Edit: Wha.... wow, wait: The game even exists ... It's a bit sad to realize that this otherwise excellent episode is also a sort of commercial for the game. |

That's a joke site that's acting as if it exists. As you notice, the copyright goes to Kio Shimoku. There is, however, a drama CD of Pretty Mennma coming out as well as some cameo appearance in the extras of DVD of Genshiken 2. The casting for the drama CD has the same cast as the main three girls from SOS-dan of Haruhi. Which was no doubt intentional, considering the nature of series. However, just like Kujibiki Unbalance, I wouldn't be surprised if they really make the game somewhere down the road.

I haven't bothered to read the copyright, my eyes only crossed the name of the illustrator and the news section. I'm actually surprised japanese creators do such fake sites at all. |

THis episode was just well damn good at this point i dont know if there can ever be a Genshiken episode that is truely bad. So we now have our 2nd official couple with Ohno and Tanaka. I must say Tanaka is one lucky bastard Ohno was all over him at the end like white on rice. Any otaku would give their right arm for their girlfriend to cosplay for sex and she ANYTIME thats H O T T.
Now Im just holding my breath for the 3rd couple to get together but after Ogiue stated to Sasahara that nothing good comes from Otaku relationships. That statement alone would make it hard for any otaku to approch her let alone him.

But isn't it against Ohno's cosplaying principles to cosplay during sex in the first place?
I think it's related to the idea of being in-character (or true to the character) or something like that. Now, on the other hand, if the character happens to be from an ero title... |

It's interesting that this episode played out pretty much in an opposite fashion from the manga, where they were already together and kept Saki in the dark for as long as possible so she wouldn't try to meddle in their business. But I guess I can't fault the show too much for it, since the script is by the author himself. |

Spoiler for manga:
I guess I like the anime version better, as it shows as the obstacle between Tanaka and Ono before they got together. We get to see some solid stuff in their relationship, and it's kind of like a little preview for the next otaku couple in Genshiken! and yay for Genshiken 2! finally we get to see more of Sasahara. He wasn't that much of a main character in the 1st season. |

I've only watched episode 1 of the 2nd season, and with all this talk about what happens at the end, I just had to find out what was going on. That scene was just intense, even for someone who's been there done that. That has to be one gutsy move, and I think because of this, Genshiken has jumped up to become one of two most favorite anime of all time. It was already getting there due to the OAV's, but I'm a sucker for real slice-of-life shows (ie Hachikuro). Hopefully this will be a good setup for the final couple to form, ironically with some help...

By anyway, in episode 4, the interaction and character development is quite interesting. I however can't understand why people would judge others based on their breast size. But that's Japanese culture for you. Regarding Ogiure claims that otaku shouldn't date another otaku, I can only agree partially. Indeed, if both couples shares the same knowledge, their world view can be quite narrow and limited. Nevertheless, having the same hobby will definitely reduce conflicts due to differences in values, which is really important for people who live together. It is not easy to live with people with different set of value, especially when they are imposing theirs on others directly or indirectly (such as concluding others' thought-pattern). Does anyone know if a subforum will be created for Genshiken 2? It would make discussion about each episode easier. Genshiken is said to be very popular too, so it wouldn't be unreasonable. |
