The original light novel series that inspired the anime and movies, written by Torako and illustrated by Nozomi Ooishi, was first published.
The anime television adaptation of 'Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!' was first aired, increasing the series' popularity and setting the stage for subsequent movies.
The movie 'Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Rikka Version' was released in Japanese theaters, serving as a compilation film with additional scenes focusing on the character Rikka Takanashi.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
