I opened a discussion last time regarding this Eighth Grader Syndrome or Chunibyou. After watching the last episode of the same anime, I think the ending summary is what I believe true:
People always say they feel awkward about having eighth-grader syndrome.
They say that they don't want to talk about it, that they want to forget about it for good.
But does that really get rid of our crazy old selves and their wild fantasies...
Back when we thought we were special, when we thought something greater watched over us?
People sometimes tell lies, imaging a completely different fantasy world, dream about the distant future, or invent a lover's relationship that only exists inside their heads.
This process repeats from the day we are born until the day we die, forever and ever.
It is depressing...
It is shameful...
But it is dear to us.
It is an illness known as self-consciousness.
It is something we must all face known as "ourselves".
Indeed we carry our eighth-grader syndrome throughout all of our lives.
Thou as it states, it is quite embarrassing for most of us at this age, passing high school then college and up to a point of having a family, we still carry these dreams of being special and accepted by society as that special person that any one can believe in as a hero, as a friend, as a lover, as a savior...
I would admit and like Josh said, I'd still act like a kid and do poses like a "Kamen Rider" especially when wearing my kabuto zecter. We all had dreams once, embarrassing as it may be, and it's not bad to carry them as for once it made you feel special. People who had this Chunibyou is for me, at this point, special. They hold the greatest gift that God has given, and that is the power to dream. And honestly sometimes, it's not bad to sometimes act or dream of this fantasies as this what makes you, YOU.
Later!
