This is one of my fave episodes. Good guys like Tanaka really deserve a romantic relationship.

Tanaka and Ohno was already an item in chapter 23 of the manga but there relationship was not even explored. I'm glad the anime went a little bit further and actually made a whole episode about the couple. I guess the writer and director are fans of Genshiken.

It's good to have hope, but it's better to be realistic sometimes.

After all, Genshiken is an anime aimed at the (male) otaku population.

funny how if there's sex in a movie or TV show, that movie or TV show does not automatically become porn, yet when it happens in an anime it apparently goes from anime to hentai.

i didn't mind the fat stutter guy in season 1 but this season he's such a worthless prick of a character.
Ooo, what a lovely tea party.

Tanaka always just seemed "there" but there was a lot of development for him in this episode which I liked. And it finally settled the "will they, won't they" issue.

Yeah, just what has happened to him? lol

Also...very strange episode preview.

What an erotic episode, they sure higher-ed the level of ecchi in this second season and went to a whole other style of story telling than in the first season, not that I mind it but it feels a bit strange, either way lovely ending!

Wow, that kiss scene was great. I so wasn't expecting that.
Plus there was nudity shown, which is good.


Loved this episode, the best episode yet.

Well, this filler was very... exciting I guess :D Almost nothing of this was in manga and in some scenes I had my doubts but in the end it turned out well. I guess this is the first and only anime that shows university romance as close to real life as it is. I am just little... envious, I guess, cause everyone would want to have a girl like Ohno ^^

And they even managed to make some porn scenes from those games I wouldn't expect that, way to go :))

Episode that re becomes serious and terminates old question of understanding, respect, the relationship between Ohno and Tanaka; even though it was almost predictable finale, oh well!
Plot that moves forward, I hope will also show the ties that intertwine the remaining characters of the club.
Narrative that has proved quite different from the usual, I did not think there could be a change so radical, as happened in this episode.
Drawings and animations good.

I always loved this episode. Tanaka and Ohno are perfect for each other,and unlike a lot of anime,the chemistry between them seems realistic. People in this discussion mention the kiss being a tad weird,but it was their first kiss (for both of them) so the awkwardness of it was totally appropriate. I think Genshiken has some of the warmest and most realistic characters of any anime I've seen (maybe less so in Nidaime though).

That awkward moment when you take a date to your first R rated movie. The kiss scene was pretty wild....wasn't expecting that or what followed. All in all a nice entertaining episode.

Going by the credits for episode four, you can see that the script for this original episode was wrote by Kio himself, the manga author.

<img src="http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/5795/genshikendk8.jpg" border="0">

I had a feeling while watching this that it could easily fit into volume four, around the time that we find out about the two --- pretty much a 'behind the scene's'. Brilliant episode, along with Ohno Bra and Underwear, and a kiss scene that makes it easy to believe this is being made by a porn studio.

Next episode, yay for Ogiue's true self.


No wonder that kiss made me feel slightly uncomfortable lol.
It's weird though, I always felt that Tanaka and Ono had this innocent kind of feeling, and seeing this episode, I was just like...."I don't know how to feel about this." I thought it would be a cutesy thing nut DAANG!...then they had Ono say "you want to do cosplay sex?" Just hearing that come from her its like.....whaaaaaa!?!? No no no! *huddles in corner*
...but after all of that I'm glad they are togeather now.
I also want that hentai game.

They showed nipples in this eroge game this episode, but didn't show Saki's when she showered last episode? What the what? Then, they showed this scene with nipples out and the girl basically orgasming. But still, no nipples for Saki. I don't understand the censorship in this series.

Tanaka needs to just give in to his feelings already. If you can find someone who is willing to watch you play an eroge game for the sake of fulfilling a fantasy then you should probably just marry them.

Tanaka still has to hesitate after she, basically, already, told him she'd go out with him? He's far, far too in his head. You're already in man, just take the shot! Well, that escalated quickly. I can't believe he licked her cheek mid-kiss. That was probably one of the most awkward kisses I've ever seen.

LMAO this series is getting interesting.
But the last half becomes R18... w⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
