Spoiler :
The tables are turned on Ogiue: the guys start talking about eroges (hentai games) and it leads to a conversation about her and eventually what kind of character she would be in an eroge. And unlike Ogiue's yaoi fantasy about the Genshiken guys where the real-life models don't (so far) know about the existence of the story, this time the subject is around to overhear the fiction as it's being formulated. Remember, curiosity killed the cat... ;)

Ohno is slowly pushing Ogiue to admit to also being a yaoi-loving otaku. I'm beginning to believe that she's enjoying getting a rise out of Ogiue. What a scary face Kanako!

You know that this is Ohno's tough-love, and like everyone else want's Ogiue to open up about her otaku nature. Ogiue and Ohno would be great friends if Chika would just admit to herself and everyone else that she is also an otaku.

Ogiue's reactions to being in the sea of otaku and embarrassed expressions are so adorable. Especially when she lapses into using her tohoku accent. The ending scene with Ogiue blushing (even the tops of her ears were red!), stammering and switching accents was sooooooo cute.
Looks like we're in for some drama next episode...
I agree, this episode rocked :D

Episode 7, more than the previous episodes, is very character-driven.

Three members graduate and leave Genshiken so it's kind of a melancholy episode. The series is definitely shifting it's focus now.

Don't worry, there's still some hilarious comedy.

I died laughing when Kasukabe off-handedly suggested to Ohno about accepting the Chairman position and making Genshiken into a cosplay research club. Ohno's reaction and that of Kasukabe and Ogiue were awesome.

Well,the anime would become a bit serious now.Finishing university,entering society,finding a job...it's a slash of life anime after all though the comedy parts are just gold.I kinda want to see what awaits the finale of the anime for Ogiue most of all and secondly Ohno.

Haha, just watched ep. 8, and I enjoyed it so much that I had to watch it again.

I love Ohno's reaction when Kuchiki begins to touch the cosplay-clothing :D

Ep 9 is out.
Yet another golden episode.Suddenly,Genshiken has become able to combine both serious and funny sides.Given that I'll also graduate next year I'm placing myself in Sasahara's feet and it really feels awkard during job hunting.
On the fun side now,the quote "I prefer 2D" and "We'll fuck like bunnies" were the best moments of the ep.I truly feel sorry for Saki-chan!!! :D :D

Ssahara and Ogiue are gonna be the next pair if things go well.
And ep 10 has new characters coming so it's a must see!!

Yeah, I feel sorry for the guy.

Especially since Ogi-chin rejected him even without him having made a move yet :(

She's so evil-ish.

Well,we'll see how it'll work out.I have the feeling that in the end Sasahara will get Ogiue. 8-)
