Mugen_Time said: Well...that was a lame resolution :/ Maybe I'm being insensitive but the reactions and reasoning just felt so...stupid. Especially that whole thing with reviving the 'Dark Flame Dragon' and how incredibly over-dramatised Rikka's little hunt was. Sorry Rikka, I can't help but find your actions rather idiotic. This episode just dropped my score from a 7 to a 6... or lower. It sure left a sour taste in my mouth. Only thing I liked was Satone's 'bye bye'. Even if her character didn't serve much of a purpose, she's still my favourite. Agreed. Kumin's filler ep, Makoto's removal and the little screen time and development Satone was getting already droped to 7/6 points this season to me. But this is getting just worse. This went from 10 from season 1 to 6/5 this season. neonBdragon said: The bye-bye at the end is her going to move away or just cut all connection to the hero? Zelot said: What is bye-bye suppose to mean?! is she leaving the show? Is she pushing him out of her heart? Is she just going somewhere and saying bye-bye like a normal person? Though je-nai would have been said... chuunibyou may say bye bye. Looking forward to the next episode. Just my guess; Remember episode 3: Yuuta:"You never said bye or see you" Satone: "Because that would mean we would have to part.The moment you say a word of parting, you've already parted" Schimiya finished this with a "bye-bye". I guess we know what is going to happen next episode. |
 |
| lol they sure have a large imagination and determination xD Shichimiya's "bye-bye" sure hits hard doesn't it? |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| god dammnit Kyoani doesn't have the gut to make a harem ending. |

Nerorex said: +1Well as much as I've liked Satone opposed to all the other characters in this show, she has been extremely irrelevant to the show and if she does leave the series next episode like I think she will it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I don't think anything that happens next week can save what has been a pretty mediocre season in my mind. |

| Only good things about this ep were the sneaky nisemonogatari reference and the fact that pink-hair is finally gone |
| Full time redditor and fedora owner, gg |
| Nah ... fuck this. Fuck this Chuunibyou bullshit -- it was all about the Shichimiya. I'm okay with Rikka but Rikka X Yuuta is like Father X Daughter or at best Oni-chan X Imouto ... EDIT: Dat "Bye-bye" ... |

| One more to go. Season could've been better but I still enjoyed it. Shicimiya is now moving in from yuuta. |
| This season has been just pure filler for entertainment. Yuuta, Rikka and co. has been reduced to just objects of fanservice to preserve the chuuni atmosphere from season 1. The only thing that possibly had development this season was Nibutani/Mori Summer. Considering how last episode set up such a good drama only for this episode to have it resolve in quick fashion, Satone was really an extremely unnecessary character for the season. (Although I like her.) Still hovering between a 5 and a 6 for this season. Next episode will determine it I guess. |
| not sure if epic or not but it felt awesome to watch lol |
  |
| Dark Flame Dragon has been revived. Oh Shihchimiya don't leave!!! |
| That was the perfect atmosphere for a kiss scene. There must be one in the last episode. Hard to imagine what that fight looked like without the lens of chuunibyou. |
 |
| Expected some more drama. this was just shit. 11 episodes for just 1 kiss on the cheek.. Dat bye-bye at the end though.. T_T |
 |
| Kinda... loved this episode more than the previous one. - oh my gosh I love Sichimiya so much why did she end so cliched-up ? - Rikka is such an interesting character. I was so afraid for Yuuta to stay blind as hell. But he saw it coming and (please could he get mad at Rikka someday ? Just make her understand he loves her more than her stupid chunni please.) Okay I'm done. |
| Despite all this hate on the forum the anime is still rated at 7.99, rofl. |

 |
| Oh my, Dekomori getting jealous was too cute >//<. A kind of intense episode. Still I can't enjoy this season at its fullest because Sophia is really annoying. |
 |
| much nibutani, much love. |
    |
| Whooo! They bring moments from I thought there will be kiss on lips... only hugs... ;( I wish they should reality/fantasy... because I always think how this look in real xD |

Cedronia said: This is what happen when they decided to go original (completely different from novel)...Shichimiya become unnecessary character and this season is kinda pointless. At least this is still more enjoyable than most of winter anime... Please at least give a decent final episode to wrap up the season or else... Why didn't they stick with the novels? |

| Well,with just one episode to go it is now safe to say that this season is definetly worse than the first. kuuurt said: Shichimiya's status: BLOWN THE FUCK OUT ;_; Ajunky said: VanishingKira said: This... Just this.not even a kiss could save this lackluster season. Did you seriously expect a kiss from KyoAni? Well, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu did have a kiss scene, if I remeber correctly. So it's not entirely impossible. |
| Aw. I expected a battle with that grand opening of the seal... kinda disappointed that it didn't really happen. Oh well, I thought at the end, Sophia would say "I love you" to Yuuta. Ahh. |

| What i am mainly hoping is that they don't screw up the ending this time which they did with the previous season, tho the previous season had a much stronger buildup to the ending. Something that's completely lacking here. It feels like they went for the safe option this time and go with a neutral ending especially seeing how things are going right now. Personally i thing despite the horrible ending first season was much better then this season so hopefully they will do something good with the ending this time. Need to wait a week to find out tho. |
| Meh. I don't know why, but KyoAni supernatural action doesn't click with me at all. |
 |
| Only one episode left. Don't screw up the ending now! We need something solid, something concrete... like a kiss and a love confession between Yuuta and Rikka will hit the mark. Also there's one thing that has been bothering me through this whole season: and that is the fact that Yuuta has no male friends! And the only one he ever had has been reduced below support character level to the point of everyone forgetting about him (basically he does not count lol). Don't get me wrong! I'm all up for being surrounded by girls, but, from a westerner's point of view, I find it extremely unrealistic for a teenage guy (or any guy for that matter) to not have even one male friend. That sort of thing breaks the immersion and lowers the overall enjoyment level of any show IMHO. |

| Only one more craptastic episode to go. I'm so sick of this terrible show and this terrible season. |

xchee said: Rapidfir3Pho3nix said: OMFG you people are almost as dense as Yuuta. Satone was introduced to bring Rikka and Yuuta closer together. That was the whole point. They became closer than they were thanks to Satone; she was not irrelevant. Damn, that should be obvious. Anyways, it'll be sad to see her leave next episode. We have Touka and Nibutani to do that. Besides...its not like they developed that much... |
| Shichimiya suicide scene OH NO, dont do that! NOOOoooooo! |
| Satone x Yuuta all the way, dat Bye-bye tugged my heartstrings |
BlackCrescent said: It shocked me when I know all the random things that Rikka done serves a purpose. The whole point of this season is to REVIVE THE DARK FLAME DRAGON. That hug is AWESOME. Love this season very much. Hope that the last episode they kisses. P.S.GTFO haters. But I couldn't get the exact purpose of it, why was so important to revive the dragon? |
Faust91x said: But I couldn't get the exact purpose of it, why was so important to revive the dragon? I'm guessing it was Rikka actually feeling insecure about her relationship from the start; it was going nowhere and she didn't quite know what to do to step it up. Then, she found that old chunni letter from DFM and suddenly she had something she could do to prove that she was worthy of "having a contract" with DFM. It was something she could actually grasp, rather than dealing with her emotions on the real world (which she also eventually did anyway). It was very important for HER, even if it wasn't important for Yuuta. So, to me the whole season is about finding ways of dealing with your own emotions. Same goes for Shichimiya. I must admit that like a lot of folks here I found this episode to be a little anti-climatic; but then watching it a second time, it struck me as very... subtle in many ways. Maybe a bit fast paced, which gives this sllight off-putting feeling and not enough room for everything to sink in. It's like vanilla ice cream. If you eat it too fast you can't appreciate it. Shichimiya is NOT over it just yet! You can see it in her eyes on the final scene. Her fight with the Dark Flame Dragon, like in Rikka's case, was to deal with her feelings by fighting them on the Chuuni world. She may have defeated the dragon, but look again; she was falling uncounscious after it was over, meaning that such victory had a cost, a sacrifice. On the real world, she is trying to do the same now, and she is still doing so by trying to keep a strong façade. Her sacrifice? Yes: saying goodbye. |

bastek66 said: This episode proves how unnecesary was even introducing Shichimiya in this season. Yeah, I completely agree. When Shichimiya said goodbye to Yuta, it wouldn't surprise me if she suddenly moves away. This season definitely sucks compared to the previous one. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Is it just me or Shichimiya gave the idea that she was going to leave then? |
| Wait. I'm so confused. What was the conflict? I really enjoyed the first 6-7 episodes for all the great comedy and slight advancements in the main pair's relationship. Sure, not really big plot motivators, but still a lot fun to watch. But others have been pointing out, it reeeaaally stalled these past few episodes. |

| As usual, what an amazing episode! I really felt the drama build up at points of the episodes. Everyone character is amazing~ They all had their roles and portrayed them well. The osts were also amazing this episode. Set the mood right for the most important parts. Can't wait for the next episode~ |

Rapidfir3Pho3nix said: There is never anything introduced in the series that would lead you to believe they aren't growing closer. Everything that happened so far this season has felt like it was the natural course of their relationship regardless of Satone.OMFG you people are almost as dense as Yuuta. Satone was introduced to bring Rikka and Yuuta closer together. That was the whole point. They became closer than they were thanks to Satone; she was not irrelevant. Damn, that should be obvious. Anyways, it'll be sad to see her leave next episode. |
| How come every character has to have a "purpose"? They just exist, like any other real person.... They add color and life to a story. Shichimiya is there so her own story can be told; someone who has chosen to give up her own feelings on the past only for them to come back at full force when it's already too late... And then having to choke down these feelings for the sake of the others... That's HER story, not Yuuta's or Rikka's. This anime is not JUST about Yuuta x Rikka, at least not for me. But well... to each his own. And yeah, I DO like Shichimiya very much. Her "bye-bye" really stung my heart. |

babymilo91 said: Mori Summer sighting again lol. This was a good episode. That bye-bye at the end got to me a bit. that bye bye at the end kinda made my heart drop a little |

TravSavage said: So... what was the point of this season again? Maybe introduce the origins of some of the 8th grade syndrome members. Shichimiya is like the middle person who has connections with both Yuuta and Nibutani during their 8th grade syndrome. Sanae still calling Nibutani fake-morisummer kind of kills it though. So basically just a normal love-triangle with searching for inner-love through finding keys(coins) to solidify their enteral contract, while also staying who they are(the more they love Yuuta, the more they fall into reality thing). It's not the best but I think you guys are being a bit too rough here. It's really hard to mix the fake world and real world like this anime does and when I go back and try to evaluate what else they could of done. Except for make Rikka giving up on her powers, but that might be better saved for a future season? Would you rather see that now, or see that in their last year of high school when they have to get ready for the "real world". |
