| Genshiken Vol 2 : 4 of 5 | |

 There are some anime series that I like to watch in small doses, one episode at a time, and then there are others that I want to take in completely all at once. Genshiken is definitely an all-at-once show - it has the right balance of hilarity and characterization to keep me totally interested for several episodes straight! This second volume was probably even better than the first, and I really liked how it had several "expanded" scenes that weren't as detailed in the manga (which really makes me want to start taking in both the anime and manga for other shows). There's an amazing drinking party to welcome new members to the club (Ohno is such a funny drunk), plus a long sequence about model building that really adds to the drama when Saki accidently breaks one of the completed projects! I also loved Saki's idea to get Kohsaka's attention through video games, and the wall scroll scene at the station with Sasahara's sister is priceless. Once again, the little "bonus" scenes after the end credits of each episode are fantastic (and such a great way to keep the flavor of the manga). The Kujibiki Unbalance "fake" episode is really cool - I laughed so hard during the karaoke scene (you have to see it to believe it). For some reason, Netflix doesn't have Volume 3 of this series, so I may buy the whole set so I can finish it!
