Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take On Me

Yūta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi are in their third and final year of high school, facing university entrance exams and the question of what comes next. Their plans are upended when Rikka's older sister, Tōka, announces that she is taking a stable job in Italy and intends to bring Rikka with her so the family can stay together. Unwilling to be separated from Rikka, and encouraged by their friends in the club, Yūta agrees to a drastic solution: the two run away together, setting off on a journey across Japan while they work out what their relationship means to them.

The film is an anime feature from Kyoto Animation, released in Japanese cinemas in January 2018 and running 94 minutes. It continues the story told in the Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! television series and the earlier Rikka Version recap film, with Tatsuya Ishihara directing from a screenplay by Jukki Hanada; the large credited crew reflects the scale of the production. Jun Fukuyama and Maaya Uchida lead the voice cast as Yūta and Rikka, joined by Chinatsu Akasaki, Azumi Asakura, Sumire Uesaka and Juri Nagatsuma. It sits sixth in the chronological list of Ishihara's directed features, between his 2017 Sound! Euphonium film and the 2019 entry in that series.

The film took about 2 million dollars worldwide, a modest figure consistent with a niche franchise release. Audiences received it warmly: on IMDb it holds 7.4/10 from roughly 1,700 votes, and on TMDB 7.8/10 from about 132 votes, so the smaller TMDB sample rates it slightly higher than the larger IMDb one.
