Genchoken: Otaku na Radio

I apologize for not having posted about this previously. Somehow it always escapes me.

During Genshiken 2’s run, Animate TV WEB did a bi-weekly radio show with Mizuhashi Kaori (Ogiue) and Hiyama Nobuyuki (Madarame), where they discuss various aspects of otaku culture and receive letters from otaku. Topics include “Moekipedia,” “Normal people are weird,” and a Fujoshi corner.

Often times, there would be tricks using the voice actors. One episode had Ogiue fantasizing about Shishioh Guy x Madarame. Another episode had the phrase “Ogiue Chika-sensei.”

Mm.

The last episode actually has the original voices of the Vocaloid mascots Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin.
