Review: Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai

I was hesitant to watch it before for one ultimate reason: harem. Not too long ago, I got tired, nope the right term is irritated with this kind of genre. In my opinion, harem does not cover the most important part of the story, it shows the least uninteresting ones. Well, hope you get what I mean. I’ll be direct to my point ‘coz I’m still about to watch Hell Girl after I’m done with this.

Never judge an anime by its first episode, is the foremost thought in my mind while I'm watching this show. As an Anime lover, I had decided to treat every Anime equally. I want to give equal opportunities for new Anime to be acknowledged by my desires, while at the same time, treasuring those I had finished. But this Anime definitely did not require myself to further dig into the next episode just to love it. The first episode is already enough…enough to show once again another beautiful world.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai is about a boy named Yuta, who is a previous patient of the chuunibyou syndrome. This syndrome targets people at the age of puberty, causing them to have delusions.

I love the concept of the story overall. Fantasy as it appears at first, but it is more than that. I can say that this anime successfully managed to join two of the most mysterious concept: fantasy and reality. Sounds easy to do so, but difficult to be formulated.

Scenes, even typical sometimes won’t stop you from watching. There is this friendly, realistic atmosphere in spite of the existence of magic. Friendship develops the usual way. It is already there just before you know it. Love development is fulfilling in my part, because I really like love stories which develop not those kind which appear all of a sudden.

It reminds me of my childhood, and my old and current delusions that I thought were useless. This is one of those epic anime that can leave you lessons behind. Watch this if you haven’t yet especially when you are the type who thinks that you are weird for imagining weird things. I’m telling you, it will show you something that will change your everything.

The lessons I've learned from Chuunibyou are:

“Never be ashamed of imagining. Imagining that you are flying, imagining that you are a princess/prince, imagining that your love is being returned, imagining you possessed the most powerful magic, or imagining that these dreams are true. Because no matter what people say or no matter how much reality contradicts, you are just simply being YOU. You are not hurting anybody or causing mischiefs to someone else anyway, but instead, you are just making your own HAPPINESS out of YOURSELF.”
