Kujibiki Unbalance: A Delusional Delight from the Perspective of Passionate KUB fan.
Yo, fellow otaku brethren! Gather 'round as I delve into the labyrinth of Kujibiki Unbalance, a series that ignites the flames of passion and lunacy within the depths of my otaku heart!
Let's start with the protagonist, Chihiro Enomoto. This poor soul embodies the very essence of otaku ineptitude and social awkwardness. His stumbling, bumbling existence resonates deep within my own otaku soul, reminding me of the countless times I've tripped over my words and embarrassed myself in the pursuit of otaku greatness. Oh, the sheer madness of his otaku misadventures is a source of twisted joy!

This is an interesting little OVA. Naturally, Kujibiki Unbalance is the anime from Genshiken, so it's technically an anime within an anime. While there are only three episodes, they correspond with episodes 1, 21, and 25 of a 26 episode series that only exists in the Genshiken universe. As such, you can really only understand so much about the series from this OVA alone.
The basic premise is that a boy named Enomoto Chihiro is a student at a high school where the students are divided into teams and take part in a tournament to determine who will become the next student council president. As it so happens, the current student council president is a childhood friend of Chihiro's, whom she has feelings for. Chihiro and his teammates Akiyama Tokino, Tachibana Izumi and Asagiri Komaki go throu…

Watching Genshiken naturally incites an interest in the Anime-in-anime the guys from the club are all about; Kujibiki Unbalance, or as it is referred to most of the time; Kujiun.
And much more interesting that its story in itself naturally is what this show says about anime during the time of Genshiken's creation.
There always was generic Anime, no matter how you look at it, as well as people celebrating it who should know better.
And now that that's out of the way, what makes this OVA special?
It hits all the natural stages of 2000s generic highschool anime; A cast of wacky, but pretty one-note characters - complete with big, candy-colored hair and matching, big eyes, gimmicky accessories, big hands and feet and more thick, slightly disproportionate bodies making them look younger tha…

These are 3 episodes of Kujibiki Unbalance which were the 1st, 21st and 25th episodes. This is the fictitious anime that the Genshiken guys were always watching, and after watching these 3 episodes, I think I liked it as much as the Genshiken guys did. These OVAs are definitely a MUST WATCH for people who liked Genshiken.
The 3 episodes I watched were just like previews of the show so I'm not so sure about the story. As from what I've understood in these 3 episodes, the story is about a boy named Chihiro that got into Rikkyouin High School, his encounters with people there, a reunion with his childhood friend he promised to marry, and the Kujibiki, a school tournament, festival or tradition thing in which all the students face all kinds of battles for a whole year, be it sports, cooking,…
