----------------------------------------
They are back !! And a new school year has started !! And co-habitation is now the rule (conveniently the family has moved overseas LOL) ! Rikka without any chu2byo outfit is even cuter IMO, but I think Molly Summer in dyed hair is funnier. Trying to be a graceful lady? But can she beat Dekomori in terms of acting high-class? LOL And Isshiki as cool-haired guitarist? No way LOL We even have a big Chu2byo-fantasy battle, but who will be the winner? (we should know who...LOL) Oh, I thought we are supposed to have a new character this time? (hint hint new neighbor)

The new OP is great. It has the same upbeat mood and rhythm as the old OP and the characters are given good highlight.

The new ED is a bit weaker than the one last time though I love the animation. And I am sure the video will change once we see more characters? Right? Right?

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So glad the show is back..

Dat OP song.
Going to take me awhile to get used to Shinka's new hair style. Seems like this was in Chinese subs. Anyways yeah, it's back in full and I'm ready to see what else the show is to offer. So many fun moments. Dikamori is also as usual.

Btw, how the hell did this episode get on the net when it doesn't air in the next 24 hours...

Because China officially airs this show one day before Japan does. Just like Witchcraft Work, the fact that you did not see the new episode does not mean that the episode has not been aired or made available somewhere on the net. It is entirely possible that some people just happen to know more than you do on certain things and check it before you did.

Oh I saw the episode on another site just now after seeing the OP song on Yt. I figured it would of been out sometime today. I was just wondering when it was aired. And it was in Chinese subs so I guess it was in China.

Well, the new episode has been on net since last night because it was aired last night in China (I am talking about China time of course). So the video has been around for at least half a day already.

Well they weren't supposed to do that. The first airing was supposed to be at 24:30 in Japan. It was a mihap on their behalf, which I heard was supposed to be 2 hours after the initial airing in Japan. If TBS or any other sponsors get pissed I suspect their livestream of Chuu2Ren be suspended for a couple of episodes or something.

lol @ mahoujin hula hoop in OP! The chuunibyou girl is living with him with reason, not because they are in relations. lol @ his friend. Death girl is 1st year rep.?! Mori Summer wanting to completely seal "Mori Summer" era and dyed her hair black. Finding new place for her not as easy. That battle scene... His oldest younger sister approves of chuunibyou girl. What was written on the paper that fell from his notebook? And new girl is coming?

Both OP and ED were not as good as first season, but still nice.

So far so good, can't wait to see Sichimiya!

Well I am not sure why you were so sure about that. From what I checked in Japanese sites, there was no information that the first airing "everywhere globally" is supposed to be 24:30 today (Japan time). Of course it could be indeed what you said, that China side got it wrong (perhaps by simply taking Wed 26:30 as Wed 2:30), but so far I have not seen a definitive source saying that this was indeed the case.

And even if we see China broadcast the episode later than Japan next week it is still hard to say whether it is because China got the airing date/time wrong this week because it is also possible that because of the leak this time, Japan asks China to postpone the airing even though China got the airing date/time correct this time.

Man, I really missed this series.

Yuuta and Rika being cute as hell together like usual. Not a fan of Nibutani's new look. That skirt looks so weird.
That battle scene against Touka was great. Animation was nice. Love how everyone got involved. RIP Kumin lol

OP is alright, but that ED is cute. This show is still as lovable as it was the first season. Can't wait for more!

Glad this show is back :D Fun as usual ^^

Missed Rikka's cuteness when she's not acting chuuni <3

OP and ED are pretty nice. Esp animation wise.

The start with Yuuta waking Rikka up was cute...so was the breakfast :3

Shinka's new look is pretty nice although I prefer her previous one and I'm pretty sure it won't be permanent anyway ^^...Dekomori with her hair down is really pretty and how Shinka slingshotted the paper on her forehead during the talk was funny. These 2 should just admit how much they love each other already XDXD

Isshiki's hair was so lol XD And poor him with no one recognizing him hahaha

Sleeping Kumin is cute as usual :D Poor her when she got hit by the laddle XD

The fight with Touka was epic. Loved the DFM parts esp "Ma Shingan" XD
And Dekomori trying to ask her forgiveness and put the blame on Shinka lol

Touka's black mailing with Yuuta's magazines was really funny XD

Well seems like Satone will be introduced nxt ep? Let's see.

Looks like KyoAni increased the budget for the sequel of one of their best selling shows in recent times. I gotta say I really fancy the animation sequence simulating a rotating camera they used several times in this episode. Seamlessly implemented CG parts I presume with great results.

I marathoned the first season in 2013 and I really enjoyed it, so I'm glad there's a 2nd season to watch now.

Nice first episode. Yuta and Rikka are still great together. And I think the way everyone is trying to change is funny. But what exactly is Nibutani trying to pull off exactly?

Can't wait for next week.

Good start to the series. I absolutely loved season 1, except for the ending which I complained was a sequel grab(funnily enough I got quite a lot of hate for that suggestion, look where we are now).

This seems like an excelent return to form to me, and literally all I want from this season is for it to be like the last series but with a better ending. I think Chuunibyou has one of the best casts in a Kyoto animation show and I really love all of the characters. The show is hilarious when it wants to be and although I watched the first stream I found that looked pretty terrible, from what I could tell the animation looked about as good as any work by Kyoto-Animation.
Plus Chuunibyou Lite is back, which makes me happy because they had some of the funniest parts of the first season.

If I had to make a complaint. And I am going to. In the fight against Tooka why did Nibutani try to attack her? Doesn't it seem kind of out of character for a someone desperately trying to forget her Chuunibyou to suddenly just start pretending to fight with magic? It kind of confused me because her doing that stands against pretty much her entire character.
But I'm still not sure I believe two highschool students in a relationship living alone in a house toghether aren't going to get up to anything :p
Ignoring that however - Good start. I hope the show keeps going on strong and ends up just as brilliant as season one did.

pretty meh episode tbh but hey at least the girls are cute (especially kumin). the comedy isn't anywhere near as good it kinda seems like they just wanted to cram all the same old jokes from the first season into one episode like "hey look remember when this happened before?!" i hopd it can live up to the first season even though i think they have they're work cut out for them.
