The greatest conclusion to the best anime
TheGreatGreenBadger20 July 2020
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!

Rehash of Ren(Season 2)
blacklagoonyakuza6 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The same reused plot lines from Ren with Shichimiya having less of a role. Rikka tries to keep her eighth grade syndrome despite pressure from Yuta and her sister.Everyone else maintains their tropes from the anime. Isshiki is still just a throwaway gag character. Based on the pictures in Toka's phone she has a preference for girls.

A Heartfelt Conclusion
Mysterygeneration12 January 2024
The anime series Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Has a sequel called Take On Me, which advances romance and adds new material. The plot revolves around Rikka and Yuuta's everyday life, as they dash about at an absurd pace while telling stories about their ADHD and side trips. The characters engage with new things and continuously become fascinated by them, eventually discovering better times. A beloved meme from the film is the moment when Rikka dons night goggles and eats cookies instead of studying. As someone who has come to believe that automatic doors are their adversaries, Rikka's inability to enter Mordor is a beloved joke. Another favorite is the movie's explanation of motion sickness.

Satisfying End to a Unique Rom-Com Series
bill_allison5 December 2022
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.

Finally the time has come
suxecu30 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Finally after 4 years we get the continuation of the second season and kinda the end of the whole series, it's true that it may be some things uncleared or missing but as for me. I'm fullfilled just by having that last scene with Yuuta and Rikka at the end. It somehow makes it up for what the production team did to us on Ren last chapter. If you liked the series, this will at least make you feel at peace.

My review of Eiga Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai! Take On Me
jrege15 May 2019
I loved this movie. If this is the last we see of the series - this movie is a compelling and satisfying conclusion to Yuuta and Rikka's relationship.

100% Worth the wait!
roboraccon12 August 2018
I waited for this film for quite along time but I can honestly say it was worth the wait. The film brings a range of genres from romance to sci-fi and slice of life and clashes them together to creat a amazing film, it's funny but also is very emotional and that's what gives the film a nice touch add that to the amazing characters and set pice design with wonderful voice acting and you hav your self an amazing film.

Amazing Conclusion to the series
anirudhktg25 March 2021
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.

Well worth the wait! Ties up the series nicely
jeffcour10 October 2020
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.

Hate it
rahulbepari-7854216 April 2022
I hate one thing and that is Rikka big sister Touka marriage. I felt very bad in that seen ,don't know why . In whole series there is nothing wifey material things about Touka. She always a bold character. Then in the end she get married to a Italian guy ,why!!! This Anime was good without that Touka Marriage seen. Hate it .You destroy Touka character just marrying her with a hentai style Italian guys . Well done who did that.
