| 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 |
| One thing I did notice that kinda bugged me was when Saki mentions "the one time they all went over to Madarame's room and he was hiding S&M dvds in his desk" that part was in the original manga of course, however, in the original anime 1st series (episode 12) that follows those accounts (being that they go to each club members place to hang out due to Saki accidentally starting the fire that got them banned from clubroom) they only show a brief moment of them being at Madarame's place (in which that particular exchange was left out due to time restraints I'm assuming.) Also, when they are alone in the club and he tells her about the nose hair, she said that when she asked him about it long ago he said he forget about it (again, that was in the manga but not in anime, UNLESS, the OVA that's rumored to come out later that will be the tie-in between end of Genshiken 2 and Nidaime will contain that scene, I sure hope it does!) So I dunno, I'm usually not as anal retentive about continuity but for some reason that kinda got my attention when that was mentioned in this ep since it technically never happened in the anime continuity... |

| It was the scene I was waiting for the most. It made me feel so nostalgic. |
| That was beautiful, and it hit really close to home. Madarame finally gets the closure he needed after all those years. *sobs* |
 |
| Oooh that ending sure was suiting! Really nice they did rounded that connection off and well they surely did it quite proper! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| Great episode ! It has the most re-watched value so far, for me. :p |
| This episode made me almost cry when saki said that she and mada could have a future together. I wasn´t expecting a reaction from me like this in this anime. Really good serie |
| Wow, that was a great climax. I was a bit worried that this part would get corny or melodramatic, and I found it quite a relief that it was neither. |
| Such a beautiful episode... T_T made me feel very nostalgic! I was very happy to see all the original members together once again! Loved that pic from the ending showing Saki x Madarame at the sushi bar! |
| As much as I despise the voice changes, I can't deny that this episode was amazing and filled with emotion. Madarame has always been The Main Character throughout all the series, and more importantly the most interesting and well liked. That includes emotional depth, attributes, strengths, and mainly weaknesses that we all can relate to. His unrequited love and feelings for Saki have surprising depth to them. |
| Madarame will move on and create his own har3m now! |
 |
| Saki! Haven't seen her in a while. They got Madarame and Saki alone! He was shot down but he feels good now. I weight has been lifted for him and her. All's good. Good epiosde. |
| That end scene between Saki and Mada, loved it. While this season isn't as good as the previous 2, that is one of my favourite scenes in all of Genshiken, fantastic. I got a bit emo when Saki started tearing up. |
| Been waiting for this moment since years ago :') The ship failed, but I'm happy tho :') antonnn said: That end scene between Saki and Mada, loved it.
