The monkey scene broke me. I could not stop laughing.

The MOE at the end was to much for my frail heart to handle.

Great episode!!!

I was thinking that how this episode was less hnngggh than last episode but then I had a heart attack on that last line.

I liked Shichimiya's little reflection over her chuunibyou self, reminds me of the near end of the first season.

From what I got, what KyoAni tried to convey is that Satone was on a methaphorical crossroad. Either she grew out of her Chuunibyou in order to become Yuuta's lover or she remained on her state as an eternal child. Kind of like Peter Pan where in order to fully love Wendy, Peter has to grow out of his childish games.

In the end like Peter Pan, Sophia decided to stay a child forever and thus discard her affections. I argue that it wouldn't have worked even if she chose Yuuta over her Chuuni because Yuuta wasn't willing to grow up at that time so it would have only ended in disappointment.

What I don't like is that KyoAni is making it look as if loving life and creativity is the polar opposite of being in tune with reality and being a functional human being.

Sophia thus makes the question to Rikka, of whether she's willing to grow out of her Chuuni in order to be with Yuuta or be an eternal child like her. I'm betting with the way KyoAni is playing it safe, that Rikka will leave her Wicked Eye to Dekkomori and the stalker girl will become Deko's servant to continue the legacy.


And yet I disagree with this for one reason. What is the reason why Sophia is still Chunni now? If she stayed chunni because she couldn't handle her feeling towards Yuuta, then now she could become normal and it not be a problem. Yuuta has grown out of his Chunni phase so it would be pointless for sophia to continue.

I really wish that Satone would end up with Yuuta but nope sadly he is stuck with Rikka and their relationship which is closer to father and daughter than a couple. Even at the end when she said she loved him it sounded like some kid saying it to their dad.

Really Rikka does not have an actual personality just Chuunibyou and occasionally just kicks up some half assed drama like todays episode which btw was not Yuuta's fault but everyone decided to blame him for whatever reason. Satone is Chuunibyou but she is also a proper character with an actually personality. Well anyway the reason i stuck with this second season is pretty much because of Satone and i guess Nibutani as well.


Completely false. The whole point of this anime, is the depth and complexity of Rika's character. The main conflict is her S1 Chunni and the fact that she's using as an escape because she can't handle the reality. The Drama was exposing the vulnurible part of her and helping her come to terms with it.

In season 2 Rika has come to terms with her issues, and I feel like she's a different character now. She is Chunni in part because she likes acting that way. She has fun doing it. I truely think in season 1 she wouldn't be able to fully tell the difference between her fanstasies or reality, or to understand it she would have to make it into something chunni. Now she is a more serious character, There are times when she acts like her old chunni self and other times when she is serious, or she would breifly become serious when she needed to. The main conflict in her comming to terms with her feelings for Yuuta. But I don't think that she needs to stop being chunni! She's just not mature enough to always express how she feels, and Yuuta seems ok with that.

Faust91x said:

I prefered S1 Rikka. It would be a huge troll move if in the end Yuuta chose Satone or even just broke up with Rikka. The fact he wondered if his feelings for Rikka may be misguided could hint at that if only KyoAni wasn't playing it safe...

If they broke up it would be a painful reminder that reality and growing up sometimes forces people to grow apart. If Rikka chose her Chuuni like Sophia and Yuuta decided to advance, there would be no option but to break up.

Not that I believe that will happen, but it would be interesting.


And yet I disagree, Rika tried to be normal once it went aweful. The whole point of the ending in season 1 was her resolving her issues, but at the same time it's ok to be herself. You don't need to stop acting chunni. Now perhaps Rika will have to find a better way to express that side of her, but that's different. The way the relationship is progressing now isn't really being hurt by her chunni, so I don't see a need to have a moment where she has to choose between being chunni or having Yuuta.

I think Satone is plotting something. I wonder what?

What's with the speculation that Sophia made that website? I think her role is done now. Well, I don't really remember anything about the coin so maybe not. But I'm pretty sure the one who made that website is the girl who was STALKING them and appearing in the background these past episodes. It is obviously a new character that is yet to be introduced.


Yes, maybe is the stalker girl. But I'm sure it's somewhat related to Sophia in some way or another. I'm seeing all this website thing as some kind of plot. The stalker girl was always there as is Satone, and she's the troublemaker here.

She decided to leave her feelings at the side in order to keep being a Chuuni. Maybe that's why she has been chasing Yuuta, maybe she thought she had a chance but found Rikka had already taken her place.

Kinda tragic if that's the case...

I just wish we knew a little more about Rikka's activities and thoughts beyond Chuuni games. We already had a thread to discuss what we knew of her and thus far we only know she likes playing Chuuni games, being with Yuuta and tending to a garden.

Satone only gave her that to ponder, we aren't making it. Who knows if KyoAni really plans to follow with this or it will turn completely different.

According to some that have read the novels, Satone has a very different purpose in the novel but it hasn't been followed up in the anime.

What I wish is that she was capable of holding a rational conversation without resorting to Chuuni terms, Sophia has a bigger advancement on that as she has held several somewhat normal conversations with Yuuta. Maybe we'll get there.

And I believe Rikka could make an awesome LARPER XD

Seems like Shichimiya has mixed reactions from people. As of right now, I think she's a good character. She seems to have her head in the right place but who knows? Her last words could be advice or some kind of plan to break them up.

We still have 5 episodes to go (as far as we know) so we'll see how it goes from here.

Kind of disappointed on Rikka. Her jealousy was cute at first, but she is a bit too jealous. Shichimiya is a bit mischievous, but so far I don't really see her really trying to steal Yuta from Rikka. However, it does seem she might have some lingering feelings for Yuta. Also, I wonder what is on that paper Rikka has, I think it is the same one she took from Yuta's book at the beginning of this season. Since she is way too jealous of Shichimiya, it makes me think that paper is either a picture of Shichimiya and Yuta, or a letter, or something that may suggest Yuta might have liked Shichimiya back in the past.

That flashback of Shichimiya and Yuta made me like Shichimiya a little bit more. I actually thought the way she was getting over her chuunibyou thing while she was with Yuta was cuter and better than what is currently happening between Rikka and Yuta.

The last line is truly Hhhhnnnnggggghhh!!!!-worthy.
I was having lunch and my sandwich fell apart on my lap T____T

I believe that Shichimiya had grown out of the Chuu-syndrome out of her love for Yuuta, but in order to stay with him she decided to carry on as normal and fake it. She's been chasing after him for a long time. I think in her mind there were only two options for her to have things work out with Yuuta, either stay Chuu and stick with him, or turn normal and leave him. I think that's why she's so confused with Rikka right now, since it seems to her that there was this third option that she had never thought possible (i.e. stay Chuu and still get together with him....). As someone mentioned before, this option probably wouldn't have been available before since Yuuta only turned normal a year or so ago.

I think in the end, Shichimiya will confess her feelings properly to Yuuta, who will then have to decide whether he wants a normal girl (Shichimiya), or to continue his relationship with Rikka in her current form. As things stand I do not believe that Rikka will turn normal just yet.

Oh and that scene where Shichimiya asked about Rikka's lovers contract with Yuuta, Rikka's "Yesh, budh whaddovit" was pure win!

I like Satone. Rikka...not so much.

The best part for me was the flashback between her and Yuuta.

I'm still trying to figure out Satone's role in the series and whether it'll be the same as what I've heard about in the LN. Though it doesn't seem to be going that way...

I'm a bit disappointed with the present relationship between her and Yuuta. Thought she'll have more obvious feelings for him.

I don't think Shichimiya got anything to do with the website, she didn't give any particular interest in mori summer and I think her role is to just be a rival to Rikka .
I guess I am with the team who thinks the website was created by Stalker-chan.

a new character? ... hmm, that's an interesting thought !

The new girl is annoying she always shows up at moments when you don't want to have her around still this time she didn't somewhat help with the relationship of Yuuta and Rikka, but she also interrupted it in the first place.
The ending of this episode was nice it's great to see some development between Riika and Yuuta and we really need more of that, it's one of the main things this season has been lacking so i am grateful to finally see it.

Question will they continue with development next week or will it be like the rest of this anime mainly focused in the second year syndrome.

The Japanese macaque part was pretty funny, probably my favorite part of this episode. Not sure what's with all the Shichimiya dislike, I don't see anything particularly annoying about her (okay except her laugh...)? I mean she was Yuuta's best friend in junior high as well as the source of his chuunibyou phase, they have a past together but it's clear that Yuuta has never thought of her in a romantic way. Shichimiya also doesn't seem to be trying to destroy Yuuta and Rikka's relationship either, at least not atm. I actually like her a lot so far, she's as interesting as Rikka was to me the first season. For some reason, I don't particularly care for Rikka in this season, and also less about Yuuta as well. Like someone said, despite Shichimiya having chuunibyou, she also seems somewhat mature.

From the title, I expected a love triangle to begin, but it look like they killed it in the egg. Which I'm glad.

Now we know more about Satone. Finally, I was starting to think that she was a secondary character...
