The complicated nature of Chuunibyou and the main characters of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai was once again explored in this episode, although the focus was on Rikka and her growing relationship with Yuuta. Chuunibyou as an idea and a ‘problem’ is clearly far more complicated that the first episode of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga [...]

D’awwww Rikka…. ’tis blooms the blossom of love. And the show is finally living up to its title~~ It took KyoAni long enough to finally get to this part, but I’ll say I’m not fully sold on it yet. Rikka was unmistakably cute this week, but the idea of her really falling for Yuuta is [...]

Yuuta and Rikka spend a night together alone; at the end, they all but confess their love to each other. Their relationship is not official yet, but it might as well be. Yuuta really steps up as that ‘special’ friend to Rikka: defending her at her most vulnerable, chasing after her when she runs off [...]

One of Chuunibyou’s many talents is digging up one’s musty childhood memories and I’ve found myself no exception. Luckily, the exploration of one’s childhood can lead to several interesting revelations about one’s self as a child. After talking to some close friends and perusing the silly compendium of games we used to play (yes, we … Read more

Ahh… young love. I find that KyoAni does a really good job of realistically portraying romantic encounters, and this one was no different. Sexual tension was sky high as blatant signals were thrown left and right. Yuuta and Rikka were both aware of what was going on (consciously or unconsciously), but neither was brave enough

As reality settles in, Rikka discovers love for the first time. While the episode initially feels sad with Touka trying to bring Rikka back to reality in this battle, it eventually got better. In particular, the battle looked rather interesting as Rikka gets slammed into her former house made of paper. Few moments later, the [...]

Rikka and Touka “do battle” in the lot where their house once stood, but Touka can’t get through to Rikka, who flees. Yuuta chases after her, and he finally finds her on the night train back home. She forgot her key and his family is all away, so the two spend the night at his [...]

I still like Chuunibyou and all, but I have to be honest with myself. The drama in these last two episodes absolutely sucked to the point that it almost overrode what the show did right for me. I mean seriously KyoAni, what made you think that a show that has been for the most part [...]

Now that the true cause of Rikka's delusions and behaviour have been laid bare, can she face up to reality and move on? Of course not!  Thus, this episode begins with Rikka and her elder sister fighting once again, with Rikka's delusion conflict overlapping with Touka's desperate attempts to get her sibling to behave rationally and accept the difficult truth about their father and former home.

Rikka ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ This episode was definitely something I didn’t expect from the show. Oh KyoAni, doing nakige better than a nakige anime *coughlitbuscough*….

Rikka has always been a curious character, not because of her personality as the wielder of the Tyrant’s Eye, but because of everything that has gone unsaid. We know very little about who she truly is behind the mask that she has created, and even less about her past. The reasons for her Chuunibyou have [...]

This episode was amazinguuu… I particularly liked the way in which KyoAni introduced Rikka’s conflict into the story. First, by showcasing her unusually gloomy demeanor, then gradually revealing the sad past of the Takanashi family, and finally culminating in a emotionally charged battle between siblings. The series of events felt very natural, like it could
