GENSHIKEN POWER LEVELS

12 Days of Aniblogging 2023, Day 10

For no particular reason, all the members of the Genshiken have had their abilities translated into specific parameters. It’s pretty obvious that A would be the strongest, but you might be thinking to yourself, “What on earth is all this B+ and C+ nonsense!?” Well, don’t worry, because I’m not going to explain anything here. Just consult the Servant Parameter Rules.

Overall, the ratings represent ‘otaku power expressed as deviance, taking combat potential into account’.

Spotted Flower spoilers follow. (everyone is bisexual now).

Sasahara Kanji: C+, B

Condition: Green

An “average” otaku in nearly all respects, though he has good taste and the ability to distance himself and speak objectively, even when under attack by girls. Can appreciate yaoi in some situations. As a manga editor, of course, his power increases, and his devotion to his waifu is commendable. The Gunpla Quiz gave him the Ball as his favorite mobile suit, and he’s also a Patwaber fan!

Still… Ahhh! Men who get in the way of Yuri are unforgivable!

Kousaka Makoto A-

BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN! BAYOEN!

Extremely high base stats, a very scary offense and near-perfect defense, that pretty-boy face, perfect crossdressing, and the ability to make it all look effortless. Capable of going at it for half an hour while also watching anime! He can pull girls for threesomes whenever he wants! (not Saki though). He’s a master of the Great Tanaka Rensa technique! That kind of power is truly fearsome… However, a kiss on the cheek from Sasahara was super effective.

Harunobu Madarame. C++/--

Sou Uke

A lot of pros, a lot of cons. However, it all balances out to an average C. This guy is the very picture of a normal otaku… or at least, he tries to be. Low base stats, excellent coverage and decent utility, but he suffers from four moveslot syndrome. Capable of entering a gay relationship, and even bottoming, although the circumstances were not particularly praiseworthy. Easily punishable, due to his excessive recovery frames.

…I can’t decide if cheating on his wife on the night she gave birth to their child is something that raises or lowers his power level.

Mitsunori Kugayama C-

Level 27 Ranger

A pretty skilled artist, when he has to be. Usually he doesn’t have to be, so that’s fine. Manages to live a nice normal life without drama, and that counts for a lot – but he’s pretty conflict-averse.

Souichirou Tanaka. B

P-Bandai 1/100 MG Master Grade Ver. Ka

Capable of successfully synthesizing 2d and 3d by sewing cosplay, building gunpla, and even making custom figurines. Tanaka definitely understands the power of care and love. That’s not the kind of power you can take lightly.

The type to mostly just block attacks until he sees an opening.

Kasukabe Saki E

Blood Type: AB

An otaku-sounding name, but a low power level. Not actually very good at conflict, either. Still, she has been to Comiket Comifest! Don’t count her out.

Ohno Kanako D+, B

Wears a Three Star Uniform

Just wants to be a pretty cosplay mannequin with no internality – until Ogiue shows up, and then the gloves come off. You can really tell the devs put a lot of effort into that jiggling, huh. Don’t take her lightly though: she built seven Goufs.

Her victory line, “There’s no such thing as a girl who hates homos!!”, does feel really out of place after a round win against Hato though.

The Genshiken President ???

BLOOD TYPE: BLUE

A mystery to the last.

Angela Burton – C+

“Unlike your chest, mine gives people dreams and desires.”

You’d think that not being able to understand all those doujinshi she’s buying would make her a weak otaku – but in practice not speaking Japanese just makes her really good at dodging attacks. Extremely high attack power. Eventually becomes an enlightened being capable of appreciating both Yaoi and Yuri and, uh, demanding threesomes from her friends. Hm.

Suzanna Hopkins – B+

Pettan Pettan Tsurupettan

Today I’ll sneakily hide in the trees again and keep stalking Ogiue! I'll wait and steal the precious thing!  The little girl who speaks in nothing but references is actually really blushing?! She sticks out her arms when she runs; is she going for the cute look?

This fanservice joke girl (evil spirit begone!) /

born into the nation of America (probably plays puyo puyo)/

was actually, canonically, (Kadabra, Alakazam)/

bisexual??????? (Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Ra, Mada Mada Rame, yeah!)/

Manabu Kuchiki – E

Stand Parameter: Development Potential E

The other kind of joke character. Like Sue, he’s a grappler, but he just doesn’t have enough options or ability to adjust to matchups. Gets points for liking traps, but loses them for one-note misogyny; gets  points for kissing Madarame but loses them for being boring. Starts a lot of conflict but easy and uninteresting to deal with; he always goes for the super so you just have to bait it out and then smash attack him.

If that wasn’t enough, I personally hate this guy because if not for him Hato and Madarame totally would have done That!!!!!  

Ogiue Chika D+, A

Genshiken Brigade Chief and Ultra Fujoshi Director

Incredible otaku power – enough to draw doujinshi of people she knows in real life and easily grasp the truth of Kifujin Kaminaga’s “Hato x Brother” madness. She does constantly try to kill herself and deny her heart but once she stops doing that she’s capable of producing incredible amounts of manga. Ends up with a boyfriend and a girlfriend but complains that sexually satisfying them both takes away from her drawing time. She’s bad at dealing with conflict but her pure ‘level of ability as an otaku’ is close to the top of the rankings.

This ranking is curtain fire shooting game.

Girls do their best now and are preparing. Please watch warmly until it is ready.

The border land was wrapped in Scarlet Magic. Girls believe that you solve this Genshiken Nidaime.

Yoshitake Rika C+++

Nen Type: Manipulator (Pseudo-Coercive).

A demon of chaos. Her power as a fujoshi is fairly standard, but she devotes herself wholeheartedly to causing problems and drama – and in this capacity she’s powerful enough to approach Hato. All her moves have random components… in serious play nobody uses her but among casual players she’s often considered broken.

Yoshitake Risa D

Noble Phantasm Rank C

It’s all fictional anyway but girl. what is wrong with you. Fails to appreciate Hato, but does get Hato to wear fetish clothing, so that’s a bonus. The gap between her appearance and her personality is moe.

Mirei Yajima D+, A-

Self-Proclaimed Uncute Girl Doing Uncute Things

Toiling away in the shonen mines, convinced that someday Naruto and Sasuke will kiss for real no you just don’t understand the depths of their relationship. A terrible artist, and she knows it. Grouchy and grumbly and insecure about her gender presentation, especially with Hato around.

But she’s a good writer, and a good editor, and she knows what she wants (Hato) and how to get it. My second favorite character honestly; I really love the way her complexes towards and around Hato play out. “He needs to have sex with a guy so we can draw better manga, which is the only way to make sure he stays with me!” Yajimacchi are you okay? (no she is not. She has way too much internality).

Kenjirou Hato. A++

Super High School Level Homewrecker

What is Hato’s otaku level? Let’s review: Hato is a crossdresser with a foundational crush on his older brother’s EX-level fujoshi girlfriend, going so far as to dress up as her, copy her drawing style well enough to end up with a wall circle spot at Comifest, and blush when she tells him “Hey. I’m getting married to your brother soon. It’d be really hot if you dressed up as me and fucked my husband-to-be, your brother, as revenge on me for taking him away from you.”

Hato has a naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self floating around behind him who does things like make him smell his senpai’s bedsheets and shower in his room, hoping Madarame will walk in on him. Once he's in deep enough with all of this, he gains a second naked floating tulpa girl of his fujoshi self who has the same eyes as his older brother's girlfriend and is Evil. Hato then integrates both of them and keeps crossdressing after a conversation with Ogiue about what he really wants to be and what he wants to draw.

Hato is out of his fucking mind. I love him.

Hato’s conflict potential is also extremely high. Not only was he a judoka (who spent time in the locker room looking at other boys’ bodies and thinking about yaoi) he expertly plays all kinds of “ohhhh you should just give up on me” women games with Madarame’s pure maidenly heart.

And then Spotted Flower happens. Spotted Flower is a moiling toxic sexual swamp of barely-holding-together relationships and threesomes where your good old favorite Genshiken buddies are now bi (Kousaka, Sasahara, Sue, Ogiue, Angela, and Yajima, in addition to original series bisexuals Madarame and Hato) and cheating on each other. Everybody hates Spotted Flower and they’re so wrong.

By the time of Spotted Flower, Hato is living as a woman full time, with silicone implants.

Regrettably, I have no choice but to stan.

Genshiken Reflection 2

In episode 5 of the anime Genshiken, the anime appears to adopt Saito's characterization of the otaku with Ogiue. Ogiue is shown to be able to distinguish reality from fantasy, but has more of an interest in fantasy and also appears to have an affinity for it.

Specifically, Ogiue imagines a fictional relationship between Madarame Harunobu and Sasahara Kanji. The relationship interests her, but she is keenly aware of the fictional nature of this relationship and hides her imagination and drawings from Harunobu and Kanji.

In episode 11, Ogiue turns her fictional relationship into a doujinshi. This could be considered a form of textual productivity to the genre of boy's love. However, despite having drawn manga since middle school, she notably had no particular career aspirations and imagined her prospects of becoming a manga artist to be bleak.

Nonetheless, Ogiue was able to sell her manga. When interpreted through the lens of Fiske's cultural economy, it could be that Ogiue was used to fandom culture amounting to nothing in real life. In particular, she was used to her interests and textual productivity only amounting to her self esteem. This could explain why she had low expectations when selling her manga at Comic Market.

Genshiken suggests that fandom culture, as described by Fiske, does not always amount to nothing. For instance, while Makoto originally faces difficulties with his relationship due to his obsession with games (including so-called girls games), he eventually gets a job creating adult games. Furthermore, Ogiue was likely originally part of a group of fans of yaoi. However, she is eventually able to make money through her imagined fictional relationships making yaoi.

Upon reflection, I do agree that otaku have a strong affinity for fictional contexts, as the reading and the anime suggest. In particular, it's clear that they have an affinity yet can distinguish between fiction and reality. Most otakus do not act out what happens in fiction in real life. However, I believe other fandoms also have a strong affinity for fictional contexts too; for example, avid readers and Star Trek fans interact with their interests in the same ways.

Misushima – Genshiken Second Season (ep. 1,3,4,10)

In Genshiken Season 2, eps 1, 3, 4, 10. We are back at the Otaku’s club. Again, I couldn't help but notice some forms of discrimination towards the Otakus. The Miyazaki incident led to an Otaku scare, and social resentment towards those deemed Otaku arose throughout Japan.

Suzi being a foreigner, however, has not grown up in the Japanese culture affected by the Miyazaki incident. As such, she’s comfortable expressing her Otaku self, unlike most of the other portrayed Japan raised Otakus. 

The stereotypical Otaku perversion is also an ample subject in these episodes. We can see instances in the anime where the characters have to face their sexual desires toward fictional works. Despite this being a similar subject to that of the circumstances faced in the first season, there is a greater emphasis on erotic fiction. Particularly boy love. In season two, the cast is replaced by a group of “rotten” girls — or fujoshi,  is a Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men. Even Kenjiro Hato had an interest in these boys love erotic works. Despite the perceived perversion associated with these otaku interests, they are not carried out. When Kenjiro and his alternate persona reflect on living out their boy love fantasies on the passed out Harunobu Madarame, they are never carried out. Toward the end, Kenjiro Hato discusses with Kaminaga some quite erotic boy love ideas, ideas that he denies real interest in for himself to partake.

Expressions of the characters Otaku’s interest is also of interest. Kanako cosplaying, Chika’s production of doujinshi, particularly boy love, And Souichirou Tanaka’s creation of cosplaying outfits are all examples of these Otakus' attempts to recreate their fictitious interests into a fiction of their own. Whether its an imitation of a fictitious character, storyline, or clothing style, These otakus are attempting to take their consumed fiction into their own non-reality.

[immoren]

I guess it's development in Genshiken when at that start mere character design of Madarame gave me have such seething despicision towards him that I would be willing to inflict violence on him while by the end of story he felt like someone I could go and grab a beer with.

Madarame is my waifu, I swear

Anime i’ve Watched

That begin with a G (Part 2)!

Yep this is how i’m going to bring over all the anime and manga i’ve watched and posted about on the old blog. It’s not so detailed but it will have to do. Anything new I watch or read from this point on will have their own posts.

Genshiken:

Genres: slice of life, comedy, parody 

Synopsis:  Kanji Sasahara is an introverted college freshman just looking for a place to fit in. One day, he happens to stumble upon the club known as the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture—otherwise known as Genshiken—that serves to bring the full spectrum of otaku culture together. His first visit to the club, however, does not end well as Sasahara's pride is crushed by his senior, Harunobu Madarame, and he leaves the meeting in full denial of his otaku nature. However, after befriending club member Makoto Kousaka, who turns out to be a hardcore otaku despite his looks, Sasahara becomes more involved with club activities which include obsessing over their favorite anime, reading doujinshi, and attending conventions. There, he meets other interesting people like Kousaka's vehemently non-otaku girlfriend Saki Kasukabe, who strives to turn her boyfriend into a "normal guy." While Saki struggles to understand otaku culture and her boyfriend's love for it, Sasahara finds himself enjoying his time at Genshiken, gradually shedding any denial he once had about being an otaku and immersing himself in an otaku lifestyle. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 8/10

Finished airing in 2004 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Slice of life featuring tons of nerdy goodness and a cast of interesting characters! I can’t really do this one justice with words but it’s something a bit different from most and is an enjoyable ride from beginning to end. 

Genshiken 2:

genres: comedy, parody, slice of life

Synopsis: 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. (Source: Media Blasters)

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2007 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: A few new characters and some of the old. Otaku club life continues in this anime about anime/ manga fans. You loved the first season, you’ll love this one as well.... maybe even more! 

Genshiken Nidaime:

Genres: slice of life, comedy, parody 

Synopsis:  Another college semester begins and the returning members of Genshiken attempt to recruit new club members. Three new members join the club, attracted by Ogiue's BL drawings. She welcomes the new members but fears the club will become a "fujoshi" haven for yaoi fans and is getting a bit too far removed from its original purpose. (Source: ANN)

My Rating: 10/10

Finished airing in 2013 with a total of 13 episodes. 

My Thoughts: The university/ college setting for this anime really is a breath of fresh air.... all those animes set in High School get rather tiresome after awhile.  Anywho, Genshiken is back! This time with a cast of mostly new characters. Yet somehow it still retains all that goodness from the first two seasons. Season three is actually even better in my opinion! I have the first omnibus of this manga... perhaps I should finally get around to reading it. If you checked out the first two seasons of this title then you’re sure to check out the last. Enjoy!

Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon):

Genres: comedy, school, shounen, slice of life

Synopsis: Yuugo Hachiken is studious, hard-working, and tired of trying to live up to expectations he just cannot meet. With the ushering in of a brand new school year, he decides to enrol in Ooezo Agricultural High School, a boarding school located in the Hokkaido countryside, as a means to escape from the stress brought upon by his parents. Initially convinced that he would do well at this institution, Hachiken is quickly proven wrong by his talented classmates, individuals who have been living on farms their entire lives and know just about everything when it comes to food, vegetables, and even the physiology of livestock! Whether it be waking up at five in the morning for strenuous labor or to take care of farm animals, Hachiken is a complete amateur when it comes to the harsh agricultural life. Gin no Saji follows the comedic story of a young student as he tries to fit into a completely new environment, meeting many unique people along the way. As he struggles to appreciate his surroundings, Hachiken hopes to discover his dreams, so that he may lead a fulfilling life on his own terms. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2013 with a total of 11 episodes. 

My Thoughts: I sure do watch a few rather unique anime it would seem... Plenty of delicious looking animated food and a story that follows the lives of a handful of characters attending an agricultural high school. I know, I know we’re back in the high school setting but this one is rather unique, as are a number of the issues brought up and addressed in this series. A great show for if you’re looking for a slice of life series that’s a little off the norm. 

Gin no Saji 2nd Season (Silver Spoon 2nd Season):

Genres: comedy, school, shounen, slice of life

Synopsis: As the new semester begins at Ooezo Agricultural High School, Hachiken is now used to the tough lifestyle of a rural, agricultural high school. While Hachiken still wonders what he will do in the future, he continues to discover both the harsh and the beautiful realities of the countryside. (Source: ANN)

My Rating: 8/10

Finished airing in 2014 with 11 episodes. 

My Thoughts: A bit of charm from the first season seems to have been lost but still an enjoyable series overall. A must watch if you decided to give the first season a try!
