Season 1Quote:Sasahara Kanji is a college freshman who decides to join a student society to share his hidden thoughts on manga, anime and gaming.When he first visited Genshiken, short for "Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyuu Kai" (Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture), his groundless pride was destroyed by the plotting of Madarame, a sophomore student in Genshiken, but he still couldn't admit that he is an otaku.However, as he participates in society activities such as visiting dojin (private publishing) shops and anime festivals, and hangs out with other society members Kosaka (a hardcore otaku despite his extreme eccentricities and good looks), Kosaka's girlfriend Kasuga Saki (who isn't really an otaku), Ohno (a cosplayer) and the others, he opens his mind and resolves that he will make his way into the otaku world. With their help, Sasahara slowly adjusts to otaku life in Genshiken.Code:Alternative TitlesSynonyms: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual CultureJapanese: げんしけんType: TVEpisodes: 12 Status: Finished AiringAired: Oct 10, 2004 to Dec 26, 2004Genres: Comedy, Parody, Slice of LifeDuration: 25 min. per episodeRating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or olderVideo informationsVideo: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x480 (853:480) 23.98fpsAudio: AAC 48000Hz stereo [Japanese, English]Subtitle: UTF-8 [English]Code:01 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247308371/[ACX]Genshiken_-_01_-_The_Study_of_Modern_Visual_Culture_[SaintDeath]_[754472AA].mkv02 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247311151/[ACX]Genshiken_-_02_-_Comparative_Classification_of_Consumption_and_Diversion_among_modern_Youth_[SaintDeath]_[811FA430].mkv03 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247314151/[ACX]Genshiken_-_03_-_The_Issue_of_Regional_Cultural_Advancement_and_its_Merits_[SaintDeath]_[7689494E].mkv04 http://www.filesonic.com/file/259170151/[ACX]Genshiken_-_04_-_The_Sublimated_Process_of_Mental_Blocks_Regarding_the_Dissimilation_Between_Dress_and_Costume_[SaintDeath]_[B53BD4F7].mkv05 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247311211/[ACX]Genshiken_-_05_-_The_Boundary_Between_Rejection_and_Acceptance_Seen_in_Autonomous_Behavior_[SaintDeath]_[E1954BF7].mkv06 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247310631/[ACX]Genshiken_-_06_-_Subculture_and_its_Circular_Relationship_to_Others_Surrounding_It_[SaintDeath]_[B4670885].mkv07 http://www.filesonic.com/file/250028751/[ACX]Genshiken_-_07_-_Characteristics_of_Actions_and_Decisions_in_Personal_Relationships_[SaintDeath]_[0918D1FD].mkv08 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247312561/[ACX]Genshiken_-_08_-_Comparative_Research_of_the_Mass_Production_Process_[SaintDeath]_[7F4A3AD5].mkv09 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247314541/[ACX]Genshiken_-_09_-_The_Existence_and_Nonexistence_of_Explanatory_Duties_Under_Special_Isolated_Situations_[SaintDeath]_[D6660EEE].mkv10 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247308191/[ACX]Genshiken_-_10_-_Leisure_Time_Expenditures_on_Fetishism_Considered_as_an_Economic_Result_[SaintDeath]_[7A0F8578].mkv11 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247310891/[ACX]Genshiken_-_11_-_The_Theory_of_the_Existence_of_Malice_Within_Urban_Crimes_[SaintDeath]_[CBA4D930].mkv12 http://www.filesonic.com/file/247301664/[ACX]Genshiken_-_12_-_The_Countermeasures_for_the_Issues_That_Occur_During_the_Reorganization_of_a_Group_[SaintDeath]_[867CEE13].mkvOVAQuote:It's the start of a new year for the Genshiken crew, and that means recruiting new members. Always a dreaded task, The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture manages to get Chika Ogiue pushed onto them from the Manga Club. With her introduction of "I'm Ogiue and I hate otaku", this year certainly will be anything but boring.Code:Alternative TitlesSynonyms: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture OVAJapanese: げんしけん OVAType: OVAEpisodes: 3 Status: Finished AiringAired: Dec 22, 2006 to Apr 25, 2007Genres: Comedy, Parody, Slice of LifeDuration: 24 min. per episodeRating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or olderVideo informationsVideo: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x480 (853:480) 29.97fpsAudio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo [English, Japanese]Subtitle: UTF-8 [English, Japanese]Code:13 http://www.filesonic.com/file/217868651/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_Ep13_(6EABCECB).mkv14 http://www.filesonic.com/file/217857762/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_Ep14_(11B1D984).mkv15 http://www.filesonic.com/file/217858382/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_Ep15_(DCF71B94).mkvSeason 2Quote:The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, otherwise known as Genshiken, is now under the charge of a more confident Sasahara. Things have changed in between semesters, and the otaku club now has a new otaku-hating member named Ogiue. Sasahara's initial goal of starting a doujin circle and selling those fan-made magazines at the next Comic Festival becomes a reality, but reality is a cruel master... who apparently crossplays. Afterward, the club is abuzz with talk about Tanaka and Ohno's relationship, which takes a hesitant step forward.Code:Alternative TitlesJapanese: げんしけん2Type: TVEpisodes: 12 Status: Finished AiringAired: Oct 9, 2007 to Dec 26, 2007Genres: Comedy, Parody, Slice of LifeDuration: 24 min. per episodeRating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or olderVideo informationsVideo: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x480 (853:480) 29.97fpsAudio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo [English, Japanese]Subtitle: UTF-8 [English, Japanese]Code:01 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218284502/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep01_(E9517428).mkv02 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218290142/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep02_(013E45D4).mkv03 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218284472/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep03_(32B7B75A).mkv04 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218289452/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep04_(55DA0CDB).mkv05 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218307321/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep05_(89056921).mkv06 http://www.filesonic.com/file/219692701/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep06_(1B1B178C).mkv 07 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218282852/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep07_(3D855353).mkv08 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218292582/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep08_(BF4509FB).mkv09 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218284982/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep09_(AAD31D48).mkv10 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218272501/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep10_(3CBB8BC0).mkv11 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218283652/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep11_(09708A84).mkv12 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218287142/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Ep12_(DF025DC8).mkv13 http://www.filesonic.com/file/218292102/[Exiled-Destiny]_Genshiken_2_Menma_Special_(7055FCCF).mkvRemoved HF links, replaced with FSn (see edit reason)
