| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- An ok episode. Nothing really funny since it was focused on Sasahara's job search, which wasn't too bad. |
 |
| I'd have to say that the last place where Sasahara interviewed, the person asking him questions, really was inspirational to him. Though, not much developed in this episode, it was alright. |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| Saki's dream on the train was pretty funny. Decent episode. Next one seems interesting. |
| Yeah the dream sequence was funny, that's like her worst nightmare...it's ok they made up for it by screwing like bunnies 10 times. Lucky guy! Kinda feel sorry for Sasahara, he really has no clue how to do interviews for jobs...and it seems he has some kind of feelings for Ogiue. LOL, title of next episode is "Otaku from the USA"...this should be great. |
| This episode was good. Nothing really funny, but it wasn't supposed to be. It was actually kinda sad. Next episode - And Sasa x Ogi seems closer than ever :D |
| I dunno, I found this episode highly entertaining. I laughed a lot. Dream sequences, gags, Sasa x Ogi.. loved it. |

| Loved the dream, and more of the actual lead can't be bad(when did the show start following Saki anyway?). An unexpected sad feeling leaving Genshiken this week, looks like we abadon it next episode. I hope the American isn't too steryotypical, I for one get annoyed at most of the American steryotypes(go watch Han Yori Dango 2, I dare you) |
| My anime list |
| yes the ending was really sad and it was a great idea of theproducers to swap the normla ed with the only melody version and the best thing to cheer you up when having a bad day playing eroge lol |
 |
| Sakai's dream was awesome- I thought it was real at first. Sasa x Ogi is beginning, as literally stated in the episode. Good episode overall like usual. |
| Pretty good episode. I laughed hard but got a bit sad about Sasahara. I want some Sasa X Ogi action! Pics of the uber laugh: |
| It was surprisingly depressing; considering everything up till now was extremely funny. Almost to realistic for me -recalls more then a few bad interviews (and shudders)- but enjoyable nonetheless. |
 |
| I never thought that I would say this about a Genshiken episode, but this is a poignant and heartbreaking episode, especially towards Sasahara – not only did he not get a job, but he thinks that his infatuation towards Oguire isn't returned – ah, unrequited love. The instrumental outro at the end without the traditional scene after the outro was especially moving to add to the overall sentiment of the episode. However, it wouldn't be Genshiken if there wasn't a minuscule amount of comedy and this episode have some comedic moments. Like most have already mentioned the Saki's dream was totally hilarious – I was certainly tricked in thinking that it was really happening – although, it seems like trouble in paradise between Saki and Kousaka. Another funny scene was when Kousaka announced that he got a job at a videogame industry that produces porn games – poor Saki! Her response to this announcement was equally as funny – ten times! XD Despite Oguire's protests, it seems that there are the building blocks of a relationship between Sasahara and her, albeit small ones. I have a feeling that Saki and Ohno are going to team up to get those two crazy kids together! |
 |
| I personally think this was one of the best episodes of Genshiken 2 so far. But, maybe I'm bias because Sasahara is my favorite character and it was mostly about him and his FINALLY SHOWN infatuation with Ogiue. Sasahara x Ogiue gogogo! |
| It was an ok episode. I can't wait for next weeks though. It is going to be GREAT!!! |
  |
| Great episode. Kousaka gets the job Saki should have seen coming, and Sasahara hasn't gotten one yet(if I recall correctly, the manga only showed one interview) . I loved the scene in the club room, especially Kucchi's comments on the situation (shipping Sasa x Ogi, then switching to Ogi x Sasa XD). I've been enjoying this season so far but I really don't see how the rest of the storyline is going to fit into 3 episodes. |

Kawada said: Hmm... that sounds rather ominous. Perhaps there would be a third season or an OVA supplement for the second season, like there was one for the first.I've been enjoying this season so far but I really don't see how the rest of the storyline is going to fit into 3 episodes. |
|
| This episode was really touching. I was almost surprised at how it ended. It seemed to lack closure but I think it was a good idea that they played the slightly altered ending theme. It added to the feeling that sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you want it to that I got from this episode. There's was a good mix of humor to balance the more sober moments. Overall a very good character development episode for Sasahara. |
 |
| no wai! next episode seems to be hot! |
 |
| sasahara was denied but he got some words of wisdom, that scene where kousaka got told he had to fuck her 10 times but he still seemed uninterested gave me a fit of the lulz |
 |
| Loved this episode, I hope they put the rest in another OVA or something because 3 more episodes aren't nearly enough for the rest of the manga. |
     |
| Whew...Genshiken's getting hot! XD I, too, don't entirely understand why Saki doesn't just break up with Kousaka, but whatever. |
     |
Overfiend said: My sentiments exactly, I just recently finished reading the manga and I have a feeling that the remaining episodes won't encompass the entire series. It would be a shame if they don't continue on with the series either through a third season or a second set of OVAs, because it would be nice to animate the entire series.I hope they put the rest in another OVA or something because 3 more episodes aren't nearly enough for the rest of the manga. |
|
| One of the best episodes so far in my opinion. Had lot of elements that I have missed from the first season but now they try to catch up on. =) |
      |
| first episodes sucked, but now it is great |
 |
| poor Saki, it must be a nightmare come true to be pitied by a room full of otakus ;) i'm also having trouble understanding why she doesn't dump him, it seems like a very one sided relationship. |

"I prefer 2D" The whole speech about how eroge's was better than real women... omfg i was rolling on the floor laughing!! ...its sad but true :( [/sarcasm] /me needs a gf like Saki :( And the Oguie cosplay and ero fantasy is classic ^_^  |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Saki's dream was just hilarious... Kinda recognisable too, my boyfriend tents to watch a bit more hentai than I appreciate. XD Overall this episode was surprisingly depressive. I actually wanted something to hyper me up and get me into a good mood, but this little plan didn't really work out. Poor Sasahara... |
cyruz said: I dunno, I found this episode highly entertaining. I laughed a lot. Dream sequences, gags, Sasa x Ogi.. loved it. yes, with saki's dream, and then her reaction to kousaka's news x'D enjoyed watching sasahara's interview, cant wait to see more of sasahara after these Xinil said: mostly about him and his FINALLY SHOWN infatuation with Ogiue. Sasahara x Ogiue gogogo! next episode looks interesting :3 |
 |
| "Yes! I'm baka desu!" XD Kuchiki surely had his moments in this episode XDDD nya, Sunohara's feelings finally revealed~ although his fantasies at the end were kinda scary XDD but I guess it's as Kousaka said, men have to visualise these things in mind while playing to make a better mood XDD |
 |
| Yeah a bit depressing for Sasahara....but he did kind of mess up that interview. |
| Normal episode. The dream was funny :D! The job interview was sad indeed.. Can't wait to watch the next one |
 |
| :O Sasa x Ogi. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Waaaaaaaah~ Poor Saki indeed. I would have given up on him years ago if I were her. They better have did it 10 times together! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| LOL Saki's dream. I wouldn't be surprised even if it wasn't a dream. |
| This episode really hit home for Sasahara |
| I want Sasa x Ogi to happen but think Sasahara might get rejected in the end...though Ogiue has some reaction to him maybe my hopes aren't wasted :) |
 |
| Lol @ Saki's dream. |
 |
| Nothing very exciting or fun in this episode. Just showing us the job search of Sasahara, but it wasn't a bad episode. |
| It would've been so much better if the dream was actually reality that would've been even more hilarious. |
| Decent episode, the moment when he said he's working for a Hentai Game Company xD |
 |
| Meh episode. That final scene was hilarious though. "Put it in". |
