Looks like the Nibutani x Deko yuri undertones rivalry continues. It was cool how they all went chuuni mode and attacked together. The new girl seems powerful going by the OP.

Personally i wasn't looking forward for this after the ending of the first season which immediately made it clear a second season would air i think i even mentioned something like not wanting to watch it at all.
And a feel like a hypocrite for watching this episode.

Even to after the poor ending of the first season which made it clear that a second ending would air you could simply tell by the way it ended.
It was obvious because Rikka didn't get cured and it's wasn't a proper ending the other obvious thing is that a second season would not work with Rikka and Dekomori cured.
Since chuunibyou (Second year syndrome) is after all the concept of the anime.
And despite the ending i did like the first season and i am looking forward to a proper ending this time, which hopefully we will get.

Now about this episode it was nicely made the one thing that bothered me a bit was Nibutani looking like the stereotype ojou-sama and putting on a new act but i guess she will get over it during the course of the anime.
What i found funny was Rikka and Yuuta living together with all the misunderstandings it caused not to mention that Touka trusted Yuuta's little sister more then Yuuta and Rikka themselves.
The last thing was the ending when Yuuta referred to the new neighbour the scene itself but some emphasis on it suggesting something might happen with the new neighbour.
Guess we have to wait till next week to find out tho.

Dat ED.

Shinka's still the Shinka of old in the OP, ED, and chuunibyou scenes. Perhaps there is a bit of light that she will return. I guess that will be my excuse as to keep watching. I'm not too interested in anything else, anyways.

By the looks of what happened this episode, perhaps there will be a true ED to the cohabitation? Perhaps marriage? I didn't expect them to actually pair up last season, so maybe this will be one of the few KyoAni that finish relationships...

Nah.

Finally! It's back!

Vanishment! This world!

I love how all of them ganged up on Tooka, ending up to be all of them defeated in the end. Hahaha. It would have been awesome if we saw Nibutani in her fairy chuunibyo.

Can't wait to see the new character.

Wow, I felt like I either missed a lot or don't remember much from the first season. Wha, they are in their 2nd year? Wha, they are leaving together? So much new things at once. Nice episode though I hope the next one will be a bit funnier.

Nibutani looks AWFUL as a fake ojou-sama, and I thought during the first season, that her design was the best in the series. I hope she will change soon, I mean in the op and ed she looks normal. Now she even looks kinda fat lolz.

Slow begining, didn't like the op&ed nearly half as much as I loved the ones from the first season :( Will have to get used to it. Hoped to see new girl, too bad we have to wait a bit longer for her.

Well, I'm fine with everything as long as I have enough Dekomori DESU <33

Glad to see I've got another great series to look forward too this season. Still as good as I remember season 1 to be. Yuuta was living the highschool boy's dream, shacking up with his gf. No wonder he had so many magazines to keep his lust in check. Was damn hilarious to see Toka (priestess) pulling them out.

Nibutani's make over had me shocked, like others already said, that skirt was horrible. Nor is she pulling of the beautiful long black hair look. The brown hair suits her a lot better. Kind of lmao how she created yet again another character for herself. Oh and her attack on Dekomori was priceless.

YES! OMG! So good. Hazero real, Hajikero synapse, Vanishment THIS WORLD! How I missed Chuu2. Good comedy, good romance, good characters, top class production and an ok story. This episode reminds me why I liked the first season a lot. First ep didnt disappoint!

FINALLY KYOANI! After the failure of Tamako Market, Free! and Kyoukai no Kanata - we will finally have a KyoAni worth of material again.

Lol at Shinka's makeover. More than that hair redo, I'm not used to see Mori Summer in that super long skirt rofl. But seriously, it will take time to get use to her new appearance. I still wants her old appearance but I'm fine either way and we get to see her old self when activating chuunibyou mode anyways. I'm really glad the relationships of the characters didn't just restart from the beginning like any other sequels. Dat Shinka firing a paper using the rubber band in the Dekomori good student mode tho. Isshiki still haven't progress with Kumim lol. That fight with Touka was kinda weird, didn't think Mori Summer and Dark Flame Master will fight too. Heck even Kumin fought even though she wasn't really a chuunibyou character. Well I guess it was mandatory to show all of them in action since it was the first episode of the second season. Need more Rikka x Yuuta romance. Nice ending song. Not as good as Inside Identity though :D

Good episode. So Rikka and Yuta are living together now. I wonder what photo did Rikka picked up. And seeing everyone again was great. :)
I think Nibutani will go back to her old design because the opening shows her old design and the fight scene had her old design too.

Op,ED were okay too didn't think it was as catchy unfortunately

Wuhay, the show is back!!! :D
I've been waiting a long time for this show, and this first episode was great. Loved the OP/ED, hulahooping the magical circle thing seems catchy, and each character dancing in the ED in totally chuunibyou style ;D
As for the episode itself, the comedy was fun. Loved how I feel connected to the characters just as I was during the first season. Though I dunno, I thought they could've had some kinda narration like they did with the beginning and ending of season 1?? Eh, thats a minor gripe... Though a major gripe would be THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TOOKA!!!!!!! >___<
Jokes aside, can't wait to meet Satone next week (wonder what kinda dynamic she'll bring to the show :P)

At the moment, this is my AotS

That first episode was just soooo much fun~

I wonder how long till Shinka faces the reality that she really can't pull off the "Good girl" act xD Sanae easily outperforms her

I know the chuuni fight with touka was all fanservice, but it was such great eyecandy, and a great way to start the season~

I actually really liked the Op/Ed personally. I'm not sure if I like them better or not, I'll have to listen to them more.

Can't wait for next week~!

Same studio, same characters personality (though temporarily character appearance), same delusions, and same Yuta abusing Rikka. Oh how I missed this show :D.

Senae's "Desss" are coming back to me now XD. Rikka and Yuta now living together huh... Toka comes back but just temporarily. That fight scene was amusing in a sort of way. Those "Bonk" sound effects just make me laugh.

Yup everything is back, except with character changing appearance (especially Nibutani). Well I hope that won't last long. Op song, it looks the same like the first one. Ending song, was decent though I like the ed in the first better.

I rly liked chuunibyou, but this first ep of the s2 was rly weak. i am rly disappointed. i didnt feel the same like i did while s1. it was just a weak school anime ep and nothing more. but too much fanservice (hips everywere), everything a little bit over the top, useless talk, MC with hundrets of girls in one room and other unneccesary stuff were i said to myself "why this now?". everything seemed so rushed and at the wrong place, only to give every character enough time to sai something (useless), pose and do other typical things we already saw in s1. why??? some parts were nice like the introduction of the student rep speech or other typical kyoani things like camera angels and such things and some beautiful drawn sets. but that was it. i hope they find the plot in the next episode and dont do useless stuff. kyoukai no kanata was way more interesting and well made in the first episode and the charas were more interesting. worst kyoani episode since ... i cant remember ... O_o years. other shows this 2014 q1 are way better like Space Dandy or aiuta or the ongoing stuff like nagi no asukara. oh,and opening song is average and the scenes are boring, but animation is great. Space Dandy and aiuta and yowamushi pedal waaaay better. ending similar, but the the style at the beginning was nice and the charas movements were yummi. the song was a little bit better and does fit more, but still average. i expected so much more. i dont rate shows after 1/4 ore 4 or 5 eps, but for the moment i would give chuunibyou s2 a 4/10. sad ... =/ i hope the show will do better the next few eps, i rly hope so.

btw i like Dekomori, but that death desu stuff was rly annoying. over the top, too much.

cant understand, why everyone said this was awesome. O_o only "its chuunibyou" isnt enough, honestly. its not enough in my eyes to randomly throw in the known charas and thats it. thats not it ...

Damn Nibutani, I want your old self back; Her new character design isn't that just much appealing :/

I'm guessing "SHE" (Not saying the name to avoid spoilers) moved into Rikka's apartment huh.... Interesting development...

Overall, a 4/5 from me. Hope it gets better next ep.... =D

Unlike most, I've only finished Chuunibyou season 1 yesterday, haha. So I guess this episode would be "less epic" for me simply because I did not have to wait very long.

Nonetheless; great sequel! This series is looking very promising, and I love the new OP and ED.

However, I really hope Chuunibyou does not go down the harem route; that scene with Yuuta's sister walking in on all of them worries me... that one scene had 6 girls 1 guy.

Why would you think it could go the harem route? There's nothing pointing towards it AT ALL.
