Spoiler:

maybe the president didnt know anything at the begining and just tried to test her by beeing very vague; aniway it doesnt matter cause im sure that saki chan isnt the pervert type

[tatsit]

Erm, i still dont really get it, on episode 5, what does it mean when..

Spoiler:

the chairman says "i'm in a bind.. if i was that kind of a person, there'd be a lot of people too embarrassed to stick around at this university... But you havent met anyone like that, have you?" then saki went shocked and so on.. Also the 'thing' that saki did with kohsaka, could it be something ero ero?

Spoiler:

Well, even if the president was bluffing he did strike a nerve, didn't he?

Saki sure isn't the "perverted" type as you say. After all, it can be easily said that she despises perverts. However she's also the type of woman who's comfortable with her sexuality. She must have done it with Kohsaka at least once by now. And in my opinion, it's pretty obvious that something sexual did happen back in the club room. Perhaps the real question is: "how far did they go?" or "how much did the president see?"

Spoiler:

It was his way of implicitly letting Saki know that he was blackmailing her. In other words, "I won't tell so that you won't be embarrassed. I won't tell so that you won't leave. Unless..."

And as for what could've have possibly happened between Saki and Kohsaka in the club room--you're free to come up with your own conclusions, but for me (I'm not alone in this for sure..) it was definitely something ero ero.

Let's read between the lines for that part.

Spoiler:

The pointer is "lots of people too embarrased to stick around at this university" ("they will be ashamed to come back to school") and "but you haven't met anyone like that...have you?"

If you still don't get it, learn "dark" sarcasm.

For the joke at the end of ep 5

Spoiler:

What he is trying to say is "The people who I leaked their secret are too embarass to ever come to the university ever again. Do you want to be like them?"

Ha! Another great episode.

Spoiler:

It is pretty obvious that the chairman has cameras all over the place since he told Saki to avoid the restrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors as well as the club room.

That proves nothing. It might simply be part of a bluff.

[dreamless]

actually, later on in the manga it shows

Spoiler:

the chairman most likely does not have cameras planted in the room. I think the most feasible explanation is that the chairman is an alien and use psionic powers to monitor everything in school. or he's just the omnipotent and omniscient God.

[tatsit]

Ah.. ok, thanks, i think i get it..

[wao]

Ahhhhh, crap, I'm getting high on the School Rumble OP... nevermind,

Anyway: This is my theory regarding why the creepy eye-white-less chairman knows everything and yet nobody knows whether he really has cameras placed in various places....

The chairman is not an omnipotent god or an alien, he is

Spoiler:

THE MANGAKA!!

That is why he knows everything.

[dreamless]

what mangaka is to manga, is what God is to Creation

Or he could simply be just one hell of a dedicated peeping tom.

Reaaallly dedicated.

[Archaic]

Given that he's probably the one who came up with the "test" for new entrants, somehow that doesn't seem doubtful.

Seriously? That is/would be seriously cool.......................

Thats what i may have thougt but ....

Spoiler:

Like u said saki seems to be comfortable with her sexuality ,everyone in genshiken or at their university know their , so even if she did it , she wont be ashamed of it .
More importantly , khosaka seems to be totaly insensitive , he s only interested by anime and games (just watch after the ed of ep 4 and ull see that their relaitionship havnt evolved at all ) , thats the reasons that let me suggest that she didnt do it with kohsaka .
However , after watching ep 4 , i suppose that the only thing that she may have done with khosaka and that ashamed her that much is cosplaying ( maybe the only way she found to attract khosaka ).

I suppose....

Well, whatever floats your boat buddy.

Spoiler:

You might want to check out episode 6. (?) By then, maybe your opinions may change with regard to how far Kohsaka and Saki have gone. Then again, maybe not. I mean seriously, she wanted to spend time with him in a love hotel remember? And Kohsaka does respond nicely to Saki...that is, if anime or gaming aren't on the top his mind in that particular moment. Which leads me to say that I do believe their relationship has evolved, albeit in a strange and funny way. After all, they do have their moments.

Yes, she's indeed comfortable with her sexuality, which means she's also aware of her sexual needs--but dude..! This is a probable peeping tom we're talking about--who may or may have not gotten his fix by watching and stalking people as they go about their private lives. Saki being shy about the fact that she has done it isn't the point here, but the possibility that someone from the outside has intruded in her private sex life. And that's what she found annoying and what she detests.

Besides, why would she be totally shy about cosplaying to the point that she would quit college if it ever got out? (In fact, she does cosplay later on. ) Now Saki may hate otaku dorkdom as if it were a disease, but I don't think she would go that far--considering that her ex already saw her in nekomimi mode anyway. In fact, it's definitely more likely (and realistic) that she would be drop dead embarrassed if pictures of her in the middle of the act would ever get out.

Arrgh...! I feel this is going to be drawn out too long. (And I guess I played a part in this...) You can draw your own conclusions. Let's just leave it at that.

Time will tell what has transpired in the club room

Now for something completely different:



I know I should post this in fanart, but I think it'll be appreciated best here . It's an illustration done by my friend Claire for an illustration doujinshi we're putting together for next Comiket (it's going to be a very basic reproduction job, just b/w photocopies). We'll cover a lot of series we like and there'll be both English and Japanese text. It's always nice to be able to trade your work with others.

If you don't get the joke, you probabely haven't seen FMA (I strongly feel we should also do a pic of the proposed Saki-Kohsaka / Millia-Bridget cosplay pair )

Ha to understand.. you truly would be part of the Genshiken...

I saw one fanart piece where Saki cosplays as Millia and Kohsaka as Ky.

One of the fun things in Genshiken is seeing these characters cosplay other characters from other works.

[wao]

The ED single is out, I loooove the ED so much... the song that came with it is odd though, it's 17 min 53 sec and has a song in the beginning and then the middle is all blank and then there's a small guitar-accompanied song at the back. Oh well.
