Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!: Mom, I told you, my name is DARK FLAME MASTER

[blkmage]

yessssss

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

A pretty good episode but honestly my favorite part was the preview for Tamako Market.

[Vii]

I think that's gotta be my favorite episode yet.

[Falx]

Man, Isshiki... at least make sure she's awake.

[MangaRocks!]

...And now I finally just watched all the "Lite" episodes-- they were pretty cute. (And that ED... )

[blkmage]

KyoAni upped the drama but kept the underlying conflict too subtle, resulting in I don't know what is going on or where this is going.

[MangaRocks!]

Episode 11: ...Yeah, wow. SPOILER: Highlight text to read: I wish they would have actually shown the argument/talk that Yuuta had with Rikka in the previous episode, because I'd like to know just what he said to get that dramatic of a reaction out of her. Despite some of the good that came out of her changes, though, it was still kinda depressing. Looking forward to the resolution next week-- I'm trusting that it'll be a good one.

How oh how did this go from being my favorite new anime series, to being one I can barely stomach??? The first three episodes, I couldn't sit still because I was laughing so hard. The last three episodes, no humor, almost no action; just meaningless drama... at this point the only person who's keeping me watching the series is Dekomori, which makes me feel like a certain internet bear :S

I really hope they go back to the dynamic they had in the first few episodes...

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

honestly my favorite part was the preview for Tamako Market.

Actually, that's not true. My favorite part was Yuuta yelling at Dekomori at the end and her bursting into sobs which was hilarious.

*grabs Hat and throws him out a third floor window...into a shark tank below*



Growing up is tough, isn't it? ;_;
I trust you to finish this off well, KyoAni.

[blkmage]

ｗｈａｔ

so how about that tamako market

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Show of the year.

Tamako Market, I mean.

Anyways, the show was pretty good. I think the biggest problem as far as me being impressed with it is that it came right on the heels of Hyouka so I had gigantic expectations, but I think it turned out to be pretty enjoyable in spite of those expectations. Seriously though, Tamako Market man.

[goldenspines]

Oh you guys. e_e

Forget freaking mochi stores for a minute, this finale of Chuuni was brilliant! I personally was quite happy with it. There were so many great parts that all came together very well in the end. Heart warming would be the term to describe it. :3
Plus, it was pretty, but everything by KyoAni is pretty. But man, those lights.

[MangaRocks!]

Thoughts on the finale: SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Sanae is so pretty with that hairstyle! Also, LOL at Kumin becoming "Wicked Eye" #2, and Yuuta's message to himself. And oh my gosh, Rikka 'watching' Yuuta for two years was so cute. And then his 'rescue' of her-- so romantic!! (And haha at the others all helping out, too! ) Plus: YES! Finally, the "Dark Flame Master" "banishing the world" and 'showing' her the Ethereal Horizon so she could finally say goodbye! Oh man, that scene was so beautiful. And LOL with the police-chasing-bike bit afterwards.

Gah, this was such a good ending. Thank you KyoAni!

[Vii]

Man, that was a good ending.

[MangaRocks!]

New Christmas OVA coming in June!

(...And darn it, KyoAni, that last scene had better not just be a tease! )

[Falx]

Finally got around to watching the last three episodes: I'll be honest, I'm not sure what exactly the message was the series was trying to convey there at the end. I'm sure it makes perfect sense if you're Japanese, but whatevs. Now I gotta admit, when I saw Kumin with the eyepatch for the very first time I had to pause I started laughing so hard.

Also what last scene? Did I miss something? Did I get screwed out of something post credits by {gg]?

[goldenspines]

I think MangaRocks was referring to the last scene in the OVA preview that was link, where, in the last scene of the trailer, Yuuta and Rika are THIS CLOSE, OHMAHGAAAAH


Huh, you didn't see a message in Chuu2? It's not cultural specific really (you don't have to be Japanese to see it), though the presentation was Japanese, I suppose (but, that's like every anime because they are made in Japan, so I'm not sure). Chii2 is about discovering what growing up is all about. It's accepting who you are and the reality and responsibilities around you, but still not losing your sense of adventure and imagination that your Chuunibyou self held so dear.

[MangaRocks!]

I think MangaRocks was referring to the last scene in the OVA preview that was link, where, in the last scene of the trailer, Yuuta and Rika are THIS CLOSE, OHMAHGAAAAH

^ Correct.

[Falx]

So the "episode 13" OVA came out, not as funny as I was expecting.

Kyoani sure are trolls though.

[Vii]

Episode 13: That was cute.

SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Add that to the list of anime scenes that could have been a kiss, but were actually a hug. :<

[MangaRocks!]

Episode 13:

...I knew it, LOL. SPOILER: Highlight text to read: I was definitely *not* expecting that *other* accidental kiss that happened instead, though, so they certainly got me there...

Anyway, this was pretty adorable, and I literally LOL'd a number of times during it as well, so in all IMO it was a pretty great ep.

[blkmage]

forgot how moe yuuta was

[DarkNozomi]

I am sooo looking forward to the second season.
