| The special edition of volume 15 of manga "Genshiken" (also named volume 6 of "Genshiken Nidaime") will contain an OVA adapted from the story of volume 9 about the characters making a hatsumoude visit to the Naritasan Shrine during the new year. The manga will be released on December 20th. The manga was earlier adapted into three TV series and one OVA series. "Genshiken Nidaime," the latest TV series, just finished airing in September 2013.

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| More "cute version" of Genshiken(aka Genshiken Nidaime)? No, thank you. I will pass. |
| I like anime. |

| just make the OVA less Hato centric and i'd be fine with it. got too much of it in Nidame |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| Always been a fan of Genshiken so I'll definitely look forward to this. |
 |
| Nice to get an OVA. Love the anime. |

Pat_To_Do-List said: But that's what the manga is about!?!? I don't understand this when people want the anime to be something other than the original material's story. Hato's story was very important. I liked it.ovoon7 said: Kind of wish there was another season, without the BL focus and no focus on cross dresser. I really enjoyed the quality of the season, I just hated what they focused on. I absolutely agree with you. It is odd that they are reaching back to volume 9 for the OVA however, considering that this season was beyond that. Ah well, at least it isn't the usual anime-only OVA this production committee usually does (Nazo no Kanojo X, Sukitte, Tonari no Kaibutsu kun, Chihayafuru...). But that might lower my chances of getting it as I was hoping it would take the story further. Do disc sales even matter for this series after 3 seasons and several OVAs? Not like any past seasons have crossed the Manabi Line... |

It seems with poor disc sales that Japanese otaku also agree with you that this season wasn't good but if this is what was in the manga then I really don't understand why people were surprised. Aside from the last episode the adaptation was quite faithful. |

hpulley said: I don't think Japanese fans necessarily think that the anime is not good. It is just that they may have fun watching it but not really would like to pay a fortune to buy and own the BD/DVD. The subject matter of a trap, even though it looks exactly like a girl and is voiced by a girl, is not easy to sell as something to "moe" about.It seems with poor disc sales that Japanese otaku also agree with you that this season wasn't good but if this is what was in the manga then I really don't understand why people were surprised.

symbv said: I didn't buy it either. I buy the manga which I really enjoy and don't find the anime adds enough for me to justify buying it. And it doesn't seem like something I'll want to watch again and again. So I'm not really surprised by the low sales numbers but I really shouldn't compare myself to Japanese otaku. I'm in the right seinen demographic for this one but I am not Japanese...hpulley said: I don't think Japanese fans necessarily think that the anime is not good.

Aside from the last episode the adaptation was quite faithful. But again, the trap is in the manga. It isn't voiced in the manga. The choice to use male and female VAs for the trap is interesting. I wish they'd used one actor. There are many female VAs who also play male parts and this was a perfect chance for it. |

Pat_To_Do-List said: More "cute version" of Genshiken(aka Genshiken Nidaime)? No, thank you. I will pass. What, not from what I understand from reading this? It says volume 9, AKA the last volume of the original Genshiken, not Nidaime. From what I remember S2 of the anime stopped even before the shrine visit though, so too bad they're not adapting the entire hole between the Genshiken and Genshiken Nidaime anime. But at least it's something. |

Dudewitbow said: Since it is based on vol.9 it is not even Nidaime yet, so no Hato at all. If you click on the links i provided as Source, you will see that the key visual does not have Hato in it.just make the OVA less Hato centric and i'd be fine with it. got too much of it in Nidame |

| More Genshiken is always good. |

| Great, looking forward to this :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
