THE END (not really): Genshiken 2, Episode 12

Posted on by

In an effort to create an ending for the series despite the same time frame in the manga being only the beginning of what is yet to come, Sasahara’s job search was expanded on in previous episodes as well as this one. It’s a painful journey and one I can relate to.

Sasahara, after a hard fight and a reality check from Genshiken members past and present, manages to get a job as an editor, and he talks to Ogiue on the phone. How does Ogiue feel about it?

Wait what was I talking about again?

Oh right, the best Christmas present possible. Thanks, ARMS!

Ogiue, Complex Emotions, Sexiness, such is Genshiken 2 Episode 11

Posted on by

Episode 11 of our illustrious second season of Genshiken covers one of the best Ogiue-themed chapters of the manga, Ogiue selling her doujinshi at Comifes. Watching her relationship with Sasahara further develop is such a joy, even though I’ve seen it all before.

With the introduction of Ogiue’s junior high “friends” though, they’ve set the stage for a Genshiken 3 or at least a handful of OVAs. They absolutely cannot let this plot thread dangle.

Ogiue’s “friends'” names, by the way, are Nakajima and Shigeta. Nakajima is voiced by Endo Aya and Shigeta is voiced by Iguchi Yuuka. Also, with how close those two are, I wonder if Nakajima and Shigeta are, shall we say, pitching for the other team.

Also, Shiro recently made a post about the joy that is a certain tomboyish Gundam SEED character with wet hair (who is also one of my favorite characters), and also the excellence of anime girls with wet hair in general. Good timing, for Genshiken 2 11 also brings this.

Yeah.

I’m done.
