Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions is one of the most popular rom-com anime out there.
I suppose most of the people have either watched it or at least heard about it. But, we are not here to discuss whether peeps have watched this anime or not, are we? We are here to discuss the watch order of this anime.
Table of Contents
What is a watch order? Well! There are two types of watch orders. Firstly, there is the order in which the anime was originally released. This creates a lot of trouble for new anime watchers.
On the other hand, there is the chronological order in which the fans suggest you watch the anime. This saves a lot of time, trust me!!
First, we will talk about the release order of this anime.
The title of the anime is too long, so I’ll be using Chunibyo as a shortcut.

Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions Seasons Release Order
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions Season 1
The first season of this anime was released in 2012. This anime follows the story of a teenage girl named Rika and a boy named Yuuta Togashi. Rika suffers from a condition known as Chunibyo. In this condition, a person thinks himself/herself to be someone special, like he/she has supernatural abilities.
Yuuta already suffered from this condition and knows how embarrassing it is. So, he decides to save Rika from this humiliation. This marks the beginning of Rika and Yuuta’s love story.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions Season 2
The second season of this anime was released in 2014. It was animated by the same studio—Kyoto Animation.
The two main characters of this show, Rika and Yuuta, are officially a couple now. So, they decided to live together as Yuuta can keep a better eye on Rika this way. However, things are getting even more difficult. You guys might not know but, having a Chuuni girlfriend is really tough and takes a lot out of you.
To make things even more worse, another Chunibyo girl named Satone Shichimiya comes into their lives. How will Yuuta handle it? Ahhhh! I can’t even imagine this.
Love, Chunibyo, And Other Delusions Movies Release Order
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Rikka Version
This is the first movie of this franchise. It was released in 2013 and was animated by Kyoto Animation. Well! The first season of this anime was from Yuuta’s perspective and this movie covers almost all the events from Rikka’s perspective.
I would definitely recommend this movie if you want to see two sides of a story. There are also some new things as this movie is from Rikka’s perspective. Some peeps might find it a bit boring, but still, if you want a quick recap of season 1, I’d suggest you watch it.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Take Me On
The second movie of this franchise was released quite recently in 2018. Even though most people did not like the 2nd season of this anime, this movie was received pretty well by fans.
The story continues as both Rikka and Yuuta are in their 3rd year of high school and wish to get enrolled in the same college. However, things take quite a turn as Rikka’s elder sister decides to take her to Italy where she gets a job. Now, what will they do? They don’t want to get separated from each other.
After a huge discussion, they decided to travel across Japan in order to prevent Rikka’s transfer to Italy. Will they succeed?
Love, Chunibyo, And Other Delusions ONA’s Release Order
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Chuni Shorts
This ONA was released in 2012. Like other series and movies of this franchise, this ONA was also animated by Kyoto Animation. However, it was released on Youtube. This ONA consists of 6 episodes.
Each episode is unique and equally enjoyable. You would definitely enjoy this ONA. If you ask me to describe it in 3 words, I would say hilarious, cute, and phenomenal.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Heart Throb Lite
The second ONA of this franchise was released after season 2 in 2014. As the second season was considered a failure, most people didn’t even bother to watch this ONA. It was also released on Kyoto Animation’s official youtube channel.
This ONA specifically features stories of side characters like Sophia, Nibutani, and of course, Dakemori Mori. We get to see a lot more about the past of Dakemori Mori and other characters. The comedy in this one is just insane.
Love, Chunibyo, And Other Delusions Special’s Release Order
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Sparkling… Slapstick Noel
This is the first special of this franchise. It was released in June 2013. This special follows the story of Rikka Takanashi and Yuuta Togashi as they started dating. As both of them are pretty shy, they have no idea how to progress in this new relationship. For this purpose, Rikka seeks advice from their class representative, Shinka Nibutani.
Nibutani advises her to arrange a Christmas party. A lot of events take place during the party and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Depth of Field
Most peeps might find this special kinda weird. But, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was released right after the first season in 2012.
The story follows as the world is entirely destroyed and everyone is dead. Well! The main theme of this special is “Mechha”. There is a huge fight between Rikka and Deko. The animation is just too smooth. You’ll definitely love it.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Heart Throb Special
This one is released after the 2nd season. This special follows short stories of Rikka and her friends. If you are huge fans of this franchise, you’ll definitely love it. As usual, this anime is adapted by the famous Kyoto Animation.
Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions! Heart Throb- The Rikka Wars
This special was released after the 2nd season and it follows the story of Rikka as she doubts Yuuta. Actually, Yuuta received a flash drive from Makoto Isshiki and someone saw him.
The flash drive actually contained the footage of an idol Yuuta liked in Middle school. A lot of things happened and Yuuta had to apologize. I’m sure you’ll love this special.

Have You Watched The Series? The Movies?
I’ve tried my best to create a great Watch Order Guide for you. This is a very sensitive topic for some people. Some peeps just can’t watch an anime without a proper watch order.
You can take the famous anime “Steins;Gate” as an example. The storyline of this anime is quite complex and you cannot watch it properly without a watch order guide. I really hope you like this blog. Peace!!!!!
