| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh snap, it's Saki. I miss her from the previous series. I just love her expressions though, so nostalgic :3 I want to see her cosplay though. Aww, I feel sorry for Madarame. His interactions with Saki are some of the most amusing I remember even from season 1. |
 |
| You never really totally move on, even if you find someone else. That's why you hear about those romances that rekindle 40 or 50 years after people lost touch with each other. Actually a cousin of mine just got engaged to a guy who was in the same sort of unrequited state of love with her a couple of decades ago in college. He'd never told her, and then they ran across each other by accident and reconnected and the truth came out. For Madarame, if and when he meets someone in the future he will still have Saki in the back of his mind. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| The FEELS T^T Really beautiful episode. Loved the conversation between Saki and Madarame. The emotion with his relief and her tears were really really nicely depicted ^^ Saki's facial expressions were really beautiful this ep. Not much Sue but her screen time was cute as always :D Props to Hato and Keiko setting it up. So nxt ep cosplay overload? XD |
 |
| The second half of the episode had me tearing up a bit. Good for Madarame to get his feelings out. |
 |
| Man, wanted to attack Saki initially, what a bitch in the first section of the episode. But man, some real progression in this ep, was beautiful when she cried because of the relief. But man, saddest part was the end, saying it like it's finally completely over now, the great times they had together and his reason for visiting the club. Great ep! |
| Madarame finally said it, kinda funny though ."you have a hair sticking out of your nose" ☺ satisfied though :) |
| great episode but im wondering how there going to end the season now, i mean allot of people, myself included, who read the manga thought it was going to end with this episode pretty much but now i wonder, are they just going to keep following the manga and hope for another season, some kind of anime only ending or is it just going to be like what happened with the last genshiken season where it just cuts off and you have to read to manga |
| Thought so, it's Saki. I just realized that Saki's voice = Misaka's?? End of Madarame's love to Saki. Kousaka <3 Cosplay ep. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Oh woah, that episode was fantastic. It managed to be a great drama and still pull that hilarious "you had a hair sticking out of your nose" line. It's awesome to see tension that was built up for 2 seasons actually get resolved in this way. But not enough Sue in this episode. Give me more. |
 |
| Great episode. I'm happy Madarame finally got closure, he deserved it after all those years. |
| I'm still a huge fan of MadaXSaki, great to see both of them finally confess their true feelings to each other, hopefully now that things are set he can get with either Sue or Angela(not a fan of HatoMada) or move which he hinted towards early in the episodes, really do miss the original members glad to see them back together in this episode ... Wait was that the first President of the club!! I saw in the previews??!! |
 |
| Wow, amazing. It's been awhile since I've seen an episode of an anime I was so emotionally invested in. From excitement, to shock, to cringing, to sadness. One of my favorite 'confession scenes' I've seen. 5/5 |
 |
| Man.. What a nostalgic episode.. Really been a joy to see so many familiar faces appear in the past episodes. Those Saki expressions alone makes me want to rewatch the previous seasons so bad lol. |
| Pi piru piru piru pipiru pi! |
| loved the episode, my favourite episode of genshiken series so far, it was really enjoyable and at time same time such an emotional episode, it was AWESOME!! madarame & kasukabe is definitely the star of the whole series genshiken, i would have liked to see them go together but oh well an superb episode!! madarame and kasukabe for the win!! |
 |
| That was painfully awkward, but I guess that's part of the point. I prefer this show when it's just humour. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| awhh poor Madarame, really sad episode though it was really needed. |
 |
| I feel sorry for Madarame but I'm glad that his pain has lessened. |
| Finally closure between Madarame and Kasukabe. That was a good episode. Even for me it feels relieving. |
 |
| Poor Mada.......He kind of reminds me of a male version of the MC from Watamote. Sucks to hear that he would have a chance if Saki was not dating already. |
 |
| Wondering why I am crying. Just very sad but a great episode at the same time. Just can't stop from crying when Saki said that if Kohsaka is not around, they might be together. Damn, finally, after how many episodes, Madarame is relieved. Somehow, I want to rewatch the previous seasons just to relieve the old memories of the group esp. Saki and Madarame.. hehe, I am getting emotional now. |
| Hands down my fav Genshikken episode this season :) that touching Saki and Madarame 2nd half really left me happy everything got cleared and although he got rejected he finally got closure. Seeing the whole old crew back made me miss them T___T |
| While I enjoy the new cast of characters, these last few episodes having greater emphasis on the original characters and relationships, have been much better. In addition to providing the outsider and female perspective in the more male-oriented earlier seasons, Saki always managed to push the other characters out of their comfort zone, and provide the catalyst for some change that may not have happened otherwise, i.e., Ohno and Tanaka getting together, Madarame trying to be more fashionable and so on. The earlier cast not being present makes sense, as they've mostly moved onto to new lives and locations, but it would've been nice to see them incorporated more into this season, particularly Sasahara's sister, Saki, and Kousaka. All that aside, it was an excellent episode. |
| Best epd hands down. I almost cried. |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| That was really beautiful Best episode so far |
| That episode was so heartwarming and sentimental I came here to say it. One Madarame to another, STAY STRONG BROTHER! |
| This episode was so bittersweet; and this could be the point of divergence where the history before the beginning of Spotted Flower begins. Poor Mada ... I still want Mada x Saki to happen, but Kousoke I think knew that his bond with Saki was strong enough to give Mada this oppertunity. As I was watching the climactic scene, there were so many event flags that you can see Mada missing. In the end Mada's situation is entirely due to his own actions. Gotta root for the underdog Mada now ... for him to be happy. I know that many here have said in the past that this is the Hato show ... but it really isn't; this episode should show that the story revolves around Mada as much (possibly more so) as it does Hato. |
 |
| having not seen the other season i honestly thought Madarame already confessed and got reject or at least that's the way i saw it still i like that he finally got some closure poor guy. |
 |
| All my feels for this ep T_T. I could relate to Madara so well in thats sitaution... seriously man this was painful for me to watch, I had a pause a few times. The Nose hair thing was great though and helped to ease out the tension. I never knew it was coming because I read the manga, but yeah still great execution. I wonder what they're gonna do with the remaining 2 eps. Honestly I wouldn't have minded if they stopped the season right here. |

| I've got something in my eye. |
| End of the Saki x mada chapter & the beginning of the madarame harem chapter so what are the betting odds for mada x sue, mada x Angela, made x hato and mada x keiko? They covered quite a bit of content this episode, I'd have to double check the manga but I think they adapted 2 chapters in the first half and dedicated one chapter to the confession in the second half. In the manga when Saki was putting together madarame's harem, there were massive panels (about half a page) for Angela, sue and hato but keiko got a tiny panel about one twentieth of the size but they didn't implement that in the anime so... I'm not sure whether I should be disappointed or intrigued why they did that? In manga they made it look like she was the left over or the throw away chance but in the anime she looks like a contender. I hope they adapt the omake chapters, especially if they intend to end the season by the end of the school festival arc. That's just more content they can use. |

| I knew Madarame didn't have any chance but... thats was beautifully done. |
 |
| That was possibly one of the most beautiful confessions I've ever seen, and he didn't even get accepted. Glad the guy's finally got some closure. |
| Watching this episode is really- emotionally touching. I did not know any word to describe this moment. Mada was a character that grow on me during the first season of Genshiken. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Alright, now maybe Angela will have a chance when she next visits! |
 |
| Oh the feels at the end, i feel sorry for Madarame... One of the best episode of Genshiken. |
 |
| When I read a manga, I usually do not watch the anime (or vice versa), but Genshiken Nidaime is an exception, because the anime manages to bring out a melancholic kind of feeling and also a pleasant feeling. |
| A tear of joy was shed. |
| Wow, by far my favourite Genshiken episode, and the whole confession scene in the latter part of the episode... Has to be one of my favourites ever. It just shows that when you're already attached to any given character, their emotions can be more easily felt. Madarame has been an awesome character in this series, and i thought that he'd never get the opprotunity to actually confess. But, how he swallowed his own doubts, just so that he could seize the moment his friends created for him, was amazing. And How Kasekabe dealt with him was just... It made me shed a few tears. Seeing as though i can relate with Madarame makes it even more emotional for me. ThousandEyes said: I loved that dramatic scene between Madarame and Kasukabe. Madarame is my favourite Genshiken character. His "Buy everything and worry about money later" philosophy as an otaku still makes me laugh to this day. It's sad and touching how much the original members have changed and at the same time not so much. Madarame just seems to be like that guy that doesn't feel exactly the same as he did in his youthful days without really knowing why. I forget which episode it was, but he said something like that. I feel the same. "It was fun." And that relief...T_T I wouldn't like Nidaime if Madarame wasn't in it. Glad he is. ^my thoughts exactly ^^ |
| Best.... episode.... of.... Genshiken.... EVER!!!! That is all. |
| Prolly one of the best episodes this season, loving this season. |
 |
| YES! THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! (and no, I don't mean for Hato to admit he's gay for Madarame lol) This was def. my favorite part of the new material from the manga, though to be honest, since this is supposed to be a 12 ep series, wouldn't this have been a good way to end the season (hence the episode title lol) |
| Best episode, seriously. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Wow that was great! Saki and Madarame ending this way They got the emotions so right |
