I hope they kiss... a hot cute kiss....

Rikka and Yuuta already done that... several times.

Episode 12: Eternal Engagement (Kanji are for "never ending contract")

Site: Kumin has inherited the Wicked Eye from Rikka. Yuuta hears why the Wicked Eye was born from this second user of its power. It changes his opinion on the matter. Little by little, he begins to become aware of his own feelings. Really, there wasn't any reason why Rikka had to be cured of chuunibyou, was there? Rikka's pure heart. Rikka's pain from taking responsibility. Rikka's clear feelings. In order to save all of those, Yuuta runs as fast as he can after her.

TV/Newtype: Yuuta is uneasy over Rikka's disappearance. While he is worrying, he is told why the Wicked Eye was born from the second user of its power. Knowing the truth behind her power, Yuuta heads out into the town to search for Rikka. The story of the Dark Flame Master and the user of the Wicked Eye is concluded here.

Script: Junki Hanada Director/Storyboards: Taichi Ishidate Animation Director: Chiyoko Ueno

The Togashi balcony. On the day prior to the entrance ceremony, Yuuta had a predestined meeting here.

Ooh. Love that

I don't want be that guy and say I called it... but I called it! :D

I hope the episode lives to Ishihara's comments.

o.O
 

From what I've seen in the advancement, Rikka chunii never be again. If that happens, the second season will not see.

in the light novel. she is chunii ... kyo will that wants to end this series appears to not more?


pardon my English ^ ^ I'm using google translator oO

Well, I'm certainly surprised. I would've gone with the obvious guess of Dekomori.

I very much hoped (and had the feeling) that Kumin would be crucial to the ending of this in SOME way. Glad to know now that she indeed is. And the slow piano version of Sparkling Daydream sounds gorgeous, as expected. Can NOT wait to see this episode.

Full speculations in my head from reading that site synopsis.

I don't want to post it here. I don't want to be right in a "lucky" way and spread the idea further.

...I actually thought it was wednesday today...

I can't wait to hear the full version of it. That was beautiful.

Yahoo! If there could be a 2nd season. :D

Still waiting for subs. I get so much anticipation that i cant sleep.:heh:

I would like to comment that this is Ishidate's second finale directing job of the year (and he also storyboarded this episode). After Hyouka's absolutely wonderful finale, he nailed another spectacular episode in Chuunibyou. I'm wondering when he's going to get the Supervisor position for his own show after the work he's done the past two years.

Him and Kawanami are all I'm rooting for to be a full director. Kawanami proved to be a very good episode director and handled well both the light hearted comedic episodes during the early parts of the show and the heavy episode which was last week's.

It's a shame though that Ishidate never got the chance to do more episodes.

Well it pretty much unfolded in a predictable way. So at the end as I expected since last episode it is all about accepting the chuunibyou part and then finding the balance. I guess the real surprising thing is that literally everything began and ended with Yuuta.

Also Dekomori with her hair down and talking normally is a real elegant bishoujo, and that she's rich. Dekomori shares so much with her seiyuu Uesaka Sumire I'm left wondering if they actually based the character on Sumipe to begin with.

Good to see we had a balanced episode with enough exposure of what happened, Rikka's mindset and Yuuta going all out to get her back.

The only "complain" I would have is: as far as Rikka knowing Yuuta was foreshadowed before (such as the "I finally met you!" in the first episode), it was also weirdly hinted she only realized later on (Episode 8: Rika made an expression that she "realized" who Yuuta was with a DFM flashback), so unless I took that flashback in a very way, it was a bit contradicting.
That being said, I'm quite pleased her chuunibyou actually had another core reason for its existence as I expected, which explains Rikka's ambivalent behaviour despite she didn't have any grudge against her mother whatsoever.

Whereas they could obviously expand a bit more of what would happen to Rikka regarding her family, the conclusion settle down her own conflict quite well, and it managed to made me fuzzy inside a wee bit, so I guess that worked (at least on me :heh:)

Anyway, I really liked how everyone had some role in the finale, and I must say that I really didn't expect Kumin and Sanae to show up in this "fashion": for a giant "my pace" char, Kumin sure has the knack in mimicking Rikka's evil eye chuunibyou, whereas Sanae being an -actual- rich ojousama took me offguard :heh:
