Animatsu Entertainment picked up the UK rights for the anime series Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb with Manga Entertainment UK set to distribute in the region for them back in May of this year and had set plans originally for an August 29th, 2016 release on separate DVD and Blu-ray editions. That got delayed in late June fo a December 26th, 2016 release date, which is also when the show got rated as 15 by the BBFC. Now, retailers are listing a new date for it from fans with December 19th, 2016 set for it, making sure you get to spend the holidays with the cast.
Sentai Filmworks released this on DVD-only back in August 2015 due to licensor hold-back of the Blu-ray rights, but they have their Blu-ray edition now scheduled for a December 13th, 2016 release in North America.
Plot concept: Yuta Togashi thought he had problems dealing with one delusional girlfriend in the person of Rikka Takanashi, but now things are about to go totally insane as his former “one true soul mate” from when he was a chuni himself returns with a vengeance! So how bad is Satone Shichimiya’s re-entry into Togashi’s chuni-verse likely to be? Let’s just say that she’s so epically off the deep end of the chuni-scale that she prefers to use the name Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII and that she’ll joyfully tear Togashi’s real world to pieces in order to get him back in her imaginary one!
Some girls just want to have fun and some want to break down the walls between their boyfriends and themselves. But when a girl’s idea of fun is breaking down the wall between their presumed boyfriend and reality, retreating into a fantasy world might just be Togashi’s best option. Especially since Satone knows where ALL the skeletons from his past are buried. Toss Rikka’s equally delusional friend Sanae into the mix and girl-crazy begins to take on a whole new meaning!
