But Yuuta's extreme effort to come off as "normal" is just as insincere as Rika's rejection of reality. If anything, the show is more about him growing up than it is for Rika.

Agreed. In my opinion, this show will about Yuuta's attempt at finding a personality that he can be comfortable with more than about curing chuunibyou. I guess it's a type of personality identification.
In fact, the description of chuunibyou in the beginning of the show--that some teenagers will suddenly drink black coffee despite not liking it or listen to foreign music despite never having shown an interest before--kinda reminds me of this idea: http://psychcentral.com/lib/2007/your-teens-search-for-identity/.
That's pretty much what I thought it was about, and it's part of the reason why I like it so much so far.

I like it too in a sort of masochistic sense. It's just such a gloriously painful troll.

Un-go ep 1 (dub)
OP from School Food Punishment is awesome the first moment it plays and the Ending animation is really stunning. I like the song alot though cant recall having heard anything else from the group. For the mystery almost fail victim to doing like most of the characters and jumping to the wrong conclusions
. Yuuki's is an interesting character and should where the shades more, while, Inga is kind of annoying
. I want Hayami to have a bigger role.
Voice acting to me was impressive and solid all around for an english dub, I think mouth timing is visibly off though. Will still retain my preorder for the blu ray and patiently wait to finally see episode 2 once it comes.

in the end called the person who did the murder wrong. Though it seems she wasnt punished for it, I think?
though the power when she transforms was incredible in how it was handled

I've only had one gaydar moment in my life. I have no idea if I was right.
Yuuta actually wants to be normal, though, which is his biggest difference from Rikka. There's nothing insincere about hiding your own nature if you genuinely want to change.

Wow, this was really good. Mysterious and scary and beautiful all at the same time. Most hyped show of the season for me, by far.

Would answer but literally cheated to get the answer so won't bother~
Just finished watch that too, it is good. If they really did revert back in technology after a millennium, I'd really like to see what's left of the "old world." I like how NIER did it, so it'll be interesting to see what this FTNW does.
I have to ask though: Why is everyone so fuckin mad in this show?
I just did too. I knew I should have went with my second guess.
OniAi, Monsuno, Aikatsu, Busou Shinki, Little Busters, Teekyuu, K, Hiiro no Kakera S2, TLR
, SAO.

Crunchyroll has shown that they're willing to pick up literally anything if they can get it.
Yeah, but this is even worse than crap like Recorder and Ransell and Chitose Get You! The line needs to be drawn somewhere!

Robotics;Notes 1
First off, this is one of the worst OPs I've had the displeasure of hearing all year. The song was most unpleasant on the ears. The visual workings of the opening weren't a treat either. Similar sentiments go for the ED as well.
As for the episode, it was largely a slog. A note I have to mark is the music accompanying the scenes with the club consultant (and the hallway) in the first-half. It wasn't complimentary at all and dragged me out of immersion. The characters (Akiho, Kaito) haven't shown any elements worthy of initial intrigue. As far as "genki" girls are portrayed, I either find myself enjoying them (rare) or disliking them (common). Akiho is definitely leaning towards the latter party. In fairness, both characters were cumbersome to watch by the end of it all. That said, the general art and animation are quite decent.
Overall, the episode was a meager work. I'll stick around for some robot battles, ideally they'll make for something much more entertaining than this flat beginning was.
Ugh.

a second season is needed ...you guys maybe don't know but there such awesome fights waiting to be seen ..i must see them animated ...
kumagawa ? Ruin ? DOES NOT COMPUTE
Holy shit that gif is amazing.
I did enjoy it in a masochistic way considering it's so insanely fitting for a Gainax/Nisio anime. I'm actually surprised they didn't throw in Emukae, the Hipster and others for maximum trolling.
I wanted to highlight the part in your second statement to go along with the first, that is the idea of context behind the stress or anxiety a person may be feeling. This seems very important because for a system that so indiscriminately paints things in such a black and white manner, it seems like it's just ripe to be very easily exploited, abused and taken advantage of by others.
An example of stress that could potentially harm others already mentioned is someone yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater, thus causing people to panic and potential hurt or kill someone by trampling them. This stress would perhaps be picked up by scanners just outside or near the theater as people were escaping. Due to the systems nature it seems it would flag these people as potential threats that may need to be subdued. That is just one example and there are many other examples which could lead to more extreme or confrontational outcomes. Since the system doesn't discriminate, how then does it now differentiate between all these cases, some of which may be legitimate threats others which may be more just false positives due to a prank?
Something else I've been wondering if the show will address is, for a system that's so incredibly computer focused what happens when the system gets hacked? Basically imagine a group like anonymous getting access to the psycho pass system. That certainly seems like it would open up quite a can of worms.
Cinderella Girls!
Damn it. You're better than this, Kaede.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. You gotta be kidding me. Not that I think it's the greatest or anything but there are so many worse OPs I've heard in like the last few days even.
Because he's a sadistic asshole and held a deep hatred for the princess and wanted her to die slowly.

Perhaps a pinch of exaggeration on my part, as there have been a handful of terrible OPs this year.
However, the one belonging to Robotics;Notes doesn't fall too far from that tree.
chuunibyou 01
what the fuck? I thought this was about kids with big imaginations
it turns out they suffer from a subset of schizophrenia...
why are happy ragtime ditties accompanying their hallucinations?
why is there such an under reaction of being ostracized by his peers?
is this really an entire show based on how amusing it is for people to be delusional?
I feel sick, fuck you kyoani
