The first glimpse of Chuu-ni-byou de mo Koi ga Shitai’s upcoming TV anime has proved what moeblob fans had feared all along – it may well be the cutest thing to come from Kyoto Animation since K-ON!…
The preview:
Chuu-ni-byou de mo Koi ga Shitai (very loosely, “I’ll even date this dumb second-grader!” – “chu-ni-byo” referring to the sort of juvenile idiocy commonly seen amongst adolescents) follows the usual pattern of Type B light novels with overly long and almost untranslatable titles, being a love comedy between two adolescents, one of whom happens to sport a classic eye-patch moe accessory and harbours secret powers, perhaps.
The anime is set to air in the autumn 2012 season.
Omake:
““chu-ni-byo” referring to the sort of juvenile idiocy commonly seen amongst adolescents”
I can’t believe that even in 2012 this site STILL doesn’t know how to do a simple google search to find out what Chunibyu means. The very first search result is Wikipedia:
Chūnibyō (中二病) is a Japanese colloquial term that translates to “middle two disease”, i.e. “middle-school second-year syndrome” or “eighth-grader syndrome” or “year-nine syndrome”, typically used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur, who so desperately want to stand out that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. The term has been popularized by the manga and anime series Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
and the title does NOT mean “I’d date a dumb second grader” not even loosely. It means ‘Even with Eighth Grader Syndrome, I Want to Be in Love’
another generic harem anime, and I expected more for kyo-ani. And to those that think its not a harem just look at the opening. I dont mind moe, but harems need to die out.
Seriously KyoAni? That art style was great when used with Hyouka, but it doesn’t suit this. Makes this into more of a moe crap than it already was before.
Moe blobs are cute but their becoming more generic with little substance.
We need more shows like DANCE IN THE VAMPIRE BUND!
Or
A Dark Rabbit Seven Lives!
Looks nice but not my cup of tea. I need more girls to ship together… or even better some real yuri.
