1----
2* AscendedFanon: "Nyaako" is now the official name for that cat smile girl.
3* DirectedByCastMember: Bill Timoney (Harunobu Madarame) served as the ADR director for the English dub.
4* NeverTrustATitle: ''Genshiken: Second Season'' is actually the ''third'' televised season, after ''Genshiken 2''. The Japanese title actually literally translates as "Second ''Generation''", which is more apt (dealing as it does with the "generation gap" between the old- and new guard of Main/{{Otaku}}).
5* TheOtherDarrin: In ''Second Generation'', everyone was recast. For example, Kanji Sasahara, who was voiced by Takanori Ohyama in the first two seasons, is now voiced by Tatsuya Kobashi.
6* PlayingAgainstType: You would expect Creator/AkiraIshida and[=/=]or Creator/JunFukuyama to voice a bishonen in this series... but it happens that both got casted unexpectedly for [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Kuchiki]] in the original anime and ''Nidaime'', respectively.
7* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: "Genshiken" and "Kujiun".
8* StudioHop: ''Genshiken'' was initially produced by Palm Studio before switching to Ajiado for the OVA, Creator/ARMSCorporation for ''Genshiken 2'' and Creator/ProductionIG for ''Second Generation''.
9* TechnologyMarchesOn: In one chapter, Madarame looks up a PC catalog and marvels at the 200 GB sizes of American hard-drives. The chapter was released in 2002, so that sort of size was high end at the time.
10** An omake page set during Kuchiki's graduation trip has him explaining to the newbies that only a little while back, he was using a four megapixel camera and smartphones ''barely existed''.
