| I like Chuunibyouu better but this one is not bad But I still don't anything about Ryouko like for example why does she do all this thing ? Family issue ? |
 |
| Cheap rip off of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! This castle made from chairs and tables, and "please teach me how to be normal" at the end? Lame... only bullying parts were interesting. |

| "I may be liberal arts to the core, but I am capable of thinking logically." |
| I don't really care about it being a rip off, i got problems with Aura looking cheap, both in animation and story. |
| But it's not a rip off. The original novel came 3 years before the Chuunibyou one. |
| Funny how the comments started off as loving it then when someone dislikes it others jump on the bandwagon! I personally thought it was very well done. And like the comment above Aura came out before Chuunibyou. Have to say though Dark Flame Master would have Light Fang for breakfast! ^_^ 8/10 |
| Well, I couldn't help but making point by point comparison to Chuuni whenever I watched this. There were many similarities plot-wise but the execution was different. This is definitely a much more serious take and I felt it was closer to reality and somehow better than Chuuni in that sense. That mystery factor kept me all the way through. Loved the words used to express the social message and how to adapt to reality. If anything, I wanted to know more about the characters, and the sudden "coming out of the closet" of the other Chuuni's made the pacing go off and of course the almighty desk scene stack up at the finale. I was worried that she might have not actually "tried" to change, but the post-credit scene put my worries to rest. 8/10 for me. |

| Tch, Rikka will be always the best ! Actually, the movie is not bad, but this is the same scenario and the same setting as Chuunibyou. I waited a big thing on the whole show but it never happened. I think the movie can be better, now it is like a copy and paste of Chuu2 with other characters. |
| lol tbh i enjoyed watching this and it gave off a nice fluffy feeling in the end but holy shit just HOW THE FUCK DID SHE MANAGE TO BUILD THAT HUGE TEMPLE USING THOSE DESKS???????? |
| I love how the original (setting aside that you will *always* find something that came before, except maybe if you look at some cave paintings..and then there is still oral tradition..someone must have had a story to tell before painting that after all) is a copy. In this case a copy of something that doesn't even exist yet even? Just like WoW invented MMOs, right? Anyways, i loved it. There are some things that could have been done better maybe, like, that "temple". It did look awesome though. I also wonder why the teachers did nothing. The one teacher ordered Satou to become her friend, he blackmailed him into doing so actually, but besides that..nothing. Okay, the one who hit Satou was suspended, but only because he was caught in the act. I'm sure they would have suspended both Satou if they would have seen them hitting that guy. And none of the students did. Kobato tried at first, but after being rebuked by that girl bully, she never tried anything again. Not even telling the teachers - or the teachers ignored it, like they ignored the signs. And the dream soldiers where always like "you are our leader", but didn't even go and get that paint thiner (which is actually one thing Kobato did, but she still never tried to actually stop the bullying again). I also am still waiting for the day where someone deals with that blackmail the bullies did the offensive way. Kobato did understand and actually cheer on him, and she hung around him and Satou (the girl) all the time, why would she suddenly break off all contact simply because Satou (boy) had a difficult past (of course he couldn't be sure, but still..). Go talk to her, explain what happend, explain what the bullies are trying to do and let the bullies blunder on when they go to Kobato to tell her about Satou. Of course, it isn't easy to deal with this this way, but it never is, and defintively would make an interesting story, instead of the usual dragging it out until it can no longer be hid. Also, his sister is badass. Going all out right away "Give me their names and adresses", aswell as defending him against their parents, even calling them out on it - "you're his damn parents". |

| 5/10 I found the movie to be very average and a lot of the chuuni stuff franework didn't really click with me. The entire conflict should not play out like this as 50% of the class were chuuni as well... Anyway, I was expecting more from the author of Jinrui. But then again, this was written before Jinrui afaik. |

| Amazing movie .. I liked this better than chuunibyou cuz of the darker approach. |
 |
| Cute ending and quite lovely movie! Really liked the concept of this actually and loved the resolve in the end! They should make more animes with this theme as it sure is once hell of a nice concept they can play with! Either way this sure was a hell of a great movie! |
 |
| That was pretty dark. Loved it though, that ending was perfect. Im surprised that girl who did all bullying seemed to receive no repercussions. 9/10 |

| i liked the movie its great actually i didn't expect that it will be like that . |
To desire some results, one must take actions  |
| Good movie, but does anyone understood the word "verisimilian"? Can you explain to me please? |
| This movie is great, holy cow |
| I was half-asleep during the movie, the story was boring, the soundtrack didn't fit at all, the character were crap, and the ending : wtf with those chair ? The main female pissed me off, I wanted to hit her on the face. I liked the mc and his sister tough, they were cool. Expected more, since my friend told me that the ending was great. 4/10 |
 |
| First thought it reminds me of Chuunibyou (that ending with the chairs hit the jackpot).. but actually it's very different in many aspects. Those who call it a rip off or the like.. mind you the adaption was later but the novel for Aura is 3 years before. That said.. I enjoyed Chuunibyou for the comedy and cute characters. But in Aura the plot is what I'd call a worthwhile piece of work.. how they showcase the story is really captivating. Their seiyu especially caught my interest the way they express the characters.. Kobato just kept me thinking so cuteee. If I had to choose.. this is actually better in my opinion. 8/10 |
| Holy shit that was fucking awful -- and I don't usually say shit like that about anything. |

| So I finally got around to watch this movie, and I'm glad I did. Definitely like it better than Chuunibyou demo just because of the seriousness. But god, what was with the execution and plot holes... |
 |
| Just finished it and yeah, it did look a lot like Chuunibyou. It was decent enough and involved a little bit of Slice of Life. Needs a little more improvement with the story progressing though. |
| It was a fine movie in it's own without needing to be compared to Chuunibyou. Also, don't forget to watch during and after the credits, it's worth sticking around for. Blaster-- said: Good movie, but does anyone understood the word "verisimilian"? Can you explain to me please? Blaster-- said: Good movie, but does anyone understood the word "verisimilian"? Can you explain to me please? vērisimilis m, f (neuter vērisimile); third declension Adjective org. latin meaning: apparently true So as I see it a verisimilian would be someone who can look beyond the evident to see the truth of the matter, the reality behind the reality. Too bad in this instance their reality is illusion, but it's still fun to watch. :p |
| lame, predictable, annoying and wtf at the random ass table castle 5/10 |
 |
| Great movie , it's better than i expected. |
 |
| didn't expect this movie to be this good, it has quite a simple plot, but then they somehow managed to make it really interesting...this is like Chuunibyou but more on the serious and darker side... and is bullying really that bad in Japan? |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| The drama in this movie was so... misguided. It was set up perfectly to have potential to be really serious, with implications of suicide and domestic child abuse. But instead they completely breezed past that (seriously, was I the only one who was WTFing at the fact that his parents beat him, and then it was just never mentioned again or resolved except for the very end when you hear his sister screaming at her parents?) and made it incredibly melodramatic, focusing on unrealistic bullying that made little sense. Like, what the fuck was the deal with the bullies? Why were they so irrationally angry? And then the issues with the bullies wasn't even resolved! It was just kind of swept under the rug at the end and ignored. His abusive family is still fucked up at the end, so that was really unpleasant. I really liked his older sister though, all 30 seconds of screen time she had. It just really rubbed me off the wrong way how this guy was abused by his parents for acting a certain way, and then when he represses that behavior, the film paints it as a fault of his and some sort of flaw that he has (oh look at him be a jerk!), because it made whatsherface sad. Like.. just what the hell... And then that desk castle. Uh... was that real? Was that.. his imagination? I don't even... However I liked the very last scene. "Teach me how to be normal". That line alone is what's keeping this a 5/10 for me instead of a 4/10. That's where Chuunibyou went wrong, because those characters didn't develop, they regressed. The soundtrack on its own was nice, but actually being played with the scenes.. it just made it that much more melodramatic. I didn't like it. All in all, I have to say I'm disappointed. I found it unintentionally funny at its climax, which is especially bad because it was a scene revolving around a suicide attempt. But it was just that.. wtf inducing. I found myself giggling and face palming at the same time. The movie wasn't completely devoid of entertainment though. Like I said, 5/10. |

| Kind of bland and obvious. Kana Hanazawa did a pretty good performance as Ryouko with some subtle variations on the character's affected monotone to express emotion. Red_Keys said: ...was I the only one who was WTFing at the fact that his parents beat him, and then it was just never mentioned again or resolved except for the very end when you hear his sister screaming at her parents? When Ichirou says his parents hit him, I think it just means they slapped him once in the face, which doesn't seem to be a big deal in Japanese culture judging from the usual depiction in anime and manga. I think the point is that what he wrote in the letter made them that angry. The shot of his mother crying and his father pulling him up by the collar adds further emphasis. I think the part at the end where his sister is arguing is her defending his decision to be involved with Ryouko (which might cause him to "relapse"). Red_Keys said: ...unrealistic bullying that made little sense. Like, what the fuck was the deal with the bullies? Why were they so irrationally angry? And then the issues with the bullies wasn't even resolved! It was just kind of swept under the rug at the end and ignored. I think teenagers are just assholes sometimes, and they were the popular kids with "the rules" on their side, so they felt like they could do what they wanted. The head girl's stunned reaction when Ichirou stood up to them says as much. Red_Keys said: It just really rubbed me off the wrong way how this guy was abused by his parents for acting a certain way, and then when he represses that behavior, the film paints it as a fault of his and some sort of flaw that he has (oh look at him be a jerk!), because it made whatsherface sad. I think what's being painted in a bad light is the way he lets himself get pushed around and abandons a friend (because he and Ryouko had become friends). That scene where he criticizes the way Ryouko acts is probably the best scene in the movie. The fact that Ichirou hates whats she's doing moves it beyond a "weird kids vs. bullies" kind of story. Red_Keys said: And then that desk castle. Uh... was that real? Was that.. his imagination? I don't even... I think it was supposed to be a dramatic manifestation of Ryouko's behavior, one too large and imposing to be ignored by anyone; and indeed it was planned as a prelude to suicide. Given that the rest of the film is pretty naturalistic, I think it comes off as more strange than anything. |
| I really enjoyed this anime, even though I dropped Chuunibyou after 3 episodes. Maybe because this is more serious Ryouko looks so cute in her school dress 7/10 |
thepathApr 5, 2014 11:18 AM
| Teacher blackmailing him to be friends with Ryouko. 20 mins in and already a kiss,something Chuunibyou couldn't manage to do in 2 seasons.They actually kissed twice too<3 Wow,Yamamoto beating up Ichirou was hard to see. Like how initiative Ryouko compared to Rikka. That one popular bitch was so fucking annoying. Gotta admit that temple of desk looked awesome.Though the likelihood that she had constructed that and no one noticed well... Lol'd at the teacher joking about having chuunibyou at the end. Ryouko looked cute in the uniform and "Teach me how to be normal." perfect ending. Definitely exceeded my expectations 9/10. |
| 5/5 Pretty good movie, more mature than some souls seen in recent times. Too bad there are no animations in the final if not at the end. It was the epilogue is supposed to be made better. Same thing in the story that could be made better, starting with both main and secondary characters. Technical and graphic good, not excellent, good animations. Finally, a decent job of that AIC ASTA. I'm a little sad, because so little was enough to make this film become an excellent product! ^ _ ^ Final score of 8/10! I wanted to give more to the maturity put in the plot, but other factors have made this impossible. |
 |
| welp that was pretty godly movie! |
 |
| A great movie, I wanted someone to slap that bitch who acts all cool. Ending it with a kiss is always nice. LOL at the class in the credits. OST was great. |
 |
| what a shitty movie. very VERY idiotic character dialogues, spoken by uninteresting clichee characters in an unintersting clichee setting. Artstyle was medioucre at best any memorable soundtracks are not existent. 1/10 |
| This was quite a "sweatdrop" movie for me. You gotta have some guts to keep up an act like that in school surrounded by bullies. And wtf that desk temple scene... I was hoping theyd keep it up with being realistic. An enjoyable movie though. |
| desktemple/10 +1 for the oppai. |
| To hell with Chuunibyou and their Moe bullshit!!! This movie was much better. |

| Man, I watched this movie expecting something fun and happy stuff but I get this drama movie instead, was not expecting that but did enjoy it. The genre tags make it so misleading. I'm just gonna downright say this. I was surprised they showed nudity. Oh and that first kiss, dat saliva. The last kiss was cute though. Anyways, this at the very least felt more realistic that Chu2, aside from the table castle, with all the bullying but so many unanswered questions, mostly about Ryouko. Bullying is serious business and often does suicide pop up as an option. I will say a lot of scenes were very cringe worthy though and just makes you question why Ryouko is even doing that, like climbing the street light. I do love how they showed her wearing her school uniform though, it looks so much better than her chuuni outfit and I was really hoping she did early. |
| one of the best animated films I've ever watched, the plot is simply fantastic, great soundtrack, and great development, only the character desing leaves a little to be desired, but nothing that hinders the work address the Chuunibyou as a disease, shows bullying as something real, show up to the suffering of the family of those who suffer and deal with serious issues of a wide credibility to the film, I sure will recommend this animation, and still will I seek into other media such as LN and the manga. |
  |
| That was awesome, I accidentaly saw it recommended while commenting on a Chuunibyo. And I mean seriously - does there even exist a single human being who never thought about being a hero or living in a different world? Sure they go way overboard with it but hell if I haven't thought about acting like that in the middle of the street. Only I would probably get arrested or placed in an asylum T_T Why do you think people reenact historical battles dressed in armor as knights? Because they just want to have fun and swing their swords in the air! It does show a different perspective and how being different is shunned by most of the society. I believe it would have a way stronger feel to it if it ended in a tragedy. That being said - I'm glad it didn't. I allways thought sad endings carry a stronger "punch" but I allways prefered happy ones just for my personal enjoyment factor. It got me in a mood for nostalgia though so I already know what I'm gonna be doing this evening. Anyway 9/10 PS. How did she manage to build this ridiculous castle anyway? I want that. I seriously do. |

| Damn that was good. It achieved more in 1.5 hour than Chuunibyou did in 2 seasons lol.. I went into this expecting something like Chuunibyou and was prepared to be disappointed but I'm glad it's not even close. 8/10 |
