About Genshiken OVA

Looking for background on Genshiken OVA? This comedy, slice of life and parody series by Ajia-Do (2006) starts out like this. At its core: 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.

Soon after, with her introduction of "I'm Ogiue and I hate otaku," this year certainly will be anything but boring.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.
