken is a manga series about an anime/manga/game club in a Japanese university. The title is short for gendai shikaku bunka kenkyuukai, or “The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”. Basically it’s an excuse for a bunch of otaku and fujoshi to have a room to hang out after school and make funny references to Gundam and ero-games.

The second season just started airing last night and I’ve got a few bones to pick…

The first DVD box is due 22nd December. That’s the good news I guess.

Kujibiki Unbalance Noizi Style!

However, because Media Factory is once again releasing the DVDs in sets of twos, the new 12-episode Kujian will come in only 3 DVD box sets, which means a total of just 3 episodes of Genshiken. (i.e. a complete reversal of the Genshiken DVD box sets)

This may or may not be a good thing. Here’s why…

Money!
