One thing's for
sure, out of the 4 new series I've seen so far, this has got to be my favorite.
The OP scene, the comedy, the main character, the beautiful art and animation,
and this episode itself as whole was very entertaining.
Prior to watching
this show, I have no idea what the heck 'chuunibyou' is. Is that Well it was clearly explained in the OP scene
and I'd say that it's just kids trying to be someone out of the fantasy world
(in this case, that is. Click on the link for
further reading). Actually it reminded me of Kobato from Haganai and Touwa Erio from Denpa. LOL.
After getting that knowledge, I just knew that this series will be fun.
This OP episode had
clearly shown where this series will revolve - the relationship between
Takanashi Rikka (Uchida
Maaya) and Togashi Yuuta (Fukuyama Jun). One
still living the in her delusion of having a Wicked
Eye and the other used to call himself Dark
Flame Master and live in his own fancy little world with his Dark Flame
Dragon (LOL) orr whatever he called it.
Funny how Yuuta
wanted to live a 'normal' life in high school and forget all about his fancy
character as Dark Flame Master; and
suddenly Rikka has taken a liking on him (not in a romantic way. yet.) because
she heard him talking about himself being a Dark
Flame Master. She probably just wanted to have someone to play with.
HAHA. That's what Yuuta gets for screaming his past life without knowing if
someone can really hear him or not.
I guess KyoAni is
really a company that lives up to its name. The art and animation is really
outstanding. Although I personally think that Hyouka
is still better with regards to this department :3 Music is very good and makes
me wish for a copy of the soundtrack when it comes out. This is practically the
first time that I fell in love with the BGMs with a somehow lively feel to it
since my type of BGM/soundtrack is usually the piano pieces or those slow
calming sounds.
With how this OP
episode went, I believe that Chunnibyou Demo Koi
ga Shitai! will be a pretty interesting series this season. I'm pretty
sure that there'll be a harem build up for Yuuta, his secret self might get
revealed in school, and romantic relationship between him and Rikka (???).
Anyway, this series is definitely a must to watch! :D
