Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! discussion thread

[Damius]

- Yuuta just ate with Rikka chopsticks… An indirect kiss. He was applause from members of the class.
- “Death!”
- Awww…. Rikka didn’t catch the piece of paper… She did it on purpose for all the viewers.
- Rikka wants to start a new club…
- Rikka is not able to ask herself, she is too embarrassed and she is too cute.
- Oh, Kumin! How could, no one joined the napping club last time?
- Shinka as a cheerleader… Lovely.
- Rikka is a cheerleader too… Well, she wants to get thrown in the air.
- And now she tries the Drama club.
- Here is Sanae!
- Poor Sanae, her hair got her.
- Rikka has two personalities and the other one is name Catherine…
- You got her… Nana-chan.
- Time for another batlle! I should say, time for another amazing battle.
- You have no choice to join Yuuta.
- Shinka joined too.

Wow, this show is way too much fun. It’s sure is a double lock import.

I relooked at the railway crossing scene. At first I didn't recognize what was in her hand. It must have been her cell phone which, from the previous episode was black. Probably I was the only one who didn't catch the significance of the phone. She must have gotten a call or a text message from her sister or family that upset her. That explains the whole sequence and why she wanted to hold his hand and the "wind commeth".

Blast Reality!

Bwwwaaaaa! I had tears in my eyes almost all the way through the second half. Damn, the explanation of Rikka's condition was so sad. I thought the way the last episode ended that there would be some angst, but this really tore me up. Seeing Rikka smiling when Yuuta agrees to help made the contrast even worse.

A father that died, a grandfather with no empathy, a mom that runs off and leaves her. Chuunibyou was probably the best alternative as opposed to what she could have turned into. She seemed to be drawn less as a child and more as a young woman in this episode. Specifically the last scene. Her conflict with her sister is less about Chuunibyou than about her refusal to face the loss of her father. Chuunibyou is only her means of escape not the cause.

At the same time I loved the comedy scenes too. Dekomori never ceases to delight. Dekomoron, ! If I read Shinka's back right is actually says: ニセサマ(nisesama) in katakana so I guess it is "fake summer" though I read it as her calling Shinka a fake but politely. And Kumin...HNNNGGGG. Issika I can see where your coming from but I don't think you have a snowballs chance, grade schooler.

Of course, why in the hell is Shinka there, except that this was nominally a beach episode? You really have become friends with them in spite of yourself haven't you?

Can't wait for next week's battle and I expect it's going to get even more emotional.

There were some nice Rikka(/Yuuta) scenes but Nibutani/Dekomori continues to steal the show.

Mostly for their fighting but daaaaaaaaaaaw at Nibutani taking care of Dekomori after she gets sunburned.

As for non-Nibutani/Dekomori stuff, Cerberus, Rikka's jump and her method of transportation at the end all cracked me up. And Nibutani's face when she got a surprise kiss from Cerberus.

Also, this episode had a notable fixation on asses. Not that I have a problem with this!

NIKUTANI BEST GIRL

Also some plot stuff.

[superdry]

Nibutani <3. Yes, she does give off that class-rep feeling taking care of the kids in this episode.

First half of the episode was pretty fun besides the strained relationship between Rikka and her sister. Nibutani and Dekomori continue to be a super fun pair.

Second half of the episode - man...being Tooka is tough. Pretty sad what happened to the family and one of the reasons for Rikka acting the way she is now. Those last few lines in the show though...damn.

[FUNiOP]

So good! Hey, you know all that plot you've been waiting for? Yep, here it is! Oh man, why do I have to wait another week for more of this? ;_;

[tytan88]

Kumin really had the wow factor in that white summer dress. She really pops out with it. Her color is definitely white!. I never knew sunburns could be so much fun. Nair....yes. Icy hot.....yes. But sunburns are a new one to add to the list.


Tooka has gone through a lot of hell and has retreated into her shell in order to mentally survive. I know, I've been there in "the pit" as I like to call it. But she's a fighter and she'll fight her way out of it.

Just don't surrender your imagination in the process, dear. It is a very good thing to have.
