Posted on the official Twitter account for the anime adaptation of the light novels by Torako and illustrated by Nozomi Ousaka, Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!) a mysterious message was shared that could be a hint that there's an important announcement coming soon for the franchise.
The short message writes: «Opportunity is knocking at the door. When the time comes, the gates to “celebrate” will open.». The message might seem like nonsense, but the word "celebration" is key to the franchise, especially this year. It turns out that next October will be ten years since the anime adaptation premiered in Japan. Could it be that you have prepared something?
Torako and Nozomi Ousaka began publishing the light novels through the publisher KA Esuma Bunko in June 2011, and they finished it in December 2017 with just four volumes. The work inspired a two-season anime adaptation produced by the studios Kyoto animation and premiered in Autumn-2012 (October-December) and Winter 2014 (January-March)with twelve episodes each.
The adaptation ended with the production of the film Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Movie: Take on me, released in theaters in Japan in January 2018. Regarding the adaptation, the two seasons were imprecisely based on the first two volumes of the original light novels due to the studios Kyoto animation they usually adapt the novels of their publishing label at will.
