Nate RFB posted:The first iteration didn't completely hinge upon liking Sasahara, though. You'd be hard pressed to even say he was the main character for much of the story. This times a thousand. You could have had the original Genshiken without Sasahara, as the rest of the cast had their own stories to tell. Outside of Hato and Madarame, the cast of this modern Genshiken feels shallow and uninteresting in comparison. Even then, Hato's story has been dragged out in such an irritating fashion at this point, even his story is disappointing.

While I really wouldn't care if Madarame ended up with a dude, it would take a ton of chapters of soul searching for him to realize he's open to that. A ton of chapters, mind you, that I really don't feel like wasting after being dragged through Hato's molasses-paced inner turmoil. As it is, it would seem really jarring and dumb for Madarame to open up to dudes after spending an entire series and then some holding a torch for a woman. Not saying it's a character progression that couldn't happen, but I just couldn't see it turning out well at all.

First series easily. Maybe some rose-tinted glasses at work, but I felt the first series utilized its full cast better.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the latest chapter. I don't care what Hato decides to identify as, so long as he makes up his mind and commits to one. I realize that I can't really relate to his plight, but even so I felt like the pacing got really bad as Hato waffled about. If things are pretty much decided now, awesome. There are some good pieces in place for the coming chapters.
