Rafael Shinzo
My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

Titled "Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!", the announced film has received its first trailer. It is scheduled for release on January 6, 2018.

Synopsis Chuunibyou demo Koi:

The story revolves around Rikka, currently a third-year high school student, who still suffers from "chunibyo" syndrome. University entrance exams are on the horizon, and it's spring break. Yūta and Rikka are together as usual. One day, Rikka's older sister, Tōka, announces she's taking Rikka to Italy with her, as Tōka is moving there for work and believes they should move together as a family. Yūta understands Tōka's point of view, but thinks that at this rate, he and Rikka will be separated. Shinka and the other members suggest that Yūta and Rikka should "run away," thus setting the stage for Yūta and Rikka's travels across Japan in their escape drama.

The animation is by Kyoto Animation studio (Hyouka, K-On!, Kyoukai no Kanata), the story is by Torako, who is directing, with Tatsuya Ishihara as director, Jukki Hanada as screenwriter, and Kazumi Ikeda returning for the project to handle character designs.

Finally, the first season of the anime Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! has a total of 12 episodes and premiered in Japan in October 2012. Furthermore, the film Love, Chunibyo, & Other Delusions: Rikka Takanashi Version premiered in September 2013, followed in January 2014 by the 12-episode sequel, Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren.
