Having 8th Grader's Syndrome All Over Again! [Chūnibyō Ren Thread]

[Warawau]

Too bad the new season is not that good...

[Lunarethic]

Careful now. If you watch closely, very closely...you can almost see the plot moving...

[Space Flower]

Plot is overrated. More healing please.

[Edible]

Lesbians.

[Stuffman]

Well that was kind of a lame payoff for so much setup.

(If you didn't catch it, that fake Mori Summer is seen stalking the group in almost every episode.)

So, I guess they have four episodes left to make this season worthwhile. Will they succeed?

...Of course not, Kyoani can't write for shit, they can only do adaptations :|

srsly

[Gpop]

well fuck now I'm obligated to go back to the previous episodes to see her.

Does this go back to season 1 and the OVA? Because I swear if it does.

[Stuffman]

Nah, just this season. They're not easy to spot. Offhand I can find:

Episode 2: [attach=1]

Episode 4: [attach=2]

Told myself I wasn't going to like Shichimiya.

Spoiler:

Lies. I tell myself lies a lot.

Spoiler:

Lies. I tell myself lies a lot.

I'm suffering because Suchimiya is my favourite

Spoiler:

and I have a very good idea how things will end based on what I heard ;_;

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Shichimiya has been friendzoned hasn't she...

so sad....

she needs to be the best character.

[Gpop]

This is like Oreimo all over again

Except with a more likable main girl

and hopefully a less painful rejection to screw over the fans

(but seriously I hate when they bring a girl that I start liking more than the others but it's obvious she won't win)

[Amraphenson]

Spoiler:

That fucking hurt.

[Gpop]

Chuunibyou stop

Spoiler:

I love Satone too much to be able to handle this ;_;

[BT]

Y'know, I was gonna be a contrarian and say I didn't like her after last week's episode - which was kind of true - but I changed my mind. Within the first minute, actually. That scene was buckets of fun.

[pineyappled]

i can't take this


satone no

[DNAbc]

apparently the lack of conflict in this season is a bit jarring. to me.

Given the first season actually had a healthy degree of agony surrounding

Spoiler:

Rikka's father

, it gave the characters so much more needed development and not to mention

Spoiler:

some of us audiences are a bunch of sadistic monsters who enjoy fictional tragedies

.

I just find it hard to relate to

Spoiler:

Satone

. :V Sorry guys.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

SOPHIA IS OLEV

SOPHIA IS LIFE

SOPHIA IS CHUUNIBYOU

AND THAT IS QUITE ALRIGHT

[Silent Harmony]

Marathoned the first season a while ago and loved it, especially the second half. I was afraid that this season wouldn't hold up with the whole "love rival" storyline that's been done to death, but this has been a refreshing take on it.

This last episode especially made me tear up a little at the end. That face at the end.  I love how Crunchyroll's summary

Spoiler:

describes Yuuta's ignorance as being "to the point of cruelty." It's perfectly accurate.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Yuuta， please die, don't hurt Satone anymore....

[Amraphenson]

Fuck Satone owns a stick.
She fightan.
That's not fair Kyoani.
That's not fair at all.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

I am the saddest person on this world.
because it is the worse.
why oh why break her heart like this.
but...

so conflicted.

[DNAbc]

Spoiler:

Isshiki is so pitiable. I mean he doesn't deserve that treatment, nor does Satone, who's supposed to be the antagonist. Give me my beloved Chu2 with hidden depths back Kyoaniiiiii.

[Edible]

S2 was basically a disaster.

[DNAbc]

Did the original author actually write the story himself, or was Kyoani pulling the strings behind the scenes. The gap in styles is very much obvious and therefore jarring to the viewers.

I saw spoilers about what happened in the light novel.

Spoiler:

I think they definitely pulled strings in this one. They didn't even include the part where Satone supposedly kidnapped Rikka out of jealousy, which I was expecting (and frighteningly so, as I still like Satone the most in this series). I'm fairly certain they took that out entirely into what was put in the anime

Correct me if I'm wrong though guys. I never actually read it, just what I heard.

[Jq1790]

Somehow it took me til like episode 10 to realize it, but I know why I liked Satone so much.  I -was- her when I was in  high school.  That'd be the second time I've felt this type of connection to an anime character, and it's quite the interesting feeling.

Haven't watched the finale yet since CR doesn't have it out for free members yet, but I've rather enjoyed this season thus far, though some of the earlier episodes felt like they would have been best used as OVA side stories rather than being put in the main season.

Can't wait til the first season comes over here in...May, I think it was.  Hopefully they'll release Chu2Ren here as well so we can have the complete set.

[Solais]

Finished it. While in the beginning I thought it was better than the first with a more dynamic humor, in the end it seemed like that the premise wore thin and just wasn't that interesting anymore. It just felt that there wasn't that big of a hit at the end and nothing really moved forward after the first few episodes. Which is okay, it was basically the premise of the season, I feel (change but no change), but still. It could have been more interesting.
