Damn it, I still forget Hato is a trap sometimes.

Another nice episode imo. Kinda funny how everyone is seeing how their relationship is going. Keiko is also pretty epic this episode. Sue is epic as usual :>

Really fun episode :D

Why the hell is Hato a trap?!?! He's tooo cute sometimes.

Loved the confusion that happened and Madarame's reactions XD

Kaminaga is way more awesome than I thought. Love her character and how direct she is. Also quite the surprise that she's marrying Hato's Big bro.

Sue kissing Mada was sooo cute and funny and the cliffhanger...Look who we have here and at the worst timing for Mada who has a crush on her XD

I spot a Lolicon XD

Really love u Sue <3

That's the charm though. I'd hit that.

Not to mention his male version is pretty HNNG as well... :<

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

It was a thrilling moment when he encountered her. LOL@that misunderstanding. Poor Hato, it must've been painful before. But glad he got friends who understood him now.

I think even in the manga it is a mystery, she either is a genius loli or a smallish petanko.

Sue really got me there with her ultimate attack, I thought she would push Madarame into the air all the way into Hato's lap or that she would grab his nipples and drag him all the way there, anyway, nice job Sue, but it seems she is going to be like the alligator that eat Captain Hook's hand :3

Madarame just revealed about Hato. Wow, they just entered the story so sudden. The girl who was friendly with him felt guilty about what happened. lol @ BL sempai (thought so, Noto-san)'s imagination, and Ogiue thinking that it makes sense. Everyone's actually worried about his sexual preference,

Also, cool background for Hato, added a lot of depth to his character.

This was actually a lot enjoyable and easier to follow than it was written out in the manga.
I am def. looking forward to whats yet to come now that Saki is on the scene!
(And hope it turns out just as good as it did in the manga, so much feels.)

I haven't watched Genshiken Nidaime up until today, that's how big my hesitation was
when I heard that the cast has been changed.

Today, I watched all 10 eps which aired so far in a row, that's how awesome I think this show is, now^^

Just three eps left, too bad :-(
Urgh, waiting sucks!!

An interesting episode, no matter how you slice it.

Kaminage really through me off, since her looks are more reminiscent of the original Saki, and her voice (by Noto, Mamiko - Kotomi from Clannad) sounded a lot like original Kousaka's (by Saiga, Mitsuki). Kaminage's combination of Saki/Kousaka looks/voice, plus a personality that had Kousaka's nonchalant otaku vibe, in conjunction with Saki's accurate relationship assessment.. Had me confused. In short if Saki+Kousaka merged into one they would be Kaminage.

Sue can use her Ultumate Attack on me anytime.

Episode that leaves satisfied once again.
Finally we come to find out what was hiding Hato and a bit of his past comes to light.
Yay!
In truth I wanted that the episode lasted more, as my eyes flew to in a heartbeat.
Narration too funny, a bit of credit goes to Sue as always, as the rest of the cast has in no part in the events of today.
Drawings and animations great, the PV in late episode is quite interesting, can not wait to follow him.

So that was the "trigger" that made Hato crossdress.
Kaminaga will have two brothers all for herself and her BL imagination.
Sue's ultimate attack was sweet!
Saki saw it though, she even called him a lolicon.

Noto Mamiko! I knew it, she's rotten inside.. Well but she still have that adorable voice xD
I guess that's all ended in well note for Hato

Sue you sly girl!
I just like her more and more every episode

Madarame is lolicon confirmed! xD
I know.. I know Sue is over 18 probably
But her body and soul is a loli :P

Next ep, title..
It's not last episode right?

Madarame dun goofed.

So basically, Hato's tragic backstory is that everyone thought he was jerking off to BL in the bathroom, and therefore gay. Then his brother started dating the girl he liked. Pretty rough.

At this point, Hato might be lying to himself. He clearly has a thing for Madarame.

What is Saki wearing?

Man, Hato's VA is really ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
OP is great, ED is great, characters are interesting...
I can't get enough of this series but unfortunately, it's short lived in the anime. (No sequels anymore...)
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
