Roflmao XD at this episode, one of the very few times I ever actually laughed at loud while watching an anime.
The part in the beginning where Saki was explaining how Kousaka might have switched her to doggiestlye position in bed when a anime show started up on tv was just too funny>.<
And I also had a good laugh in the scene where Sasahara goes to meet his slutty sister at the train station.
I really love the series now, one of the funniest I ever watched^^,

rofl, puyo-puyo cosplay. srsly, though, what was up with kousuke's combo? Using that much force against a beginner... that's not even nice. XD

He can't help it, he's an otaku.

I think the strategy ''I'll ignore her and then she will be all over me'' is working pretty well Kousaka. We're in the sixth episode and Saki already has in mind cosplay hanky panky.
Very smart Kousaka, very smart of you.

yeah that's the best strategy...but you have to be crazy to apply it xD

meh a bit weaker than the previous...but still ok

Only because Kousaka is hot!

She even asks Sasahara if he'd ever give up being an otaku, but Sasahara quickly debunks that idea!

Loved that part where Saki was trying to ask the clubroom for advice, poor Ohno, being turned into Saki's agony pet!

This... as a single episode, has to be one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen! Great from beginning to end and so many hilarious moments. The cosplay sex discussion, Saki revealing that Kohska watches anime whilst having sex with her the show being... Kujibiki Unbalance haha

But the best part was when they were playing the PS2 game (impressed they showed that). That combo was just ridiculous, followed by Saki cosplaying "Does this turn you on?"

And that wallscroll, my my, that was Nerine from Shuffle right? What does that say about me...

An utterly superb episode.

One of the funniest eps, hands down! Though this won't technically be the "last time Kasukabe ever played a video game" that it said by the end of the 1st part of the ep (those of you who remember her mentioning playing Katamari in the OVA ep where she's eating with Madarame). ANYWAYS, as for Sasahara's lil sis, it's a shame we see very little of her after the 1st season...

This was the first time I watched an episode of an anime dubbed. Only because I had no other choice.

It was terrible. The episode itself wasn't that bad, though.

It's hilarious when the narrator comes on like when he says that it was the last time Saki played that videogame.

Frankly, the plot development is very little and the relationships between everyone seem shallow. I'm not really enjoying this anime

Ohgawd LOL. I don't know why she would talk about that to the Genshiken club...

I laughed so hard at the ending. Poster on the ceiling will haunt her for life! XD

This was a great episode! Lots of laughs. I cringed so hard when Kousaka showed that wallscroll to Sousara's sister. I knew it wasn't going to end well. I also laugged when the narrator said that Saki never played another game. Also the part near the very end when that wallscroll was on the ceiling.

Saki passes through hell, because of his love, but that does not give up, the same goes for all other differently.
Narrative that pushes the viewer to understand a little the psyche of those who love the subculture of anime and manga etc.
Not bad, considering that the questions are always placed in a fun way.

Oh Saki, I wonder if she has a breaking point. You have give her a little attention Kousaka. But still, this was too funny.

It's starting to seem like Saki's becoming the MC at this point. Although she's my favorite character so far, I hope we get an episode focused around Tanaka or Kugayama soon since we barely know anything about them.

Magnificent episode!

Haha, that friend of Saki is no other than herself! There was a time I had gf and anime at the same time.

WTF is wrong with that puyo puyo chain combo?

Serves that right, Sasahara Imouto!! My actual Imouto is also being influenced by her friend and I dont like the way she is now.

I learned that otaku place poster on roof ceiling so that they can see it while lying on bed.

I loved the puyo puyo SFX at the end of episode XD

She lives with Kousaka already, she was fast.

What a noob xD

I mean there are a lot of cool, handsome, bishounen guys that liked anime
Sometimes they're big.. like really big ani-ota
Well maybe they're just minority

That was a nice place to set a big ¥9000 tapestry xD

The ending, she's definitely M.. secretly

Kohsaka really knows no shame xD. Sasahara sister is thankfully enough not the clingy type that loves her onii-chan too much.

Great episode again.
