ACF 1650: Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai will be coming soon to Anime Network Online
Anime Network has announced the upcoming online release of Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai. The 12-episode series documents the foibles of young love and features direction by Tatsuya Ishihara (Air, Clannad), character designs by Kazumi Ikeda (Clannad, Kannon) and music by Nijine (Hatsukoi Limited, Akikan!)
Synopsis: Yutta has a problem: Rikka told him that they’re officially dating, but she’s… a bit delusional. It’s okay because he used to be delusional himself. He was just one of thousands of students afflicted with “Chunibyo”, so desperate to stand out that they’re convinced that they have secret knowledge and hidden powers. Unfortunately, that’s not Yutta’s real problem. Not even close.
Even though HE’s no longer delusional, and Rikka MIGHT be getting better, his OTHER female “friend,” Satone, his soul mate back when he was a chuuni, has come back into his life, and she’s still NUTS; unhappy that Yutta has cut her off, she joyfully rips his real world to pieces in order to get him back in her imaginary one! “Crazy in love” is redefined as three fantasy worlds collide in Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai!
