There's nothing to see here, just another generic moe anime.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! is another one of KyoAni's generic moe anime that have little to no story, and is just plain moe + humor. They've done this style so many times, that it's getting just annoying watching them repeat the same style for each anime they do. Why are they stuck on the moe train? Do they really only want to appeal to the otakus who watch anime, not for it's story, for the character's "moeness"? KyoAni is wasting their talent on these "moeblobs", when they could be using their quality animation on bigger ... and better things.

First, story. What story? Chunnibyou doesn't have a story. It's pure moe and humor as I said above. It has some "action" scenes, that really couldn't be anymore pointless, because they're not really happening, it's just in their imagination. The humor is funny at times, but really, I think I've smiled maybe two or three times during 10 episodes. It's just not that funny. The characters overexaggerate to anything that it just makes me facepalm it rather then try to force myself to find it amusing. It's not funny.

Art and Sound are both fine, as expected from KyoAni. Nothing more to say here.

Now for the Characters, this is where I'm really going to rip on this anime.
The MC, Yuuta Togashi, is as generic as you can possibly think of. His personality is as generic as ever. I can really name over 50 other male MCs who act the same exact way as he does. And I can also name over 50 other male MCs who even resemble him. He's the definition of a generic MC. He's your typical, dumb male main character, who is socially awkward, and a bit of a nerd. Yep, I've never seen this before! Just as any other male MC, he wouldn't know if a girl liked/loved him if she shouted in his ear "I FUCKING LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT". He probably say "Huh..? What do you mean? You think apples are good?" A lot of anime today seem to have a fetish to make the male MC as dumb as possible. Why do they do this? I wonder...

The female MC, Rikka Takanashi, is again, another generic character with no personality what-so-ever. She might as well be a copy of Mei Misaki from "Another", except her eye patch is on the opposite eye and she isn't gothic. But their personalities are roughly identical. And when I say that, I mean they don't have personalities. Rikka, just like Mei, is your typical obscure female MC, who's true motives/goals are obscure. Rikka isn't special at all. She's boring and she doesn't do anything funny. When she has her rare serious moments, I really can't take them seriously because I haven't really become attached to her, or seen her act like a real human being. She's like a robot who doesn't know any better and doesn't respond to intelligence.

The other female characters, such as Shinka, Sanae, Kuzuha, are boring too. Sanae is probably the most interesting out of all of them, and that's not a good thing. Shinka is your sterio-typical cheerleader, who is self-centered and a drama queen. Sanae is there just for the moe and comedy. Kuzuha - I STILL don't know her purpose in this anime. She's the most boring out of all of them. She's often sleeping in random places, which was slightly funny the first 2 or 3 times, but now it's just lame and they keep over-using a gag that wasn't that funny to begin with. This reminds me of Fuko in Clannad, her appearances were annoying and as pointless as you can possibly imagine. Touka, or Rikka 2.0, is as boring and personality-less as Rikka.

I will finish this anime because it is only 12 episodes, but I do NOT recommend it. It's generic. I mean, if generic moe anime is your thing, and you don't give a fuck about character development, plot, then this anime is perfect for you. There are a lot of better anime out there than this one.
