Grow up already and watch some other show that will help you grow up. There are tons of better shows out there. [size=/1]God! I love this anime! Fuku-Jun at his best when he revealed the protocol code. That smile from Rikka in the end made me so happy. And I love Kumin-senpai. She is the happiest napping girl in the history of civilization. And Dekomori gives me the best moments in the anime. Loved it when Rikka dropped the broomstick on Yuuta's head. She might have noticed Yuuta seeing Nibutani as a woman. And Yuuta's family is full of amazing members. :D 6/5 for this episode. |

| Incredibly enjoyable episode. Nice to see the romance starting to develop between the two leads. Pretty crazy how Rikka topped the class average considering how bad she was at math, guess hard work paid off in this case; in reality, that's not likely to happen though. Lastly, Yuuta's still got it, Dark Flame Master continues to live on! XD |
 |
| lmao whats the answer? four. THREE :roflmao: then they go clap lulz omg this club is so retarded. senpai so cute when she nappin <3 his mom is so great too. lets go peeking. yumeha so cute :D was sad hearing her being forever alone. hugzzz HNGG that ending |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Fav character of anime is and prolly will always be the ladle holding big sis. Babe and mysterious with actions. Proven awesome with house game played with little sister. Other than that, I dunno the draw of this anime for me cuz i'm constantly talking to my screen saying wHY ARE YOU DOING THAT MAN!!!! |
 |
| Dark Flame Master! Rikka's ringtone is very alarming. 0_0 It's nice to see the club working together and the relationship between Rikka and Yuuta. Good episode overall. |

| This episode was just AMAZING. Best episode so far. The second half of this episode 11/10. |
| Man this episode just made my day. Although it reminded me of the maths exam I have soon... Just... that smile from Rikka at the end =] |
| The best 23 minutes of my life |
| This was a fantastic episode; easily the best so far, and a clear improvement over the last, as it very skilfully balanced the comedy with several emotional moments and some excellently intriguing romantic foreshadowing. Though indistinct and brief, these moments of foreshadowing indicate a gradual transition towards an increased focus on the romantic aspect of the story, which is quite satisfying. Also, there was a slightly nuanced emotional complexity added to the story, and, thankfully, it was handled really well. The pacing, compared to the last episode, improved considerably as well, since the story was able to confidently weave through nearly every single character, never faltering in it’s execution or losing focus of the central theme of the episode. I loved that the focus of the narrative returned to the exploration of Rikka and Yuuta’s interesting and enjoyable dynamic. The ending was my favorite scene by far, since Rikka’s subtle feelings for Yuuta appear, with that one moment, to have blossomed into love. I really like that Yuuta consciously, and without reluctance, offered Rikka a temporary glimpse of his “Dark Flame Master” persona, since it indicates a growing acceptance of his youthful delusions when he’s solely interacting with Rikka. If not for the ending, my favorite scene would be the one in which Rikka and Yuuta decide to exchange e-mails. There was a slight melancholy that permeated the entire sequence, as a disconsolate Rikka sadly notes that, until now, she didn't have any friends, which was conveyed beautifully by her one line, in which she said, "in this dimension, they are the only ones who acknowledge my presence". This was a suitably powerful moment, since it essentially provided a heightened level of insight and characterization for Rikka that had been vague and indistinct until she decided to openly acknowledge her hidden emotions in front of Yuuta. Rikka suddenly dropping the broomstick on Yuuta’s head while he was talking with Shinka at the pool was highly amusing, as it seems to suggest a subtle jealousy borne from the romantic feelings she has for Yuuta. The small revelation that Sanae's the smartest in her class was actually quite surprising. Sanae's intermittent quarrels with Shinka are great, as their interactions are becoming one of the most enjoyable elements of the show. The comedy worked really well throughout, such as Kumin calling Shinka deceptively plump and the entirety of the club’s visit to the shrine. Also, Touka's highly realistic game of house with Yumeha was hilarious. The majority of the characters remain immensely engaging. Rikka, particularly after this episode, is gradually developing into my favorite character. The development of Rikka and Yuuta's relationship is excellent in it's slow, but noticeable evolution. The ending, of course, seems to depict a love-struck Rikka, yet Yuuta still lingers on the precipice of a seemingly indiscernible attraction and connection towards her, potentially unwilling to realize his feelings. Despite this, he still extensively cares for her, illustrated by his diligence in helping her learn the math she so frequently withdrew from understanding, as well as his unconcerned endeavor to wash the dishes for her. Despite their contrasting personalities, they have considerable chemistry, most evident during their numerous playful interactions, which continue to be the best element of the show. I definitely prefer Shinka's role as Sanae's adversary and her altered personality. I also like how prevalent Kumin was throughout the episode, since her brief interludes are hilarious. Yuuta's family, particularly his mother, are extremely entertaining. As for Rikka’s family, I’m hoping that the question of why her sister is the only one around will be explored as the story progresses, since, so far, it appears that Rikka has adopted her chuunibyou tendencies as a fantastical façade to her pain; a pain that could very well be largely due to the issues with her parents. The production values really are outstanding, particularly the direction, which was especially great during both scenes that involved the exchanging of Rikka and Yuuta’s e-mails, as it captured the many disparate emotions surrounding these moments brilliantly. The lighting was also rather effective in these two sequences, as the contrast in tone is visually displayed by the darkness in the somber kitchen scene and the comparative brightness of the conclusion. The scene where Rikka searches for a solution during her test was very well-animated, and, as usual, I felt that the animation shone most with the plethora of dynamic facial reactions and exaggerated movements, such as Sanae’s gestures towards Shinka in nearly every scene between them and the moment Yuuta temporarily indulges his Dark Flame Master form. The background art was a highlight of this episode, as it was incredibly detailed, especially Rikka's room. As for the music, the mournful piano selection that was used throughout the kitchen sequence illuminated the atmosphere of that particular moment wonderfully. All in all, Chuunibyou is excelling in many areas, and it’s quickly becoming one of the very best shows of the season, as it portrays the bittersweet and fleeting nature of adolescence quite well. I’m really looking forward to the progression of the story, since, thankfully, following the under whelming previous episode, the narrative has shifted focus back to Rikka and Yuuta’s developing relationship, which is thoroughly interesting and compelling. It seems likely that the latter half of the story will include, along with more romance, an increase of occasional drama, so hopefully KyoAni will consistently be able to handle these elements as well as they did in this episode. |

| One way or another Dark Flame Master is totally gonna have a fight scene sometime soon and it's gonna be awesome lol |
 |
| Oh, the crack they smoke must be the bomb. |
 |
| AWESOME EPISODE Loved how kumin had some very cute scenes, too. And ofc, this one was Rikka centered, and rightfully so - she was adorable. Pool scene and shrine scene were funny. And the scene at the end (nice .gif btw) was more than heartwarming, it was a full scale MOE BUSTER! EDIT: BUT!!!!! Nibutani hitting kumin..... YURUSENAI! (she evaded the second chop with a sleeping barrel roll though... good job =) ) |
| 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 |
| Hmmm Nibutani's not such a abusive bitch after all... Unlike the special. Kumin continue to be cute and awesome... Sanae's actually smart... and... Yumeha and Touka playing divorce LMFAO! WOW! FINALLY! Chuunibyou is going somewhere! This is the best episode by far! |

| Nibutani is still my favorite character, but with this episode, Rikka is catching up fast. |
deenman23 said: Cloudy-Sky said: I just hope it won't end into a pure harem show. Probably it's gonna be Nibutani vs Rikka but oh well... Let's wait and see!! not a harem anime its a romcom,nibutani will try to keep them apart,not because she has feelings for him but for other reasons I stlll hope Shinka has feelings for him. |
Magito said: I stlll hope Shinka has feelings for him. I hope not. I can't stand her "bitch in sheep's clothing" style, and I cannot forgive her for hitting kumin. Does she kick puppies and kittens in her free time, too? *rage* |

| LOL what an epic episode, for some reason Rikka is extremely cute in this ep xD, damn I like her more and more. But I'm still waiting for Kumin's screen time. Looks like Rikka is always at home alone(and she's the introverted type, only has dekomori and her sister's phone number), her sister works late every night, well after Yuuta found out, it would effect on their relationship to some degree. And some blushing moments in this ep too ... So I predict chuubi will turn into a romance comedy later rather than slapstick comedy now and then. I felt like watching less than a 10 minute episode ... surely time passes fast when you enjoy something ... Glad that it doesn't focus only on comedy and it takes Sakurasou's route which is romance comedy with soft drama. |

| This show is really hitting its stride and well worth upgrading my initial rating. The only complaint I have is that the character design seems just a bit too middle-school moe to me--I'd prefer it if they looked just a little more mature as high schoolers. On the other hand, it could easily be house style for this studio. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Loved that Super Smash Bros. reference! xD Sanae is actually a maths genius while Rikka is the exact opposite, getting 2/100 on a test lmao! Kumin is so cute when she starts to get sleepy. Nibutani acting like an ass is pretty annoying and funny at the same time. I also hope she has feelings for Yuuta. Tsundere, perhaps? Rikka's ringtone is hilarious. Rikka was so cute when she was asking Yuuta 'what should I do?' Touka is pretty damn hawt lol. Also, Yuuta's little sister was up at 1:30/2:30AM? O_o Yuuta taking on the 'Dark Flame Master' persona was too awesome. 'Black Raison d'être' ftw! - and that's the singing group name of the female VAs doing the ED. :D |
 |
| 'Black Reason for Existence.' - That's pretty epic email address. |
| This episode is just very charming!!! Black Raison D'etre (forgot the spelling) is a cool name. Ahahaha. Rikka is just so moe. Love the part where she makes sounds out of pain. She got.lucky on the test! |

| Another fantastic episode. Only thing missing was a epic battle scene xD A lot of funny things happened in this ep. Like Shinka hitting Kumin and Kumin taking revenge by calling her chubby (I don't think she was asleep)^-^ Rikka showed a lot of cute sides and some of her background story in this ep. I still root for her in stead of for Shinka. Btw Nana ( the teacher ) is pretty awesome too, wish I had a mentor like her ^-^ |
 |
| I hate match. |
gaidenraiden said: It's sad that a person like Rikka is lonely. :( With Yuuta and the other with her, it won't be lonely as before. I can see Rikka getting livelier and livelier every episode especially with Yuuta. |

| A Good Episode But I Thought It Was A Bit Boring. Maybe It's Just Me Because, Today, I Was Not In The Mood To Watch Anything. I Watched This Episode Almost 11 Hrs Later Than Usual. |
 |
| Awesome, simply awesome! |
| Brilliant episode. So many good characterization quirks that really make this show. Evendown to 'fake Mori Summer' and the way the group interacts with her! Yeah, comedy genius! |
