Chunibyo refers to funny and eccentric behavior of teenagers.

There is another chunibyo character in S;G, but since I have not watched the video, so I do not know has she appeared yet.

There is not really much to discuss, they prefer a style that favours younger, casual viewers, not late night shows... from their PoV it makes sense there are more money to be made there. Plus last time we tried to discuss something similar all relevant posts got deleted as OT...
