* HilariousInHindsight: Sasahara brings up in a job interview that he didn't like how Anime/KujibikiUnbalance continued on after the main cast had graduated, ''to the editor who came up with the idea.'' Though this was more likely a reference to how all the third years had graduated before him, one can't help but wonder his feelings over ''Niidaime''.

Example seems to not have been approved.


* MagnificentBastard: The original ClubPresident, who collected vast amounts of 'information' on the other students as part of a nebulous 'research project'. He puts it to good use in saving the Genshiken and 'persuading' Saki to join.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: With the conclusion of the [[spoiler:Madarame Harem Arc]] less than satisfying given the entire build up and ending with no results, Saki comes into the picture several chapters later to criticize the outcome and resolve it almost immediately.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: The manga features very intricate and detailed backgrounds, and references to real media to go with the {{otaku}} theme of the series. Example: "The Champ of Fighters" = ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'':
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7a7C4a2nfk&feature=related This]] video demonstrates the amount of detail the animators of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' went through in order to ensure that every detail of their fictional Ikebukuro would mimic almost every aspect of its RealLife counterpart.

* TheScrappy: Kasukabe, for much of the first season; she's pretty much a hateful bitch to everyone but her boyfriend, who she likes primarily because of his looks. She mellows out a bit as time goes on, but she never really gets called out for any of her past behavior, so it comes across as her getting off light.



* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The series is a snapshot of the Japanese ''otaku'' subculture as it was at the time it was first published / aired. The references are contemporary, and it notably deals with the ''{{Moe}}'' boom and (to an extent) the "mainstreaming" of otakudom around the middle of the TurnOfTheMillennium. The gap between the old guard and the new generation is [[http://ogiuemaniax.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/the-appearing-and-disappearing-wave-of-generational-change-in-genshiken-ii-volume-1genshiken-volume-10/ increasingly evident]] in ''Nidaime'', where the idea of "otaku" has gone from something of an internalized, somewhat shameful identity to a (relatively) unstigmatized descriptor of someone who enjoys his or her hobbies with a shameless, fiery passion. Likewise, Kousaka playing ''Guilty Gear X'', or at least one of the games in that subseries, specifically puts the series somewhere between 2000 and 2006.

Speaking for the author.


* MisaimedFandom: The entire point of Madarame is that he's the living embodiment of "talks a good game, can't follow through". Don't tell ''that'' to the shippers...

** Madarame/Sasahara get a lot of doujinshi and fanart devoted to them most likely because of Ogiue's event in the manga and anime.
** In-universe, Madarame gets involved in both Ogiue's and Hato's yaoi fantasies.
** There's a few moments between Kasukabe and Ohno.
