| I like Nibutani cause she's hot, I don't care what other pp think about her. I also like Rikka's sister and Kumin but I don't like Rikka cause she's so silly *sigh. |
| Cool to see that Shinka is a more complex character than she originally let on. She's obviously very self-conscious about her chuunibyou, it'll be interesting to see how she deals with it from here on out. |
| Haha.. so that is Nibutani's true personality!.. And that old dark flame master personality of the MC sending a love confession to a girl.. Haha.. |
| Rikka is still the best. I never really liked Nibutani much from the beginning, is it only me that likes her a LITTLE bit better now? Why does everyone think she's a bitch anyways? Okay, maybe a little. But not everyone can be perfect right lol. Anyways lol I loved this episode it was so funny. Rikka ~ Yuuta > Sanae > Kumin > Nibutani > Others |
| Don't know why so many people are starting to hate Nibutani just because she has a more interesting personality. Personally, I find the always nice nice kind of female characters incredibly boring and annoying, so seeing Nibutani have a complete switch of personality was a very nice surprise and should make the character dynamics all the more interesting. However, Rikka is still number one. |
 Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun... |
| This episode was quite good and highly enjoyable, but it was also probably my least favorite, due largely to how inconsistent it was. The first half was mediocre, while the latter half was excellent, since Nibutani disposed of her "perfect" facade, which allowed for a much more interesting story to take place. Despite this, I recognize the episode as a necessary bridge between Yuuta's superficial attraction of Nibutani and the gradual establishing of his romantic interest in Rikka. Although the story didn't particularly interest me throughout the first half, I felt the episode, as a whole, was paced really well. Though it was certainly expected, I didn't particularly like that Yuuta chose to join the club solely due to the shallow attraction he has towards Shinka, but this is a rather insignificant complaint. The largest criticism I have is that, due to Shinka being far too prevalent throughout, Rikka, as in the previous episode, seemed to be forced into the role of a secondary character, which doesn't exactly benefit the story, since her interactions with Yuuta are easily the best element of the show. Thankfully, the latter half of the episode strongly allayed my temporary fears that this would turn into the Yuuta-Shinka show, so hopefully the story returns to focusing on the far more engaging and enjoyable dynamic of the relationship between Yuuta and Rikka. Rikka stumbling upon and consequently becoming embarrassed by Yuuta's dirty magazine was easily my favorite scene in the episode. The humor, for the most part, worked quite well, especially Sanae and Rikka's fantastic interactions. Sanae's enthusiastic admiration towards Rikka is quite amusing. Kumin's also pretty likable, but, unfortunately, she hasn't been given much to do. Despite it's predictability, I really like that Nibutani was revealed as Mori Summer, due mostly to what that means for Yuuta, since his interactions with "normal" Shinka essentially diminished his character into a one-note repetition. Her separate personality, though intriguing in it's surprising contrast, is pretty unlikable. At least the chuunibyou aspect of Shinka's true self actually gives her dynamic characterization and an interesting personality, since she definitely didn't possess one before. Now that her true motivations have been revealed, it's great that she doesn't appear to have any sort of romantic interest in Yuuta. Hopefully, now that he's been "rejected", he can finally move past his temporary crush on worst girl, which would consequently allow Rikka and Yuuta's relationship to properly develop. The production values remain consistently impressive, as illuminated by the entertaining end to the episode, in which Shinka and Sanae fight for the book she had written. This brief action sequence was, once again, really well-animated and excellently choreographed. The dynamic facial reactions are depicted particularly well. The altered OP is actually pretty good, since it's no longer "seizure-inducing". All in all, Chuunibyou, despite it's occasional, but temporary narrative flaws, continues to exceed expectations with it's execution and a thoroughly likable cast of characters. It will be interesting to see which direction the story will take, since the club has been fully assembled. I love that, so far, Rikka appears to be the only one that's romantically interested in Yuuta, and I hope it remains that way. As such, I'm expecting far more focus on Rikka and her gradually developing relationship with Yuuta as the story progresses. |
 |
| oh, look. a busty high school cheerleader who's actually a two-faced bitch... ...LOL yeaaaaaa that's original "character dynamic!" if anything, we're falling deeper into character archetypes of the harem genre |
 |
| Great ep i lol a lot, also i glad that the op isn't seizure any more cause on the last op make my eyes dizzy. |
| lol Shinka has a bad temper never expected that since she is cheerful, Shinka is more hot now and what a funny episode the fight scenes are awesome as usual |
| Awesome Episode; Loved Every Bit Of It First of All - A Subtle Hint Of Yuuta X Rikka Dark Flame Master's Confession - Totally Out The World!!!

| Can Sanae go jump in a fire? Seriously everything she emphasizes DESU I want to strangle her |

| Rikka still steals the show (that flour bag!), although Nibutani's true colours was pretty funny. Taihaku said: Can Sanae go jump in a fire? Seriously everything she emphasizes DESU I want to punch her in the face She does get kind of annoying, but I guess this is exactly what they are going for? I don't dig her character design either too, which kind of contributes to it. Also, doesn't it bother Nibutani that everyone else knows that she has joined the club? |
 |
| lol Everyone's hatin' Nibutani now. Her personality twist is actually what's making me like her. Much better than that ~perfect sweet cute love interest~ persona |
| C'est la vie, in regards to Shinka's personality change. I suppose I can root for Rikka without feeling conflicted now. Sanae actually won some points with me this episode, though... |
| Lol this is hilarious |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
Oh Rikka, you're so silly. |
| Dawk Flame-u Mastah!~ |

| Remade OP cool. Shinka's Chuuni past was totally unexpected ! Even her personality went 180 degrees! That was quite a shock knowing that she went from the cute idol girl to the other self personality. Might expect some awesome episodes next time now that we have 4 chuunibyou's. Also, I'd really love to see Dark Flame Master fight and would go all badass on them. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |

I love her accent and her "-DESU" xD And how she spins her pigtails to attack is so cute as well xD |

It's just something about her spinning like an idiot that really irritates me.

Your new profile pic is nice but I found your last profile pic more... um *drools* lol Poyo Poyo! |
| HAHA that was too funny XD Nibutani and Yuuta have such similar pasts. Good comedy made my laugh a lot :) |
| I knew Nibutani was one of those chuuni people. I honestly didn't think that she would be but her joining the circle is kind of odd... My image of Nibutani completely shattered. :( Well, this was a pretty decent episode. It was kind of how stubborn Dekomori doesn't believe Nibutani is Mori Summer, even after the fight. It's sad that this series is ONLY 12 episodes long. I want to see the girl in this picture: |
| Yes!!! They change the OP! Favorite episode yet! I love the real Nibutani! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Seizure OP is gone :( still a very funny episode i knew something was up with Nibutani from the start she finally showed us her true colors lol to think she had it too! just what this show needed someone with a cold bitchy attitude. for now seems like Kumin is the only *normal* one beside the fact shes getting infected |
 |
| Don't like Mori Summer, Shinka was way better, personality wise. Now Sanae has overtaken her on my list. Despite not having much screentime, Kumin is a little bit above rikka by now. Loved her sleeping in that scrifical circle XD and then grabbing onto shinka's leg Also, Rikka finding Yuuta's porn stash = WIN Also, I hope in the end, Yuuta confesses to Rikka.... Dark Flame Master style |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Nibutani is a complete bitch lol this anime doesn't fail to make me laugh good episode. However I'm going to spoil the show right now with this shocking prediction Yuuta will some how hurt Rikka by making fun of her or insulting her hobby and to cheer her up by becoming the Dark Flame master once again and then then he confesses his love for her....classic anime story conclusion but the anime funny moments are more than enough to keep me entertained. |
| Rikka is the best character in this show so far. If this show is TMOHS, then Rikka would definitely be Haruhi. When her eccentric and alluring personality is on display, the show shines brightest. In my opinion, this episode was a little weaker than the others because it didn't have enough Rikka. The highlight of the episode was her finding those ecchi magazines under his bed! Hopefully they amplify the romance between Rikka and Yuuta. It has been largely (but not entirely) missing for the first four episodes. After this episode, I can say I will not be rooting for NibutanixYutta or the harem ending. |

| Well, I definitely didn't expect Nibutani to have a different personality. I hope she gets development on it. Didn't really like the change of attitude, much to my surprise. No more seizure OP. I liked having to keep moving my eyes left and right, but it's for the sake of people who can't handle things like that, so it's fine with me. After seeing the battle at the end, it made me wonder how a battle with Dark Flame Master would look like. |
| Great 4th ep, never would have known she hathe same syndrome :3 Looks like she's staying in the club aswell ^^ |
| About nibutani i think it's more interesting this way, i mean they can't be all full time chuunibyou like rikka and sanae, and come on guys i think calling her a bitch is a lil bit to harsh, well i don't know about you but i've seen alot more bitchier characters than that. |
| tuturu~!! (≧◡≦) |
| The premise got quite clear in this episode. Sanae VS Shrink and Rikka VS Yuuta. In terms of one party used to having syndromes of their disease while the other team has it and does not want to give up upon it. It’s further that this episode proves of the background of Shrink and of emphasizing Sanae rather well apart from Rikka being quite well endowed of her parts during this episode. Without further adding my thoughts follow. About Sanae Dekomori, as you should know Sanae is quite well protected by me in terms of fandom. Yuuta in regards to that got 2 punches from me in my head. First of all in the spoiler About the club intro and Sanae’s reference to Slayer’s Dragon Slave, indeed Sanae along with Rikka in the spoiler While during the super spell chanting in the spoiler Sanae was very MOE with her blush towards Rikka in the spoiler About Sanae’s rage, quite nice in the spoiler About Sanae and Rikka’s outing. I liked the most of it due to their clothing in the spoiler  Sanae was instant MOE *dies* *comes back to life* situation. The Zettai Ryouiki along with the colours and that skirt with those shoes. Let’s not forget the nice fake crown but still nice accessory. Rikka too had the nice dark colours but I care more of Sanae. About Sanae’s trolling of Shinka , quite interesting in the spoiler  Of Sanae reeks of I am going to kill you! Reminds me of a Mafioso who did a similar face too. Still can’t deny the head pain in the spoiler About Sanae VS Shinka , I liked the start of it in the spoiler It follows shortly that things got pretty wild in the spoiler It pays out in the spoiler About Shinka ’s problem, just from the following spoiler About Shinka in Yuuta’s room, I liked her positive side in the spoiler This became rather apparent in the spoiler About Shinka ’s past, upon being shown in the spoiler About thee end, well I have to say that Shinka in the spoiler Rikka, the only thing I did remarkable of her in this episode is the spoiler About Yuuta, one thing to mention is his car model in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Giulia_TZ That’s the one. Minus the custom alterations he did! Nice find if I do say so myself. So in thee end of this episode, lots of love of Sanae and Shinka time with references makes it quite fun despite anger at Yuuta for what he did to Sanae. BTW Image Stitches and pic Dump done in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/10/image-dump-and-image-stitches-of.html Lots of Sanae and Shinka. The intermissions in the spoiler The End Art in the spoiler |
| Oh man this Anime is getting even more interesting each episode. Seriously thought Nibutani was another one of those 'pure' good girls. I mean it seemed like she was interested in Yuuta. Her actual personality really makes her look like a bitch. However I like it this way, makes things are lot more entertaining. xD I love those fight scenes. Actually works really well with this kind of Anime. Those flour explosions made me laugh heaps. Rikka is hilarious. I totally want to see a Nibutani X Yuuta pairing despite finding out Nibutani's true 'self' but I doubt that'll happen. Can't wait to find out what happens next. :D |
 |
| I miss my seizure inducing OP. |
| Oh so lovely Shinka had her own chunii just like Yuuta |
 |
| Nibutani true colors. I love it. |
 |
| The chuuni is hilarious and all but the one I always look forward to every week is those gorgeous battle delusion scenes. |
| Another brilliant episode. Really enjoying this series. |
| THAT 180 FILP! went from hot and cute to curl and a total Bitch......... ill allow it, Also on that day a young boy dream were crush, a moment of silence for the fallen dream. |
