Can't believe Manabu got asked out by a girl, but she changed her mind the next day lol.

Nice Senki Zesshou Symphogear reference with Kanade and Tsubasa.

Sue!!! :)
Now we will have Hato's highschool story. Lame, i didn't like that part of manga. I can't wait for Madarame-Saki arc though, but i guess it will be at the end of this season. Really can't wait.

Lol Sue epic as always. Also laughed at setting the bar really low for highschool romance. Also, definitely a quote to remember:
"You don't dress up to impress guys but to keep girls in their place". XD
Definitely going into my most memorable quotes. XD

Great episode. Yajima's high school romance was nice. I loved the Bayonetta and Mr. 2 cosplay in the beginning!

This is weird. But I find Yajima's "high school romance" story cute. And those BL sketches are really so extreme and pros. But they are really drawn nicely.

LOL@Kuchiki's short romance. So short. Wonder what sort of romance Hato had in high school. Hato looked nice in that black dress. He looked prettiest among those girls.

Mawaru Penguindrum! Discussing about cultural festival. Wow @ the gap of the drawing. Ogiue and Hato are doing coop. as Sue suggested. It's about kouhai's love story when highschool for the topic to draw. Only that chobby girl has "love story" type. lol @ that guy being the key to save Hato from saying it and pausing the love talk.

More with Kasukabe next ep.

At 17:46 of the episode a light bulb just went off in my head
what if it is:
Yajima x Hato
Seme <- Uke
Great character building episode with interesting insights to their backgrounds. Makes me wonder if Ohno or Sue had any dating relationships in High School in the States and how cultural differences may have those who grew up in Japan perhaps see Ohno's or Sue's past relationships in a possible different light due to the different social dynamics between American High School Life and Japanese High School Life.

Also is Rika right about why girls dress up? Is this a part of the inter-female relationships that women have that us guys are mostly unaware of?

Dammit I want a Yajima sidestory.

This is really Genshiken's problem since the beginning. There are times where side characters have interesting developments but gets off paneled because it is not part of the "club's activities". Example: Tanaka and Ohno's relationship were off paneled in the manga which IMO can be a decent story in itself. Luckily the author wrote that Tanaka X Ohno episode in the anime making it canon. But I think those 2 characters needed more attention.

Ah, just got why Kuchiki was cosplaying as Bon Clay. The OP reference in Yajima's story! Well, not in this version, which instead of Zoro and OP, they changed it to Zora and Ten Piece XD Good ep :D

That pose and the words Su said to Ogiue as she rested on Su's knees actually come from the cover of Comic Yurihime S 2010 Nov issue !! http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0041TA7T0 Really something obscure LOL

And the Symphogear reference actually was in the manga. I can bet that when this anime was made they did not even realize it would actually help promote the new season of Symphogear which also airs in the same cour 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.

Sue was so adorable and took up the role of Saki dividing the tasks
Kuchiki was finally useful this time by saving Hato unintentionally and changing the topic which roasted the entire first years

Ohno routing for cosplay is cute

I found it to be quite clever how the author changed almost the entire cast at the club and still stay interesting with the change of direction

Haha, that was great^^

Also, people who bash this show because of Hato or the slight yaoi: Fuck you!
The show handles this topic rather well and always gives a rather realistic feel on it, just the way Genshiken always has been. I personally don't like Yaoi either, and still, so far, I love this show, 'cause it's just awesome and very fun!

That Mawaru Penguindrum was just too epic, Sue is most likely the best character from this series! The ending was pretty funny, lets see what's next!

Episode that becomes very introspective, although almost all the action is directed against Hato-kun.
Narration pleasant and serious, not get bored. Drawings and animations excellent, bright colors and pleasant.
In the story today, many hypotheses and doubts were born in my mind, I wonder if they will all respond in the future.

Ono was horrible and sexist to Kuchiki saying that he can't cosplay as female characters because he would look like "kimota". Overall I don't like how everyone treats him.

Dat Bayonetta. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It was interesting to see Hato's mental block with drawing. It's unfortunate he doesn't want to really delve into things. It would probably do him some good to talk about stuff with such a supportive group of friends. Oh well, I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later.

On the other hand, I have no idea how Kuchiki, without a shirt on, being insane in front of a bonfire, had someone approach him and ask him out. Though they did say never mind the next day, so.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"
