Anyway, as I've said in the title, it's time for more chuuni action!!!! I've decided not to give points to the OVA as they are mostly just for laughs and usually does not contribute much to the overall series. SO...I will only talk about the two movies of Chuunibyou Demo Koi Shitai!
WARNING:-
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!!
P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
Introduction
Movie no. 1!!!
OK, let's start the introduction. The first movie that I'm gonna talk about is the movie, 小鳥遊六花・改 ~劇場版 中二病でも恋がしたい!~ (translates as Takanashi Rikka Kai: Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Movie), which is also named Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions: Rikka Version. The movie is made by Kyoto Animation, directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and is written by Jukki Hanada Studio. It was released on September 14, 2013, and has a runtime of 96 minutes
That is the poster for the Take on Me movie.
The second movie that I'm gonna talk about is 映画 中二病でも恋がしたい！ -Take On Me-, or in English, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take on Me. It is directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and animated by Kyoto Animation. It premiered in Japan on January 6, 2018, and has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks and Madman Entertainment. Also, do I need to say that this series is originally a light novel series? And also, the story on the anime is completely different from the original story. OK, time to move on.
Let's go into the Chu2 world!!!!!
Plot
Time for the flashback...
OK, let's start. Takanashi Rikka Kai is an interesting movie but it is mostly a summary of the events in Chunibyou season 1 being told through the perspective of Rikka. Of course, there is some original story that is a continuation of the previous season but it is mostly about the flashbacks in season 1. Nothing much new. So, with that, I'm gonna move on to another movie with a more prominent story.
What an imagination...
The movie Take on Me is another very interesting movie. It starts with the usual Chuunibyou anime running gag and also the possibility that Rikka will leave Japan with Tooka, her older sister. With the encouragement of the usual gang, Rikka and Yuuta decided to go on a "trip" to run away from Tooka. Wow...Anyway, the story is mostly about Dekomori Sanae and Nibutani Shinka chasing after the couple even though they are the one who egged them on to go on this "trip". Why? They are being blackmailed by Tooka, Rikka's super sister (and seriously, why isn't she being called a stalker yet?!).
That fight...once again.
Even though this trip is a "run-away-from-home" classical story, there are interesting, funny things and also drama on the way. And also, the running gag involving Shinka and Sanae throughout the movie is absolutely hilarious. The internal conflict in Rikka regarding her second identity (or "inside identity" as I would like to call it) and her love for Yuuta. The ending is pretty interesting, which ends with attending Tooka's marriage in Italy. LOL! Anyway, there is nothing I could say here. Let's move on.
Sweet...
Anime Rating
Takanashi Kai
Story (Rating: 7/10)
There is not much story, as I've mentioned. The plot of the story is mostly a flashback, a few flashes of Yuuta's pre-anime past and the present story post-1st season of the anime. There is not much of a flow and pacing to be said of but a summary and flashback on the story of season 1 of the series.
Yuuta...the Dark Flame Master.
Art and Animation (Rating: 10/10)
The character is still looking really good, as usual. The animation is pretty consistent and amazing as ever, like season 1. The imaginary fight is just amazing. Just amazing.
Wow...what an animation...
Sound and Music (Rating: 6/10)
Decent opening and ending theme song. Not my cup of tea though. And also, the background music is well-placed.
Snow...
Characters (Rating: 8/10)
Character development is basically non-existent, to be honest. I dun mind that since it is mostly a flashback movie. The only reason why I still rate is the nostalgia and the good character is brought from season 1.
Yuuta returns...
Enjoyment (Rating: 10/10)
I did enjoy it. The nostalgia again...And also the continuation part from season 1 is quite well-structured although it is mostly flashbacks. Good stuff there, especially for Chuu2 fans. To be honest, since it doesn't have much of its own content there, so I gave a pretty low mark for most of them.
That part...lol!
Overall Rating: 8.2 (7.75)/10
Take on Me
Story (Rating: 10/10)
The plotline of the story is pretty plain in terms of story pattern as it involves a chasing "game" but the emotions and tension during the chase are what captivates the audience. The story flows pretty well and has good pacing. The story is pretty much easy to understand.
The train ride that kickstarts the chase...
Art and Animation (Rating: 10/10)
Amazing art and animation are pretty much a staple for the Kyoto Animation's Chuunibyou series. The characters are well-drawn and the fighting (in their imagination) are pretty well-made.
That fight...oh, how nostalgic!
Sound and Music (Rating: 8/10)
The BGM is well-placed and well-made. As for the theme songs, it is pretty decent. It is nice that there are some old theme songs from the past seasons.
What are you doing, Rikka?!
Characters (Rating: 10/10)
The characters...it is really a good one. Cute and interesting characters. And also, character development, it is hardly being portrayed, to be honest...until nearing the end of the movie. The development is mostly about Rikka and Yuuta's relationship. Relatability? I'm not too sure about that though...
Time for confrontation...
Enjoyment (Rating: 10/10)
I enjoyed the Chuunibyou series overall, including this movie. The series is colourful and amazing in terms of animation. I like the running gags and light-hearted scenes. Good stuff there.
LMAO! This part!
Overall Rating: 9.6 (9.5)/10

Well, that's the end. Oh, I'm not gonna give an overall rating as they are actually separate from each other. Anyway, I'm planning to tear apart Arifureta in the next post. I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this blog once again. And also, this is Goodbye, and God bless you!

Hi, people. Welcome!!!! Today, once again, I'm here to talk about anime! Wait...since when I'm not doing that? Well, I have just watched No Game No Life Zero recently. It was amazing but sadly, still no season 2. We might have to wait since the movie just came out about less than a year ago (as per the date when the post is written). Found this on the internet. Nice, isn't it? So...let's move on and talk about No Game No Life! I will only briefly introduce the movie to you as I will do a separate topic on the movie itself. Anyway, let's get back to the topic at hand and start!!! WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!!
