Growing up is a difficult process, and there are always times when one feels embarrassed and regrets a past decision. It is possible to wonder what exactly signifies the entry into adulthood-living on one's own or perhaps adhering to social norms and conforming to them. So, are those who stick to their childhood passions not fully matured adults? Maybe. Is there a problem with that, though? It's challenging to determine.
In Japanese online culture, there is an odd phrase that is utilized. "Chuunibyou" (literally, "Eighth-Grade Syndrome") describes mature people who have a ridiculous self-made identity. When you were a kid, can you recall ever being attracted to a TV character and pretending to be able to do superhuman things in real life? A chuunibyou is an adolescent or adult version of that, but to the point where their entire way of life is defined by their imaginary character. It would be embarrassing to act in this manner in public, and getting over such a past would be even more embarrassing.
An emotive soundtrack is a necessary component of every good love story, and Chuu2-Byo's music does not let you down. Both the serious and humorous moments have appropriate music, and everytime a certain piano piece is played, it never fails to get you a little teary-eyed. Not to mention the amusing and unforgettable opening and closing scenes, these songs will probably stay stuck in your mind for a long time. Having said that, it's always a little funny in the second part of the show when the lively theme music comes on right after a serious scene. It accurately captures the difference between the two parts.
