Synopsis
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Rikka Version (2013) is a Japanese anime film you can watch online on iFILM. It retells the first season of the series, this time through the eyes of its leading oddball, Rikka Takanashi, a girl with full-blown "eighth-grader syndrome" who is convinced the Wicked Eye sleeps inside her right socket.
Rikka hides from real life in a private universe of magic and secret orders. Beside her is Yuta, a recovering fantasist who has outgrown his own childhood delusions and now cringes at the memory of them. Their awkward romance is the heart of it all: first love, ordinary school days and Rikka's elaborate rituals set against the grown-up world she would rather not enter. Familiar episodes come stitched with new scenes and her own narration.
Produced by Kyoto Animation and directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, the movie gives fans a fresh angle and a warm dose of nostalgia. Newcomers should start with the show first, or half the jokes will slip past. Maaya Uchida voices Rikka. Stream Rikka Version online on iFILM.
