I'm kinda torn. On the one hand, Genshiken is one of my favourite manga, so I'm quite happy to see more of it. On the other hand, the mix of the new and old characters really feels weird, for a reason. That's kinda what I thought when the new characters were introduced in Genshiken though, so these'll probably grow on me.
Don't want to sound sexist though, but there is really A LOT of girls there. The only males are a dumbass and a crossdresser. I don't think getting males in a club has ever been a concern for any anime club ha ha.
(also kinda liked the reference to Panty and Stocking, some quite cool Zeitgeist here).
I think the mix of the works well. Usually when the older members graduate and have close friends (or lovers) in the club they will usually come back a few times. The members that made an appearance had a reason to actually be there. They did not just pop up.
I like the change of male-to-female ratio compared the Genshiken. They had trouble trying to get girls to join and now it is the opposite. It is quite funny how it all works out.
