Meh, this episode felt boring compared to some of the other episodes. Pretty much more of a transition after some of the more tense events and background storytelling. Nono's past was kinda sad.

Another cliffhangerish ending as well.
Wonder if Takuru will get through his message on time.

I personally thought it was a really interesting episode, psychological horror-wise. A lot of very interesting reveals and backstory, especially about Nono, and the end was very interesting too. The next episode looks like it's going to start with a bang, though. Didn't get some small parts but most of it bring a new light to quite a lot of hings that happened before.

Also, Arimura was definitely too cute when she finally "un-freeze" herself. It probably lost a bit of its power due to the pacing but it's still cute nevertheless.
In any case, the pieces start to connect together, at last. What happens next will probably be quite interesting. It looks A LOT more "mind-screwy" than chaos;head though.

What will happen in the next episode seems fairly obvious, and it will probably not be very nice to see, especially after this episode...

And the more this show goes on, the mot one character seems more and more suspicious, imo.

This episode was much slower than the previous episode, which I think is a good thing because that last episode really had me messed up lmao. I liked that they actually gave backstory so that we can understand more about the characters but part of me just wants to see what happens next! The change of pace was definitely necessary for character development but I just want more mindblowing plot twists! Overall, it was a good episode though, just a little slow :P

Look at the end again. There is a gero-kaeru, and https://s22.postimg.org/u1forufc1/sshot_153.jpg this is clearly her. The frog and uniform coupled with the phane and skirt are a dead giveaway.

I'm not sure if my memory serves me right based on Chaos;Head frog phone strap sound, from what I remembered on it, the sound Takuru heard on the video was the sound being created by the frog phone strap when pressed.

Takuro's lack of surprise or any emotion at that at senri/nono's confession is horrible, the fact she even confessed is all is horrible if you know the VN.
Looks like serika is one of the killers cause the sound is just like the frog toy sound.

Okay, Nono actually being Senri came right out of left field, but as usual Takuru didn't seem remotely shocked, concerned or interested in that fact at all. Other than that, if one of the killers is who I think it is, it would certainly explain a lot about their general lack of involvement up to this point.

Ok, the twist was obviously adapted pretty bad, but overall the episode was interesting, albeit a little slow. I like how things are turning now, definitely surprased my expectations of the series, I hope they don't ruin it in the end.

Great episode. The plot twist about the nono was good and i didn't expect that.
Onoe seems to be involved but i don't think she is the killer, maybe she also being mind controlled? or somehow forced to work for the killer.

Anyway, whats bother me is that in the Dates of new gen. madness, someone with a special power (a Gigalomaniac) had to be killed but in the last one (28th) only Yui was killed, so does that mean she was also a Gigalomaniac?

We got some interesting reveals in this episode and a backstory about Nono with a plot twist. After reading some people's comments on here, I think I might be getting an idea of who the killer potentially is. Who knows, I could be wrong.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

The Nono twist was done well imo.
Also while it wasn't completely obvious, I think we all kinda saw that Onoe was a lot more conspicuous throughout the series. The reveal was well done but while I wasn't sure that Onoe was involved, I already had a bunch of suspicions about her.
I mean I most likely just jumped to conclusions but before they established that Taku was a psychic, which seemingly explained the unlocked door at the hotel and the hospital, I was suspicious because both times the door was left unlocked for no reason, and Onoe was present both times.

You should go back to ep 1 and listen intently around the 32~34min mark of the double ep. I think you'll come to see who is most suspicious if you watch again

Good episode.

Did not see that Nono plot twist coming, that was a really nice reveal. To think Nono was actually Senri all this while. We finally got her full backstory as well.

Interesting revelations by Itou, good job at remembering all that man. So we got 2 culprits, the sound at the end was definitely as someone mentioned above similar to the headphones girl hitting the boxing gloves and the frog toy. There was also a shot of someone holding a cellphone with the frog toy and the uniform design also seems to hint at it being Onoe. I guess this makes Onoe a prime suspect for now.

Hope Nono is gonna be okay, whatever she plans on doing that is.

lots of mysteries.
So Nono is Senri with Nono's appearance from the wish. Then who's the pink pyrogrill (or were those all delusions Taku & Arimura had)?
Frog sound, well Onoe's been suspicious since early on, sometimes leaving Takuru at random times.
Itou mention 2 suspects came in the club. Still no idea what gamergrill does.
Nono & Onoe leaving Taku smells like they'll butt heads or cooperate on something.
So even the hotel police, Watabe, Arimura were controlled at some point.
Vomited seals were fake, because the killer was at the school panel and couldn't risk a giga delusion trigger (so a student/teacher).

From the previous episode it was revelaed that the pyrogirl was Riko Haida, which everyone thought was an alias of Senri, but they were actually 2 different people. We can assume someone knows Senri is alive and wants to kill her. I don't think the killer is someone from the club, though, but we have a lot of suspicious characters. I wonder if Uki also knows something.

So Serika is one of the killers most likely, and I'd say Hana is the other. It would make the most sense but we'll see. It's kind of stupid if she would kill the sister because they didn't save Senri because other then seeing her suffer what is Serika's connection with Senri?

Nono was in fact Senri all this time? Did not expect that. No wonder she seemed to be rarely surprised by a lot of things Takuru told her. Real-booting her appearance to change to Nono's is completely plausible within this anime's universe. This actually opens up more possibilities as well.

It is a rather curious thing why Hana is listed as a main character in this anime, even though to date she has not been seen overtly involved in anything significant or noteworthy. Key words: seen, overtly.

After this episode, this makes sense to me now. I'd say she's a main character being deceptively presented like a side character; when she is likely deeply involved in the plot. Probably just as much as Serika is.

Whenever something significant happens, Serika is often conveniently there. Thinking about it, her actions and inputs to Takuru and friends do appear to be more convenient/useful than it should if she were a mere bystander to all of this.

Rather than being someone with really sharp hearing, as she claims she simply "overheard" things, early on I did think of the possibility of her being a psychic as well... maybe she really is one, or even the both of them are. I didn't expect her to be a major suspect as this episode has just revealed.

Both Hana and Serika, right until this episode were always being presented in a subtle, non-threatening manner... almost as if to draw attention away from them...

I am looking forward to what more the next episode might reveal about them.

It's supposed to be only 12 episodes. Maybe that's one of the reasons everything seems so unfocused and uninteresting, but I've heard the VN is very good.

Hmm, Hana is still pretty non-character so far..

It was interesting twist but coupled with horrible infodump. Also, the mystery is just wearing me off, I don't care anymore as there are a lot holes left untold in the anime.

Well, and we all know everything happens just to make MC awake... If I have to guess, Takuru is just delusion of delusion, like wtf protagonist.

Senri seems like a kid of Church of the Divine light woman and N.O.Z.O.M.I.'s employee, kinda deja-vu combination if you ask me.

Really didn't enjoy this lately, characters feels weak and I can't believe he even defended Itou in the hospital. Yeah, blame someone else, that's always the best.
But the real question her is WHY? Why everything is happenning now? I can't see any valid reason for anything that's happening... *sigh*
First Chaos;Head (the game at least) had at least some consistency, this anime.. well, they make it look like they are investigating something but it's ultimately just the path full of plot devices they are treading on.

It's a new "New Generation" series of kills that seems to connect to the previous ones, happening on the same dates. There's someone trying to copy/continue them and probably knows more about the gigalomaniacs and Senri. Obviously experiments are still going as the hospital was still active.... I mean, people are murdered in bizzare ways, it's normal for cases to be investigated lol.

One thing I didn't get it was why did Senri keep going back to the hospital herself YET when both the scientists came to pick her up after the incident, she sort of remember the horrible things that they did to her there and run away. Either that or her mum kind of force her to go by dropping her at the hospital everyday?
