Genshiken

Genshiken main image

Ever wanted to join an anime club but felt its geekiness would hurt your reputation? Sasahara feels your pain. Genshiken, the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, is an organization of college otaku obsessed with anime, manga and video games. Their daily activities include holding impromptu cosplay photo shoots, braving the crowds and avoiding injury at doujinshi conventions, and tolerating harassment by Saki, a girl irked by her boyfriend's otaku-ness! It's a perfect match for Sasahara's interests, so why is it so difficult for him to join?

Genshiken and Comic Party aren't necessarily related by story or concept, but they both focus on different aspects of otaku life. Genshiken focuses on the "modern" otaku and addresses much broader range of topics pertaining to otaku then Comic Party. Comic Party however focuses on a certain kind of otaku - the manga artist or mangaka. In Comic Party, you follow an aspiring young manga artist and his journey into the manga world. With the help of many friends, the young manga artists gets a feel of what it takes to be a successful manga artist. If you're in the mood to find anime that deals with otaku life, it's definitely worth it to check either titles out.

Genshiken, like Comic Party, is a look at the culture of a group of otaku. It's a little more realistic and a little bit more serious than Comic Party, but it's still very funny, especially to those of us who are leaning towards that lifestyle ourselves.

Both "Comic Party" and "Genshiken" deal with the world of Japanese manga/anime fandom. Their approaches to the subject are different, but that makes it all the more fun to see the way they deal with the features of fan life in Japan - from doujinshi production to big conventions.
Kafkonia
Both shows involve the slow descent of a normal student into otakudom and doujinshi. With Genshiken, the tone is somewhat more realistic, while it's more over-the-top and cartoonish in Comic Party -- perhaps because of the series' dating sim origins. Comic Party is more focussed on one character, while there are multiple focal characters in Genshiken.

Genshiken and Comic Party are similar in many ways. In both they are, at one point, trying to make a doujin for Comifes. They differ in that Comic Party doesn't take itself seriously at all and has bouts of odd happenings.

While I recommend watching Genshiken if you have seen Comic Party, I can only weakly recommend watching Comic Party, if for nothing more than if you thought Genshiken was too realistic.

If you enjoyed the comedic portrayal of otaku in either Genshiken or Comic Party then you may want to check out the other. Both series revolve around the same set of interests, but approach from different sides of the doujinshi table.

Both Comic Party and To Heart started out as H-games by Leaf and were made into all-ages dating sims and then anime by Aquaplus. They have similar art, and the same emphasis on intriguing characters and a fun, humorous tone.
ironfrost
Comic Party is full of in-jokes directed at To Heart fans. The two shows are by the same studio and share a lot, both in terms of art style and the feel of the show.
abunai
Many of the gags in "Comic Party" make direct reference to "To Heart". If you're a fan of "To Heart", you'll get a good laugh out of them. If you like "Comic Party", then it's worth watching "To Heart", to get an idea of what all the fuss is about.

Both of these series are VERY slapstick and have no really major purpose besides being a lighthearted comedy that is enjoyable to watch. Comic Party might be a little more involved however, and quite a bit longer, but they both poke fun at the same things.

Comic Party and Kanon are both cute anime based on popular dating sim games. Both these series are MUCH better than the usual anime-based-on-dating-sim games genre because they have engaging characters and actual plot. It is usually quite difficult to make an anime based on a dating sim, as every girl typically has her own story that requires a seperate playthrough of the game, so the anime series must compress it all into one showing. Comic Party features the adventures of a budding high school doujinshi artist, and Kanon is about a high schooler who returns to a town where he lived as a child and gradually rediscovers his past. Comic Party is consistently fun and light-hearted, but *WARNING*Kanon moves from cute and funny to sad to outright depressing. They are both lots of fun and worth watching!

In Hand Maid May, the main character is also striving to reach a goal programming A.I. The feeling of the series is similar, with some dashes of good humor and light plot lines. If you liked Comic Party, you are sure to like Hand Maid May.
