The official Genshiken website was updated today with the news that a second season of the anime is in fact in the works, scheduled to air this fall.
…holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. There are no words, just incoherent sound as I try to express the immense wave of excitement washing over me right now.
Perhaps the daily votive offerings of bald, bearded yaoi doujinshi at my (as yet unfinished) Ohno shrine have paid off after all… needless to say we’ll be following this very, VERY closely over the coming months. (no more… yet)
BEYOND awesome. Many will probably disagree with me, but I hope it uses the OVA art style, instead of the original TV one.
I’m with you there, I prefer the OVA designs to the original TV ones. Though what I’d really like to see would be an actual budget for the animation… not likely, I know, but a fellow can dream.
I was so hoping for a TV Drama… Storywise, it’s quite possible they have to redo the Ogiue and Kuchiki introduction all over again.
Wow! It’s a good news for me to see Ogiue again. I hope the quality is equal or less than the OVA a little. I’m looking forward to.
Disregard these, im already listening to Madarame’s advice, buy what you feel like it >_
Hehehehehehehehe.
Hahahahahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
oMG, Its true ! Praise the higher up. The Prayers have not gone unanswered !! Season II (tears) is finally at fruition.
The TV series itself was good I liked it regardless of what others said. I like The OVA Animatiton as well, but seeing the series from Manga to anime just does this old soul good. Reminds me of my own teen/young adult yrs.
YES! This should have happened a long time ago . . .
I don’t really have anything against the animation or character designs in the OVA but I’ve got serious issues with the minimal use use of shading. I prefer the look of the old Genshiken anime over OVA but as long as it’s Genshiken, anything will do.
I don’t ~think~ they’ll redo the new cast introduction – if only because OVAs have episodes 13,14(,15) IN the title screens. Then again, who knows…
I hope it’s a sequel to the OVA, although one case scenario is they might use the OVA episodes as part of the new season (a kick in the nutz for those who bought Kujiun boxes only for Genshiken). :x
You know, now it makes perfect sense why they picked the stories they did for Episodes 13 and 14, as in the manga they were standalone stories.
So 12 episodes to cover up rougly 4.5 volumes of manga, it’ll be great seeing/hearing Oguie’s arc. TV viewers might be a little confused by her sudden appearance though…
Genshiken Season 2 da
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Someone over there loves us. :3
But the question is: will it have a budget?
Y’know, I haven’t watched the TV nor OAV’s yet, and I am still waiting to get the last volume… yet this makes me as happy as Larry. That, and second season Emma.
YES YES YES YES YES!
im happy! but i hope they still put the ova eps in season 2 for the new and old veiwers.
plus i perfer the season one style but as long as its genshiken!
*thinks back on previous happy discoveries*
