| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  This was another entertaining episode. That new girl's voice is kinda....uh, weird. The cheer leading part was funny and Rikka seems to have the butterflies during the practice. So much abuse this episode. That dream and the imaginary fight with the broomsticks was pure epic. 5/5. Oh, the Engrish |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I was stunned when Rikka and Deko crawled on the floor fighting their epic battle. Dialogues are still brilliant. And Shinka joins the party as one would expected. I wonder if she has something weird in her too. Well, actually I think it's a given. Everyone in this club must have something. |
 |
| I literally LOL'ed at the 日本語でおｋ part, seriously. Also Nnap Club, pffff... Dekomori voice is so cute, but it's strange at the same time, she kinda remember me of how a prinny talks. Her shared "visions" with Rikka are so funny, the dialogues are so full of autism hahaha I've watched on a low quality stream on himado so I won't comment anything of the fight scene, it looked okay but I can't be sure. |

| Another new character and things are as interesting as usual. Good episode. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| Omg yes! Sanae finally makes an appearance and I loved every minute of it. That battle she had with Rikka was EPIC. Dat animation! Now that they've formed a club and Nibutani joined, the cast are finally in place and things can only get better from here. Speaking of Nibutani, she totally wants Yuuta. Maybe she's also a closet chuunibyou and has finally found a place where she can set herself free ;D. Whatever the case, a love triangle flag has been set. Will be interesting to see if it develops. |
 |
| MOE POWER OVER 9000. These winks are going to kill me!!!!!!! The new girls seems kinda annoying but meh we didn't learn much for her. The whole club idea is weird and the last member even more. I can't wait for the next ep :3 |
 |
| i enjoyed the episode for the most part. animation is awesome as usual. hoping for more development between yuuta and hair-clip girl (cant remember her name) |

| My side hurts from laguher after seeing Mjolnir Korven. XD |
 |
| Nice ep per usual :) loved the bit where rikka gets hit by the paper, great comedic timing/effect. Fight wasn't as epic as last weeks one but still pretty cool. <3 Shinka, so cute ^^ Sadly I doubt that is the true shipping combination this story will take...ahh well...there's always doujins :P |
| Good episode,really laugh most of it,dialogues still amazing and Sanae joining the club was nice specially his Mjolnir Korven XD Another epic fight,really the animation its outstanding,Rikka still crazy and moe as hell,her trying to be cheerleader was funny and nobody can beat her in a bridge. Also Rikka fails at catching a paper:P  At the end Shinka also joins the club...seems things will get better!! BTW another epic fight!! :P GIFS/Avatars/SIGs on the club!!http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=505873 |

| This show is so hillarious, I love how everyone except Yuuta plays along with Rikka's imagination. Shinka raises this show's moe levels from really high to >9000. Also the battle scenes still impress, I wonder what KyoAni would be capable of making if they made a mecha or action series. Also was it just me or did Rikka seem unhappy with Yuuta's reaction at the end. |

| Epic broom battle. A rather good episode. |
 |
| First 2~3 minutes... new girl appears and says "Death". First thing that came to mind, "Oh shit another one." /back to the episode. |
| Holy hell I never knew Yuuta was so gangster O_O |
| I bet Nibutani has chuunibyou :o |
| Well, here comes the club and ALL the GIRLS! I can't stop laughing in this episode. |
 |
| This was a good episode imo, and is it bad that I like some of the "fight scenes" in this anime more than some in actual action anime lol? |
 |
| Pretty good episode. I didn't really expect Sanae to be Rikka's "servant" though. I thought she would be one of those rich girls that took an interest in Yuuta. Hm... With Nibutani watching Yuuta and the circle together, I think she may have been jealous about the girls getting so close to Yuuta. With her waving and winking at Yuuta, I think that's a flag. I'm going to guess this is going to be a harem series as well. |
| AHH another one appeared!, i knew when he was about to eat that rice everyone was gonna react to it lol |

With her waving and winking at Yuuta, I think that's a flag. I'm going to guess this is going to be a harem series as well. I strongly doubt it, since, thankfully, the few interviews I've read from the director indicate that it's primarily a Yuuta x Rikka romantic comedy, which is great, because this turning into a harem would ruin the best element of the show, which is the Rikka and Yuuta dynamic. Even though I really don't think this is the case, I could slightly see the possibility of Nibutani liking him, but Sanae and Kumin have shown no signs whatsoever that they'll ever do so as well, and I hope and expect it to remain that way. |

| Why does this anime have too much awesome? So unfair to the other anime this season. |

EMChamp said: The possibility of Rikka x Yuuta is strong but I hope Sanae reverses that since that bed greeting tells me possible attraction there.Also was it just me or did Rikka seem unhappy with Yuuta's reaction at the end. Paul said: The more I think about it the more it refers back to Gogo from Kill Bill. I just remember that ball chain girl with the patch in school girl uniform.I was surprised too at the violence level but remember he is mentally sick to a certain extent despite trying the hardest to stop his disease or at least lessen the occurrences of it. I think soon he won't hold back and be his old self.First 2~3 minutes... new girl appears and says "Death". First thing that came to mind, "Oh shit another one." ThanatosPersona said: She can always betray at one point. I think she has potential in being tricky despite clumsy.I didn't really expect Sanae to be Rikka's "servant" though.

| Just downloaded something good looking, the animation for that fight scene was great. Also "Mori Summer". 森サマー. Shinka = 森夏 Mori + Natsu (summer) |
| Pretty damn funny episode! New girl, Sanae, was funny as hell, and I love the hair spinning gag when she wrapped herself up! Another 'mind's eye' fight scene. These are pure comedy gold, I need to show the scenes to some friends to get them hooked on this show! Nothing beats last weeks fight yet but we have a whole series to get an absolute gem. (Series end final battle with the sister should be immense!) |
 |
| He held that gun like a boss. Who knew he still kept that thing under his pillow. Looks like Yutta is gonna have his hands full with another delusional girl. lol The funniest moment for me was when Rikka called forth "Catherine" and the teacher asked her what she thought of Rikka. PS, Shinka Nibutani so has a crush on Yuuta. |
| No Idea how Nibutani can likes Yuuta in the 1st place. I hate these kind of love come from nowhere like that. The show needs at least one strong event for watchers to understand where is that " like or love" come from. Hope they will clear it in the future ep. |
| Well, another hnnnnggggg episode. Nibutani, for sure, has middle school disease. |
 |
| lmao at their reaction at lunch rikka in cheerleader outfit HNGGGG id join senpais nap club ;D new girl is just as much a handful as rikka. lol @ chimera and catherine electric ocean = internet? roflmao far eastern magic nap society LMAO |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |

All she's done so far is flirt a little, and you don't really need to 'like' someone to do that. Maybe Yuuta is a good looking dude. |

| This show's still hilarious for me. I don't fancy Sanae much, she seems pretty annoying, and I didn't find her to be all that funny. That said Rikka continues to be crazily awesome. I bet Nibutani has the Chuunibyou syndrome as well judging by how she wants to join their group XD. |
 |
| Another great episode Drama club members can't beat Rikka and look like Shinka has chuunibyou too Awesome broom duel |
| I loved this episode. It made me laugh so much. Nibutani has/had chuunibyou. Just wanna know why she was just standing outside the school pretty late. |
 |
| Rikka and Shinka moe level is too damn high. Shinka at the end with her wink was just <3. |
 |
| Lols when he put the gun to her head. Good episode cant wait for the next. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I may not have seen many anime comedies, but this series is one of the funniest! Perhaps I prefer chuunibyou/otaku humor (also enjoyed Oreimo) |
| The syndrome thing is maybe a little overboard, but I guess they are doing what they need to: run with the premise. They are doing what they need to do, although the cheese factor does get a little too high at some points for me. I'm going to stick with this. The episodes are getting laughts out of me and Rikka's reactions (not so much her monologues on !@#$@#) are priceless. I'm not too convinced on the new blonde character though... Her role and Rikka's in the group kind of overlap (so far at least). First KyoAni show to pass the three episode test since Clannad! |

| Second hand embarrassment and lots of facepalm Only bearable atm for me since im finding it highly amusing to watch lol |
| Although it wasn't quite as good as the second, this was still a great, highly enjoyable episode. I felt that this episode was terrifically paced, allowing for a thoroughly entertaining balance between the introduction of Sanae and the forming of what is essentially the chuunibyou club. The lighthearted, embarrassing tone works really well in creating an atmosphere that is quite interesting and engaging. One of the only criticisms I have of this particular episode is that Rikka seemed to be more of a secondary character, thus creating a noticeable lack of the Rikka and Yuuta dynamic, which remains the best element of the show by far. The best moment was, of course, yet another of Rikka's wildly imaginative delusions that are illustrated by way of an action sequence. I always like the transitions from the fantastical illusion to the mundane reality, such as, in this case, Sanae and Rikka rolling along on the floor. Aside from the fight, my favorite scene involved Rikka feeding a willing Yuuta, followed by the class attentively clapping, effectively illuminating the gradually altered nuances of his personality, due to Yuuta's interaction with her becoming increasingly natural and familiar. Their relationship and, by extension, their interactions, is the most interesting, enjoyable aspect of the show, so it was a bit disappointing to see that element temporarily overshadowed by a multitude of other developments throughout this episode. Since their relationship provides the most opportunity for character development and growth, I'm really looking forward to the return of that focus. Yuuta's reluctance to join the club was unfortunate, since I feel this was a missed opportunity to continue the portrayal of a gradual deterioration of his hesitant nature, since he'll now likely join solely due to Nibutani's unexpected involvement. The engrish exchange with the teacher was hilarious, particularly due to the teacher's ability to effortlessly play along with Rikka's embarrassing delusion. Sanae is a surprisingly good character so far. Her mutual appreciation for delusions provides some hilarious interactions with Rikka. Despite this, her characterization is a bit lacking though, as she's occasionally a bit too similar to Rikka's own personality. Although Nibutani is pretty likable, she's definitely the worst, least interesting character up to this point. Her joining the club was predictable, and, hopefully, rather than indicating she likes Yuuta, it's instead a sign that she possesses chuunibyou tendencies as well, which would be excellent character development for her, while also serving as an instrument to dissolve Yuuta's needless affections for her. As such, Yuuta's continual infatuation with Nibutani has become quite tiresome and unnecessary, given the distinct inevitability that he'll fall for Rikka, since, of course, this is their story. I'm assuming the subtle hints that Nibutani might like Yuuta are basically used in an attempt to throw off expectations. Of course, I'm also hoping that Nibutani doesn't have any feelings for Yuuto, since a triangle would likely depreciate the natural development of Rikka and Yuuta's relationship, and she wouldn't have a chance anyway, so it'd ultimately be a waste of time. The production values are, for the most part, terrific. Though frequently understated, the direction is really good, due to it's subtle confidence in establishing the contrast in atmosphere and tone between the playful moments in reality and the dramatic nature of the action sequences. The animation continues to be superbly consistent, displayed most notably throughout the fantastic fight, while also impressing with it's ability to capture Rikka's movements in a wonderfully exaggerated fashion. The music is relatively unspectacular, but occasionally great. All in all, Chuunibyou manages to consistently exceed my expectations, and it's definitely becoming one of the best shows of the season. Despite this, I do feel the story would benefit considerably with an increased focus on the development of Yuuta and Rikka's relationship, which I assume is imminent, and, although I enjoy the lighthearted tone of the story, I'd also prefer a heightened level of realism towards the narrative's conclusion, in which, through Yuuta's help, Rikka is accepting of her need to essentially relinquish a portion of her childhood. Also, Touka's easily best girl, followed closely by Rikka. Nibutani is the worst girl. She's still good, but definitely the worst. |

| Not bad for a generic comedy show. The quirkiness is reminiscent of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. |
