Line 26:
* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: When Angela takes off her top, Ohno punches her boyfriend Tanaka hard enough to knock him out just to prevent him from seeing Angela's flesh. This is played for laughs. There is also Saki's violence towards Sasahara (but only once, and she later apologizes), Kucchi (who brings it on himself), and Madarame (who actually likes getting hit by Saki and deliberately tries to provoke her into hitting him at least twice).
* [[The Ace]]: Kousaka, in a more down-to-Earth version than most Aces. He is good-looking, athletic, and taught himself how to program in a month.▼
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Kuchiki gets his own episode about midway through season two, as well as the episode starring Madarame and Kasukabe alone in the clubroom.▼
* [[Adorkable]]: Madarame. "He's actually kind of [[Moe]], isn't he?"
* [[Airplane of Love]]
Line 44:
** And in season two, whenever Ogiue lets her [[Yaoi Fangirl|imagination get the best of her]].
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: {{spoiler|Hato}}, much to Kuchiki's <s> chagrin</s> delight.
**
* [[Bait and Switch Credits]]: The second season's opening is Sasahara dreaming his life as a [[Real Robot]] mecha anime.
* [[Bandage Babe]]: Invoked by Tanaka and Madarame at the appearance of Ogiue, who had previously thrown herself out a second-story window and broken her arm.
Line 77:
** Sue as well, but only when ''imitating Madarame''.
* [[Dating Sim]]: [[Visual Novel Shot|Parodied]].
▲* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Kuchiki gets his own episode about midway through season two, as well as the episode starring Madarame and Kasukabe alone in the clubroom.
* [[Denser and Wackier]]: The novel has supernatural elements and a bizarre plot.
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: In the fanbook there are some short dialogues between the Genshiken members, and Kuchiki brings up that he downloads all of his software from the internet, which makes Sasahara think "He's such a jerk."
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
** Yoshitake is past 20 despite her teenage appearance. To confuse the issue further, {{spoiler|her sister}} is herself [[Younger Than She Looks]] and looks like the older one.
* [[Omake]]
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Kasukabe saves the club for precisely this reason.▼
* [[Onsen Episode]]: While the bath is more of a semi-outdoor furo -- much to the characters' disappointment -- they nonetheless self-consciously treat it as an onsen episode, complete with lampshading, when Ohno prompts Kasukabe on the lines she's supposed to say as the two share the bath.
* [[Otaku]]
Line 163 ⟶ 165:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Ohno has hair down to her hips. It's useful for all her cosplay.
* [[Reference Overdosed]]
* [[The Rival]]: Yabusaki, artist for the Manga club.▼
* [[Scenery Censor]]: The second series inserts a [[Furo Scene]] where, possibly in the interests of fanservice, Sue flashes Ogiue.
* [[Secret Keeper]]: It's implied that Ohno is this for Madarame.
Line 197 ⟶ 200:
* [[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]].
* [[Take That]]: Not too prevalent, given that it's a series about enjoying being an Otaku, but in one episode preview the club members mention that you really shouldn't sing [[Lucky Star|"Motteke! Sailor Fuku!"]] and [[Haruhi Suzumiya|"Hare Hare Yukai"]] in public.
▲* [[The Ace]]: Kousaka, in a more down-to-Earth version than most Aces. He is good-looking, athletic, and taught himself how to program in a month.
▲* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Kasukabe saves the club for precisely this reason.
* [[That One Player]]: Kousaka.
* [[Time Skip]]: A slight one in Chapter 56, which was created and released as a bonus together with the Japanese "Genshiken 2" box-set. The chapter told us what the characters had become, and what's going on the Genshiken club right now.▼
* [[Tohoku Regional Accent]]: Ogiue usually speaks in formal Standard Japanese, but reverts to her native Tohoku dialect when she gets nervous or embarrassed, which only serves to throw her further into panic-mode.▼
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: A mild example, but the novel features Madarame leading the charge against {{spoiler|some people who have taken over the university club system by throwing molotov cocktails to break down a barricade. Saki and Kugayama also get in on the action, with Kugayama tearing down some of the barricade with his bare hands and bodily strength.}}
▲* [[The Rival]]: Yabusaki, artist for the Manga club.
* [[Tsundere]]: Ogiue, so adorable but so mean too. Poor Sasahara.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the bonus chapter of the final volume.
** As their friendship develops, Saki becomes quite a bit nicer to Madarame, which no doubt helps with their [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] status.
▲* [[Tohoku Regional Accent]]: Ogiue usually speaks in formal Standard Japanese, but reverts to her native Tohoku dialect when she gets nervous or embarrassed, which only serves to throw her further into panic-mode.
▲* [[Time Skip]]: A slight one in Chapter 56, which was created and released as a bonus together with the Japanese "Genshiken 2" box-set. The chapter told us what the characters had become, and what's going on the Genshiken club right now.
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]]: Two seasons' worth, plus the three OVA episodes.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Kasukabe, much to the surprise of the others, seemed to be like this with Kousaka until he agreed to date her.
