Freakin' hilarious first episode. Oh man, I could not stop laughing when Kucchi hit the new girl on the head. Omg, freakin' awesome. *dies of laughter*

The whole episode was hilarious as a matter of fact. Ogi-chin getting caught on picture...then he's like VIDEO TOO. Omg, rofl.

Check this out if you haven't yet. Watch the TV episodes first of course.

I noticed that the animation was poorer, yeah. I think they upped the comedy though. I definitely didn't laugh that hard in the TV series.

Yeah it took me a while to get used to the different animation, I definitely liked the Tv series' animation better, and yeah Ohno's personality has notably changed, she indeed acts more open and confident. Anyways I loled my butt off in this episode, and the in-the-closet otaku girl is a nice new edition to the club^^,

Weird...
Animation is different.

Censorship is annoying too, though you could almost always guess what they were saying :D

I don't like the new guy though, I hope he leaves...

What happened to their plan of making a douijin for comifes though, is Kanji still the pres?

Anyone else notice there were like five of what appeared to be Full Metal Alchemist doujinshis in the pile? Or am I the only FMA nut? There were probably other series in there that I don't know.

Yes, Ogiue is the best, she was perfectly done, and I love her just as much as I did in the manga. This episode was really funny, I enjoyed its pace a lot more than the tv series.

*head asplodes from drastic art change*

Oh well, I actually found the humor to be quite great, For some reason when they aren't picking on Saki's disgust of otaku, it's quite good. Ogiue and Ohno were great as rivals.

I liked the different animation style! Well, it's to be expected really.

But all that pales in comparison to OGIUE! Yey! She is here at last! When reading the manga, even though I really liked the Saki/Sasahara parts that constitute the first series, its Ogiue that really makes this show for me!

Ohno changed in the way I don't like - it's ok that she is now more open, but she always have been calm and kind person, and now she didn't even bother about that new girl trying to jump through the window. In the whole episode was ok. Nothing special.

Really great episode. I really liked how they referenced the Kujibiki Unbalance remake saying they "didn't expect it to take off" and of course the reason it did take off was Genshiken itself!

Tbh, the artwork kinda turned me off from this OVA as I thought the original series did it right. Other than that, I loved th new OP song!

Lmao @ Ogiue this episode. Those fucking censors funny dialogues. Oh God, I love this already. So hilarious~

The artstyle took a hit. It's more simplistic and flat now, especially in the hair. The backgrounds look better now.

The comedy is still there though, and it's very entertaining.
