This one won’t be gone in a day or two.

Earlier today, Sentai Filmworks announced that they licensed Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take on Me. As of press time, no futher details have been announced.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions – Take On Me debuted in Japanese theaters on January 6.

Tatsuya Ishihara (Sound! Euphonium, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) returned to the director’s chair for the project at Kyoto Animation, with Kazumi Ikeda (Clannad After Story, Myriad Colors Phantom World) reprising her role as character designer. Jukki Hanada (Love Live! School Idol Project, No Game, No Life) wrote the feature’s screenplay.

ZAQ handled the film’s theme song, while Nijine scored the soundtrack.
