I don't know how to start my journey at Nulledbb, so I'm going to write a review about one of my favorite animes: "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!"

Chunnibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ok alright, I know this may shock you but, this is literally a 10/10 series for me. Nah I'm dead serious, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions is one of the first anime series I've watched and easily become one of the best slice-of-life anime out there, in front of countless trash anime tv series being made just for money. Chunnibyou doesn't focus on the plot, Itโ€™s more about comedy and the events that surrounds the main characters. They live their high school days like normal teens although the majority are anything but normal=)
STORY: 9
As mentioned above, the film's plot is not heavily weighted but that's not bad, Kyoto animation does a good job of combining two common elements of a classic slice-of-life (comedic) - dramatic ) creates a nostalgic journey to discover the youth with the characteristics of each character. I know if you have watched this anime, you'll find yourself laughing, cringing and tearing up multiple times throughout. It's really a gentle roller coaster full of emotions, neither sweet nor cringe that I don't want to continue watching, even though it's only wrapped up in 12 episodes, but the movie has done too well for this plot part.
ART: 10
Definitely a 10, It's Kyoto animation in the 2010's era ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿ˜ซ. Kyoto animation in the past has released a lot of anime series with beautiful art and good plot, recognizable too. I don't know if anyone was fooled when watching the trailer for this series ๐Ÿ™‚ I thought this was a Shoujo series because the fighting scenes are so beautiful in a slice-of-life anime like this, the nostalgic angles, the scenery, and the character's nuances are very gentle too, exactly what the movie wants to convey.
SOUND: 8
Classic, nothing to describe much, It's done the job well. Agh I love the opening so much.
CHARACTER: 9
Moe girls do moe things, It's pretty much what I can say, even Nibutani, the "anti-moe" has her own appeal. Spoiler alert: the characters are built quite well towards the end of the movie, climax here can't help but mention the mc Rikka and Dekomori , when Dekomori really expressed Rikka's feelings as well as hers that, why due to not only that they suffer from Chunni, but a part of them also want to live a life like that, to forget reality, to forget the pain they have brought, it pushes Rikka's character arc up, also contributes part that increases viewers' empathy, really (ใƒŽ_<ใ€‚). That aside, every character's motivations are believable. Their interactions are dynamic and the source of both silly comedy and powerful drama. I can also see that Yuuta is really a good person.
ENJOYMENT: 10
Yub yub yub why not ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜ผ. Like every other Kyoto's anime (except Hyouka idk whyย  Sippy Sip ) It's an amazing piece of art. Not only is it familiar and sweet, but also gripping, touching, and anxious at the same time. Again, it's like a journey into the past, exciting and glorified and fantastic, distorted by time, but one that feels real though. It's nostalgia.
OVERALL: 10
In general, the characters all have a certain depth, the emotions of the characters other than being "Chunni" are very real, highly recommend it to everyone, especially to those who have a soft spot for romcoms. But still, regardless of your taste in anime, itโ€™s only 12 episodes long, so it wonโ€™t really take much time, so why not give it a try? After all you might come to like it.


-what do you think about this anime? let me know Thumbs Up
