Started off okay but ended up just as bad as C;H and O;N. Not really surprising though given the episode count. 4/10 glorified VN advertisement.

Oh yeah, Serika didn't look like she was at the hospital, Agree with what you said about her.
I think only Serika and Takuru fell into a coma, the others seemed to be portrayed as merely just opening their eyes for a second before falling asleep again. I don't know, probably some sort of symbolism that they sensed what happened with Takuru or something. Mio was also unaffected by these events even though she was involved in the case.
That could also work, perhaps they just felt 'something' change, as Takuru essentially removed a person from their lives by making Serika a normal girl, who (I assume) is not part of their friendship circle in this reality. I'd buy into them feeling something in their life disappearing, but not knowing what to make of that feeling.

What a terrible show. How many times do you need to throw away your sword in the span of 15 minutes? He throws his Di-sword into the seats like 4 times lol. This is the most chuuni-tastic story ever.

I told myself after Chaos Dragon, Big Order, and Taboo Tattoo I wouldn't watch something this crappy again but dammit I let it happen again.

Mixed feelings with the ending. Nice to know what did Takuru wish and Serika's real plans. But I'm pissed that it's just it, I've been waiting if somehow , Takuru of C;H would be involved at the ending. At least it make sense that Takuru is the master of the chaos, just like Takuru of C;H. And the ending was also confusing because it ssems like its been rushed and forced to end like this. Well, good start, though it ended not that bad but average for me.

Going to wait for the true ending, silent sky, it seems like it will clarify things or might be an alternate ending.

As a big fan for this anime
I got no idea what just happened and it could have better tho , they could just add Takuru from Chaos;Head as a villain or anything just to get him involved
and it felt empty
and I even got confused if it was Takuru or Takeru in the last scene xD
and waiting for Silent Sky

So all this shit happened because Takuru was bored with his life and wanted some exciting shit to do? Unexpected but dumb. And Sakuma just being evil because its "fun", just the worst and lamest kind of villain.

I did get some feels tho when Takuru was about to erase Serika's memories to make her a normal girl. And then when she wakes up crying hit me for some reason. The music was good in that scene.

Still so many things went unexplained and the Takuru was a shit protagonist. So I'll go with a 5/10 for this. Im curious to how the OVA will end.

Seems like not many people understand how the Chaos series works. @willardhwright explanation is on point, the chaos series tries to be as subtle as possible about their plot and let the audience figure out the information and put the pieces together, hence the beauty of the chaos series.

I understand why the chaos series looks very bad to other people, because people are used to the Conan Detective "the killer is XX" and then they proceed to explain everything. Chaos series doesn't do that and anyone who watches it doesn't want to explore their mind and think.

Aside from the rushing, overall, its a great anime. I hope the vn get patched in the near future.

Rushed presentation of a complex plot much worse than acca.
After some time, most major pieces finally mesh.

Serika wound caused by Maddoc. Senri was framed, but later mc framed. Here she's already in consented mindcontrol.
Taku uses power of (imaginary) friendship to stay sane, break free from mindcontrol, and plan his first attack by reconstructing the stage.
Excaliburrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taku reverse mindcontrols doc first, so he's waving dsword blindly, before Taku even rises. Then awkward real fight starts.
Cross swords minshares Serika secrets (just like Senri fight before). She's very smart & methodic, sasuga mindreader. 4 lies for doc to mindcontrol on her, to deal with Arimura & Mio. She planned all new gen murders, framed Taku as murderer just like Tamumi, due to his psychology, the most interesting part of the show. He's an unlikeable scum, wants in on the action, thinks he's "special", wants to play the hero & solve cases. His psychology, along with wanting something worthwhile, is his wish that made Serika. so she makes a thrilling game by framing Taku as killer then he solves it, turning hero at last minute (her plan, not doc's). Doc was the real murderer, using the mindcontrol device to commit "suicides".

But her plan failed.
Serika: i dun wanna be a stupid normie pleb!
Taku: slices some giga magic and reboot her into a normal girl, no more living for Taku's Conan fantasy.

Mass coma in ep2, along with headaches, think it happens to kids who might get giga powers. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1585637&show=10

After Taku did some huge Serika reboot, somehow effect's similar to Shibuya quake. So the kids, but no adults, went into coma... i think. Then Serika & Taku wake up long after the arrest.

I understand the hate for Chaos;Head.
I don't understand the hate for Chaos;Child.

I feel like this entire series reinvigorated a franchise I've spent years saying is the worst thing to ever happen to anime.

Apart from a couple pacing issues, I feel like this show was executed tremendously well for a VN adaptation and would easily watch it again.

Overall hard to rate. I guess the source material was good, but the adaptation was kinda messed up.

Hm, it was pretty average I'd say. I got some decent entertainment out of this, but the ending was way too rushed.

I have to wonder why there are so many people saying the ending "ruined" the anime. It wasn't a good ending, but I felt like the foundations for the plot twists were already put into place. Some people are saying that the motivations were bad but they do make a degree of sense in context.

First we'll start with Takuru's wish. It's well in line with his established character from the flash backs. Consider how Takuru idolized Takumi from Chaos;Head, and add that to his state of mind when he real-booted Serika. Takuru was always obsessing over the New Generation Madness, it's not that big a leap for Serika to try and recreate that situation for him.

Another thing is Serika. It's clear that because of the way she was made, her thought processes don't work the way normal people's do. For a normal person the idea of murdering all those people just to set something up is insane, but she's not a normal person. She LITERALLY only cares about her purpose and has no doubts in her mind. She even said that she didn't care about others in her last plea to Takuru.

I could pretty much guess at what Serika's purpose was when she clashed with Senri and the mind transfer occurred. I mean Senri literally asks "Is that REALLY what Takuru wants?" It doesn't get any clearer than that.

There was also an element I thought was pretty tragic in the end. The whole incident was caused by the massive disconnect between what Serika thought she knew about Takuru, and how he really felt. Even Serika's mind reading power wasn't enough to bridge the gap because of how her own messed up thoughts framed everything she read. Serika truly believed Takuru was some kind of super special person, when in the end he was closer to being a normal guy "just the same" as the crowd.

Dismissing the whole thing is "lol guy just wanted to be special" is missing the entire context of the show. We're not dealing with normal people with normal ways of thinking. I felt as if the show went pretty far out of it's way to try and impress this upon the viewers, but apparently it didn't try hard enough.

How high can the viewers expect from this 12 episodes anime considering that the VN is very long? Of course some part of the plot is going to be left out, it's happen to all anime that came from similar source (vn/manga/ln).

Besides, it's obvious the reason this anime came out in the first place is to promote the vn. fan service and all.

And yeah, some character aren't developed very well, then again its because there isn't enough episode to cover. But you cant just eliminate those characters, they are part of the story.

And no, the interesting part of the chaos series is the chaos plot linearity.

I might say even though I rated the show just passable but this is the 2nd science-fiction adventure series other than Steins;Gate that I managed to watch finish. Actually I dropped all the science-fiction adventure shows at least once even for Steins;Gate.. but Steins;Gate is definitely one of the best of the best out there under time travel genre.

At the start I was following the story until midway or somewhere I just became totally lost and due to uninteresting characters.

Some episodes it felt like I missed a episode until I go to previous episode and find out I did not. The ending, -WTF , it looked like garbage as if someone left it in a rush, half finished.

Though it is average as some scenes and episodes were a bit of entertaining

Almost as good as Chaos;Head but I don't really like the conclusion about Takuru wanted something to do. Chaos;Head was more mind blowing about Takumi was actually a delusion himself.

I don't really understand about the conversation between the detective and fat female(forgot which episode), they said they did not know what Uki power was but relieved to know that she need another person to present to activate her power.
Aren't all gigalomaniacs like that? To make delusion to real, you need another person to perceive the same thing right? That's why Takuru brought a hobo to open the room.

While at the same topic. At the last episode when Takuru threw something to check if there's someone there, was he already been mind controlled then?

Most people are casual watcher, that's why when they watch they don't want to 'think'.
I think 5pb. x Nitro+ games tend not to translate well into short anime, they need to make it at least 20+ episodes like Steins;Gate. Occultic;Nine and Chaos;Head also got this problem, very little explanation and rushing.

About Chaos;Head, I also did not really get about it until I played the game. The story is more fit in VN, it really made me like I was really in the VN. Those charms are lost in the anime, in the anime the story keeps moving on with little time for the watcher to think about previous events.

What a terrible ending... It was too rushed and even without talking about the pacing, I don't understand why Serika attacked him after getting up.

Chaos;child was worse than Chaos;Head. At least in Chaos;Head, there was suspense about whether or not the MC was the killer. Here, there was nothing but murder.
I'm disappointed because I like Chaos;Head.

Thankfully, the opening was great.

Another anime that disappoints me. Not for any objective reason, but for how fucked up and disgusting the plot is. One betrayal after another. They could have kept the horror/gore fanservice in illusions. I saw the final plot twist coming. It was implicit. So at that point I was only interested in the outcome. Well... You waste your esper powers to create a disgusting being and then you waste them again to give that being a normal life. Oh, and the "true ending" OVA will just continue this madness, giving the whole previous plot no meaning. I'm guessing that Taku also erased Yui from everybody's memories. O;N and C;C went the path of killing the most innocent loli in the cast and then not give a fuck about it. At least S;G VN true ending made a difference. It was the difference between giving up and fighting for the ones you care. Damn, It's getting too sweet here. I just hate unnecessary deaths in anime, but I guess time traveling is more effective than being able to change reality with your mind.

The first five episodes were a step up from chaos head, and then 6 came along and with it the show somehow fell in line with how meh head was. I don't even think with more episodes i would have much of an opinion change either, the amount of plot turns in the final few episodes was still too many even for a 24 ep show. A shame though, it'd be cool for some of the other semi colon adaptions besides steins;gate to be at the very least, worth the watch. So far only Robotics notes has come the closest (to me at least)

Well... If u ask me, I kinda liked the series as a whole. The last episode is kinda hard to understand if u watched without the intent to actually understand, much harder if u did'nt even want to try, but its actually pretty emotional. Takuru might have stayed the Psychopath Serial Killer but real-booting Serika into a normal girl and letting her have a chance to live a normal life as a "Punishment" for himself makes him noble. So in my book, the MC was great, loved the plot, 8/10... Would've got a 9/10 if it had more obvious harem scenes, since it is a harem-tagged anime, afterall...

That's a good point. There is the psychic aspect of their powers (mind control, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, mind reading), which is capable of being used outside of the delusional power which requires a catalyst (aka another person) to force the delusion upon for it to become reality.

Honestly, if you've read it, the whole show gets better, because it actually does a good job adapting some scenes, but does a terrible job at explaining things because of how rushed it is.

Only if it had more episodes...
