| Feeling another season :P, Im going to miss watching this, 10/10. Anyone have a leak on the vocaloid song? I know everyone wants it :( |
| Was that an attack on titan reference? And lol Sue is just the best character from this season :p Pretty decent ending and like always an open ending so well will we see another season? Either way a pretty decent season a bit weird and out of atmosphere but when all the old characters returned the old atmosphere came back and better than ever! |
 |
| Madarame x Kousaka FTW~ I want more of those awesome scenes~ |
| Was that a Berserk reference? Anyway, the ending seemed a little open, but it was a great season overall. I'm looking forward to the OVA in december and hopefully it will get another season sometime as well. |
| i laughed out loud at shingeki no kyojin's reference XD |
 |
| Just Finished it. Not bad but not good either, the ending was kinda empty for me. 7/10. |
| As a whole, I liked Second Generation. The ending was a bit abrupt, however, and I'm praying for another season or at least some OVAs to give it some proper closure. The only issue I had other than that was the change in voice actors. They just weren't as fitting as the ones from seasons one and two. |
| I loved this anime, I think older seaons was a bit better I liked dirty graphic while nidame style was too bright, but nidame had more reffers to recent anime, so score is balanaced I give 8/10 for all seasons. I expect continuation!! |

| Just finished watching the entire Genshiken series in almost 1 go. However much i enjoyed Nidaime, the club just never felt the same since everyone left and got jobs. All the BL and voice actor changes doesn't really bother me (apart from Madarame..) but the original club was such a better story. All through that season i felt slightly sad at times, like Madarame wanting to go back to the old days. All in all great series. |

| Wow, that was a crappy ending. Pretty much nothing was resolved. |
| And now it's over. I'm going to miss this. Not sure how far the source material is, but I hope it gets another season; one can't get enough of Sue's antics. That said, I think they kinda left things hanging with Hato and Madarame. The old cast could have used a bit more screen time, but given how little screen time the new members got (except for Hato), I suppose that's not much to complain about. |
| It was tolerable even with the massacre of the previous Seiyu, as well as the greatly altered character art/designs (not flattering). It had some interesting episodes and scenes, but its undeniably weaker than the Originals. I will give this a 8/10 due to the heavy Madarame focus and the Madarame x Saki episode. Only "new" character i liked was Sui, and the only character i liked in all seasons was Madarame. The huge downgrade for his Seiyu was tolerable since as long as the design was largely unchanged and the personality intact and true to the manga, even if he was voiced by a Diseased Pigeon i'd like him. |
| started out well and kind of died out towards the end.... had me started doubting myself why I didn't enjoy first 2 seasons early on.. but then again, I'm a sucker for cross-dressing genre (no homo) |
 |
| IT OVER! That Attack on Titan reference at 13:00! That made me laugh! That was a awesome combo that Sue did to Kuchiki. I think it was Chun-Li from Street Fighter. Lots of fanservice this episode! I loved how when Ohno was laughing in the water her boobs were making ripples in the water. I would like another season. |
| I simply adored the first two seasons (+ the OVAs), however, I only just got round to finishing up the series thanks to me being horrendously put-off by the change in voice actors when it first aired. tapanda said: 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. Yup. I think the reason is because they went away from group focused activities that allowed the viewer to learn more about Otaku culture and instead focused more on the character development. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just different. ...also, did anyone else get the K-On! movie reference with Sue at the train station? (^.^;) Seriously, I wonder if anyone has managed to compile a list of all the references made in this show. |
| Even in this third season, not tuti the chickens come home to roost, but still I attend to a disruption of the story. Not that it's a bad thing, since it benefits from the narrative and the plot at the end. Story that stays true to its characteristic, that narrate the events through a rhythm typical of the genre SOL, with a clear advantage on the events that seem natural in the way they are enjoyed by the viewer and so are not corrupt by omissions or haste in concluding an action, except perhaps the last events. I was really happy for the consistency shown in all seasons, about the involvement and interest in the history, which often fails in anime. I am satisfied with the work done by the IG Productions, it has given the technical quality and graphics, which had been lacking in the past, so as to become this full show from all points of view. The only drawback to all this for her, is the change of voice actors and the beginning of the series took place without telling some highlights. A little sin that became widely forgive throughout its use, why my vote although somewhat lower than expected is 8.5 / 10! I look forward to the fourth season and is at the same level or higher than this third season. |

| I'm too consumed by the titan reference scene in this episode to spot any flaw. lol, it was just so hilarious. at first introduction (season 1) i thought kuchiki would be a pain in the ass character. but as story develop and progress, he's so hilarious and not annoying at all. |
| And that's Genshiken. I'm not sure what I expected from this series. Perhaps something along the lines of Lucky Star that devolved into Welcome to the NHK. Instead, it was more closer to Bakuman, just with more eccentricities to it. Of course, the second season was the outlier, where it went a bit too far in some respects, but was still an okay part in of itself. With the second generation members, we lost most of the older characters and got some fresh new faces in. The second season was understandably dramatic, as the older members finally became full-fledged members of society, whether they wanted to or not. There's a lot of drama attached to it, so to amend the story, the new faces provided much needed energy and enthusiasm to both the club and the anime. So yeah, I definitely enjoyed Genshiken all the way. Also, I'm definitely saving this image for future use.  |
| I'm gonna start reading the manga very soon. And I really hope we'll get a new season! |

Did they change, I didn't notice. Also I checked the voice actors for the characters, they are all the same so it looks lie they didn't change. |
| 10/10, PLEASE MAKE MOAR! I loved absolutely everything about this season in general. Finally a look at the 腐女子 side of the otaku culture. I personally LOVE BL, and I was really excited to see it get some exposure in the mainstream. I LOVE HATO-CHIN!!! |
| 落下のように、いつも落ちる。いつか救われることができるのかな？ または落ち続けるでしょうか？永遠に |
| Nice ending, I feel bad about Madarame overall though, I hope he finds a girl. |
 |
| Ah yeah.. That trip Aka that skipped trip because the anime skipped many things :P "I'm sorry, can anybody who's not gay leave?" Sue is so random xD "Nyohohoho"???? I just remembered Koro-sensei :( Is that Attack on Titan reference? xD Aww that's was a nice ending... for this season Need another season to wrap it all up! Come on! When? I guess this anime didn't get enough popularity to get another season :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| Apart from the BL centered people, this was really good Already knew about SNK parody by YT thumbnails, but it was gold lol Saki x Mada closure dried my tears 9/10 for me |
 |
| Ah, my 5th re-watch Komplete. The author have been doing Genshiken IF, I'm predicting Genshiken Nidaime 2 will be available by 2022 or it will by game over for good. |
| . |
| Overall, a solid season. Doesn't have the same atmosphere as the first two seasons for obvious reasons, namely the lack of the original characters and the amount of BL fangirling ever present in the series. Still had it's moments and laughs. I wanted more in regards to Oguie and Sasahara's relationship, they seemed to skip a lot of their progress unfortunately. Hato was a great character and Madarame's struggles were finely shown. The rest were decent or downright shit like Kuchiki. Sue was simply along for the ride and one trick pony (a good one at that), though I kinda wish she played a bigger and possibly more developed/mature role. I think that OVA poster caught me off guard (the on with Sue on Madarame's shoulders). 7/10. |
| what an infuriating downgrade. nidaime should have never been made. |
| :v |
| Overall, I enjoyed this season a lot. Again, I don't particularly remember what happened in season one, as I think I watched it when it was airing and just never managed to pick up any of the sequels. But, I felt like this season just ran more smoothly. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) It was nice to get some personal moments between characters this season too. Like there were a lot of touching moments that provided growth and emotional payoff, especially for me, the viewer. I think this series definitely does a good job of development. That's why I think some of the better moments are here at the end, where we see all the older characters sort of settling into their future selves. Also, finally, this episode we got some fanservice from the new characters. Rika playing with boobs ftw. I'll probably check out the manga eventually. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Amazing episode and series! I would love to have some more but it's time to part ways, I guess. I will miss the theme songs, the characters, and the wholesome atmosphere of this story. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| just finished rewatching it. gonna read the manga again <3 |
 |
| Seems like Production I.G. knows what's up, ending the season with an onsen anime-original like that. They're a veteran when it comes to this industry, after all, xD. K-On reference with that "Tachikawa" wordplay (London in the case of K-On). Plus, Kuchii's AOT titanic run and Sue's street fighter KO. All these references hit the spot, good stuff. As good as Hato-chan is good at cross-dressing, it is sad that there will indeed come a time when he'll have to give that up. Madarame quitting last episode was kind of a surprise and I really hope that he does end up getting something he's more interested in. I'll check out the manga of the series, so guess I'll just find out then. Interesting new characters we got this season, Rika-chan in particular was hyper and really fun to keep up with. I feel like Madarame-san got a lot of focus this season and it was honestly the pick of the lot for me! Especially that episode of him confessing to Kusakabe-san, that was so good ~ Feels like the series skipped over Oguie and Sasahara's main moment, so I'll begin with Volume 18 and 19, I guess. Strong 8/10. |

| that was a nice finale episode. things got worked out between madarame and hato...or didn't they? either way, it was a fun, crazy ride lol |
