   	Actually the students in Genshiken share some class and cafeteria time.   
     The Genshiken seems to convene whenever enough   
   students are out of class.  The meetings don't seem to last very   
   long and it is time to adjourn to the dojin shops or to the Comic   
   Market show or take care of the business of living.   
   	In the classroom the women, Saki and Ohno.   
   	In the cafeteria the protagonist Sasahara and the unsurpassable   
   Kousaka.  As matter of fact that is where Makoto confronts Kenji to   
   urge him to join the Genshiken after his baseless pride has been damaged   
   by the doujin and figurine hazing.   
   	We also get to see them at the festivals at matriculation where   
   the University clubs try to get new members.

   	I saw most of the anime on TV back when anime was a more popular   
   choice for programmers.*
