Episode 11
Wow, I really hated how mean-spirited that was in the first half, and did not like how it was shaping up at all, and then suddenly they rescued the entire episode in the last half. Also, best sweat drops ever. Well done, guys, very well done!

I kept imagining him thinking, "So all I have to do is bump off Kousaka and I'm set?"

Perfectly said. I was getting pretty annoyed with how cavalier and callous everyone was being to Madarame, who clearly has never done anything to deserve ill treatment. Yet at the end it worked out so I guess they understood what he needed better than I did.

Saki reflected on a truism about BL in what she said in episode 11. She said it's ok for 2 guys to be in a relationship and Ogiue and Ohno asked if she actually liked BL. Then they realized she was talking about real-life gay people, and basically went 'meh, reality.'
What she said after that would be more literally translated as "so you guys actually dislike gay people?" Which reflects well on how people assume because of BL and crossdressing, anime and manga have this kind of attitude that is positive towards LGBT.
Maybe it's not a bad thing but BL fans don't represent a group that's necessarily more accepting or understanding of gays since the stereotypical ways things are played out just serve as a fantasy for their own enjoyment. It's unrealistic romance and unlikely situations that perhaps do act as a release from the frustrations of living in the male-dominated, gender binary reinforcing society that we live in.
Saki is more like the way things should be, so maybe that's why fujoshi means rotten girl. Saki is a good girl because she wants actual people who are different from the norm to be seen in a positive light.

well the series is now finished for the time being and i have to say even thought it spent its energy on the bl fujoshi breed of otaku i really enjoyed this season. the hato and madarame (madarame is my fave character in the series) interactions were interesting it. was also nice to see alot of development and growth of the remaining original members. the tanaka and ohno scenes near the end espically were excellent. i hope for another series or at least a few ova's in the future.
i rated it a very good mostly because im not in to the bl fandom so it seemed like i missed something in how i related the the characters that i didn't with the previous seasons and there use of the general otaku fandom. otherwise it would have been a category higher.

A bit awkward that they remind us that they never animated the first group trip, such a huge honking hole in the series.

I rated this show very good. Overall, it was definitely a fun experience and I hope there will be another season in the future. Sue is just too cute and this episode also had doses of cuteness in them!
Lol @ the AOT reference though. Haha.
