Summary
Togashi Yuta is a boy who, during junior high school, had "adolescent delusions", believing himself to be a 'Dark Flame Master' and alienating himself from his classmates. Finding his past embarrassing, Yuta attempts to start off high school with a clean slate, free from his old delusions. This proves to be difficult, however, as another delusional teen, a girl named Takanashi Rikka, learns of Yuta's other identity and becomes interested in him.

Personal Ratings: 3.5
A really unique shoujo anime. Even though at first I did not understand wad Chuunibyou means, I later then realised it was something like play pretend. 

When the animes for this season came out, I really had the least expectations for this anime, because I didn't see how they could progress it with such a storyline. However, as the anime goes, I find myself getting more and more attached to this anime. It's very fun to see how Rikka pretends to have powers and does all the cool actions and random imaginations in her own brain. I also find that the way she talks is very mysterious, but i totally liked it. Although Yuuta has to translate her words for us. 

The pace for this anime was really consistent, not to fast and not to slow. 
I think the animators and voice actors really knew how to express the emotions felt my the characters in a unique and unexpected way.


Art ratings: 3.5
I actually kind of like the art, love the way they animate the hair, fluffy fluffy! But the colours of the eyes are a little weird. I cannot really understand why. Like it's to light? Bright? Other then that, i really love the animation and the designs for their clothes. The only thing that i was not really satisfied with was the fact that (in Rika's imagination) their weapons looked really uncool and almost too huge for the person that is using it. They should have come out with some thing smaller yet personalized.
