Haha Sasahara went all out on buying dojinishji, he's turning into Madarame, and Lmao at Madarame trying to tough it out with his injury and still wasn't able to get some dojin :P

I kept thinking that his bag would tear open and all the doujinshi would spill all over the floor, or someone would steal it when he set it down and wasn't paying attention. I guess I'm kind of a pessimist v_v

Madarame is my favorite character. I love his little vampire teeth!

That somehow would fit Sasahara after all the effort he did to buy the doujinshi.

A very funny episode, I quite liked it.

Madarame's brain has been corrupted. He only thinks in terms of anime....

Well. I guess I shouldn't criticize, of all people. :-P

Heheh. This episode makes me grow a soft spot for Madarame, mostly because I feel his pain. I had gotten my wisdom teeth out the day before WALL-E opened in theatres, but I toughed it out and sat through the whole thing, sick from the vicodin and a dull throbbing in my puffy face.

Kind of dissapointed that Saki wasn't in the ep more, but Madarame made up for it.

well, to be honest, thousands of otaku in one place are a little bit scary. xDD
sasahara is annoying, isn't he...but at least he knows that he's lame.'

episode was OK, I'm quite interested in this anime, but I still don't know if I like it or not. xDDD

Sasahara has picked up Madarame's buying style. Grab it and worry about the price later! Loved Madarame's swollen hand that kept getting bigger and bigger! Just before he got taken away when he pulls it out of his pocket and it's huge, he just calmly puts it back in his pocket saying "Let's pretend we didnt see that"! Genius!

Man, I'd love to go to a comic festival like that! I went to Excel in London, which is pretty much the biggest in the UK, but there isnt the fan-doujinshi side here, it's all just industry booths selling merchandise! Not only that but our publication/indecancy laws are too stiffling, and we'd never be able to have an all ages event with porn doujinshi! Damnit! It's like the law makers assume having sexual desire before the age of 18 is wrong! Surely NOT having sexual desires before 18 is even more wrong!

I feel bad for, Madarame for having such a bad convention. If I had to leave so shortly into it after waiting for hours...I wouldn't be happy lol

Damn that must really suck to have an injury on such an important day like that! Although quite funny episode especially the massive amount of dojinishji!

Episode didn't really pick up for me til Madarame got messed up (which I'm pretty sure didn't actually happen to him in the manga during this story, but again, there's always gotta be some changes between the two). This was an important ep for us to see who exactly the troll we all know as Haraguchi is (since all we saw of him was that very brief exchange at the start of ep 2)

Every time I see Comiket in an anime, it makes me want to go too.

This episode was a little slow. Very little character development or drama. The jokes were a little lacking too.

My head was aching from laughing because of Madarame. What a super Otaku. And "Let's pretend we did not see that". Haha. Love the ED again!

Too bad Saki lost interest to go with them after seeing that many people. And wow, Sasahara's impulsive buying. Reminds me of myself. Whenever I see anime magazines in malls, I buy it immediately without thinking twice...

Aah, wish I would be there on Comic Fest with them, I would also buy many doujinshi like Kanji :D

And I realized just now but Sasahara is speaking with some accent - anyone know what it is?

Ohno coming! Next time! (。♥‿♥。)

Hilarious and great episode! He was trying to tough out the injury. When he fell I laughed! When that guy bumped into him he got knocked out. I like the ED song. I also like how the ED animation always had to do with something that happened in the episode. I'm really with this series.

Typical comicket episode.

That simple fall dont injure that much though.

I dont want to go comicket after this episode because the waiting hours is a waste of time for me. I rather watch animu at home.

ED song is really good and OP composer is manzo who composed the opening songs for Hitsugi no Chaika.

I'm really liking this series and I'm not exactly sure why. Nothing really happens in it, but it's just so chill and the characters are all so nice to each other without a lot of drama. It's just relaxing and nice or something.

Don't worry about it
Comiket is for pervs and sinners
Welcome to anime world xD

I mean Genshiken seems like a nice chill club
Not all clubs have to make something right?
Sometimes chill and nice clubs to reduce stress exist too

You have to line up to go home?
Whaaaatttt? That must be sucks
