I am honestly confused why people think that Shana, To Aru or Madoka are even close to being chuuni. The reason why Japanese call them chuuni is because it the setting reminds them of the fantasy that a middle school kid would come up with but that is not the definition of the term.

Chuunibyou is about being pretentious, having delusions about being someone else than you are, and so on. The baseline of this is that none of it is real and only exist in the mind of the chuuni.

I'm going as far as saying that chuuni is a character trait that cannot be applied to a series at all.
