What?! You serious? She's like the best character in Genshiken. and most people would agree too.

Are you serious? Is Saki Kasukabe we are talking about? She's absolutely necessary for the anime. And personally, I enjoyed her involvement.

Watch Genshiken 2 if you haven't already done so.

Dont worry I saw through and she got better.

But I felt sorry for Madarame-san cause he liked her.
She's still pretty shallow for going after Kohsaka just for looks though

You're not supposed to like her (at first). She's the villain. =)

Well, she's okay but I find her lack of apology annoying whenever she screws things up for the other club members.

Now... I don't really like her, but I found it interesting IF she happened to like cosplaying... :D
I forgot, which episode where she does cosplays as "Kaichou"...

Frankly, she was the highlight of the series. As was Madarame.

Aww, I loved Saki. She and Madarame were my favorite characters. Without her the show wouldn't have been as interesting.

I'm not finished with the series yet, but I hate her a lot. She's bitchy. All I want is for someone to call her out on her ridiculous bullshit, like every time she tries to sabotage the club or directly goes against someone's wishes to further her own goals. She's selfish, she only started dating Kohsaka because she thought he was attractive and then expected him to change to suit her.

In fact that's a big problem with her. She expects everyone around her to change or move out of the way to bend to her whims, and it makes her extremely unlikable to me.

It's true that she's very important to the story, but as a character and as a person I can't stand her. I keep waiting for her to get her just desserts and it doesn't happen.

It is not that Saki is shallow, it is that she has no opening to break up. Think about it, her boyfriend is not only a good looking lover, he is a hard worker, smart, etc. Usually when you break up is because there is a great defect, like smoking, violent behavior, etc so if anything is Kohsaka is the one that could say "I am fed ip with your shenanigans, take a hike". It is obvious Saki is no longer infatuated with him, otherwise she would be pestering him to marry her (in Japan quite often adults marry or break up after a year). She might even have developed feelings for Madarame, but she probably can't accept them herself, much less tell to Madarame.

This series wouldn't have been enjoyable if she was absent. To me, she's arguably the deuteragonist of Genshiken. Is she a bitch? Probably but so what shows need someone who isn't a Mary Sue.

The contrast between the characterization of Madarame and Kasukabe is one of the highlights of Genshiken.
