Sue looks good in anything tbh~ she has epic fighting skills too.

I'm going to miss this series. Wait, where's that onsen episode? Oh there it is. Damn, that looks relaxing tbh. 8/10. I hope for another season in the future.

Hato went hiding? and no OP. Anime original end?

Ano Machi de Matteru reference! Field trip to onsen! Oh, wow, old way to send message. Private talk between Ogiue and Hato. lol @ FukuJun's character, and Sue is so strong!

It's nice that Hato and Madarame had a talk about the future.

I really like Genshiken, but this whole season just didn't feel enough like the original two for me to really get into it. Maybe it was the change of voice actors, maybe it was the slightly better animation. Who really knows though, all I can say is that I was a bit let down. However, this last episode was definitely one of the best.
Sadly, this show gets a 7/10 from me. I'll watch it again, but only because I love Genshiken 1 and 2 so much.

Epic scene!! When Manubu starts running like that Kawaii Titan and getting his ass handed Super Sue Style! KO! <-- couldn't stop laughing
Sue really wants her Hato x Mada scene but keeps getting her plans backfired by Manubu..

Really hope they have a season 4!!

well it was an alright with an fun attack on titan joke but i feel like the whole hato x mada thing wasn't resolved at all, hope it gets another season to fix this or a couple OVA episodes, if not at-least its a decent ending compared to the original ending of genshiken 2

Lol the attack on titan reference was brilliant! XD Really loved this season, didn't progress much in terms of relationships, would have liked some relationships to develop but no new male characters make it difficult. Would really like another season, hopefully focused on madarame finding the perfect girl for him. Can't decide on 7 or 8 out of 10

Edit: Dammit, hate it like this, would give it 7/10 for the season but the hundreds of times I must have listened to the OP. ED which are both great makes me feel generous. Ah hell 7+1/10

A fittingly mediocre finale. I had some fun with this series, but it wasn't particularly interesting or original. 4/10

Sue won this season. Best arc was Madarame and Saki's love closure, I still hope they'll get together though, like in spotted flower :)

Hato's arc was lame, same as in manga. It's not really my thing and it's shame that it continue in manga. I hope it will sell well and get another season :)

Final episode was avarage, big hit with Madarame and Saki scene made that two last episode go without bang. But fanservice was fun.

Genshiken Nidaime is its own beast, I had my doubts coming in to this show and that went away by epd 2. The way everything left off Im 90% sure we will get another season within the next 2 or so years.

That was a pretty cheap finale honestly. You could see some definite cutting around corners in the visuals (some of it was practically a slideshow). It was also pretty rushed; Madarame's unemployment hardly gets addressed and resolved, and Hato's dilemma with crossdressing/BL/homosexuality is concluded too quickly (all in the event of this one episode).

And what about Sue's crush on Madarame? Even the manga just barely finished resolving all these issues. It's a little much to put this all on the final episode.

I liked the episode I guess... Its not so much that they tied up loose ends, but that they are tied up in a way that doesn't make me think there would be a 2nd season. :/

RUUUUN ITS AN ABNORMAL!

oh wait nm, Sue-li has got this taken care of

best scene of the whole ep lol show starts with a sue monogatari ref (best reference also, an a few references after in following eps) in ep 1, an ends with an SnK "vs" Street fighter on the last ep

will agree tho, the first 2 seasons were better, an this season actually felt like genshiken when saki an the sister finally showed up in the last 3 or so eps

-YUP, Sue is DA BEST
-I was eating while watching this final EP and I almost throw up everything while laughing at Kuchiki Titan and Sue's awesome fighting skills.


I miss Ogiue's personality, and her hairstyle, it was weird but I liked it, and the changes in seiyuus... well Madarame's voice mostly, was the only one that threw me off, but still, although I liked the previous seasons better, I really enjoyed this one, now to the manga...
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good...

The Attack on the Titan really cracked me up... then with Sue's killer martial arts, just added more fun to the scene! I preferred the previous 2 episodes than this last episode though.

I'd really want to see an episode where Oguie and Sasahara became a couple though... the flashback scenes when they went on a trip with the old gang.

Favorite male and female character this season of Genshiken: Kuchiki and Sue. They basically made the whole show funny!

Ohno-senpai completely drunk and naked in this episode ... moves to 7/10 ^_^

Haven't read the manga, but I can't say I enjoyed the anime all that much. Mostly because Hato feels weak for a main character and seriously walked on my nerves on many occasions. The other newcomers were fine as a combo, looked good in the fun parts.

Glad that Madarame and the old cast moves forward.

For a series finale that was to be I guess a stand-alone (not reflect any of the manga material, except when they talked about the last time they went on trip during Sasa and Ogiue's hook up) I guess I feel kinda indifferent about how this ended. I guess they weren't approved for more eps/another season so best to just to end it now than to leave off on a cliffhanger (I hate when anime does that!)
Though who knows, it took so many yrs for Genshiken to get another anime so maybe if the manga keeps going and provides enough material for them to pick back up on with another anime, we'll see the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture make a comeback! Otherwise, throughout this whole new anime series, the highlight def. came from this ep where we saw Kuchiki do his Attack on Titan stroll in the hall until Sue took him out (SNK style!!!)

ahhh such a good series and ending episode.

i loved that kuchiki titan reference. all in all i liked this way more than i thought i would have, especially with the voice actor changes. i think the changes were fine because 1. the actors did well, and 2. it has been a while (in the manga and in real life).
the opening and ed were great as well. an adaptation well done.

also a small watamote reference from sue! http://puu.sh/4DPWJ.jpg

Great homages, some character development.
Does anyone have the ratings for this past season? Are they better or worse then the previous series?

And even if we don't get another anime, we get the great continuation of the manga!

It was good season and good ending. Unfortunately it was nothing more then that, especially compared to previous generation. Unlike previous one everything is centred around Hato as main character and I would like know more about other cast like Rika or Mirei. There is one plot line around Madarame X Saki, but that's all and it's also part of Hato growth. Seeing more about RameHarem could be good too.

I could never call it masterpiece or must watch. But it's good one and quite solid at it. I liked it a lot and surely i can recommend for others. For me it's 8/10

Haha, Sue and Kuchiki had so many lines this episode
it might have doubled compared to the entire run so far
And none of them were bad, the Street Fighter sketch was hilarious

The hot spring talk between Madarame and Hato was fabulous
Rame: "No matter how you look or act, you'll always be an Otaku inside"

So sad this show is not so popular due to drastic changes and to the Voice Cast as well,
but it didn't bother me at all

Hoping for continuation ^_^

This episode was unnecessary. Fanservice overload isn't something one should do at the end of the series, but halfway through the show. This felt just like a normal episode, it had no conclusion at all and was too open. It basicly sucked ***.

Anyways, the show as a whole gets a 7/10 from me. Nowhere even near the score I gave the original show (10/10), but it's still nice to see some action from Madarame. That Saki scene in the previous episode made it all worth it. Some voices annoy me, but the show is still "good".
