Genshiken, doing otaku stuff with class and attitude, it is able to be funny while still maintaining a strong sense of reality.

Genshiken is three season Anime franchise released in 2006, 2007, and 2013.

Somewhere along the line, you will actually believe that all that moeshit is true, but you will never stop watching it anyway. This thing is what fellow otaku in Genshiken mainly talking about. Genshiken always offer many views of well-discussed opinions among otaku instead of one sided hate view or retarded otaku argument. You will realize that various otaku with different niche in the same room will make a very interesting conversation. There are tsundere fujoshi otaku, hardcore otaku, manga artist, cosplayer, foreigner otaku, costume maker, even bishojo (beautiful girl) who get dragged along with otaku is there to spice up the conversation in The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture. They talk about their hobby like there is no end, their quirky romance with the opposite sex, they always something to do such as making dojinshi, making yearly magazine, making photoshot session for club promotion, etc. Event such as comiket in hot summer is also become the major episode. The second major You will also find out how to submit manga to editor, entering amateur manga competition, creating dojinshi circle working hard to make a dojinshi, selling dojinshi in Japan comiket, making cosplay cloth, etc. I believe romance has also become the major theme in this anime, the hints and the awkward atmosphere between two otaku lovers is really hilarious.

Things that always pique my interest while casually watching Genshiken is the sudden appearance of cosplay reference based on many popular anime and game such as Bakemonogatari, Atelier Meruru, Sayonara Zetsubo- Sensei, One Piece, Mawaru Penguindrum, Gurren Lagann, Lucky Star, Code Geass, Robotics;Notes, Puella Magi Madoka Magicka, Gargantia on the Vendurous Planet, Sengoku Basara, Vocaloid, K-On. For example, when Chika Ogiue is forced to do cosplay as Azusa chan (K-On), it really suit her! Perfect Match! LOL.

The story revolves not only around otaku life, but sometime it’s also about romance and they are very restricted by Japanese implicit massage conveying way. The romance in here is definitely interesting, you will find perfect otaku pair such as costume maker with cosplayer, girl who despise otaku with full-fledged boy otaku, fujoshi with manga editor, etc.
