These are the offcuts KyoAni left on the floor, and they land exactly like the second season's best downtime: no plot, no stakes, just the cast being idiots at close range. Seven shorts of Rikka committing to the Wicked Eye bit with total sincerity, Dekomori swinging those twin-tails like siege weapons, and Nibutani trying to keep her Mori Summer past buried under a perfect student-council smile. Kumin naps. Satone crashes the frame as Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII. Yuuta suffers, which is his actual job. There's no arc here and that's the point, because Ren was always strongest when it stopped trying to be about anything and just let Takanashi be insufferable in a way you'd defend to strangers. Watch these after the season proper, when you're not ready to let the Far Eastern Magic Napping Society go yet.

Rikka Takanashi and her friends keep hanging out across seven short comedy episodes, bundled with the Blu-ray and DVD release of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren. The shorts are built around playful games and aimless conversation, and they share trivial but amusing facts about the cast, including what Sanae Dekomori keeps tucked inside her hair buns.
