Maybe it's because they weren't expecting those things. This stuff's KyoAni, so good visuals and animation is usually a given. I thought people liked the fight in what I think was episode two of the first season though.

Personally I was looking for some closure or hints as to why Dekomori is so obsessed with her in the first place. Sure she followed Mori Summer and she's an idol of sorts to her, but especially the reaction in her room was pretty intense.

Well, let's continue with more confessing:
During my chuunibyou period I caught myself (and few times by family members) swinging a stick around like a sword and chanting randomly created words for some imaginary spells. I even managed to kind of influence one of my first friends ever so much that we kept trying to create a board game with RPG and TCG mechanics.

Confession:  When alone I still occasionally pretend to be wielding a sword (without having anything in my hands.  I'll often imagine it has some sort of energy ofr fire coming off of it) or calling lightning down with my hands(swing hand down, bolt comes down.  Swing other hand, another bolt.  Cross arms and raise them, as if charging, then swing them down, uncrossing them, massive thunderbolt drops).  More due to boredom than anything else, but eh, it's sort-of chuuni?

re: Chu-2 Ren Episodes Thus Far
I dunno, I kinda like the episodes so far, and the latest one's "fight" sequence was pretty neat(though the opening of it was kinda terrifying...), though I think this and the one before would have been better served as bonus episodes or OVAs or something.  I'd like to see the Shichimiya influence get greater so we can watch the fallout and stuff since that seems to be the most promising plot.

I dunno. I only seen 4 episodes so far (I watch 2 episodes at once), and I think this season is better than the first. A lot more dynamic and I think the comedy is better. And there's no "do I like her, do I like him" clich?d stuff (at least not that much, since there's a relationship going now), which is seriously annoying in animes now.

Basically the letdown of the series for me.

I didn't like the chuuni scenes in the first season and I still continue disliking them because it's not funny to see the characters being retarded. Aside that, I see the second season as more of the same and I am okay with it.

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
Rikka's father
, it gave the characters so much more needed development and not to mention
some of us audiences are a bunch of sadistic monsters who enjoy fictional tragedies
.

I just find it hard to relate to
Satone

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

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.

S2 was basically a disaster.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know what they ACTUALLY should have done with this season? Write a new story with new characters. Like, a chuuni dude and a normal girl, or something. Or not even a romance. Yuuta and Rikka's story is (and was) finished, but the premise still has plenty of potential.

Then again, with the shit writing this season it probably wouldn't have been any good anyway. ?\(?_o)/?
