Eureka 7 episode 11

Holy shit the end fight scene from this episode was really intense. With the red attack and what not. I still have no idea what is inside that cloud and why the military and Gekko has to attack it.

Is that girl piloting that Dark LFO a dark counterpart or replacement to Eureka? Because it wouldn't be too much of a stretch if the government got another girl like Eureka once the Gekkostate left.

Watched Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions episode 1

...I don't know how I feel about it yet...

I know I'm suppose to be thinking Rika is the cutest thing ever...but her insistence on interfering with Yuta's life is kind of bugging me. If he decided he wants to forget his delusions and create a new life for himself in high school he should be able to. And if the people around school get to know about the delusions it's bound to be alienating...

maybe I'm biased because of how my first year of middle school went. I went to talk to the one person I knew from my old school and meet a girl named 'M'. I became friends with her only to find out later that by becoming friends with her I alienated myself from the rest of the class, no one liked her because they saw here as annoying. I stood by her because she was my friend, but as she and my old friend kept getting in fights, and 'M' started grating on my nerves by always being in her own word and not listening when I said I didn't want to do something...I just felt trapped. Thankfully I changed schools at the end of that year and my other two years of Middle school were a lot better.

But Rika reminds me a lot of 'M', and since Yuta did all he can to transfer it's not like he has that way out...

who knows, maybe I'm over thinking this. I do want to watch a few more episodes before making a decision.

You should definitely keep watching it. Trust me.

Just finished Deadman Wonderland. Read up on it a boatload too because I wanted to know more and man, a second season of that show would have been great.

I will, I mean I want to like Rika...it's just she is reminding me of 'M' so much...and if Yuta ends of feeling he has to become her friend because he feels sorry for her...then he will be like how I was in that situation.

And it may sound heartless, but I don't remember a fun time with her or her good qualities. She was kind of delusional I guess like Rika, and dragged me along, not listening to me like Rika(Haruhi too on another note) and I had no choice. I was shy, I didn't know how to go up and meet knew classmates on my own and the fact they looked down on me for being 'M's' friend made it worse.

I don't blame 'M' at all for that, all the 'cool kids' at the school were jerks. Once 'M' started hyperventilating after Gym and I took her to the nurses office and could only rub her back to try and support her as the nurse tried to help, and she ended up having to go to the hospital(she got better). But after that traumatic experience of having to see my friend go through that(still liked her at the time)...I got to my chorus class and my classmates response was 'well of course, she always get's sick'. I wanted to punch them in the face for saying something so heartless, but I don't think I said anything.

Given the choice I would of rather become friends with 'M' instead of the 'cool kids' but I wish I was able to chose instead of being dragged against my will. Then maybe I wouldn't feel a spark of resentment whenever I thought about it...

why am I over thinking this

I haven't thought of six grade in years...

Eureka 7 episode 12

Holy shit that was fucking trippy. Considering I just came from time-travelling Newtype psyco visions in Gundam Unicorn, this episode is even fucking weirder.

Episode 13

Not much. But that military dude looks like an older Renton. I see some parallels here....

[WhiteRanger]

One piece episode 663 luffy astonished the ma. Who inherits aces will. Was a great episode Every thing that built up to the end of this moment. And my god Sabo VA was great and I think he was a great choice as the VA. Can't wait till next week hopefully we get see sabo in action and we see him win flare flare fruit

Honestly I think that's a good sign, one of the show main strengths is that it doesn't force any opinion regarding Chuunibyo on you, different characters have different takes and different experiences regarding the syndrome, and all of em are valid and accepted.
So, if you think Rikka's wrong or the like, that is a valid opinion that will be explored.
At no point the show asks the viewer to agree with her.

Though to be fair, Rikka and Yuta aren't necessarily the greatest aspect of the show the other character might prove to be more interesting to you.

That's good. And yeah after rewatching the first episode and watching half of the second today I did find myself enjoying it more.

Spoiling myself I do feel sorry for Rika, and I know if I met her/met someone like her now I would want to help...I mean the refusing eye drops because she thinks it is 'holy water' and such is really worrying as it shows her delusions are negatively effecting how she interacts with the world.

For the past few years I've volunteered over the summer with kids with learning disabilities, and am going to college to become a teacher, so I can't help looking at Rika as an 'instructor' and think that she might need some professional help.
