Yuta has a problem. As one of the thousands of Japanese students afflicted with "chunibyo," a state where they're so desperate to stand out that they've literally convinced themselves that they have secret knowledge and hidden powers, Yuta spent most of his middle school years living in a complete fantasy world. But that's not his major problem now, as with a lot of work and effort, he's finally managing to overcome his delusions to the point where he thinks he's ready to start high school with all his cards in order. No, his BIG problem is the girl he first encounters climbing on his balcony. Because it seems that his own efforts to rid himself of his chunibyo have attracted the attentions of another sufferer, and SHE's decided that this makes him her soul mate. And since Rikka's just moved in upstairs, now he's being sucked into HER fantasy world! Can a formerly wild and crazy guy handle being the focus of a completely delusional girl? Or will his own chunibyo return with a vengeance? Either way, the phrase "madly in love" is bound to get redefined in LOVE, CHUNIBYO & OTHER DELUSIONS!

Well Worth the Money for What You Get and How Good it Really Is
I was really surprised at how good this show was. Like a few other people have said, the ending is kinda rushed and strange (people gaining and losing Chunibyo and then just as quickly reversing again!). But other than that I think the show is one of the better school shows with its unique exploration of a "problem" in Japanese society. I also give it props for not becoming a harem anime as it SOOO easily could have (1 main guy and 4 main girls). I have been into Anime for 10 years now and can't figure out why the Japanese are so obsessed with kids in their shows but whatever. This show is worth a watch even if your not into the whole kid thing.HOWEVER, please watch it first before you buy it if you're not 100% sure it's your thing because of how much it costs. It's along the lines of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya but hilariously shows how fake their "powers" are. Amazon has the subtitled version for free on Prime and apps like Anime Hub and Crunchy Roll have it for free to watch as well but are sub only like Amazon.Honestly this set is a steal for how much they charge for a Limited Edition Box Set that rivals those of pre-Recession box sets without the price hike! I paid over $300 for Haruhi Suzumiya and many other shows that are only one season long way back when. So if you like Extras this is worth the coin.

My favorite anime!
This anime is grate but this collectors edition is awesome! Ive seen anime you can buy that only has 4 episodes in it and is about $65 *cough Kill La Kill *cough *cough (still a good anime but god dam), but for like $74 you get all this stuff just look at everything you get! Not only does it come with the subbed AND dubbed versions but it comes with Blu-ray and DVD sets to, just in case your one of the few people that dont actually have a Blu-ray player (Like me) not to mention the bookmarks, 152 page hardcover book, wallet chain, art boards, and everything else! Now for the anime, it f***en rocks you my have herd that the 2nd season isn't good but that's a load of crap its just as good as the 1st season. I may be biased because its my favorite anime but its my favorite because is really good, its not some anime where you couldn't give less of a s*** about the characters its actually dam good at making you feel something, well me at least, and I'm pretty cold sometimes. So yes it is a very good anime and if your a big fan and are wondering if you should get this or not, get it. If you dont want to shell out $74 then you can find the entire anime dubbed and subbed without all this sweet stuff here on amazon or on sentai film work's (The people that licensed and dubbed this anime) website.TLDR Too long didn't read ver: If your a fan and your wondering whether you should buy this, yes you should you wont be disappointed. If you think $74 is over priced you could spend $80 on a video game or popular anime and not get s*** compared to this. This is a amazing anime and this is one of the best collectors editions I've seen.

Amazing anime. Amazing box set.
This boxset is nothing short of beautiful. I was in love with every extra that came along in here (except for the ridiculous novelty eyepatch which is just hilarious). The art book is also not the greatest, nothing really caught my eye in there and it looked like it was just screencaps? I haven't really given it a thorough look yet though. The main box is gorgeous with a shiny holographic finish in the light. My favorite part though had to be the art boards which are just beautiful and cute.Lastly, the anime. If you haven't seen the anime, it is fantastic. It is very much a slice of life, but it throws in wonderful comedy and fantasy elements without going over the top or pulling you out of the shows reality. The characters are lovable and the voices fit perfectly. (I have only seen one episode of the dub and it sounded awful, but don't hold me to that, I will still sit down and give it a watch with the dubs to be sure).
U**.
Good enough.
Its just snippets of the original but more of the scenes the girl is in. I gave this to my bf. Seems to enjoy it enough, doubt he will watch it again. I'm sure he will just watch the original. You're better off buying the movie.

Get ready to ugly cry
At first you think this is a funny high school comedy, but then that ending hits... and you find yourself ugly crying with a bottle of wine. Season 2 and the Movie are great too if you want to see where these weirdos go next with their shy love.

A fantastic anime set!
A fantastic set! The packaging is very beautiful and well put together. The case has a nice shine to it and feels sturdy. I mainly got the set to watch the series but the included physical extras were pretty nice. My favorite was the key chain that came with it. All of the art is cool too. The blu-ray itself looks great and it includes S1, an OVA, and 6 mini original shorts. The series ended up being fantastic too so it was well worth the money. RIKKA IS EVERYTHING :D My only gripe with the set is that it is DVD sized, but since the box makes for a great display piece that's not really a big deal. Highly recommended.

The Essence of Puppies & Kittens in Anime Form
The anime is cuteness coupled with romance between a kid putting aside geekdom and a midget who's more into fantasy rather than reality. The dub isn't as bad as I thought before either, voices were funny and cute.

Great Product, Great Show
This Anime is by far in my top ten. Its a romantic comedy that kept me watching till the end. Its comedy stile is very nice and its love story is even better. I am a guy that love a cute love story, this is definitely just that. The box set is nice and comes with a lot of cool items. I bought this when it was around $90 dollars, no regrets. I would be more than happy to spend at least $120. This would make a nice gift for someone you know that likes/Loves Anime. 5 out of 5.

"Avalon Smash !!"
Chunibyo: Translates roughly as middle school disease. A delusion in which someone thinks they posess special powers, or are in touch with what they see as a deeper reality, where all their actions have great importance and significance.Kyoto animation have done a great job with this anime, a visualy beautiful blending of fantasy and reality, in a tale with plenty of fun and comedy, but also some moments of true pathos. Cute, but not lightweight, entertaining, and heart warming..... Yuta is a normal, average highschooler, at last.. True, in middle school he was a bit out there, believing he held the mystic power of the "Dark flame master!" But that is all behind him now. The future will be free of delusions! Little does he know, and little is he prepared for the encounter, as a strange girl (Rikka) decends into his life, bringing a roller coaster of madness, and emotion that will turn his world upside down. With some wonderful support characters, all with their own take on chunibyo, this would compliment the collection of any fan of anime.
