Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren: The Rikka Wars

One normal school day, Rikka Takanashi notices Makoto Isshiki secretly passing a flash drive to Yuuta Togashi. Curious, Rikka talks to her friends about the case, who agree that Yuuta is hiding something from her. They decide to discover the contents of the flash drive by any means necessary, but to their surprise, it merely contained pictures of an idol that Yuuta adored back in middle school. However, Rikka takes offense, as she claims that this breaks their contract as lovers and demands Yuuta to return the flash drive.

Although having seen Yuuta return the flash drive, she still felt uncertain about the situation. This leads to her sneaking into Yuuta's room during the night, only to find out that the flash drive had not been returned! Scanning through its contents, she hurriedly rushes to bed when Yuuta enters her room. To her terror, she finds the flash drive crushed due to her negligence in keeping it in a safe place. Yuuta quickly finds out and demands an apology. However, Rikka too, demands an apology from him, resulting in both of them refusing to be the one to apologize first. Will the two lovebirds be able to resolve their argument?

Well hello there, Chuunibyou fans! Today we're gonna talk about The Rikka Wars, and boy, do I have some things to say.
First up, the story. It's quirky, it's cute, it's everything you'd expect from a romantic comedy anime. Sure, it's not the most original story out there, but who cares? You're here for the laughs, the tears, and the occasional cringe. And let me tell you, The Rikka Wars delivers.

Now let's talk about the art style. It's bright, it's colorful, it's almost as if someone vomited rainbows all over the screen. And I love it! It's perfect for the tone ... of the show, and it really helps to bring out the personalities of the characters.

Speaking of characters, let's move on to the three main ones: Rikka, Yuuta, and Kumin. Rikka is adorable, Yuuta is relatable, and Kumin is... well, she's there. But hey, you can't have a great anime without a few background characters, right?

Next up, the voice acting. It's spot-on. Rikka's chuunibyou lines are delivered with just the right amount of enthusiasm, and Yuuta's deadpan humor is perfect.

So what's my final verdict? Well, I'd give The Rikka Wars a solid 7.9 out of 10. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth watching if you're a fan of the genre. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good romantic comedy?

Overall, watching The Rikka Wars was like getting a hug from your grandma. It's warm, it's fuzzy, and it leaves you with a smile on your face. So go ahead, give it a shot. You won't regret it... unless you hate rainbows.

--------------------------------------

Halo para penggemar Chuunibyou! Hari ini kita akan membahas The Rikka Wars, dan saya memiliki beberapa hal yang ingin saya sampaikan.

Pertama-tama, ceritanya. Ceritanya unik, lucu, dan seperti yang Anda harapkan dari anime komedi romantis. Tentu saja, itu bukan cerita yang paling orisinal di luar sana, tapi siapa peduli? Anda di sini untuk tertawa, menangis, dan terkadang mengalami cringe. Dan biarkan saya memberi tahu Anda, The Rikka Wars memberikan semuanya.

Sekarang, mari kita bicara tentang gaya seni. Cerah, penuh warna, hampir seperti seseorang memuntahkan pelangi di seluruh layar. Dan saya suka itu! Ini sempurna untuk nada pertunjukan, dan benar-benar membantu untuk menunjukkan kepribadian karakter.
Berbicara tentang karakter, mari kita pindah ke tiga karakter utama: Rikka, Yuuta, dan Kumin. Rikka menggemaskan, Yuuta mudah didekati, dan Kumin... yah, dia ada di sana. Tapi hei, Anda tidak bisa memiliki anime yang bagus tanpa beberapa karakter latar belakang, kan?

Selanjutnya, akting suara. Sangat pas. Baris chuunibyou Rikka disampaikan dengan jumlah antusiasme yang tepat, dan humor deadpan Yuuta sangat sempurna.

Jadi, apa pendapat akhir saya? Yah, saya akan memberikan The Rikka Wars skor 7,9 dari 10. Itu tidak sempurna, tapi pasti layak ditonton jika Anda penggemar genre. Dan mari kita jujur, siapa yang tidak suka komedi romantis yang bagus?

Secara keseluruhan, menonton The Rikka Wars seperti mendapatkan pelukan dari nenek Anda. Hangat, berbulu, dan meninggalkan Anda dengan senyum di wajah Anda. Jadi, coba saja. Anda tidak akan menyesalinya... kecuali jika Anda membenci pelangi

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren: The Rikka Wars (2014)

Well, they did it again, they made an OVA that is better than the whole season in just a single episode. How have they done this twice in a row now! Honestly, I mean it honestly they have a very good episode here which is great from start to finish, and yet they couldn't get this level of enjoyment from the rest of the season.

The art, sound, and characters do not change at all as you would expect.

The enjoyment, however, is greatly improved, I think it is because you don't have enough time to ... process Yuuta and that makes it great. Dekomori still has the best voice acting and Sophia is great beyond belief.

In the end, we have a solid 8/10.

I very much liked S1 and S2. I don't know how they managed to make Yutta and Rikka genuinely unlikeable and dispicable characters in this episode. This series was so nice until this episode.
Right off the bat, the girls are suspicious of Yutta in a way that would be considered extremely toxic for a relationship. Yutta then when found out stubbornly sticks to his coomer brained nonsense. It was just embarassing and this made me dislike both characters.
I have no idea why people like this episode at all but hate s2. It makes no sense. Maybe constantly drama, and toxic mistrust is so common in ... today's relationships that people accept this as normal behaviour and find it relatable.
I'm gonna just pretend I didn't watch this before I watch the movies.
