Chaos;Child The Complete Series

When psychics go psychotic.

Own this pyscho-suspense story from the creators of Steins;Gate and Chaos;HEAd.

Takuru Miyashiro and his newspaper club investigate a string of bizarre deaths that form a hauntingly familiar pattern. Before long, they land squarely in the killer’s crosshairs—but is the person they’re tracking a total psycho or a psychic? Innocent lives are taken, as Takuru and his crew uncover secrets about the world and themselves.

Product Description

From the mind that brought you Death Note comes a schizophrenic anime experience that will make you doubt everything you think you’re seeing. Takumi is an anime-obsessed recluse with a fetish for two-dimensional girls. His cyber secrets land him in real-life trouble after a chat room encounter with the mysterious General leads him to the scene of a gruesome murder. In the blink of an eye, Takumi goes from a caffeine-addicted gamer to a paranoid murder suspect caught up in something called the New Generation madness. Between the police and a gang of girls with giant holographic swords, someone is watching his every move. As the world constructed around him begins to unravel, Takumi will discover that nothing – not even his own life – is what it appears to be. Welcome to Chaos Head.

- Comments: Pretty cool anime. It does get pretty confusing at times. But in a suspenseful way. Which is good since this keeps the viewer guessing and makes them more prone to being surprised; as a predictable anime may be too boring for many. The waifus are nice, too.===========================================================================================================- Analysis: This anime is refreshing with its main character being a major shut-in. Because not every main character is a charismatic guy. Like many people, he finds the safest place is inside his home. To his dismay, danger is always right around the corner. Just like in real life. Title fits the anime well since chaos not only exists around you, but also within one's head/mind.This anime also shows that many people rely on escapism. That is, they often attempt to forget their surroundings by immersing themselves in another world: The virtual world known as the internet. This is very relatable for many viewers. In many ways, the main character may serve as a reflection of some of us.Fortunately, this anime also emphasizes that no matter how "unique" a person is, and how much they may be ostracized from others due to various differences, there is always someone out there that will accept them. This kind of detail is appreciated. Though most of this anime is fairly serious and establishes plenty atmospheres and tones of suspense and drama.- Features: English and Japanese audio with English subtitles. Contains 12 episodes on 2 Blu-rays and 12 on 2 DVDs with a run-time of about 5 hours. Rated TV-14 for violence and some fan-service.===========================================================================================================- Recommendations: Steins;Gate, Psycho-Pass, Code:Breaker, Kampfer, Ben-To, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, Sky Wizards Academy, Blade Dance of the Elementalers, Absolute Duo, and Sekirei.

I would say that this show is for at least older teenagers. The cover blurp would have you think that the reason is violence. BTW, the main on-screen violence is in the first episode and the last two. I believe that the real reason is that it is ostensibly about a delusional, psychotic teenager whose delusions become real. In addition, other people also have delusions, and the delusions have delusions. The result is that in order to properly follow the story, you need to be able to follow what is real and what isn't. Otherwise you will end up being very confused.

The story opens with our hero, a teenage otaku, who is living in a metal shipping crate on the roof of a building. He has a sister who visits him periodically, but he spends most of his time with his delusional anime girl-friend. He periodically goes to school. If he isn't gaming, he is doing on-line chatting with his friends. As the story opens there have been two sets of murders. The pace takes off when someone sends him a pic of a horrific murder. The next day (at night), he witnesses that murder in progress. He sees a girl he doesn't know at the scene covered with blood, with the murder weapons in hand. He runs, and is caught in a surveillance camera, so now the police are searching for him.

The next day at school he finds that he is sitting next to the girl, who says that she has known him all his life. Other girls enter the story, one of which says that the hero himself sent the email with the pic of the murder, and others that say he should awaken. Then the girls start carrying swords. Then the EVIL organization enters the action. Shibuya will never be the same, since it gets pretty well destroyed.

The end result is a psycho-thriller, where you are kept wondering what is real and what isn't. If you liked the psycho-thriller Perfect Blue, I think you will like this one also.

The package comes with four disks, two DVDs and two Blu-Ray. I watched the Blu-Ray and the quality was very good. The main characters were hand drawn and the swords were CGI, which added to the impact of their supposing to be delusions made real. The extras were some trailers, text-less credits, and a song.

Chaos:Head quick summary in dot point. (who doesn't like dot point)

. Very involved story
. Character depth is there, your always trying to work out if its reality or a delusion
. Reminds me a bit of Stiens Gate crossed with the Matrix
. Story doesn't develop as quick as i would have liked
. The idea's of the story make you think which i love however
. The subs are way to quick at times. honestly i think fan subs are done better
. The series is REGION FREE in Australia. which i was so thankful about. go Funimation and MAD House. +1 to you guys
. Dont watch the show when you have a head ache either. trust me it makes it worse
. If your a fan of a very layered story i would recommend the purchase
. Animations are beautiful, especially if you've got a nice HiDef teli. The drawings are crystal sharp
. Box art is great, disc art is great. looks fantastic on my shelf

Hope these can give some indication to what your buying. However there just my thoughts on it.
