I liked the first two seasons of Genshiken, they were pretty good but I didn't find it particularly amazing. This season though. IT. WAS. BRILLIANT. Firstly, this season tends to revolve largely around one character, introduced in this season, by the name of Hato who is just pretty much my favourite character ever. The following may count as a very small spoiler, but nothing you don't learn pretty much up front and it's a big part of why I love the season, so I'm going to say it anyway. Hato is effectively a trap fudanshi. That enough would have me sold, but even better than that, he'spretty much the main character and is actually quite a deep character who develops throughout the season remarkably, not just some comedic caricature. I genuinely love this season, and this character, so much. While the other characters are certainly still there, and are still developed upon, Hato is definitely the star of the show in my opinion, and I honestly can't speak enough to how much I love this character.
