Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 14: I`m from Planet Otaku ]
[ Episode 15: Then I`ll undress you! ]

Episode 14 was pretty much Madarame-focused. I actually read this chapter a few weeks ago and it was followed pretty faithfully. I think the only part I don’t recall being exactly the same is the very beginning but that could just be my memory failing me from reading the chapter so long ago. While this wasn’t the best episode/chapter Genshiken has to offer it is decent nonetheless. Seeing Madarame go nuts over buying expensive clothes is priceless as I could somewhat relate with no wanting to spurgle huge amounts of cash on one pair of pants. In the end he managed to get some pretty good threads that even Saki couldn’t dismiss as looking good. The tension between him and Saki is always a blast to see.

Episode 15 featured one of my favorite chapters in the manga. Saki manages to convince Ogiue to try out cosplay! She was pretty damn cute as Renko if you ask me but it was a shame that she didn’t come out and show it off. I must say though, Saki’s powers at convincing/selling something to a person are absolutely evil. It looks like no matter what she’ll succeed in getting that person to buy or do whatever she wants regardless of how many times they reject it. Ohno’s copslay was awesome as well but I did laugh when she mentioned cosplaying “MOS-KOS” which is obviously a transposed version of KOS-MOS from the Xenosaga trilogy. It’s a pity that this was the last episode of the OVA but there’s no time to be sad! Why? Because the second season is soon here!
