Wonderful second episode! That was just a great battle scene! I really hope the Dark Flame Master comes back!

KaoruAoiShiho · 2012-10-11, 12:36

Amazing show. Right before this I tried to watch Psycho-Pass and lol'ed heartily.

I don't know if Kumin is supposed to be a recurring character, but dear god, she has my permission to stick around as long as she likes.

I love how even though Togashi's chūni-byō is in remission, he is still sufficiently fluent to decode Rikka's obtuse bullshit.

This is Miyoshi, the person directing episode 2.

She's Chuunibyou, But I Want to Love Her...
I've worked on many projects that I can't remember, but this is entertaining. We're just beginning to tell the story, yet Rikka gets no sympathy from the plot.

When I was checking the key animation that our staff poured their heart into, I felt like Yuuta; trying not to get too absorbed where I couldn't continue. Too late, I'm already entranced. Why do I know this? Because my arm has already been bandaged from work...
"This must be the evil De Quervian tenosynovitis..."

Ah, Toka-san appears in the second episode. Is she really a normal adult? She might be a spy from some country.
"Supervisor, what's going on?"
"Hehehe（ ´<_｀）"
Damn.

Oh, something else has been intriguing me. What about Deko-chan?! Unfortunately, she didn't appear in the second episode. When will we see her?
"Supervisor, how long will we wait?"
"....（ ´<_｀）"
Damn....
I'm really interested how this will turn out. I hope everyone continues to watch this show.

Animation Director Chiyoko Ueno:

This is Ueno, the animation director for episode 2.

KWANG! CLASH!
Everyone's stress levels were raised while we were working on the action scenes. When we were drawing, we also felt how cute the real world scenes played out in comparison to the fantasy world. The weapons changed a bit from the conceptual image in the storyboards. As they are now, they look really interesting.

The artist in charge of drawing the scene where Rikka cancels the magical barrier outside her apartment was quite obsessed. (laughs)

I hope the new characters introduced in the second episode continue to be lively throughout the rest of the series.
I'm happy that people enjoyed watching this episode. Thank you for viewing this episode.

Photographer Hiroki Ueda:

I'm Ueda and I was in charge of photographing episode 2 of Chuunibyou. In this episode, we have the introduction of Kumin, Toka, and the cat.

Of course, I think everyone would remember the chuunibyou action scene first. Rikka versus Toka. A ghastly delusional battle between the sisters! A howling umbrella! A roaring ladle! If you saw it, I guarantee you will love that scene!

It was intense for me photographing when the girls got sucked into Rikka's delusion. Adding the magic circles, adding attack effects, and making filters was a very intense process.

Naturally, I'm playing the photographing process up, but while I was making those effects, I enjoyed thinking about all the viewers who would see them in action.

I think my heart skipped a beat. That cartwheel over the sofa was amazing. Forget class rep Shinka, Yuuto should go after Rikka's sister.

When I was little, I've played fluorescent light pretending that it's a light saber. Yup, you guessed. That was the time when I've watched Star Wars for the first time ever.

bhl88 · 2012-10-11, 13:29

Keima should have thought of that.

Ithekro · 2012-10-11, 13:32

Rather aerobic isn't she? Wonder what she does to manage that kind of movements to keep up with teenagers.

Ruri was in character only among otaku and not always even then.

Anyone make any Avatars of Rikka's Big Sis?

GundamZZ · 2012-10-11, 16:54

The younger sister looks like Sword Art Online's Sachi.

Speaking about the brother who has the superior complex. A lot of anime characters are like him(K, Stein Gates, etc.).

FlareKnight · 2012-10-11, 16:57

I have to say Kumin can definitely show up in future episodes, extremely likable and entertaining. Completely at ease at getting sucked up into the moment.

Somehow I'm not surprised that Rikka's condition has gone this far with a sister like that. She gives the impression of a dangerous last boss to normal people. With that kind of person around it's like an eternal cycle. Though can sympathize in part with what she deals with.

Yeah, going after someone who's blackmailing you is always a good plan

Dat action and great layouts with perspective and ground angle shots, that's sure a Kigami episode. Great stuff.

Thanks a lot for the translation. When Hyouka aired I wondered why nobody translated staff comments because it's always a pleasure to read how staff feel and how they handle things. Lol@Kigami's comment and Rikka opening her door was indeed polished.

Oh.. So he used his pen name then. That was really odd to see his real name get used just like ANN has listed.

Dear Lord... I am gonna die of overdose. And if I don't die by the end of this anime, I will die afterward thanks to withdrawal.

Warm Mist · 2012-10-11, 21:39

According to some anon, Kigami animated some cuts of the delusional fight scene, uncredited. I don't know how trustworthy this information is, but it doesn't seem that far-fetched considering the occasion.

Master_Yoma · 2012-10-11, 22:06

Wow Touka she is nimble jumping out the window and over the sofa

Ishe · 2012-10-11, 23:07

The cat going down the slide was funny. I could see a cat going down a slide looking exactly like that.
