==== Description: ====
Genshiken is a bash script designed to fetch embedded video/image links, parse
them for a valid URL address, and then send them to either: wget; a media
player; or an image viewer.  It's name comes from an anime whose abbreviation
meant: "The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture."

Currently it only works on 1 website: http://www.watchcartoononline.com/. 
This website acts as a central hub that hosts third party video links
submitted by users.  These links, however, require proprietary software; with
Flash or non-free Javascript being put in charge of loading the videos.  With
Genshiken in charge, you can load these videos without the need for
proprietary software.

Genshiken is similar to youtube-dl and Linterna Magica.  Genshiken is designed
to operate on a website, treat it as a playlist, and works with external
players that you have installed on your system.

This program will be supporting more websites soon ...
