The Normanic Vault: Unboxing [US]: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

Sentai Filmworks' second special edition has arrived a month early and it's one nice looking set. Here's a good overview of what the set has to offer!

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! is an adaptation based on the light novel of the same name and animated by none other than Kyoto Animation. The show has been around for quite some time but due to some restrictions the English release was postponed for a while. In fact the first season was originally going to be subtitle only (for Blu-ray and DVD) back in May 2014 but the sudden outcry for an English dub has convinced Sentai and therefore decided to delay the Blu-ray release in return for a special set. That special set has finally arrived.

This Collector's Edition contains the first season (episodes 1-12 with the OVA) on Blu-ray and DVD in addition to a bunch of physical goodies including an artbook, keychain, postcards and an eye-patch. A list of what the set has to offer are listed below. As for the Blu-ray, the subtitles are unlockable (quite a surprise given this is a TBS show) and due to a strange country region check the European PlayStations will be compatible with this show.

Plot Synopsis (via Back cover):

Yuta has a problem. As one of the thousands of Japanese students afflicted with "chunibyo," a state where they're so desperate to stand out that they've literally convinced themselves that they have secret knowledge and hidden powers, Yuta spent most of his middle school years living in a complete fantasy world. But that's not his major problem now, as with a lot of work and effort, he's finally managing to overcome his delusions to the point where thinks he's ready to start high school with all his cards in order. No, his BIG problem is the girl he first encounters climbing on his balcony.

It seems that his own efforts to rid himself of his chunibyo have attracted the attentions of another sufferer, and she's decided that this makes him her soul mate. And since Rikka's just moved in upstairs, now he's being sucked into her fantasy world! Can a formerly wild and crazy guy handle being the focus of a completely delusional girl? Or will his own chunibyo return with a vengeance?
