Wow, that was so wrong in many ways, but sweet and Hilarious at the same time
New Madarame sounds more clear and mature

I'm glad the entire episode centered around someone from the old cast. Though Genshiken isn't a romantic drama, would've been interesting to see something revolving around Madarame, Saki & Kousaka.

Also...LMFAO! That Samus outfit!

This season is pretty entertaining so far.

Damn, I really love the story between Madarame and Hato. Wouldn't be too far of to have BL in a show about a club of BL-fans. ALso it would be nice for a change. I tried yaoi now and then, but it went fast all too arkward. This was really nice, without them falling over each other after five minutes.


Yep, I think they easily have the best and most intimate momments of any characters in the show. Its definitely not gonna happen though, this is not that kind of show and Mada is not gay. If Mada is gonna end with any of the girls of the show, its most likely gonna be Keiko.

Madarame is K-on fag? Superb!
He also seem to like Milky Holmes.
Well, you can also see Ika-musume poster, and the figures have fate/stay night, bakemonogatari, miku and a bunch of other stuff. He has a broad taste.

All those figures and posters looked like the real thing, but Neige Hausen looked completely different. It's like the anime staff didn't know the character and just copied it from the manga and chose random colors for it.

Hmm as much as I despise all the VA changes, especially Madarame's, I can't deny the Madarame did a decent job here, as a poor man's
Hiyama, Nobuyuki.

Good episode eventhough i'm not a fan of BL. Atleast the streak of Madarame focused episodes being good hasn't been broken.That may be enough to keep me going in a show that has forfeited the merits of its previous superior incarnations.

Madarame is easily my favorite character in Genshiken. That flashback with Saki. I hope Madarame find someone. Also Madarame had a crazy ton of anime figures and posters! I found it funny that they had to censor Asuka's suit at the very end. Good episode!

Poor Rararame-kun, I hope to find love and forget Saki, since there will never be a rift between her and Kousaka, although I've always hoped there.
Storytelling fun, but at the same time, there is a disconnect with reality, reducing the play a few moments, I like this formula.
Interesting and engaging introspection to Sasa and Hato.
Drawings and animations as good quality, even the soundtrack is good and catchy.
There was a complete upheaval in the anime of Genshiken, but this third season it works pretty darn well, I'm happy with everything.

Keiko doesn't look trashy anymore. What happened?

Besides that, they're once again giving Hato more attention, so it really does seem like he's one of the more important characters, at least for now. I don't mind though, as the part where his female side was talking to him and the scene after were quite something. First, I always enjoy some introspective questioning. Second, for some reason, I expected Madarame to make a big deal out of him sleeping on his bed and knocking over his figures, but everything was taken in stride. Madarame was actually very understanding. Third, their talk was actually quite nice. It's something I didn't expect out of Genshiken, much less its third season.

Now with the references. With only one viewing, I spotted the Lucky Star crew, Squid Girl, Yotsuba, Miku Hatsune, and I believe Sakura Kinomoto in Madarame's room. There's probably more that I missed, so this season is certainly more heavy on references than previous ones.

What was Susana talking about when she ran in on Sasahara and Madarame? An awl, penknife, and a potlid...Battle Royal?


You just made me realise that Keiko holding Madarame's tie is really similar to Kanji doing the same thing back in Genshiken 2. I even googled something like it and quickly found a comparison picture:



Guess it runs in the family. xD

He can't cook!

3 months? Changing voice like that? Please teach me senpai! xD

Aww Madarame :(
I hope he can find his new love soon

Since when Ohno and Ogiue knew that Madarame likes Saki ? In the Genshiken 2, I remember that Ohno was still clueless when Angela mentioned it..

But it's good that someone know about his feelings.. It feel sadder when you don't have someone understand you, and Madarame keep his feeling alone so far, no friend to talk about it.. Yes, I understand that his friends are also Saki friends (club members), but I want someone like Tanaka or Sasahara can be a place for him to talk about it ...
I didn't say that he should be moving on from Saki.. The only way to moving on is to find someone else ...

So, does that confirm Madarame is, at least, bi? Either way, that was a dope song playing throughout the end of the first half.

Based on his interactions with, and Hato's subsequent feelings, I guess, maybe not?

I do like the idea of Hato's cross-dressing form being his Stand. Though my first thoughts were more Persona-esque: his shadow. Similar to Kanji in 4.

That shrimp pasta dish looks like something I'd make. Except I probably wouldn't use ham. If I had to add another meat it'd be bacon, but I might just stick with shrimp, sauce, and tomatoes. It looked tasty.
