with hyouka not selling to haruhi, k-on, and lucky star levels, this one better make it up or kyoani will go down the drain

I doubt KyoAni has any expectation of this selling more than Little Busters!. And if you want to make comparisons, you could just as easily say "K-ON! sold like 40k and Little Busters only would have sold like 20k so KyoAni clearly made the right choice". Or you could go back to Nichijou and have said the same thing already... basically, the LB! situation has been years in the making (or non-making), so pinning it specifically on Chuu2Byou seems unfair. It's not as simple as "Oh we'd rather do Chuu2Byou, nothx on LB!."

Either way just judging from that char design, pose and toy gun she's holding I can tell I'm going to love this show.

I expect the density of action scenes is significantly higher than it'll be in the show proper, but it looks goddamned amazing regardless. Not that anyone should have expected anything less. I'm in love with Rikka already and even the male protag ought to be pretty amusing (I predict much fun embarrassment as he recalls his chuunibyou past thanks to Rikka). I feel like KyoAni alone in the industry has a consistent track record of likable male leads. Most other studios, with few exceptions, are maybe 50/50 at best for me.

But man, Rikka. She looks like a complete riot. Kobato and Kuroneko are kind of the premiere chuunibyou girls in anime recently, but Rikka looks like she's taking that in an even more delusional and hyperactive direction. Cannot wait.

Dat KyoAni animation! Seriously KyoAni impresses with every new anime. With that level of quality you'd think it was a movie, jesus.

the plot says that the mc used to be "Chuunibyou" but what does "Chuunibyou" mean?

Yvese said:
If you're asking what chuunibyou is, it's commonly defined as a grown person acting like a junior high kid, or someone that indulges in fantasies.

For example, Okarin from Steins;Gate likes to think he's a mad scientist. Kobato from Haganai who portrays herself as the 'mistress of the night'. Kuroneko from Ore no Imouto is another example. A real life example would be a grown up doing naruto hand seals ><

Basically, if you like those character types ( I love them as seen from my profile :P ), then this anime is for you.
