'Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take on Me' Release Date, Latest News: New Trailer Previews Theme by ZAQ
The official trailer has been released for the upcoming Japanese romance-comedy anime series, "Eiga Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Take on Me (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! The Movie: Take on Me)." This serves as a follow-up to the two-season television anime series, "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions."
The trailer teases the newest, and perhaps even the biggest conflict that is about to hit Yuta and Rikka's relationship. Touka is moving to Italy for work and wants to take her younger sister, Rikka, with her so they can live there as a family.
But while Yuta does understand the filial side of the argument, he is also still well aware that moving to Italy will take Rikka away from him. So when Shinka and the other members of their social group suggest that the two of them should instead elope, it seems that this is exactly what they will do, and thus begins their escape drama that will take them across Japan.
