Personal Ratings: 3
Been waiting for it to have a 2nd season! The first season for this show was really quite unique and an interesting show. 

I guess the huge difference between the 1st season and the 2nd season is the appearance of the new character, Shichimiya. I was expecting quite a bit from her, though a little doubtful about what can she bring into this anime.
So firstly, I didn't think that she really brought anything into the anime, because I felt that since she's kind of like the more important character in the anime, that she should bring to the anime a lot.  I felt that there was a lack of focus in her character. Like she was focused in the beginning than forgotten in the middle and than brought back at the end, the inconsistency bothered me quite a bit. 

I felt like it was really boring from time to time. Some parts were really dry and it just didn't have that impact that the season 1 had. 
I'm thinking it's happening because the unique point of the anime just wasn't really there anymore. From the beginning of the anime, I felt that what made this anime really unique was the way Rikka spoke, the Chuunibyou-ness. But because of Rikka's and Yuuta's relationship with each other, Yuuta is and suppose to be able to deal with Rikka's Chuunibyou effortlessly. But because he is able to do that, I felt like there was a certain lost in enabling viewers to 'admire' the uniqueness in this show. 

The good part about this show is probably the focus on other characters. We get to see more of Kumin and more of the chuunibyou side of Nibutani and Yuuta. It was really quite fun to see the other side of the anime, other than the main relationship between Yuuta and Rikka.
