| Damn... this anime is quite perfect, and Rikka is getting serious now perhaps? I can't wait to see how this ends. |
 |
| I know I already made a response but this episode was awesome. I love the development between Rikkia and Yuuta. But I had no idea that Rikkia could sing. |
 |
| Meh. Last week was so much better. It wasn't bad but wasn't that great either. Something's missing this week to make this ep as great as last week despite the confession we all longed for.. Maybe Yuuta's confession was just too lame - he didn't really confess - or fighting with Rikka directly after that resulting in that boring cliff hanger. I don't know.. :| But Nibutani was way more enjoyable the last couple of episodes. |

Pheneks said: That was probably one of my favorite episodes. It was tense as hell, and Rikka's and Yuuta's confession was one of the best I've ever seen. If it didn't deserve a 10/10 up until now, it certainly does after this episode. I'm really tempted to raise the score from 9 to 10 but I guess I'll wait until the end. But damn... this is clearly my top5 show. Thank god a good show close to toradora appeared, I'm satisfied with chuuni I must say. |
|
| HOLY SHIT!!! FINALLY, THE CONFESSION!!! x] so awesome that they're finally with each other but dammit... the ending. doesnt have a good feel to it..... :( |

| MARVELOUS. CONFESSION AND SINGING?!?!?! Yep, things are finally wrapping up. Rikka will have to eventually become "normal." Too bad :( |

| Great episode. :O This anime is consistently good. |
| This anime is so good.....I can't..... |
  |
| DAT CONFESSION. I love this show so much. I hate myself for almost not watching it. Ah, I wonder what will happen to poor Rikka! :( |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| This episode is probably one of the most funniest episodes in all of Chuunibyou history!!! Problem is... I can't find the part when she took off her lens!!! HAFGsoAHJFAGBJKSDBmadJABF! |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| So will Rikka finally get rid of her eight grade syndrome? Im sad... |
| My name is Signature.. |
| WOW THAT EPISODE UsaraDark said: This episode is probably one of the most funniest episodes in all of Chuunibyou history!!! Problem is... I can't find the part when she took off her lens!!! HAFGsoAHJFAGBJKSDBmadJABF! last few seconds of the episode that typically has the cute still frame after the ED |
| Well, looks like the original thread disappeared...(?) o_o Info on the first insert song please. >_< |
 |
| Episode was great. The confession gave me goose bumps. ^^ |
 |
| Almost didn't stay till the end of the credits. Great episode. |
 |
| It seems like we're gonna see a normal Rikka next week :) |
| So many "Oh Snap!", moments in the episode I love it. Chuunibyou never cease to amaze me. |
 |
| Simply put, what a roller-coaster ride of emotions! The confession made my heart explode with happiness! Also, that singing! Rikka removed her eyepatch! What could it mean? Is this the end of her chuunibyou phase? Now, I'm confident to say that this series is my favorite for this season! |

 KyoAni - doing fanservice right since 1981. Absolutely love their costume design. Despite how great last episode was, I did have some qualms with this episode. More later when I've gotten over how awesome she looks in that dress. |

| Excellent :) |
| That was so awesome!! I personally love how Yuuta confessed, and I was happy she confessed first. It was such a great episode. Also the way Yuuta slapped Isshiki away when he leaned against his shoulders was hilarious. I'm gonna miss the old Rikka if she really becomes normal now. She's so awesome the way she is. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| I didn't expect this series to go this route to be honest. Kinda glad it did though. I wasn't expecting anything serious to happen. |
 |
 |
| With this episode, Chu2 officially becomes my top(and best) show of this season, above Tonari, and of course, Sakurasou. The transition between romance, drama and comedy was just ... perfect. I couldn't find any word better than that. The confession scene under the bridge was well delivered, both in character's feelings(the shyness of both girl and boy, when first falling in love) and, the supreme quality of the artworks. Not to mention the atmosphere was greatly fit, with catchy background music + insert song. Furthermore, I really like how Rikka lean her head on Yuuta's back as she was shy, and a pinky finger. She has her own personality, the way she acts is cute, not just her appearance. This is how different between Kyo and other "moe" productions, their characters have souls as well, not just simply moe appearances that make them look cute. Kyo Ani never fails me, as one of the best contender for romance/drama genre. This episode is truly enjoyable. |

| Damn, this was an incredible episode, displaying a distinct absence of any particularly noticeable flaw, even elevating above the fifth and ninth episodes into becoming the absolute best of the show. The noticeable dichotomy between many disparate emotions present throughout the episode illustrated an excellently balanced approach to storytelling, rather than slipping into a particularly disconcerting tonal dissonance. As such, it was a quieter, less boistorous episode, rarely needing words to express their necessary meaning, instead relying on the immensely skilled direction and superb animation to evoke the depth behind certain emotions that suffused the developments within. My favorite sequence, by far, was Rikka and Yuuta's fantastic confessions. There was a beautiful tranquility that accentuated the emotions within this considerably meaningful development, conveying a restrained sentimentality that was sweetly poignant. The pinky-holding designation of their new "contract" was a great way to conclude the scene, since it perfectly encapsulates both of their personalities. Of course, so did the entire confession, drawing upon numerous elements within their characterization, such as the tendency for Yuuta to willingly slip into his "Dark Flame Master" persona whenever in Rikka's presence, as well as nicely touching on Rikka's inability to directly express her emotions by having her lean her head against Yuuta's back, rather than his chest, as that would lead to further embarrassment. This scene was very well-directed, deftly handling the abundance of romantically simplistic intonations, elevating a mere confession into something much more, superbly conveying the full weight within a plethora of subtle emotions. The opening sequence was excellent, as Yuuta reflects upon his hug with Rikka, eventually culminating with a longing utterance of her name, only to be amusingly interrupted by Makoto, effectively establishing the romantically whimsical atmosphere that pervaded through the majority of the episode. The subdued colors complemented Yuuta’s introspective reverie really well, contrasting the sunlit scenery from his thoughts. Touka and Yuuta’s conversation was quite revealing, temporarily focusing on their dichotomous approaches to handling Rikka’s adolescent delusions, as she suggests that he should instruct Rikka to mature, finally relinquishing the facade of purposefully oblivious peace that she's, rather understandably, worn for so long. The final scene served as a very effective conclusion, as Rikka's covered eye was revealed to be, once again, ordinary, no longer containing the golden contact, which I thought was an excellent bit of ominous foreshadowing. Though a dramatic development appeared towards the end of the episode, it certainly didn't feel particularly contrived, but more of a foreshadowed inevitability, drawing upon a plethora of divergent, but eventually harmonious subtleties that have alluded to this possibility. As such, the developments were far more emotionally effective, as they didn't feel artificially forced at all. It will be interesting to see how receptive, if at all, Rikka is towards her mother's sudden appearance, and vice versa, for that matter, since her mother, despite several weak attempts to converse with her, has seemed somewhat detached from Rikka for quite some time. This episode greatly illuminated the strength of Rikka and Yuuta’s relationship, accentuating the various nuances that have filtered into their increasingly profound connection, comprehensively elaborating on the depth within their mutual feelings, which, in turn, entirely erased the possibility for a seemingly potential, but unlikely, perception, in which their emotions could appear somewhat superficial. As such, their relationship is thoroughly compelling, consistently elevated by their highly enjoyable, chemistry-laden interactions. Sanae was highly enjoyable throughout, especially notable in the brief, but integral scene in which she comforts Rikka, allaying her confused worries with some surprisingly insightful advice. I also greatly enjoyed Makoto and Yuuta’s moderately helpful conversation that followed, which excellently paralleled Sanae and Rikka’s, even including a second lean onto the other’s shoulder, with hilariously divergent results. I loved the return of Touka and Yumeha’s exaggeratedly realistic reenactments of house. These interactions have effectively portrayed an aspect of Touka’s characterization that has been much less prevalent than others. Makoto and Kumin's perpetually stalled "relationship" is developing in a very amusing fashion, and I'm hoping they realize a mutually romantic spark between them before the end. Although, I must admit, it doesn't appear to be too likely at the moment, since, though she was asleep, Kumin's immediate rejection was unintentionally brutal. It will be interesting to see how Makoto plans to eventually compel her into some sort of realization. The direction was very impressive and, along with the aforementioned confession, was also quite striking throughout the momentary bench scene between Yuuta and Rikka, as it framed their significant interactions with a considerably complementary focus on the smallest movements between them, such as their momentary glimpse of one another beneath the fallen umbrella or Rikka gently laying her head against Yuuta's back. Musically, this episode was very good and remarkably appropriate within each scene, especially realized in the use of Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo, which was an excellent piece to use during the confession. I also loved the wistful selection that accompanied the scene in which Yuuta meets Rikka’s mother. It captured the potentially fragile nature of Yuuta’s newfound romance with Rikka in a fantastic manner, evoking a subtly melancholic atmosphere that permeated Yuuta's internal struggles. The visuals were fantastic, as there was an abundance of stunning imagery, most evident in the city lights that Rikka and Yuuta fleetingly gazed towards prior to their momentous confession. The animation was amazingly consistent, especially during Yuuta’s aggressive reaction to Makoto’s awkwardly affectionate head lean and throughout the entire confession, illustrating seemingly inconsequential movements and nearly imperceptible expressions with a confident flourish. Also, the rather detailed background art was pretty solid, particularly shown throughout the portion of the episode that tangentially focused on the school festival, as it highlighted a suitably energetic atmosphere. All in all, Chuunibyou has become one of the best shows of the season and, perhaps, the year, consistently impressing with it's thoroughly beautiful relationship, immensely engaging characters, and the masterful execution of it's narrative. As such, Rikka and Yuuta's romantic development has been woven into the narrative in a thoroughly meticulous and exceptionally satisfying fashion, never lingering on a singularly contrived intricacy or unnecessary distraction from the growth of their feelings for one another. Of course, one of the most narratively beneficial elements in terms of how their relationship is portrayed is that there haven't been any tedious complications that disrupt each subsequent development in their romantic evolution, which would potentially diminish the significance of these emotionally substantial moments. As such, rather than conventionally stretching the confession until the very end of the show, there’s an essential desire to deter from the typical adherence towards an unconvincingly lengthened approach to progressing the relationship, brilliantly avoiding the expected flaws that tend to inevitably creep into romantic comedies, which would effectively depict a sort of fractured narrative, dragging unnecessarily until a marginally unsatisfying conclusion. Instead, it appears that every particular development has been carefully constructed within the confines of a comparatively brief narrative, allowing for a story that rarely, if ever, falters. |

| Why?? Why do you do this to us? You can't just leave us hanging like that... Sigh, this is why I wait to watch anime until they are all out. |
| Great episode! The confession was excellent specially with that Flame master! Sanae comforting Rikka was cute! specially when she rest in her shoulder,lol when she beat the hell out of Nibutani XD Makoto trying to do the same thing by resting his shoulder was hilarious! Beyond that a lot of progress this episode,Yuuta deside to not support Rikka chuunibyou and make her face reality,by the looks of the final scene seems she starting to move on! Well 2 more to go cant wait! GIF's and more on the club!! http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=528156&show=0#post1 |
| Wow great episode. I liked pretty much everything about this episode, from the comedy to the serious parts. |

| Ending sure annoyed me. Not the song but the fact the anime skipped the entire scene where he confronted her about stopping. |
| such a cute episode I almost teared during the confession, the music went great with it too! I am curious as to what Yuuta told Rikka exactly though. |
 |
YoshiPoshi said: Really great and cute episode! Cant wait for next episode and to see Rikka without eye-patch. Just hope her personality don't change to much. I hope the last episodes is this great to and it will be my favorite show of 2012 without competition. ♥ It's a bit clear that her behavior in the end of the series will be close to normal at least because when her problems are all solved there is no need continue chuuni acting. I just dont want a drastic personality change without a good reason. |

| She was so fragile, I felt like she'd break if I held her any tighter. This episode..., damn! I mean zomgwtfbbq! If there was any doubt in anyone's mind that this is the best anime for the season, this episode should have affirmed that with every second of the 23:54 mins that it is. Master, you f-f-fell in love with the Dark Flame Master? Rikka hugging Deko and Deko thinking along the yuri lines. Rikka realizing she is in love with Yuuta and asking Deko what she should do. That was a nice moment there illustrating how close the 2 of them are. Sometimes you wonder who is the older sister to who in that relationship lol. Isshiki resting his head on Yuuta's shoulder was EPIC! I couldnt stop laughing. DAT EcDonalds! Shouldn't you be leaning on my chest? DAT confession scene. It was so satisfying watching the 2 of them confess their feelings to one another. The pinky hug just added to the greatness! Yuuta doing his part in DFM mode. Was it irresponsible for him to play along? To me atleast, making a fool out of yourself for the one you love comes with the job. It's kind of an impossible situation Yuuta is in with Rikka. On one hand, she needs to 'grow up' but he can't get her to do that without hurting her. On the other hand, everyone seems to want Rikka to be the way they want her to be not taking into consideration, that the way Rikka is, is the only way she can deal with what happened. Rikka's Mom is a MILF! I had to get that out of my system lol. Vanish into the embrace of dark flames! DAT pinky kiss. Rikka is too embarrassed to kiss him directly, so she let her pinky do it! That was one of the best moments for me. Then comes the drama...., seems Yuuta had to make the impossible choice. What do you do when the best way to love someone is to hurt them? Take a look at the stars of the night.... Rikka's song...., her father's favorite song. THEN......, the eyepatch comes off! My guess, is that Rikka heard Yuuta's words and decided to change for him. She will try to live 'normal' from now on and try to fit in with everyone else. The predictable question to ask now is: Which one did Yuuta fall in love with? lol. All in all, the best episode to air this whole season. I was screaming and shouting while watching this. Very few anime can get me that excited. Now the wait is once again upon us for the next episode..., I cannot wait to see what happens in the next episode. Dammit, KyoAni better give me my season 2, or I will seriously HM01 people! Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 |
  |
| this ep is so cuuuute |
| now that was a GREAT episode! Sorry Ishiki, you got out done by the Tyrant's eye! |
| Didn't expect those two will confess so this was a nice surprise, i like it when characters being more straightforward about their feeling. Rikka taking off her eyepatch is interesting, i can see some big development coming next episode. Very enjoyable episode with some big development and good humor, these recent 2 eps have given me better impression of this show. |
| Nice confession with the music and lighting. When Rikka took off her eyepatch, things just went way serious, and then I saw a blonde Mio. |
| So cuttttttttttteeeeeeee~ HNGGGGGGGHHH precisely my emotion mixed when watch this episode~ can't wait for next week episode~ d^o^b |

Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 I complety agree with all your thoughs but I dont really feel like a second season won't ruin the whole show, not that I dont believe in KyoAni habilities, they made a perfect job on chuuni but I just fear it to be ruined somehow. And I hate waiting... D: |

ezwelchman said: does anyone know the song that was playing during the confession scene under the bridge??? please and thank you =D 君のとなりは(kimi no tonari wa) song & lyrics: ZAQ vocal: ZAQ perhaps... |
 |
| Wow, I never expected Chuunibyou to get this good, loving it :D |
 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. |
i swear there better be at least one kiss between those two before all this is over and not another pinky kiss but a real one dammit we desserve that much >_< otherwise i shall smash my lappy  |
| I SCREAMED AFTER I WATCH THIS EPISODE. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I WATCH ANIMES WITH A GOOD CONFESSION SCENE.... AT LAST WE GOT A NEW PAIRING.. CONGRATS YUUTA X RIKKA.. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS EPISODE... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ! :) |
