Synopsis

Throughout Shibuya, a series of murders dubbed the "New Generation Madness" gained widespread attention As these crimes gained infamy, they became a hot topic of discussion among the people of the area. Nonetheless, these "New Gen" murders do not capture the interest of Takumi Nishijou, a high school otaku who frequently experiences delusions and feels that he is constantly being watched.

Having no concern for the real world, Takumi spends his time playing online games and watching anime. However, his ordinary life is disrupted when he receives a horrifying image of a man staked to a wall from a user named Shogun. After calming himself at an internet cafe, Takumi sees the exact same murder scene as the image portrayed happen right before his eyes, along with a pink-haired girl covered in blood calling out his name.

Conflicted with the nature of reality, Takumi finds it difficult to judge where to place his trust as he gets caught up in the "New Gen" murders, believing that the murderer is out to get him.

I must say I was not ready for how good this anime truly was... let me explain. For those of you who don't know this is 1 of 6 in a series called Science Adventure which also includes properties like Steins; Gate. Since I was a big fan of that series I went into this series with high hopes and although it was completely different I was not disappointed.

to be frank, C;H had the real potential of becoming a masterpiece, and it kinda did.. or did it?

i’m a massive SciAdv fan, played all the visual novels and slowly but steadily recovering them all, therefore i rate my knowledge as “fair”.

As several other reviews stated, the anime adaptation and the visual novel don’t really match up like in other chapters of the series, and it’s undeniably true.
although the storyline in the original visual novel was damn near perfectly paced, this anime adaptation suffered from the “too much in too little time” syndrome, a disease that sadly affects way too many titles, pressing a 50 ...

The original carrier of the SciAdv anime curse... when compared to the source material, this anime is a crime.

CHAOS;HEAD is an absolutely legendary classic psychological horror/thriller about a borderline schizophrenic incel NEET slowly being driven to absolute madness as he is gangstalked by a serial killer. Over the course of the story, he meets other disturbed people with delusions just like his own, and he tries to rely on them for protection, only realizing that in the end, he needed to be able to stand up for himself. The anime, however, tries to cram a visual novel about the length of STEINS;GATE (yes, they are ...
