A pretty heartwarming episode this week focusing on the graduation of some of the Genshiken members and how everyone is growing up. They discuss how Madarame now got a real job but it’s so close to his college that he didn’t really have to move anywhere. Saki is also jealous of that student council girl because despite being all tough and crap, she gave into Japanese society to get married and not have to work. (Poor Saki, I wonder if Kousaka even has marriage in mind for her?) Also at the end I had a little moment when Madarame said “Oh I was praised” from Saki. Bah. Genshiken - one of the rare animes where I don’t feel the cannon pairing is right (He shoulda ended up with Saki T___T). Also lol @ Ohno’s “Cosplay Club” XD.

Upcoming Attractions: Ohno’s dreams come true.

Before watching this episode I watched like 6 series of “I want to see that anime again! 1990s anime ops” videos on NicoNico (which btw is like my new Youtube.) It made me all nostalgic and KITAAA! during stuff like the Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy, Kare Kano and Kodocha ops 8D.

I haven’t read further in the manga but I might do so because we’re now back to “monster of the week”. I really liked last week’s episode and I was hoping we’d see more of that in the future.

So technically no raburabu this week however Renji and Ellis were the main characters of this episode while Akari and Kureha took a backseat. Even Anzelotte got like 3 minutes of screentime if that. Also, I did a Night Wizard fanart. So this week Ellis has a memory lapse thanks to a greeting cat (jk) and she and Renji get sent to the Tower of Babel! I felt some Nadia deja vu this week.
