Dafuq.

Priceless episode.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Speaking of the op just noticed how her eye patch makes a heart <3

Wonder if and when some romance will kick in between Dark Flame Master and "Wicked Eye"
Absolutely loving it as it though

Yes, it was disappointing to see her character change. She's acted like a typical two-faced Japanese woman. I hate those types. However, It does make her character more dynamic and interesting. It'll be more interesting to see her as she really is and not some super energy flirty girl.

I think now that Shinka's true self is exposed, Rikka won't have AS much competition for Yuuta's attention. Shinka is only interested in cleaning up her past. She pretty much used him to get at the book.

The episode overall was hilarious. I love how they did the reality illusion thing again where they actually do the amateur effects to the delusions that they show. So damn Comical.

Aw, in one episode she went from this cute girl to showing her inner kuudere(?) -- well she's nice on the outside and badass on the inside, so reverse kyuudere? lol.

Well still not bad. But damn, this show is just way too fun. I can't stand continuously waiting for the next episode! T_T

At least she didn't black mail yuuta to help her. i would have done that...


Agreed she is a bitch, IF she did try to blackmail him he could counter because she was just as weird as him lol. Damn they are a crazy club. I don't really like nibutani's attitude she seems to be a jerk to all of them and acts way diffrent in school hopefully she changes.

Funny when she found his porn. I like mOst of the characters except maybe Nibutani.

What do you call a character who is nice/cute on the outside but somewhat manipulative/nasty?
Reminds me a little of the Irisu reveal in Hyouka.
There is. It's called a Yandere. A girl who's nice and warm to you only to reveal herself as a crazy/violent character later on. The exact opposite of a Tsundere. There's also a Kuudere, which is someone who's almost always cold, blunt and cynical. She isn't normally violent like a tsudere and only shows here dere or nice/warm side very rarely.
ImaVampire said:

I don't think that she's a bitch - yet. I just think that she's really embarrassed by her past and is doing everything she can to erase it from this world. I believe Yutta was like that to Rikka when she found out about DarkFlameMaster and is still like that to Rikka and that other girl when ever they bring it up in front of others.

Overall I loved this episode. The magi circle was hilarious and I freaking died of laughter during Mori Summer/Mjolnir something's battle. You also have to love how Shinka can just tear up Yutta's room with no care in the world. LOL at Rikka invading Yutta's room and getting turned on by his porn.

Yeah, you're right. She's not a yandere but a yangire right now. I do think that she'll later become either a yandere or a tsundere later on as she eventually falls for Yutta.

Looks like my prediction was right, I'm glad Nibutani didn't join the club because she fell in love with Yuuta on first sight, that'd have been dumb not to mention unrealistic. Her reason for joining the club actually makes sense in this case, since she'd need to erase all her traces as an ex-chuunibyou. Her presence in the club also has implications on a love-triangle eventually breaking out. Despite her sudden change in character this episode I didn't find her to be a bitch, most people would've reacted similarly in her situation.

She is like Ami in toradora, who posses 2 different characteristic, pretend to be a nice person outside but the inside is 180degree opposite. I believe she does not belong to either yandere or tsundere, kuudere group ... because she hasn't fallen for Yuuta yet.

Another person I can think of, who shares the same characteristic with her, is Ayatsuji(class rep in Amagami, but she is an inner tsundere type).

I don't think Nibutani is a bitch, and the poster above is correct in comparing her to Yuuta's own actions. Besides, even before the whole club thing she did show some interest in him. Hell, why was she waiting there after school anyway? She hadn't even known about Sanae possessing it until that point. I think she was just really stressed out and prioritized cleaning up after her past over everything else.

Well my view on Nibutani just took a 180 turn like her personality. After I saw she wanted that book, with that quick "wait wtf" moment she had in this episode, I knew a boy's dream aint coming true. Don't know how anyone could like this girl after she played with an innocent boy's heart just for that selfish reason. She doesn't even sympathize with our protagonist who if I was him would've said, "well your life suck, call it Just Deserts."
Anyways, good episode, sad that the girl I favored most ended up in last place atm, hopefully we see a turnaround, its not anything that will stop me from watching this anime though.

I feel indifferent towards Nibutani, but that personality change did surprise me. I'm glad she showed her true personality though, cause I wasn't to fond of the one she had, not that her actual personality is any more appealing.

Also, I wanted more Rikka, so hopefully next episode there is more of her : )
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Anyway, great episode. Nibutani's personality change startled me quite a bit, but I knew she had some ulterior motive for joining the group. Didn't think it would be THAT though.
And what if all love is an act of bravery?

LOVED THIS EPISODE XDDD

NibutanixYuuta ALL. THE. WAY. I can only see Rikka being in a sister-like relationship with Yuuta :/ That is, unless Rikka's eighth-grade syndrome gets cured (or stops for whatever reason) before the end of the season, at which point Yuuta realizes how much he liked her weirdness. But then we find out that Rikka was never a chuunibyou, she's just naturally weird.

dun. Dun. DUUUUUUNNNNNN.

Don't know why so many people are starting to hate Nibutani just because she has a more interesting personality.

Personally, I find the always nice nice kind of female characters incredibly boring and annoying, so seeing Nibutani have a complete switch of personality was a very nice surprise and should make the character dynamics all the more interesting.

However, Rikka is still number one.

This episode was quite good and highly enjoyable, but it was also probably my least favorite, due largely to how inconsistent it was. The first half was mediocre, while the latter half was excellent, since Nibutani disposed of her "perfect" facade, which allowed for a much more interesting story to take place. Despite this, I recognize the episode as a necessary bridge between Yuuta's superficial attraction of Nibutani and the gradual establishing of his romantic interest in Rikka. Although the story didn't particularly interest me throughout the first half, I felt the episode, as a whole, was paced really well.

Though it was certainly expected, I didn't particularly like that Yuuta chose to join the club solely due to the shallow attraction he has towards Shinka, but this is a rather insignificant complaint. The largest criticism I have is that, due to Shinka being far too prevalent throughout, Rikka, as in the previous episode, seemed to be forced into the role of a secondary character, which doesn't exactly benefit the story, since her interactions with Yuuta are easily the best element of the show. Thankfully, the latter half of the episode strongly allayed my temporary fears that this would turn into the Yuuta-Shinka show, so hopefully the story returns to focusing on the far more engaging and enjoyable dynamic of the relationship between Yuuta and Rikka.

Rikka stumbling upon and consequently becoming embarrassed by Yuuta's dirty magazine was easily my favorite scene in the episode. The humor, for the most part, worked quite well, especially Sanae and Rikka's fantastic interactions. Sanae's enthusiastic admiration towards Rikka is quite amusing. Kumin's also pretty likable, but, unfortunately, she hasn't been given much to do.

Despite it's predictability, I really like that Nibutani was revealed as Mori Summer, due mostly to what that means for Yuuta, since his interactions with "normal" Shinka essentially diminished his character into a one-note repetition. Her separate personality, though intriguing in it's surprising contrast, is pretty unlikable. At least the chuunibyou aspect of Shinka's true self actually gives her dynamic characterization and an interesting personality, since she definitely didn't possess one before. Now that her true motivations have been revealed, it's great that she doesn't appear to have any sort of romantic interest in Yuuta. Hopefully, now that he's been "rejected", he can finally move past his temporary crush on worst girl, which would consequently allow Rikka and Yuuta's relationship to properly develop.

The production values remain consistently impressive, as illuminated by the entertaining end to the episode, in which Shinka and Sanae fight for the book she had written. This brief action sequence was, once again, really well-animated and excellently choreographed. The dynamic facial reactions are depicted particularly well. The altered OP is actually pretty good, since it's no longer "seizure-inducing".

All in all, Chuunibyou, despite it's occasional, but temporary narrative flaws, continues to exceed expectations with it's execution and a thoroughly likable cast of characters. It will be interesting to see which direction the story will take, since the club has been fully assembled. I love that, so far, Rikka appears to be the only one that's romantically interested in Yuuta, and I hope it remains that way. As such, I'm expecting far more focus on Rikka and her gradually developing relationship with Yuuta as the story progresses.
