The whole series is about that how life is in general with chuunibyou (sorry in advance I will probably invent atleast 10 spellings for it in this text) In the first season i think they even get Rikka to let go of it and try to live a life without her powers, whcih seems to make her feel worse. But in my opinion it'd have been only a temporary state of her acclimating to it, and not that it's somethign that couldn't have been let go of.
But then the story becomes about them accepting it as something permanent and unchangeing. Now this might just come from my past being that I always had to fight all my troubles on my own and finding ways to over come them, becuase of a lack of friends or a good relationship with my parents in my childhood but in my opinion it'd have made a better story, or just a continuation of this about how Rikka gets over Chuunibyou. As in the long run I see that as contributing to her having a much happier life.
But on the contrary because of my childhood issues I do indeed believe that a certain magic to life or just another way of seeing things as more intresting/complicated/mysterious is a source of happiness. Sort of as a blissfull ignorance of life's issues, and there really is a magic of imagination, and to think that there is more to everything then it seem.
Which is sort of destroyed if you think in the way I do. Of trying to understand everything. It really makes you a more sorrow person. Also contributes to not liking anything. What I mean by that is I know an intermidiate level of a long list of things anything from electrical engineering thru biology/anatomy and sociology/psychology to history.
But yet I find nothing that really intrests me or at which i'd be really good at, and if you are lost reading this and wondering how this connects to Chuunibyou. It connects as that it gives back magic of the unknown, and makes you concentrate to it, not just ping-ponging from thing to thing, and with that it gives some sort of order and direction to be headed. Maybe I'm alone in thinking this but so be it. But even considering all this I think it's still better to face reality as it is at some point.
Now for the few problems that I had with the series: But first I gotta say I've seen quite a bit of anime with looming plot holes by the end of them that never get resolved, but here there might've been one or two but I don't remember any so I have to say I really apprichiate it. But now back to those few problems.
I really felt like some characters were just there as fillers forexample: Kumin, she appears a lot, and talks quite a bit, but they leave it at that. All here character was thruout the whole series is just: haha this girl be sleeping. And yea they tried the story element that she's trying to get into chuunibyou but that never went anywhere more then just a gimicky returning "joke" of sorts. (joke is probably not the best word but it's 3:25) also i found it quite cheap how they just avoided any sort of family mechanic other then a few calls and Touka's overall few appereances, with just saying: oh yea both their parents are gone now for like 3? years, and they won't have a single care other then rikka's mom saying it thru Touka that she cares (if I can't count sorry yet again it's really late) Also ofc Isshiki as just the "rare annoyance" that's all the things I could think abotu with the story with my sleep deprived brain onto a short opinion on everything other then the story
I felt like the arts style was really inconsisstent and I know this series was released over a lot of years, but still sometimes from shot to shot the background goes from an almost photorealistic scenery to mf watercolor painting that looks like it was made in 10 minutes on a scrap piece of paper. (maybe a bit too harsh because it wasn't that detracting but still)
sound: still grinding the songs in osu. that should explain my pain enough. They are good songs. Other then the songs I didn1t hear any issues with it
Enjoyment: yes. crying over anything even slightly emotional was fun.
