        Hi Posters and Lurkers,   
      
            I got the package Friday February 6 evening and got the first   
   disk into the machine this afternoon Sunday February 8.   
        The two disks and book are enclosed in a slip case about the same   
   size as   
   the Season one case for the 3 DVDs in separate cases.  DVD cases are used   
   for the disks rather than the smaller Bluray cases.  And I must approve as   
   it makes filing simpler.   Another slipcase or two and I will have a   
   shelf full of   
   Genshiken animation.   
      
        I am impressed by the quality of image and translation.  The   
   opening song is   
   translated as well and clearly is aimed at Hato's situation.  I suppose the   
   animators found Hato to be the most spectacular character for the anime   
   and built the whole thing around Hato's early adventures in the manga.   
   All the other Genshiken characters to date show up in this season aside   
     from the one gamer that Kousaka beat at Saki's urging.   
      
        I am really glad I bought the set which is two disks and a very   
   thin 64 page   
     hard cover book entitled "Genshiken Second Generation Ulitimate Fan Book"   
   which it is featuring a Character Gallery, excerpts from the manga and a   
   catalog for figures of the whole Genshiken group all with date TBA,   
   some priced at about 810 Yen and others price and date both TBA.   
      
        9 episodes on disk 1 and several mini-episodes under Genshiken   
   Discussion   
   topics in Extras.  The mini-episodes are hilarious.   
        4 episodes on disk 2 and 3 trailers for recent Bluray releases.   
        Full credits on both releases.   
      
        I would buy it again. but with Genshiken I am always happy to   
   have spent the money.  By the way with the Genshiken, Genshiken 2 and the   
   OVAs included in the Kujibiki Unbalance series and these Bluray disks   
     I count 40 episodes of Genshiken animation.
