Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy

When Mizuki Hijiri transferred to a new school, all she wanted was to live a normal school life, but that did not prove to be the case when she met the infamous Hero Club. All of its members are boys suffering from various types of chuunibyou—Yamato Noda is a righteous hero, using his athletic abilities to perform noble deeds and protect others; Kazuhiro Nakamura claims to be the reincarnation of "Touga Ryushouin," the result of the forbidden union between a demon and an angel; Tomoki Takashima is a pretty-boy otaku whose one true love is the 2D anime girl Sora; and Rei Tsukumo plays the role of a schemer, covertly pulling the strings.

Dragged along as the newest member of the Hero Club, tepid Hijiri can't obtain the normalcy that she desires. But even so, despite their various quirks, their bonds of friendship are real; Hijiri's life can only get more exciting when she joins in on their delusions of grandeur!

This is one of my all time favorite anime. Besides the fact that it is based on a vocaloid song the energy and pure joy from this series is incredible. I'm not really one for comedy anime but this was so good, it made me genuinely laugh quite a lot. The story is well paced for the most part, sometimes things go a bit fast but nothing too major. I believe that there is potential for a second season but I doubt they will make one. Hopefully the OVA will be good. This anime is definitely not for everyone but those who love fun characters ... and chuunibyou I say give it a shot!

Mixed Feelings

As a huge fan of Volcaloid, you could say that watching Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy was pretty much mandatory for me.

However, did it live up to my expectations? Of course not. It's an overall OK run of the mill slice of life/comedy show. It features a cast of characters in the "hero Club," reminiscent of the Sket Dance club. Is it better than Sket Dance? Yes, but that's also just my opinion. Sket Dance and Chuubyou have a pretty similar concept and plot, but honestly, Chuubyou executes a bit better than Sket Dance did. Not to say that this show was great, but Sket Dance was ... just kind of bad in my opinion. Compared to Sket Dance, Chuubyou kind of has better character development and characters in general, I guess.

However, I digress. Onto the review. The show has a total of three or so pretty well defined story arcs. One is the introduction to the characters, the next is just general club activity, and the last is the "conclusion" of the show. If I'm being honest, the introduction to the characters was not bad. Despite having some cringy archetypal characters introduced, it's honestly presented in a manner which makes it watchable. A few episodes in and I realized that if they keep on going this route, this show will just be filled with reused jokes about the archetypal character traits of each person. However, contrary to my beliefs, the story takes kind of a drastic turn in terms of story arcs. It focuses a lot more on the actual club activity, rather than having the character's chuunibyou personalities running the show. This was definitely the move. I felt like the show was a lot more fresh as a result. Club activites were pretty alright, which is basically my entire review of the series: alright. Everything is super normal, kind of even bland, you could say. Even the conclusion arc felt really basic. This anime really just uses your average bread and butter club activity anime formula to the greatest extent. And not to say that the formula is bad, or the execution was bad. It just was OK. Just your standard sort of crisis to the club, and the resolution.

I watched to the end. You could say that I definitely did not need to watch this. And you really shouldn't either, unless you have a lot of free time. There's absolutely nothing very redeemable or unique about this show. There are super archetypal characters with chuunibyou done a lot better than I thought, but it's still just average. The transition into general club activity is great, and makes the show watchable, but just watchable. The conclusion is just a conclusion. Probably the weakest of the three arcs, but it's still OK. Makes sense at least.

Preliminary (6/11 eps)

It looks cute from the cover, and the concept seemed similar to host Club so I thought why not give it a shot But in actuality it seems quite soulless. All of the characters are very vague and trope-ish, and none of them are memorable. The show revolves around jokes which are usually funny only 1/3rd of the time. The setting was pretty meh, and the animation was extremely basic. Eh what should one expect from an anime based on some song I've never heard before. The characters were normal at best, and annoying at worst. I found myself incredibly bored, and getting through an ... episode seemed like a chore. Would not watch this.
