''Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take on Me'' (Japanese: 映画 中二病でも恋がしたい！ -Take On Me-, Hepburn: Eiga Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! Teiku on mī) is a 2018 Japanese anime romantic comedy film based on Torako's light novel series Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. The film is directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and animated by Kyoto Animation. It premiered in Japan on January 6, 2018, and has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks and Madman Entertainment.

Plot
Although already a third-year high school student, Rikka Takanashi remains a chuunibyou—a "disease" that causes people to fantasize about themselves and their surroundings. Her relationship with Yuuta Togashi has also gone unchanged for the past six months, and with entrance exams right around the corner, both of them strive to enroll at the same college. However, Tooka—Rikka's elder sister—decides to take Rikka to Italy as she has found a stable job there. This unforeseen turn of events causes a commotion between the couple as neither of them want to be separated from each other. Desperate for ideas, they seek assistance from their friends, and after a brief conversation, they come up with a plan—to elope.

 * 8) It made subtle references of Tamako Market, Sound! Euphonium, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Clannad, which was made by Kyoto Animation.
