well.. i don't think she changed that much. her relationship with tanaka became much closer and i don't think of it like of destroying ohno's personality. it was a step she made on her own. progress.. sort of

Does anyone else think that they completely ruined Ohno's character? In S1 and the OVA she was a sweet naive otaku girl then in S2 she turned into a completely different character =/

It's like since she started dating Tanaka she came out of her shell *a bit too much* I preferred her when she was a socially inept Otaku.

So I just looked at the tentative schedule of events for Otakon next week and I noticed someone else already has a Genshiken panel established.

Omg - was so disappointed by the 'changes' in style of animation at the start of the second series. I see that there was a new director / studio.

I thought that the whole slow pace of the first series (befitting of Otaku life) was lost. That the same cast of voice actors wasn't maintained is also a bit of a bummer (I'm sure Saki-san is new voice - haven't checked though).

Not a total disappointment though - it has grown on me.

So last week I got my rejection email for the Genshiken panel. Oh well. Better luck next year I guess.

True true.

The thing is though that there are different levels of being an otaku, ranging from a Hikkikomori to someone like the the "normal" characters in Genshiken. It's really hard to make a comparison unless I'm comparing just myself and a couple of my friends, and who is to say that we are "normal" and someone like the Train Man isn't?

A cool thing to do would be comparing the cast of Genshiken to the lives of actual otaku. Since in my opinion it seems like the chrarcters each personified a specific characteristic of a person who likes anime/manga. So would the characters really be otaku since they seem like normal people compared to characters in lets say the Trainman movie who seemed a lot more like otaku.
