Kujibiki Unbalance: I think we got about five minutes into this show before turning it off. It fails exactly for the reason that I thought that it would fail. The reason that this show works in Genshiken (both the snippets within the Genshiken episodes and the whole episodes on the Genshiken DVDs) is because of the fact that there is no actual narrative or anyhing. It allows the show to be nothing more than a pure collection of cliches. Not a cliched story, but literally a series of unrelated cliches.
