Hahahah poor Madarame being considered a "bottom". His expression was priceless. Gotta love the Madoka references too. This is going better than what i expected...i really wonder which couples we're gonna see this season (Hato/Angelax Mada lol).

Great, "I'm THE BOTTOM!? XD". Loving the cosplaying and Sue, but man I've got a hard time understanding Sue, why'd she get so angry?
Was actually hoping Madarame and the other blonde could make some progress, man wish she wasn't so playful and could be more serious about him.

Maybe that is the problem, Angela is not serious about Madarame, she hasn't asked him his email address or phone number or instant messaging address, she only wants to have a one night stand with him, half of it is about trying to get Madarame to forget Kasukabe, half of it is because Angela wants to have a taste of a real life uke ^^;

For someone who was supposed to be a supporting character, Madarame is getting a surprising amount of air and plot time--not that I'm complaining, I really would like to see him get a happy ending with either Saki or Angela. Of course Madarame isn't helping himself by continuing to wallow in self-pity and regrets over Saki (not that I haven't spent a couple of years doing the same thing). Anyway, I'm thinking this version of Genshiken may turn out to be the best yet...
Please don't feed the trolls!

Man, Madarame sure was in a tight spot, feel for the guy. Angela wasn't serious about him, so Hato did kinda save him.
I'm still thinking that Sue might like Madarame

Again, Sue won whole episode :D "Yankee go home"

Fun episode, I even saw Psycho Pass cosplay in the distance ;D

When Hato started his "Maddarame is a bottom" speach there was that vocaloid music playing like in 3rd episode. Enybody know what is the tittle of this song?

Angela is getting near Madarame alot. Ohno is too excited about cosplaying today. Hato decided to go with guys and not cosplay Madoka as male ver.

According to the CM, the OVA is about Hatsumoude? Why don't I remember it from manga, or is it original?

Kousaka!! lol @ Hato vs. Suzanne, and ended up talking BL. Scary Sue! lol @ Madarame after ED.

How could you all miss the fact that Madarame was completely offput by Angela being so aggressive. Hato and Sue were actually helping him, as he wanted no part of her. He even thanked them in the end or should they have let her force herself on him, despite the fact he wanted no part of it?

Context is very important people. Pay more attention next time.

This was a good episode, and kept with the manga very well, but would have been so improved with the original voice actors, IMHO, for example
The cosplay and other references are great, but this episode really gets into Mada's head, which IMHO can only be a good thing, given that his character is in a period in his life where he is coming to terms with being a salary man and an otaku which apparently can't really coexists. I can relate as my coworkers form an impression, rightly or wrongly, of me cause I attend San Diego Comic-Con which maybe something that Mada wishes to avoid, especially the negative stigma some in mainstream Japan place upon anime fans.

Oh, gotta question, there was once an AMV which told the story of Mada x Saki very well using the song "Clubhouse Sandwich" by Yuumao as its basis (and which was one of Genshiken 2's ending songs), but I am having trouble finding it now :( Anyone know where I can find it?

Sigh, anyways, this was a so-so ep for me (esp. since I have yet to see Madoka Magica so I didn't rly get/appreciate the cosplay/reference) however, I really didn't like how Hate was giving monologue over/during Angela's speaking about her views on one-night stands (seriously Hato, stop talking/thinking while Angela's talking!)

Poor Mada.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

The depiction of the crowds at Comiket is pretty accurate.

Lots of English LOL

Cosplay of Madoka is fabulous, especially Mami and Anko (and Madoka too). Indeed Ono is too big (stature wise and chest wise) to play Homura LOL

Getting Hato to cosplay Charlotte of IS is pretty smart.

And those Muromi-san reference....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

If Madarame hooked up with Angela he would've moved on from his crush on Saki. There is no point waiting for a love that will never be reciprocated. Saki has the perfect boyfriend. He has no chance at all.

Agreed. I was really hoping something would happen (haven't read the manga). I thought the cockblock was both annoying and suuuuper awkward to watch. Very bizarre of Madarame not standing up for himself.

What you both fail to realize is that there are two paths:

1. Madarame has a one night stand with Angela, he keeps loving Saki afterward and now feels like a loser and a cheater.

2. Madarame falls in love with Angela after a one night stand, she goes back to the USA since unlike Sue she has no intentions of living in Japan, Madarame now is even in a worst position since obviously Angela is not in love with him (she just wants a taste of uke) so even if he followed her to the USA, nothing good will come out of it.

As you can see, both paths are bad endings, that is why Madarame resists to swallow the posion pill.

I don't get this. I'm on Angela's side.
All are acting like Sue and Hato saved Madarame and they're treating Angela as being aggressive or impolite. But I think it's the otherway around. It's totally rude to interfere into other people's relationships. Even if Angela wasn't serious about Madarame, It should be up to Madarame to decide whether he wants this 'one night stand' or not. I think 'It would be a memorable experience in his life'. What does Hato offer Madarame in return? To remain in (hopeless) love with his friend's gf??? To let him be lonely and helpless? Good job, 'friends'. I like Hato a lot less after this episode.
But the reason why I'm writing this is that I'm confused about their moral judgements. Can somebody explain? And react to my arguments? Especially what do they offer as an alternative to Madarame?
