Yay! Genshiken is back. And that means more Ogiue <3

It was a good start. They are following the manga nicely. Lets hope they keep this up to the end.

Great start to the second season, can not wait for the next episode.

The art seem a bit different to me from the first season, I am not sure what it is, but something seem off. I will have to go rewatch some of the first season later to see if it was just my mind, ya know.

Kind of a slow episode, but that's what's nice about Genshiken...it's "quiet" and yet there's still plenty going on.

Art does seem a little different, I agree. But still good. So nice to have the gang back! <3

Um, where's the humor gone?

I laughed watching each and every episode of the first season, but this episode was damn slow. I hope the next episode will be better regarding the comedy aspect. Good to see Genshiken back though.

So the manga was boring and unfunny too? I'm disappointed.

I did laugh a bit here and there but was more a serious episode. After all they are going to Comifes! xD.

Was a great Start in terms of story and i liked to see Sasahara job saying "no" to Haraguchi. Good to have Genshiken back.

It did feel a bit different from the old Genshiken. But that wasn't exactly bad.
I liked the episode even though it was indeed a bit slow.

Ogiue <3 (it crossed my mind that she and Sasahara could have something going on between them this season... I'm probably wrong though)

Hmm..good question. I'm not really sure if they got together last season, or in the OVA. They do share the passion for cosplay but I don't recall if they ever went beyond that.

It's a bit more obvious in the manga but, yes, they are dating by this point. Also, I thought it was obvious in the last OVA episode that they were dating due to Ohno's jealousy over all the costumes for Ogiue Tanaka had made.

It was a strong episode to start on. It was more plot focused and serious but it was a good character development episode for Sasahara. I like that they have a new soundtrack for season 2 though I'm sad about the ending being changed. The old ending was PERFECT.

Good episode. I think I'm really going to enjoy this series focus on Sasahara. He has been my favorite character throughout both prior shows.

Art is "meh", and I can't quite understand why I don't like it as compared to the previous installments, but I"ll deal with it.

Can't wait for more.

I liked it. It seemed to be a bit on the serious side, in contrast to the last series and ova, but it was enjoyable and my favourite characters had lots of screen time, so that's a big plus.

This was more of a set-up episode than anything else. I still found it enjoyable though, and I'm looking forward to the following episodes.

Haraguchi's still a douche and the MCs are still awesome.

I agree with that. It doesn't matter for me when episode is slow, without action and with a lot of dialogues. I'd even say: I love this, but it got to be interesting in SOME way. For me doushinji are at best boring, so that's why this episode was rather poor in my opinion.
And seriously they could do something ambitious, create their own manga, or artbook or whatever, but no - they decided to make some manga porn. I'd say it's kinda sad.

Nice start again of the series, where we left off with the ova we now are catching it up with a full speed ahead to make the Doujinshi!

Lets see what this season has to offer!

Finally, glad to see Sasahara gets some spotlight from this season. Seems like he was the background character the whole time in season 1 except for the finale. Damn.

Definitely nice to see more of Ogiue. Also is it just me or did Kasukabe cut her hair a little? Hmm..

5/5.

Nice Sasahara. Never imagined he could be that reliable. And although the show is not that funny compared to the 1st season, it is still nice to watch. Seems like it will be more plot focus which I will really like.

Shorter hair and a slightly rounder face perhaps--but I don't think she's the focus of this season. I think the lack of humour in this episode was a side effect of a sustained dose of Haraguchi--he has the power to turn everything to shit. Must continue with marathon now, as the new season has started and I want to catch up before episode 1 gets too stale.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Same feeling as always. Still enjoyable.
There will be more character development this season, which is good.
I wonder if there will be drama and romance.

The beginning is more than positive, starting with the quality of the designs more than decent and better than the previous season.
Narration very serious and disinclined to comedy, though I appreciate the same.
Storyline that picks up right where they had arrived earlier.
Less Saki and more Sasayan, Ohno and Ogi, that's okay.

Not that bastard again... Nice to see Sasahara turned him down. This was more serious than the previous season but I don't mind at all.

Oh and artstyle, again, seems changed but it looks fine.

Ogiue seems to be best when she's being lewd in her own head. 100% of her dialogue should just be internal monologues.

No wonder everyone hates Haraguchi. Just stop. I am glad that the other artists weren't giving Sasahara a hard time though. I hate having to talk about stuff like that over the phone. That scene gave me secondhand anxiety.

Anyway, onto the doujin! It should be neat to see the process and creation of it. I've always enjoyed seeing anime about stuff like that.
