Well, OGT warned me, but I didn’t think it would be that bad. The second chapter of Otaku is pretty epic. O_o It’s where most of the meat of the book lies, actually. So. Chapter two: “Database Animals.”

Further thoughts on re-reading Genshiken: Madarame’s fetishes, Ogiue’s hangups, and never the twain shall meet
Ogiue’s appearance marks a shift in Genshiken from loosely organized slice of otaku life to something a little more like a recognizable romance plot — but, I emphasize, only a little more like a recognizable romance plot, as Genshiken has that fantastic way of maintaining absolute subtlety, subverting every trope in the book, and hitting [...]

Thoughts on re-reading Genshiken and taking a few levels in otaku
A few months ago I took the first volume of Genshiken from my shelf, thinking the series deserved a re-read, and that I’d go through it at my leisure. As of now, I’m somewhere in the middle of the third volume. That’s leisurely enough, I think. I picked up Genshiken for the first time back [...]

The Madaramean Principle at work in Strike Witches
Apologies for the delayed final few Strike Witches posts. It’s the end of the spring break now, which means it’s time for me to stop doing mostly nothing and start finish the schoolwork I’ve been putting off. Which, in turn, means I don’t really have time to sit down and hammer out the rest of [...]

Moment the Second: Would he?
Funny story: Cuchlann and I chose the same moment again, and completely by accident. Unlike our Gurren-Lagann overlap, this one’s actually mildly obscure. If you didn’t believe me before when I said I was assuming his identity, you ought to believe me now. But we’re taking different approaches to said moment, so you really should [...]

Twelve Moments 2 — Shipper’s Folly
Oh, Genshiken, is there no awesome you can’t handle? Yes, there is no awesome you can’t handle. Luckily for me this just happens to fall into 2008, as I bought the final volume of Genshiken just a week into January. The “moment” this is about is the point at which Madarame gives up, entirely, his ambitions [...]
