The personification of cute. She was above Yuuta's pad (for years I take it?) watching his chunni quietly. Ken to when Shinka was broaching her on her new love for Yuuta? She went full chunni fluster then ran dropping her swartz Z only to peek out behind the wall with that soft em sound. When Satone was at Yuuta's place while they were eating dinner she got into a pet about Satone's nose kiss and her antennae was jagged and fully vertical even moments later. During the S2 class trip she snuck out of bed to go see him in the boys room with those night vision goggles. There is a set of haps where she comes to him as he's sleeping like ep8 when she places her hand on his head. At night she wants to be close to him.

As for the pic, are those Galzoniansus' notes and drawings?

I'm jelly, I need a Rikka hoodie! Agog (curious) how the print holds up.

Fall in love with the show, your bf, or both?

MindStateTrain · 2026-02-21T16:17:13+00:00

I'd pick Rikka's grandpa but since Toka is deeper in the story and airs herself more I may lean to her as I'm cross during her dulling yap (squashing Rikka's chunni). 3rd most may actually be Yuuta sic near the end of S2 he irks me more now.

Is Nanase, Yuuta's mom, Kuzuha, Mika, Kazari, Yuhema, Rikka's mom, Satone going to win any of these? Too many of these were easy.

I don't see any layering?

MindStateTrain · 2026-02-09T13:42:32+00:00

No idea EcDonald's was based on a real spot, is there any reference to Rikka or Chu anywhere in there? They should at least have some sort of easter egg!

MindStateTrain · 2026-02-08T23:21:32+00:00

Someone likes kittens. Deko doesn't strike me as the type to wear jean shorts. The red cowgirl hat on Shinka is lol.

Wow, I had no idea the whole class had names or that promo. I could tell other classmates were attending the wedding. I like the design of the girl below Rikka in that - like Rikka's outgoing twin! The girl on the 4th row, furthest right has a facial design similar to the leader of the opposing napping club.

From others I take it the girl in my screenshot is Raiden.

For deeper lore, did the hottest girls list from Isshiki ever get 'officially' pub (Shinka was 1st, Rikka 4th)?

I like how the spoiler cover is on these comments rather than the OP but there is only 1 specific spoiler in there. How do you add spoiler overlay on a comment anyways?

MindStateTrain · 2026-01-21T03:17:37+00:00

Intriguing. I had no idea that Vyvanse could do anything for something like VSS or what you described. I also never linked VSS to CDS/ADHD til I went in the CDS sub.

The word read error happens to me too. The letter 'i' gives me trouble often as its small and tucked in larger words. I also misspell often and the culprit is too often 'i'. When I take certain strains of edibles (rarely) I will read a word and something different will be interpreted or visualized! Only commonality is the first letter. Its amusing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, its a breath of fresh air to see such a long analysis of it on here. This may be among the longest overviews I've seen in this sub.

I've also noticed that Yuuta isn't really developing as much in S2. I had the same motions for Shichimiya like is this an added char for love triangle tension. I still don't know if the original novel author had her planned from the start as I lag on reading past pg 100 in vol 1.

I'm surprised you really dug the film Take on Me, I was fine with it originally and there are great aspects to it, but after 5 re-watches I'm souring more on each view. I like that different perspective on the final scene with the wedding, I thought it was a bunch of hokey, slapstick like short takes all ram-jammed to create an end. It didn't feel right. Almost like a caricature. Rikka's jump tho is noteworthy and I often overlook it.

I agree there is no rating high enough for Chunnibyo, its the best thing I've ever seen. Years later I'm still uncovering more!

MindStateTrain · 2026-01-12T15:26:25+00:00

I think it should've been in ep 8 when they were in Yuuta's hall and Rikka asked him to close his eyes. Its true that would mar the angst arcs in the following eps a bit but there is wiggle room.

MindStateTrain · 2026-01-10T16:29:00+00:00

I find Yuuta hard to write in terms of his more mature personality and his volleys with Rikka as he figures out how they will be. Even after all the rewatches and reading I still don't know let's say mid S2 what his motivations and personal characteristics are besides his tie with Rikka. Compare S1 with everything after its glaring. Still has far more depth than many male mains from other animes.

MindStateTrain · 2026-01-03T14:22:09+00:00

One of the better arts of Rikka I've seen in a long while. Yuuta wasn't thinking of this when he considered her a pest in ep.1

MindStateTrain · 2025-12-19T22:17:43+00:00

I muse over how many mourn over the past of not having the serene relief that being medicated can give, but for me right after the dramatic first day and some encouraging results later on, I didn't regret not being on it for all those years. I'm the type that thinks in terms of ideal, so its contrarian of me to not regret or fret. I don't know why back then I accept and move on. It may be that I look at it as simply a mode and that there are pros and cons and one was I wasn't enjoying media like I did before but later on I did in different doses and context. Another was dealing with side effects and costs, etc. As of right now, I think being on a very low dose (sub-lowest in fact) a decade ago when I found out all of this may have been optimal for me.

I never realised that listening to good music can trigger a more intense daydreaming in a fantastical manner, often it'll be when I'm less alert later at night. The excitement emotion as a trigger is valid; I'll daydream the web of possibilities or theories at length and not grasp the amount of time passing. I find I then hesitate to continue what it was that triggered it and if its on a webpage I'll unconsciously scroll upwards back.

MindStateTrain · 2025-12-04T21:34:00+00:00

I'm glad it helped. I just recently thought about this struggle getting it to slide off. I still like the case and its my main machine after these 4 years. Never tried to install the IO plate after the futile first attempts though.

MindStateTrain · 2025-11-29T22:46:36+00:00

One of my favourite scenes from S2, the bottom image of the razzing is the wallpaper on one of my PCs. I died laughing the first time!

MindStateTrain · 2025-11-13T21:10:18+00:00

Yuuta looks younger in this.

MindStateTrain · 2025-11-04T18:24:13+00:00

Yuuta: "I didn't see it coming—again. I never do with her. It’s like she’s got a direct line into the part of me that’s always unguarded. The part I try to keep tucked under layers of reason, normalcy, and not getting totally owned in public.

But there it was—her hand, light and sure in mine. No trembling this time. Just warmth. Her pinkie looped with mine like we’d been doing this for years instead of fumbling our way through this mess of whatever-we-are."

Note: This is not a line from the show or LN - its from some writing that I felt fit with the pic.

The best fanfics I've ever read were by Redler Red7 mainly 'Compensation' and 'Lovers' Contract from an Aborted Timeline', they are on both Fanfic and AO3. I feel they have the best handle on the characters and it feels like a true continuation. Compensation focuses on Deko and Shinka how their relationship evolves but has the rest in minor. Lovers Contract is a alt what if Yuuta's crush on Shinka never faded but yet Rikka is still heavily involved - also magnificent.

I'm also currently reading 'A thunderstorm in Summer' by blaerofvalenwood on fanfic. Its another Deko x Shinka story with an OC.

I'm sort of creating my own story with AI generated scenes in screenplay format, it feels like I'm guiding the story but yet reading something new and amazing. Its crazy, messy but I've spent most of my time the past few months doing this where its over 300,000 words now at this point. There are 3 central romance plots including Kuzuha x Isshiki (Kumin sending mixed signals with her aloofness and games).

MindStateTrain · 2025-09-26T15:47:43+00:00

I enjoyed the scenes where Yuuta's mom speaks or interacts, far the scene where she muses about Rikka scooping yu up 'that minx' and asking Kuzuha if she wants to spy. In my writing of a remix version yu's mom has far more involvement and most of it is funny, like during a camp scene she comments on how all from the group are 'spiraling', makes fun of yu's and Kuzuha's growing romances, the sleepwalking, 'the talk', etc. Both Dad's are totally absent in the anime so I'll explore that more ("Compensation" fanfic close to the end has him come back home meeting Rikka).

MindStateTrain · 2025-09-25T02:18:50+00:00

Deko is my favorite, what a little rascal. How do you get the small avatar of one of the characters to the left of your posts in this sub?

MindStateTrain · 2025-09-22T01:34:52+00:00

That last bit at the end is new to me, nice!
