[Anime] Takanashi Rikka: Kai (Chuunibyou movie)

So it turns out this trailer is actually for an upcoming Chuunibyou movie:



There will still be a second season after the movie. Here's some sauce from sankaku:

A Chuunibyou movie has been announced in the form of Takanashi Rikka: Kai – however, it is merely to be a much reviled “season highlights” movie, albeit one refocused on Rikka rather than the token male protagonist of the series.

The trailer, revealing it is due in on the 14th of September.

The production staff admit that “just making a highlights compilation movie wouldn’t be interesting to viewers” and so have promised to introduce “new elements” centred on Rikka’s perspective on events, possibly making the whole thing interesting.
The movie apparently does not have any bearing on the second season, which should follow afterwards.

Cool. I will watch this when it comes out on blu-ray around December/January.

This says it's a recap. (props to oda)

[17:45:30] Anton: I did regonize some scenes from the series

Shame it's just a season highlights movie but you've gotta take what comes.

Season re-cap.
Great...

I guess I'll watch it, but I would have been more excited for something rather than just a re-cap.

Like Medzy said im not expecting anything amazing, but ill still watch it.

I'm actually looking forward to it, I don't know what you're all upset about. It's not just a re-cap, also the scenes it does show again I can't wait to see again. It's a series I would want to re-watch anyway. Obviously a movie with original content would have been better though.

Like yuri-san said.

I just recently finished the first season awhile back and thought it was a good series worth rewatching because all wasn't what it seemed at first, but it had a set of drama to go along with it. Who knows, we may even get stuff we didn't get the first time around to pull us into the series more, so yeah, I say to bring it on.

It's like the rebuild series.

Same story with a few tweaks. New (hopefully) improved animation (not implying the animation was bad).

Had to quote it and make it big for people who clearly hadn't read the OP.

2nd teaser:

Still haven't watched the show yet.

FULL TRAILER IS OUT



HHHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

ANN
Kyoto Animation began streaming the full trailer for the Takanashi Rikka †¢ Kai ~Gekijō-ban ChÅ«nibyō demo Koi ga Shitai!~ (ChÅ«nibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! the Movie: Rikka Takanashi's Revision) film on Saturday. The trailer features the song "-Across the line-" by Maaya Uchida, the voice actress of series heroine Rikka. The trailer begins tongue-in-cheek with "Full-Armor Rikka launching."

The film will open in Japan on September 14 with a brand-new "Lite" anime extra.

According to the television anime's director Tatsuya Ishihara, the film will be a compilation of the first television season — only as seen from the character Rikka's eyes and recontructed with new elements to make it interesting for the audience. The staff and cast from the first season are returning for this film. Rikka (as voiced by Maaya Uchida) will perform the opening theme song, while Rikka, Shinka Nibutani (Chinatsu Akasaki), Kumin Tsuyuri (Azumi Asakura), and Sanae Dekomori (Sumire Uesaka) will perform the ending theme "Secret Survivor" as Black Raison d'être.

I think I want to see this now. Recaps aren't my thing but if it's different enough then hell yeah. Plus I loved this series. Also, what are those sticker things...I want one.

I'm looking forward to this. It was a great series I wouldn't mind rewatching anyway, so the fact that it's a recap movie is fine by me, especially with the differences (Rikka's perspective, possible new content). Also, there was something about a second season coming after this in the original post, right? I'd like to hear more about that (source/s, info, etc.).

Wow I'm actually looking forward to this, I really enjoyed the first season since it was really cute and emotional. Can't wait to see this when it comes out.

I really hope they don't mess this up...

I hope they add in a real Kiss scene and not just tease about it, but they wont.
