I think the anime was very well done. Takanashi Rikka is one of the most unique characters I have seen. There are other sufferers of chuunibyou in anime but her case isn't glorified or used for comic relief. Her "syndrome" exists for a real reason that was created by and creates conflict, which gives Rikka a surprising amount of depth in character. Yuuta is somewhat more stereotypical but is very much a deep and emotional protagonist.

The plot ties in nicely with the theme and is very believable. The anime does a good job of showing how they fell in love and tying in how chuunibyou was an obstacle to their relationship, then something good, and then an obstacle again.

To be honest, I expected a more light-hearted slice-of-life-ish romance story, which is what I have come to expect from KyoAni. But I'm not disappointed that I got something else.
