This is the sort of final episode that, while wrapping everything up nicely, leaves you longing for more. Yes, contrary to my earlier thoughts, I'm disappointed to see Genshiken come to an end. There's simply too much potential in both the characters and setting that's yet to be explored.

And, in some ways, that's my biggest complaint about the show. With the story's heavy focus on Saki, the rest of the cast has little opportunity to shine. Kousaka never transcends caricature, Sasahara remains a bit player, Kugayama is flat ignored, and Tanaka and Ohno see little development. Madarame has his moments in the spotlight, at least, but even then, it's mostly in how he reacts to Saki's presence and actions. I understand that Saki is the glue holding the narrative together - that is, "One of these kids is not like the other," - but, even despite that, I would have liked to have seen more of everyone else.

Should there be a second season in the works, I'm hoping it'll offer just that: more of everyone else. Until then, perhaps I should just take the time to catch up with the manga.

I loved the series, there are a few episodes that where a little damp, but when the last episode ended I couldn't accept that it was the last one. And it still doesn't sit well with me now.
Please let there be more!

I'm going to take that character that pops up after the credits as a slightly strong possibility of a second season. Here's to hoping on that.

Nice! The Comic Party reference was very appropriate. Keep doing what you do kid.
