Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Depth of Field: Ai to Nikushimi Gekijou

(ow, sorry for the mistakes I'll do, even if they'll make your eyes bleed. France rpzt !)

So, Depth of Field...
I was... surprisingly... surprised. One thing very important is that I saw each episode with at least a week between each of them (it's the way I oblige myself to look animes I'm waiting from, haha). And at the beginning I was very suspicious about the story... "What da heck is happening ?!"

This was mostly because it seemed to be very different from the main first season.
But... At the end, we soon get back on tracks ! And come back to the Slice of Life style ... we (well, at least I) love. This is a thing I really appreciated: starting with a mecha and yet being a SoL and School Life.

Another things... the art.
I'm not a huge fan of mecha, so I wasn't suppose to enjoy this that much. But... KyoAni... Gosh, how great it was ! I didn't see such beautiful engines since Macross Zéro ! The movements are fluent, the details are great... Nothing to say, "kampeki" !
The sound was nice too. I especially loved the music of the 6th episode.
For the characters... Well, no need to precise anything.

At the end, I put 8/10 which is "Very Good", and a great mark for me. I'd say that it's a must for anyone who watched Chuunibyou and enjoyed it.

People who didn't see Chuunibyou can give a look too, but they wouldn't enjoy it as much as those who saw it... I guess.

To conclude: give a look !

This anime is a spin-off? I can't say it like that tho because at the end they reveal its all just imagination, same like in the anime. One thing for sure is that this anime is a fan service for Mecha genre fans out there. And I'm not one of them. So when i watch all the short 7 episodes, its feel like a chore. Every episode is 3 minutes long on average, so you can finish this anime in one sitting. What is really love is the ending. I'm not embarrassed to say that i am almost crying at the end there. Not only ... because the Mecha story, but also because Rikka relationship with Yuuta.

Art is obviously very very great. The fighting animation and the robot all looks well made. They use the same artstyle as the main anime. I can't compare the animation to other Mecha anime because i never watch one. But i think i can safely say that this is beautiful. The apocalyptic city in the background really fit the whole vibe this fight bring. At first I'm not really enjoying it because its just filled with action. But near the end is one of the most beautiful story i ever watch.

This is a short story about one of Rikka and Dekomori's fantasies. For some reason they split it up into seven 3-minute long segments - each one with the same 23-second long intro and 30-second long outro.

I think the story itself was fine, but nothing special. I would've given it a 5/10 if it had all been one 15-minute long video, but I took a point off for the unnecessary padding the extra intros and outros added. They really were quite annoying.

The art and animation in the fantasy was the best part; it wasn't movie quality, but it was still nice to ... look at.
