Genshiken is a manga series by Shimoku Kio about a college club for otaku (extremely obsessed fans of various media)
and the lifestyle its members pursue. ourGenshiken is a blog written by four otaku who want to share their passion and report on all the various visual media they love.
We've been pretty heavy with Video content as of late so to stem the tide as it were, I am dedicating my next few posts towards featuring more artists in tangible & print media. To start off the posts we are starting with something from the minds at Disney.
Over the past two years, the minds behind Disney's animated films have been making a quiet splash at Comic-Con International in San Diego with it's limited edition comics releases. In 2009, the artists released "Who Is Rocket Johnson?" – an anthology of original stories that set out simply to answer the titular question.
This year, the group is back with "What Is Torch Tiger?" a $20 volume featuring stories of jungle discoveries, anthropomorphic airplanes and bickering spouses amongst other visually-appealing plays on the main question. for more information click here.
Because I love you composed by either Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka or both. Such a sweet song expressing not only the contemporary tastes of the time but conveying it's own unique character.
WEEKLY FAVOURITES #1 - Favourite One Piece Story Arc!
SO in celebration of the 100th post, I'd like to announce the WEEKLY FAVOURITES posts! This is something that we'd originally planned for Genshiken but never got around to it. On that note, Mike and I will let you guys know when we catch up with One Piece and Bakuman so we can resume the 'Why this week's One Piece kicked ass' posts ;)
WEEKLY FAVOURITES basically allow us to geek out on our favourite geek stuff! Starting with something we all love - ONE PIECE! So. .... . . .. .
Every one post your favourite One Piece story arc this week!
You guys know my favourite story arc, I think, but I'll mention it anyway!
LUFFY vs SAW-TOOTH ARLONG! Especially the moment when Nami asks for help! Go, Luffy!
I love the eerie/ambient, yet MELODIC music from this game! Composers for newer horror games could learn a thing or two from Yoko Shimomura! This song is one of the themes played in Central Park, I believe...
