Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions the Movie: Take on Me

The characters are endearing and relatable. The series that led up to this movie was one of the most thoughtful, heartwarming, funny, and beautifully animated that I've ever seen. Love Chunibyo and Other Delusions is an amazing series that deals with things all teens deal with: hope, pain, loss, friendships, peer pressure, burgeoning sexuality, and psychological coping skills that help them heal (or hide) from tragedy. Eight years passed from Season 2 of LCandOD until fans demanded the studio either make a season 3 or at least resolve the conflicts with a movie. Thankfully all the original voice actors are back for this one. Our whole family loved it, and it provided some closure. Fans will still want more, because that's what great art does, pulls you in and wraps you up in its world.

This movie sums up all the ideas and the love shown throughout the series: the pure, heartwarming characters and their wonderful chemistry together! I'm gonna truly miss all the characters, Rikka, Yuuta, Nibutani, Dekomori, Kumin, Shichimiya, and the series in general! This movie is the culmination of Kyoto Animation's greatest work. Hopefully, they can go on to make more amazing animes that have inspired anime lovers all over!

Another fine production from Kyoto Animation. As usual, the artwork is lovely and the animation is of high quality.

The story has some commonly used elements - high school students who belong to a club and struggle to interact with each other. The unique twist is that the students are deeply wrapped up in lives of fantasy or are trying to put their embarrassing fantasy pasts behind them. The long scenes of imaginary battles will appeal to some viewers and put off others, but they are well animated in either case.

The female lead, Rikka Takanashi, is struggling with her future - will she remain devoted to her fantasy world or evolve into someone more grounded in reality. Will she lose her identity? Her boyfriend, Yuuta Togashi, thought he had put his fantasy life in the past, but gradually accepts it is still a part of who he is. He would like Rikka to "grow up", but still loves her either way.

The supporting cast does a good job of adding dramatic tension or comedy relief as needed.

I did not expect to watch all of this, as it is not my usual type of show, but the quality of execution kept me watching to the end.

Love Chinibyo and other delusions Take on Me is sequel to season 2 and is the conclusion. If you liked the first 2 seasons you will feel at home. Chemistry between Yuta and Rikka is amazing as expected and plot is fast paced and very fun.

It was such an amzing movie, everything from it, I already seen it 7 times.
