Animate.tv brings us the news that Genshiken 2 web radio will begin streaming on October 9th, coinciding with the TV show‘s terrestrial broadcast. The radio program will be anchored by Hiyama Nobuyuki (Madarame) and Mizuhashi Kaori (Ogiue), who will engage in philosophical discussions that will deepen (or not deepen) their understanding of otaku life. Corners include Mizuhashi’s “Fujoshi no Hanazono”, where she listens to and resolves the concerns of female otaku listeners, and Hiyama’s “Koko ga Hen da yo Ippanjin!”, where otaku turn the tables and point on the bizarre behaviors of “normal people”. The show will be called “Genchoken Otaku na Radio” (Genchoken = Gendai Choukaku Bunka Kenkykuukai, or the society for the study of modern audio culture), and will stream new episodes every Tuesday consistent with the broadcast of the TV show. This is going to be fun… :3 (no more)

sounds cool, too bad you can’t put subs in audio…or can you?
still a treat for those who understand the language, and a cool idea.
Do you know if this will be available outside Japan? Or will outside Japan be blocked like with the streamed episode of the TV show..?
Given that it was announced on Animate.tv I’m guessing it will stream there along with all of their other web radio shows, which are available internationally.

Actually, MP3 files allow you to save ‘lyrics’, which would be good for subtitles. You’d need to listen to it on a computer or iPod but otherwise…yeah.
Makes me wish that Media Blasters was able to license Genshiken 2 right away. And even if they did, I will definitely hope that this will be a DVD add-on (with subtitles, naturally). Especially since FUNimation added the radio dramas to Burst Angel on their DVDs.
