Lol. I've been away for days and suddenly chuuni discussion, lol

It's not like Chuuni are something exclusive to Japan nor limited to anime, for example most people at one point played mock Jedi fight or Hogwards (if you're 20's kids), chuuni (the social phenomenon) refering to people who simply doesn't graduate from that around the age they're expected to be mature. Japan simply had the right environment and culture for something like that.

IMO the Chuuni as genre are hardly a thing in a sense that most non-seinen Manga/Anime (even Seinen included) offer something are build on something that chuuni-worthy. For example Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Ajin etc. However as I said  I don't really think it's a genre as much as it's a social phenomenon to refer to something IRL being mistaken and settled as genre.

BTW most genre that are considered chuuniworthy have similar pattern, that is somehow the fiction can be acted as if it's real in the real world. In that sense TM works are Chuuniworthy, from mystic eyes, the conspiracy of church, dead apostles to the throne of Heroes, even the fan translated Noble Phantasm (Hou-gu) are common name to refer to some weapon in other works but that's that. But I won't deny that rule of cool had to be applied to something like this to understand the original meaning.. for example I absolutely loathe JoJo official localization name of Stand, like Killer Queen become Deadly Queen or Crazy Diamond become Shinning Diamond J.U.S.T.W.H.Y.?

@Dey : BTW still playing Shadowverse?? I need your help in some collusion...
