Nice, I enjoyed this episode as well.

Yajima, what the hell are you doing? LMAO. The Rika moments were great too.

LOL poor Yajima. It was a very sensual moment when she was about to flip up *her* skirt. That execution was superb. Just wish other anime also had that kind of subtle fanservice with real girls, which would be more effective than direct & apparent fanservie.

It was an interesting episode, but I don't know where the series is headed.

I'm liking this new season, and it's making me want to read the manga. It's without a doubt different from the other seasons, but it hasn't turned into some moe' girl school club show. In fact it seems to be a slight parody of them. The characters still act like actual otaku, and they still have problems with one another like actual humans. Kind of wish Hato's VA was an actual guy who was good at sounding feminine, it would make it more realistic in that sense. Also allowing for the moments where her voice will change to sound less awkward. Good episode, had a lot of hilarious moments.

Man, didn't think we'd see someone's personality so quickly, quite impressed, has to be annoying if you're sensitive about your looks and someone of another gender comes along and does it so spectacularly.

I want more Sue, more than just a joke character. :(
And man, hopefully some more Madarame, been missin' the bro yo.

I'm totally impressed with the new season and the new crop of characters. Looks like I'll have to catch up with the manga to get the full story on the Oguie and Sasahara romance, though. Already bumped this from an eight to a nine based on this episode.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I sympathize, though I am generally happy with the show, I really hate what they did with Ogiue's voice. It is just so totally plain now, she lost her Touhoku accent, and has none of that edge that defined her as a character in the second season (and made her so appealing). Now she sounds like a normal "cute" girl, and is as boring as one. The sound director really needs to be drawn and quartered over that one.

Raphow: the answer to your question is that most people here are immature. I am not into BL or Yaoi, but give me a good story and I don't care if it is part of the plot. Genshiken is about Otaku culture, all of it, not just the male part. One of the fun things about this show is that they explore all aspects of being an Otaku, not just the "oppai" genre. But the little kids here can't handle that. They don't realize how similar they are to ten year olds going "ewwww gross" when they first learned that boys and girls kiss.

Edit: the episode cut out that they were drinking alcohol at the apartment. I guess it wasn't essential, but it did kind of take away the explanation for Yamaji's actions.

Humm, wasn't sure how obvious it was since I knew what to expect. In the manga they used it to show that Rika is a year older than the others, having been a "yojimbo" for a year. Still watching the episode now so I am not sure if they will bring this up. Again, not important, just a little character development.

Ah, earlier you asked whether you should read the comics. If you are liking the show, then definitely. The animation is pretty faithful, but there are a lot of little things that they don't have time to show.

Wow, even the OP is showing Hato as the main character of the series.

Kouhais hanging out. lol @ that huge girl getting curious about Hato. lol @ Ohno's face when heard that Kuchiki already found the job at his home.

Then kouhais helping out with Ogiue's manga. The reason behind Hato's wearing female costume revealed. lol @ the end with Ohno wanting to do everyone's cosplay.

I re-watched the second season and the differences with Ogippe's new 'Nidaime' VA are a just jarring. It won't prevent me from continuing to watch and enjoy the show, but it's a disappointment. I loved that accent.

This was a nice episode; great character development. Maybe it was just me, but I was kind of expecting to hear that familiar "La La La" chorus cue, during Yajima's 'inspection' of Hato.

Someone needs to introduce Hato (and the other girls) to Kintama >P

Ah, that was a nice ep, Hato is making a better woman that me too, I'm afraid.

Anyway, I love this so far. I loved the previous seasons, but as fellow fujoshi I relate much more to these bunch of otaku girls (wish I could draw as well). I've never found anyone to share my interests (not just BL) until I moved to Japan. I know how hard it is to be different.

Actually the other day my friend dragged me to gothic lolita shops in Harajuku, and for the first time I got a close look at the people who like to dress like that, and there was even a guy wearing a pink fluffy tunic (he was not feminine at all and not wearing a wig), it was a little strange to me, but kind of awesome at the same time.
I like that he can dress however he wants, and be himself, and I can be a tomboy and wear my geeky t-shirts and superman chucks as often as I like and not be judged as I would've been in my home country. ♥ Japan.

What have they done with Oguie's voice? And where are the extremely nerdy facts, references (NO one piece doesn't count) and cute sub-plots like Kujibiki Unbalance?

Disappointed so far

Still, we saw some character development this episode, and it might just have a slow start. Will continue

^ I kinda have to agree with BlackOdd about the lack of Kujibiki Unbalance in this new series (course, I think Kujian is pretty much a thing of the past at this point with these new/girl characters)
Anyways, ep was so-so but I am def. looking forward to the next ep from what I saw in the preview!

I still can't get over the voice changes, but I do enjoy the show somewhat. The main Genshiken characters are treated like cameos (like in the manga), but the female characters just isn't as interesting as the original Genshiken club members was. Next episode looks awesome, lots of Madarame! I hope they will animate that "shocking scene" with


I would currently rate this show 7/10, while the original Genshiken was absolutely 10/10

Judging by the preview at the end of this ep, we'll also see the return of Sasahara's little sister (which is good cuz them completely leaving her out of Genshiken 2 anime just to give her roles from the manga more to Kuchiki kinda sucked)

This episode is so full of him/her, including the OP lol
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yeesh. Watching this reminds me of how Saki was weirded out by otakus in the first season. Will Nidaime ever get to a point where I go, "Hey these character's aren't too bad. They're actually kinda cool in a way" the same way Saki did in the past 2 seasons?

Hah and they finally did an Ohno(Oh No) pun. Is this the first one or did I miss a couple from the past?

I have to agree with what others have said, that not having all the past voice actors for established characters is jarring, but as others have said, it will not prevent me from enjoying the anime of a creator which I enjoy. Although, yes they cut the alcohol in the scene, this anime version kept the essentials of the chapter, which is an overall good thing.

Why is the OP so focused on Hato? If anyone should be the focus girl, it should be Ogiue. I guess even the producers and director are gay for Hato. Anyways, I've always liked Yoshitake in the manga but in the anime she's just so much love.

Though if you read the manga, you would know that a huge chunk of it is focused on the who Hato x Mada thing, which I totally ship BTW; it has more intimate moments and development than Mada x Saki or Saki x Kousaka ever did. If Hato was a girl it would work but then it would come off as too wish-fullfilly because Hato is perfect...except he's a guy.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.
