The moment you say a word of parting youve already parted. So long as you and I are both somewhere in this world we havent parted. So long as you dont say it you havent parted. Satone Shichimiya After reflecting on the events of this season for a bit I can definitely say that this one was my favorite of the two. This might be because unpopular opinion maybe my best girl Shichimiya was introduced but thats for you to decide. This season definitely turned up the heat when it came to the romance department and we were now faced with the development of Rikka and Yutas relationship. I really did enjoy how they went about the various scenarios and challenges that the couple faced but most of them were pretty commonly used in other romance/dramas Ive seen. It was all still enjoyable thought because of the way that it was presented its was made to still be enjoyable for all of us. Even some of the filler episodes on the side were used for the character development of the supporting characters There were also a lot more action scenes which were both funny and entertaining to watch. Without further ado heres my review of Love Chunibyo and other Delusions Throb. Art and Animation: 8.7/10 It goes without saying that the art style of this anime is definitely one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the added vibrancy to colors and extra detail to the surrounding background environment. The only thing it lacked in was consistency. I had noticed a good number of parts when either the lip syncing wasnt too great or even when limb movements were very choppy. This was most noticeable during action scenes when there was a lot to focus on. Nothing too major but it still wasnt consistent as last season. Storyline and Character Progression: 8.9/10 I really enjoyed where they took the storyline in this season. It was packed with a lot more emotion and drama that held your attention once the ball got rolling. Both the interactions and development were executed in a way that preserved the overall tone and mood of the storyline while drama was happening. The only downside to this was the WAY they got into these situations. The some of the situations were pretty generic and predictable as Ive seen with countless other romance/dramas. But the other few times had really connected with the characters circumstances. These few moments were truly unique in themselves and is the reason why the storyline didnt feel stale or overused. One of the only few mistakes I could say about this was the utter waste of a character Isshiki was in this season. He didnt fit into the story at all and truly felt like a forgettable side character that appeared at the most random moments. Soundtrack and Audio: 8.6/10 I personally enjoyed the OP for this season a lot more than the first one. Both the audio and animations for it were beautiful and definitely represented the anime very accurately. Even the few new characters who were introduced had great voice actors that Im sure youll enjoy. No one can beat that amazing laugh of Shichimiyas All the original voice actors were kept the same and were as good as always. This too can be applied to the sound effects used as well. The only thing that kept the score from being higher was the lack of raw emotion or impact the soundtrack had. While it was definitely great from a technical point of view it didnt connect nearly as well emotionally for a romance/slice of life. And thats all While I did personally enjoy this season more it did have its odd moments and mistakes. This is why it gets its score of 8.7 in the end. Still Id highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a romance thats on the lighter side of things. With its great comedy elements and decent romance plot youll be entertained throughout the entire anime. No episode feels like a waste of time because each and every one of them is an adventure into the mysterious world of Chuunibyou Streaming Platform: Crunchyroll
