| rdfs:comment | - Kujibiki Unbalance(くじびきアンバランスKujibiki Anbaransu), as it exists in the real world, is a three-episode OVA from the highly popular 2004 anime Genshiken, as well as a series of three light novels by Genshiken anime collaborator Michiko Yokote. Within the world of Genshiken, however, Kujibiki Unbalance is a popular ongoing manga and 26-episode anime adaptation, which is eagerly watched and discussed by the main characters. These same characters also purchase associated products and adult-oriented dojinshi based on the series, which constitute the motivation for some of the "club activities" held by the Genshiken. Genshiken characters who are fans of Kujibiki Unbalance tend to refer to it by the shorthand name of Kuji-Un(くじアンKujian).
- Kujibiki Unbalance originally started as a Show Within a Show within Genshiken. It is an intentional conglomeration of every anime genre and trope that the producers could cram in. Clips of it were animated for the original Genshiken series, and three complete episodes -- the first episode, a Clip Show, and the second-to-last episode -- were produced as an Omake on the Genshiken DVDs. They proved to be so wildly popular that the series was produced as its own standalone Anime series, which aired in the Fall 2006 season.

| Episodes | |
| ShortSummary | - Chihiro's team splits up after the members have second thoughts about the competition. However, Chihiro regains the will to continue after a chance encounter with Ritsuko at his parents' grave, and works to convince his teammates to keep fighting.
- Unproduced. It is, however, mentioned in Genshiken volume 5, accompanied by several "screenshots" and commentary from Sasahara .
- Chihiro's team reflects on a variety of matches they've been in thus far, including soccer, getting the most website hits, enduring a sauna and a freezer, military operations, a swimming race against aliens, a high-stakes game of Mahjong, and a dungeon battle adventure. According to Genshiken in volume 5, the attack on Ritsuko near the end of the episode was "added for the DVD version" and did not appear in the broadcast version.
- Unproduced, though seen "again" in episode 21. The order of the day seems to be a karaoke contest. The scene "replayed" in episode 21 shows everyone in the room trying to escape the horror of Tokino's singing voice.
- Unproduced.
- Unproduced, though a clip from it can be seen in episode 21. Chihiro & co. must face off against a trio of aliens from the planet Eldo. The hyper-intelligent, athletic, and beautiful aliens seem to have no weakness, until Komaki unwittingly stumbles onto their secret: they have crippling digestive troubles.
- Unproduced. In Genshiken, this episode is postponed due to a typhoon, and it has not yet aired as of the end of volume 4. It is later suggested that it is not as much of a "wrap-up" as the penultimate episode.
- Unproduced. The episode is, however, discussed at the end of Genshiken volume 3, where Madarame takes issue with the delivery of some of the lines. To prove his point, he produces a VHS tape of said episode, and thus the discussion turns into a re-watching.
- Chihiro enters Rikkyoin High and is placed, by lottery, into a team in the competition to determine the next student council. The first match: a culinary battle, featuring a mushroom theme.
- Unproduced, though it is one of the episodes revisited in episode 21. Chihiro's team must compete against a team of computer geeks in creating a website that gets the most hits within a certain amount of time. Their general-interest topics are no match for their opponents' more prurient choice of content, until Tokino, Komaki, and Izumi come to the rescue... in swimsuits.
- Unproduced, but "revisited" in episode 21. Chihiro's team must engage in military operations against a seasoned group of pros. They are outmatched until they win over their opponents in an... unorthodox manner.

| abstract | - Kujibiki Unbalance originally started as a Show Within a Show within Genshiken. It is an intentional conglomeration of every anime genre and trope that the producers could cram in. Clips of it were animated for the original Genshiken series, and three complete episodes -- the first episode, a Clip Show, and the second-to-last episode -- were produced as an Omake on the Genshiken DVDs. They proved to be so wildly popular that the series was produced as its own standalone Anime series, which aired in the Fall 2006 season. The series follows a slate of four candidates for the Absurdly Powerful Student Council at an Elaborate University High. The school where the action is set has an unusual tradition: both the admissions test and the student council elections are chosen by lottery ("kujibiki" in Japanese). At the beginning of each year, the entire student body is divided into slates of candidates, who compete with each other through an enormous Tournament Arc of wacky Cooking Duel competitions. Naturally, there's a Love Dodecahedron at work, including a Childhood Marriage Promise between the protagonist and the current Student Council President. The remade series, this time a complete one, is similar, but with a different art style, different group of candidates and a different setup for them to succeed. Rather than many groups competing, the next student council has already been decided, but in order to prove themselves worthy they must complete tasks put to them by the current council. These range from finding the last missing member in the first episode, to things like protecting the president from a bomb threat (and that's just the second episode). The DVDs of the remade series, in a role reversal, contain 3 OVA episodes of Genshiken. It has now been released as a manga too, with a bonus section... where the remaining Genshiken members discuss the new manga. Compare with Getsumen to Heiki Mina, another Defictionalized Show Within a Show.
- Kujibiki Unbalance(くじびきアンバランスKujibiki Anbaransu), as it exists in the real world, is a three-episode OVA from the highly popular 2004 anime Genshiken, as well as a series of three light novels by Genshiken anime collaborator Michiko Yokote. Within the world of Genshiken, however, Kujibiki Unbalance is a popular ongoing manga and 26-episode anime adaptation, which is eagerly watched and discussed by the main characters. These same characters also purchase associated products and adult-oriented dojinshi based on the series, which constitute the motivation for some of the "club activities" held by the Genshiken. Genshiken characters who are fans of Kujibiki Unbalance tend to refer to it by the shorthand name of Kuji-Un(くじアンKujian). The series is, in essence, a compilation of many of the standard themes found in certain kinds of anime and manga series: childhood promises as the source of relationship drama, the influential yet shadowy Student Council, somewhat contrived scenarios designed to push the plot forward, mid-series "recaps" to remind viewers of previous events, and a sudden crisis that threatens to alienate the main characters and jeopardizes the outcome of the series. Kujibiki Unbalance is meant to be a very stereotypical anime series, serving as both an homage to and a parody of the kinds of series that the otaku of Genshiken would enjoy. The series was originally shown both as short "excerpts" within the Genshiken manga, as well as three full OVA episodes (labeled as episodes 1, 21, and 25 of an assumed 26-episode TV series) released to DVD with Genshiken in Japan. At Comiket 69, Media Factory announced the release of the second season of Genshiken, which was later clarified as being a 12-episode season of Kujibiki♥Unbalance. In a reversal of its OVA release alongside Genshiken, the DVD release of Kujibiki Unbalance included a total of three Genshiken OVA episodes, introducing the character Ogiue and continuing the plot of the manga from where the TV series left off.
