This season deals with some more serious aspects of the otaku life, but it is just as good as season 1.

First off I advise anyone to start with the first season. Go figure. :)
Having said that, the second instalment in the series is more focused on the characters individual growth, so the comedy aspect is toned down even further - there are many fun moments to be found, but overall Genshiken is about giving the viewers the chance to see how the Otaku universe works.

Genshiken, Genshiken OVA and Genshiken 2, fantastic anime. Preferred the second season over the first, better animation and a nicer overarching plot, but both well worth a watch. Funny and relatable, perfect slice-of-otaku-life anime.

More of the same from Genshiken. If you liked the first season, 2 is an able successor, although it does seem to play it a little safer with character development and backs off the "Otaku only" jokes. Worth seeing in any case.

It's good but I'm still a little disappointed they skipped the most interesting arc from the manga.

Introduction: This is to me, one of my top 10 animes, which is actually saying a lot cause I've seen a little over 500 series :(. Sad but I started since I was born, so the series I've seen is spread over a very long time.
Any who, why is this such a good anime? Well basically it just appeals to me more than most. I just love the cliche theme of an anime about people watching anime. It's like a coffee table book about coffee tables.
After watching so many series, you come to understand almost all the references in this anime. So the jokes to me kind of got amplified, maybe compare to others.
Animation: I don't see this often but the animation got so much better as it went on. I mean as a whole, from the first season to now. If anyone has read the manga, would notice the same thing happened in that too. In fact it looks like all the characters got redesign as the issues came out.
It's like the simpsons where, if you compare the old simpsons to todays, it looks like everybody got a face lift. So do expect a all the characters look if you've seen the first season.
Sounds: Everybody sounded nice, especially Harunobu Madarame, I just love that guys voice. It gives that ion yet at times a geek sound that just fit his character nicely. The OP is quite funny, with reference to Gundam/ Kujibiki Unbalance / gal games from the anime. It definitely fit the theme of Genshiken, but I liked the Ova OP more then this one.
Story: Well there's kind of three stories in Genshiken, in the beginning it was about what normal people viewed Otakus and the miss understandings they had about the culture. In this season it's more about these misfits coming together and just having a good time with the hobbies they shared. Of course it continues to bring in the theme of what Otakus are about and it showed more of the female aspect this time. The third story we see near the end, where it change to the story into a full bloom love comedy with Ogiue and Sasahara.
These continuous changes were done nicely, meaning, you can't really notice the sudden switch in content until you take a second look. The storyline flowed nicely and you get wrapped up in the plot.
Characters: They all very colour and quite unique from most other animes, it's probably due to the content of the story that we see such a large change.
So what we have is just a class of typical Otakus, there's one into cosplay, one into gaming, the usual quiet Otaku, and then your more normal types. Each one kind of balance the others and they form a close group, which I enjoyed.
Value: okay so you probably won't enjoy it fully unless you've seen a far bit of anime. But don't let that get in the way of a good series. The first season was kind of dry but if you get through it and watch this one, I bet you'll just love it.

A satisfying next installment of Genshiken :P. I was pretty excited about this series after finishing the 3 part OVA and it definitely answered my expectations. It continued with the same style as before although the focus of the series was different. They moved the focus from internal persetive to more external issues. How the characters had to adjust from school life to regular society living. The series starts off rite where the ova leaves off.
Animation
I felt that it was more colorful but in a way I didn't like that. Some characters looked a bit weird with the extra colors added. Like they look more cartoony. For instances Oono and Kousaka look younger in this series then from the first. In particular Kousaka looks like hes 15 or something. Other then this the animation was fairly consistent and they barely cheaped out on anything. I really liked the opening sequence with the parody gundam scenes. It really looked like an opening sequence from gundam seed hahahahaha. The backgrounds were somethings a bit dull but not bad enough to take away. All in all the animation was average nothing TOO special so I can't credit it that much.
Sound
The sound was also nice but nothing outstanding. The opening song was a very "gundamy" kind of song that fit. The ending was a slower more homey song to lead it out. The voices stayed the same so it fit well. The overall OST was also similar to before so not much comment on it being oustanding. All I can really say is everything was mediocre. The only bad parts were the fake english girls. They sounded terrible like.... they learnt english in a foreign country. Though I don't blame them because all animes have terrible english speakers doing the parts.
Story
Since they decided to switch the focus this made for a different look at the series. I think they made a good choice to deal with more serious topics. That being said the anime still never gets very serious at any point. That is the good part you don't want this kind of anime to get serious. Its all about otaku jokes anyway. That also means that the story can never get good to the extent that it stands out or makes a lasting impression. Its just a good way to time and thats it.
Character
Definitely the factor that makes this anime. As always this anime deals with the delicate topic of otakus. So having believable and funny characters is key to making it a success. They definitely continue to achieve this in this season. Some aspects of this season change though from the first season. Rather then focusing on Kasukabe other characters also start to get much more air time. You also see more new characters who all have pretty hilarious roles. Therefore making the cast really enjoyable, funny and unique.
Value and Enjoyment
I think that in of messaging they do try to provide one for "otakus". That they also can make something of themselves in society. Even still I don't think its much use for the average person. I would rewatch this series though since it has some amusing moments. Although I think the first season is more fun to rewatch then this one. I still would consider doing an entire run through of the whole thing all together. I did enjoy this season alot and it provided me with good entertainment. It isn't going to be a top anime on my list by at least it was fun. Thats what was most important for me. I recommend it to people that have already seen first season and really enjoy it. It is mainly comedy and a little bit of drama. Hope you have fun if you give it a go :)
