To start off, as the tags suggest, this movie is romance. It is also the sequel so don’t watch it first. The movie beautifully wraps up the storyline in an elegant lovey dovey way. If you don’t like clichès though don’t watch this movie. There are many scattered throughout including at the end—before the credits roll. There is also about a minute post credits.  From the signing of their contract, the relationship between the tyrant eye and dark flame master was not normal. They made it unique and their own not caring what others thought. This movie continued to show the uniqueness in all its glory. It not only showed the uniqueness of the couple but all of the other characters as well. That is what this anime does: it makes each character unique with their own special quarks and one big one that draws them all together. The arguing still continues between the two who always argue, for example, as they work together to “capture” the couple. Very few anime’s have such defined characters with  unique differences that draw them together such as chuunibiyo syndrome. For tyrant eye it also showed her struggle as a senior if she should continue or become just Rikka and if she would be accepted if she changes. Yuuta also has to accept her for who she is and embrace the past he tried hard to forget.  For the story, I love how they made a whole story out of not wanted to be separated. They went on a trip around the country. It made me think of a date or honeymoon. They even slept next to each other though in different beds. The whole “chase” was perfect for the series, but I would have hoped that tthere would be more making up between deki and tyrant eye. Speaking of her, I would want to see what the school is like it’s the new student council in office. The story was self contained yet built on all that transpired beforehand at the same time.  The animation showed so many different places in Japan and was able to show how they are all different and the qualities of each. It also showed the characters in normal attire and has their chuubiyno switch ins. My favorite though was the cool plane! They even got a close up of its landing gear retracting and take off. It looked like there was a party going on inside. I also though the weapon scene was funny. I know in US if you said in an airport that you had a weapon, it would be a lot worse than what actually happened. Atop he airport, the character details could still be made out even with giant plane vs “trash” small people.  For the sound, I am docking 0.01 points for one specific thing During the scene on the boat they were using the word 大好き (lit. Big like) instead of 愛/愛して. Due to the nature of the scene and the special moment, I would have liked the latter to really show the commitment of true love although it is still just a small thing. The sound also gets huh marks because I love the phrases they use to enter combat and their names and powers and contracts. Also I hope the clone really does have such a grandiose name.  As a final remark, though unlikely, I hope they continue and show their life together through marriage and starting a family and being on their own/in college kind of like Clannad After Story.5

Exactly what we can expect of the anime, this movie is exactly what the anime is, it kind of remind me of the lasts episode of Toradora. Humerous scene are placed at the right moment and they dont take too much place in the movie.With them we are able to release the tension created in the second part of it, excellent part because we can see how Rika's mind evolve, a mind fighting for and against herself. The ending was unexpected, i don't have the words to describe it except it's an ending to close the book of two teenagers becoming adults.
