I stumbled onto this anime when talking in the Anime UK News forums. I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first but I was greaty mistaken.

Genshiken is a story about an anime Club in Shiiou University. It starts by following Sasahara, a new student just about to begin his first year. He joins the club to be with fellow otaku (obsessed interest in anime/manga). The series then follows the club over the next four years, pritty much covering all aspects of an anime obsessors dream. I won't go to deep into the story but surficed to say that mini ... day to day like adventures fill the series. I laughed a-lot.

I thought that this was a refreshing change to the usuall action filled animes that I'm used to. It's fun, exciting and the characters are totaly believable too. The art work isn't the best I've seen by a long way, but you don't care when you watch it. It doesn't need it.

I myself can relate to the chatacters in this series, as I'm sure many other fans would. I guess that's what makes this series so appealing. I'm so jealouse of their activities too. If only it were happening to me.....

Bottom line is, if you like anime alot, then you'll love Genshiken. That's all there is to it. You may not agree with me but that's my opinion.

Now I think I might go watch series 2 and then read the manga ^^

Hope you found my first review helpfull, or at least entertaining.
