I have a complaint about 8th grade syndrome or whatever the name of the anime was.
It was good, and had a great ending for a Japanese story.
However, the gaping plothole they opened up for no reason at the end was just silly.
The guy moved to the furthest high school he could and she just happened to follow him?
How did she live above him twice?
Do they commute to school 18 hours a day or what?

you mean Chuunibyou demo Koi ga rainbowai! I finished watching it Just the other day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that my avatar is now Rikka ^.^ one of the best character design and pairing. Well worth the little bit of frustration During the middle of the series. But I get the feeling it was rushed at the end, a few questions to be answered. 9/10

I He lived in the same apartment, I don't think he moved, And I think Rikka Was always above him, but was unknown to him, which was strange. However, I believe that Rikka found out what high school he was going to, and she followed him, Because She looked up to him, I remember something about Rikka following him all along. It was only from the high school onward that he changed.
Anyone else care to clear this up?

Yeah the only real explanation is if she's a weird stalker.
In which case, there goes her charm.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Is this that Chuunbiyou one?

You should talk to CUD about that. He knows everything about it. I think.

EDIT: nvm, didn't see the next page

she used to inspiration of the dark flame master to cope with her farther's death. That's why she followed him because she relied on him to cope with the death, he was a role model. Another episode would have been good to clear this up.

The end definitely seemed rushed but it still worked.

When she first saw Yuuta and became infatuated with him she didn't yet have eighth grade syndrome and was living with her sister in the same apartment above Yuuta; after observing Yuuta for a while she was told by her sister to move in with her Grandparents. In the first episode her things were put into Yuuta's apartment by the movers then he helped carry the stuff up to her place, at this point she was moving back in with her sister I assume to start at the new high school with Yuuta; whether it was because Yuuta was attending there or it was the most convenient high school (closest to her sister's place, possibly no schools nearby her grandparent's place) isn't made clear. Her moving back in with her sister may have also been because it was nearby Yuuta but most of this is just speculation and isn't made clear in the show.

I didn't get the impression she was a 'creepy stalker chick', she admired the Dark Flame Master and just happened to live nearby is how I see it.

They shouldn't have tried to fit her into his old life to begin with.
It was great without that.

Well I suppose it could have worked that way but the reason Rikka liked Yuuta in the first place was because he was the Dark Flame Master, he was the whole reason she became the wielder of the Tyrant's Eye. Without that past she wouldn't have known he was the Dark Flame Master and therefore her infatuation with him would seem odd.

Nothing odd about a girl liking the only guy she's gotten close to in her life.

No, but his eighth grade syndrome is the whole reason she got close to him.

Yeah, which is so stalkerish and creepy

Eh, I didn't get that impression.

Anyway, here's some gifs of the Queen of Moe.

I didn't really get that impression but I see were your coming from.

I'm sure re-watching the series would clear up everything, And I'm sure I will some time, However, I don't have time for that at the moment, I'm currently watching Hyouka and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Its underrated.

Suffers from Japan's no-ending problem but it was alright.

I regret never finishing season 1 of Afro Samurai. I missed the last two episodes.

[Nollog]

So, did any of last seasons shows continue on to this season? (more than 13 episodes)
My stuff done broke and I need to re-cajooble things.
Way too lazy to google each show individually to find out.

[Elric]

I'm pretty sure Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is going to be more than 26 episodes, but I am not exactly sure with others.

I recommend Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, if you like over the top action anime that knows it's over the top.
