Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! - Anime General Discussion

[Hyper]

I don't have a problem with both op either. I do think the first one is more fun, but I don't think the second one is boring. Also, maybe they changed it just for this episode because Nibutani is a "serious" person? Unlikely, though.

I've included a few more comparisons, along with a video of one fan's tour of sites, and links to Japanese pages with many more photos.

[off-topic] Since I love The Tale of Genji so much, I have to add that Lady Murasaki is supposed to have started writing that novel in August 1004 AD when she was living at the Ishiyama-dera temple, on the river about a mile south of the big bridges shown in the anime. [/off-topic]

Good work. Is there a reason why they choose that particular town?

I'll miss the old chaotic style for the opening, since I got used to it. I guess the new one is fine too because more people can enjoy watching the opening now.

I just wish they bring back the double butt-shake. "Pull over dat ass too fat whoop whoop!".

This is really great I'm just guessing but is that the town the author is from or did they pick it cause it's a nice port town near Kyoto?

I was looking forward to shinkas part of the story but after i saw it, it felt kinda bleh...i could just be a huge rikka fan, anyway i cant wait for the love stuff to start happening in the 2nd half well according to Kaoru Chujo

Rikka FTW!

The short answer is I don't know. The long answer is that I skimmed the staff blog and saw nothing about it. Then checked Japanese Wikipedia, which said nothing about the location of the novel, but said that the anime is set in various locations in Shiga Prefecture (where Otsu and the other towns mentioned are located). The anime's end-credits mention the "Shiga Location Office," the KeiHan Railway, et al. So I'm guessing that KyoAni's people collaborated with the prefectural government to find suitable locations close enough to Kyoto that their people could go out and take plenty of photos to work from.

Maybe they have a contract with an amateur photographers for these kind of things?

Then they have been very, VERY successful then. I often find myself pausing episodes because it's just way too embarrassing to watch. Never gone into a Chuuni phase myself, but I can completely understand the mindset, and thus the episodes can be painfully embarrassing to me.

And then I go back next week and watch some more

Indeed. Everytime i watch this, is like stab in my heart. I keep doing what Yuuta and Shinka do of OTZ. (smashing head to the wall, screaming, etc)

yet i still continue to watch .

How's this?

[RRW]

[Om Nerabdator]

tried to get rid of the darkness

[Ridwan]

Thanks for the trouble, everyone Here's a gift to show my gratitude :

[OceanBlue]

All these eyepatches-over-sunglasses are cracking me up. Such a great idea.

[Warm Mist]

So wait, according to Hanada:

Spoiler for .:

They are still introducing one more girl next ep? Or did "up to episode 5" not include said ep 5?

Answer:

Spoiler:

It specifically said up to episode 5, so we're through introducing main characters now.

I also want to clarify one aspect via translation of the Q&A

Spoiler:

-So the first half of the show was comedy-based.
Hanada: The story progresses from a strong comedic focus in the first half to a thrilling romantic focus in the second half. You start to sense how cute Rikka is and then that progresses into love. Starting with the second episode, broadcast on 10/10, we branched into the portion of the show where the audience gets to be introduced to the charms of the girls episode-by-episode. There was a steady addition of girls to the cast until we reached the 5th episode. (laughs) I hope everyone enjoys their liveliness, which started with Rikka.

[Warm Mist]

Okay then, that's good to hear.

Now I just want the staff for eps 7-10 to be announced and see if there will be any more DO or if we're back to the main studio.

Spoiler for is this even a spoiler?:

Oh, so it picks up later, nice to hear. The "koi ga shitai" part is a bit lacking at the moment

[GDiddy]

LOL....the Popular girl that the MC has a crush on was a geek as well....

This show is so strange.....but yet I find myself liking Rika for being so goddamned weird...

I just realized that Jun Fukuyama's the MC. Thought that was him...
