Line 56:
** Also used by Kasukabe against {{spoiler|the club council president}} to prevent her from {{spoiler|closing Genshiken}} forever.
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: Comifes, plus pretty much every anime or manga series mentioned—apart from ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'', which is more a pastiche of otaku-marketed [[Moe]]. Also, "Starbooks" Coffee, and "Kujifilm", which is also a pun on ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]''. And the university itself, which is [http://www.chuo-u.ac.jp Chuo University] in real life but "Shio University" here.
* [[Blank White Eyes]]
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Ogiue, when she trades her contact lenses for her old glasses in order not to be recognized at the convention)
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Manabu Kuchiki; he rather enjoys it, and usually earns it.
Line 115:
* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]]: [[Mobile Suit Gundam|"Not even my own father hit me."]] in the manga after Kanji is on the receiving end of a slap by Kasukabe. Kasukabe, being completely out of the anime loop, takes it seriously at first until the other club members congratulate him.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each episode title from the first season is basically a flowery description of the events within the show, and sounds like the name of a research paper.
** Which may reference the first President's research project, having used the Genshiken club as research subjects without their knowledge. Once he's gone (to write his doctoral thesis), the episode titles become much more mundane.
* [[I Have This Friend]]
* [[Ignore the Fanservice]]: Kasukabe starts hitting on Kousaka in the most blatant way possible... and he just goes out to line up for a videogame release.
Line 191:
* [[Spin-Off]]: ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]''
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Kasukabe's cosplay.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Prez.
* [[Stock Footage]]: That [[Guilty Gear|Sol vs. Jam match]]? Expect to see the exact same footage a lot, even when different people are playing. Fortunately, the final episode of the first season mixes it up with different footage, as well as the OP.
* [[Stringy
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: In the manga, the rest of the guys comment on how Kousaka's legs look when he crossplays. Oguie just asks "Is he really a guy?". It's hammed up even more in the anime.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Rather realistically, Ohno and Kasukabe speak rather correct English with one hell of a rough Japanese accent, while Angela actually sounds convincingly American even when played by a Japanese [[Seiyuu]].
Line 216:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Kasukabe claims to hate the otakus at Genshiken, but she still hangs around the clubroom without Kousaka there, and is more than willing to stand up for them.
* [[Wall of Text]]: If given a good enough reason, [http://www.mangareader.net/genshiken/58/5 Yoshitake will go off on her own tangent].
* [[Webcomic Time]]: A one-off form of it, when the series got [[Uncancelled]] after about four and a half years, but events in-series had only moved on a couple months at most. Suddenly characters move from making references to series current to early and mid 2006, to referencing series that wouldn't even have existed yet if a strict chronology was followed on with the continuation. Angela's references to the ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'' series get only the narrowest pass if she's quoting the original light novel which came out within the rough time of ''Nidaime'' thus far, but the ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' cosplay doesn't fit anywhere.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Kousaka, who crossplays to help sell ''[[Doujinshi]]''. He doesn't expect Kasukabe to show up when she does.
** Also, {{spoiler|Hato}} in chapter 56.
