| Genshiken Vol 3 : 4 of 5 | |

 Since I couldn't find Volume 3 available to rent, I just decided to buy the box set of Genshiken, since I liked the series so much - I'm sure I will watch it all again sometime! It was good to see the final four episodes, but it's really disappointing that they didn't make more - it even seems like the anime staff was a little surprised, since the final episode really struggles to wrap it up somehow (but at least I still have the continuing manga to keep me going). The first episode on this DVD is really great - nothing much happens except for Madarame being uncomfortably left alone with Kasukabe, and just watching how inept he is with other people is hilarious! There's a great flashback to his high school days, and it's really funny when they show how he tries to handle a situation through the "interface" of a dating sim game. The character insight is perfect, and that's what makes this anime so cool (especially for those of us who can relate!). There's a funny episode where we get to see Sasahara's sister again, who tries to become otaku just to get the attention of Kousaka, but she doesn't have the stamina for Comic Fest. The last two episodes involve the accidental fire and the near break-up of the group, but things finally work out and Sasahara, who is kind of the hero of the show, becomes the new chairman. The bonus Kujibiki Unbalance episode isn't too eventful, but it's pretty clever how they constructed a "next-to-last" plot for this pretend show!
