| I loath him so much that it might be hard for me to continue past episode one. I'll update here as I go on about how much I hate him. If he turns out awesome, them I am so sorry for my premature reaction. However this show seems formulaic enough (at least in character types) that I doubt there will be any pleasant surprises when it comes to him specifically. Anyone else agree or am I just crazy? |
| I'm currently playing the game. From what I see, he appears to be extremely paranoid. It's definitely a necessity because he's the guy setting the mood. As he gets more and more paranoid, the creepier and creepier the atmosphere gets. He's pathetically weak, but he's doing a good job at it. |
 |
| I love hikkikomoris Ahaha~ |
 |
| So, do you hate the characters that remind you of yourself? [/irony] He gets better after he gets his di-sword, though that makes him less interesting and more like any other standard main character. For now, enjoy your paranoid pile of nerves. |

| 要らない。もうあれは要らない。 血の赤も、骨の白も、焼け爛れる肉の黒も腹から噴き出る臓腑の灰も。 銃剣の煌き弾丸のメタル。軋む戦車の振動に塹壕の饐えた匂い。 |
| Main character is my hero and what I aspire to be. |
 |
| It is easier to like him in the game than in the anime because you can see all his thoughts in the game and it makes him a little easier to understand. and I have to say that I agree with him a lot of times.. |
| I'm set after reading the first post. If i can stomach the MC of Kurogane no Linebarrels, this series should be a walk in park then..i hope. *goes to TT* |
SingerOfW said: So, do you hate the characters that remind you of yourself? Yeah, no. Darkii said: If you hate him so much then don't watch it fag. it's called plot, fag. Sometimes a horrible main character adds to the plot, especially if by the end you come to understand and even like them. and yes, I know he's paranoid; and no, he's not that hard to understand. Just starting a little old discussion of the main character, relax. Maybe my mind will change, maybe not. If you don't want to have a discussion about the anime then get the fuck out of this subboard :D |
| I don't hate him, he makes the story more interesting. I'd rather have a messed up character like him rather than some generic character that has been done to death a million times. |
 |
| I have to agree with selective_yellow on this one. I don't like this guy either. I just watched episode two and all that came to mind was what they did to Shiki in the "Tsukihime" anime... which doesn't exist btw. Actually, this whole series is reminding me of that dreaded anime. Especially the part in episode two I think it's because of both the Tsukihime-like story and the main character that's starting to turn me away from this series. I'll watch one more episode and if it still goes like this I'm dropping it. Much better shows are out there that are not imitating good Doujin games. |
 |
| Oh yeah, dude, obviously they're intentionally ripping off Tsukihime, seeing as it's pretty much king of originality right |

| I don't know if I "hate" him. He's not an abomination like Ito Makoto (School Days) - he's just abnormal. Can't say anything abut mentally retarded people... and for the record, he's not a "funny hikky" like Satou (NHK); his delusional brain is fakked upside down. |

Neverender said: I can practically list the Tsukihime rip-offs in this series. That's horrible. You have your spoofs, then you have this. There's a pretty big difference. That blonde girl is kind of like Arcueid when you think about it. And Taku has a friend I call Arihiko because he acts similar, even though the two characters look different. It's wrong lol.Oh yeah, dude, obviously they're intentionally ripping off Tsukihime, seeing as it's pretty much king of originality right |

| I don't hate him (yet), but he does annoy the shit out of me. |

There's always something unique and original being thought up of, and who knows; ten years down the road both "Tsukihime" and "Chaos;Head" would be cliche... heck it kinda is now. And yes, I see elements of many different series in other anime too, but so many of one in just a single episode? It's too obvious for someone who knows about the Tsukihime game. I don't think I have seen such an annoying main character before, not if you include the main girl character in "Kare Kano". His voice drives me nuts all by itself. |
|
| Well, as much as this guy annoys me, at least he annoys in a rather unusual way. He's neither one of those emo mecha steretypes or one of those spineless recipients of Tsundere wrought abuse that are so common in Harem comedies. As for the cliche level, I'll wait and see. Some series turn out alright even if they're walking cliches. |
| I actually like him. He's unlike every other anime character. It's what makes this show so ineresting to watch to me. He's so utterly pathetic that's both funny and sad at the same time. |
| I relate to the main character a little too much, though I'm not nearly as paranoid nor delusional. In any case, I like him but the voice can be grating at times. |
| Ill be honest I find him difficult to like, wouldnt go so far as to say I hate him but I wouldnt be too gutted if the show finishes with a Bad End for him. |
 |
net_nomad said: I relate to the main character a little too much, though I'm not nearly as paranoid nor delusional. In any case, I like him but the voice can be grating at times. Same. But as annoying as his voice is, I think his voice actor did one of the best voice acting jobs I have ever heard (at least in the game) |
| Yeah, try to picture yourself as Taku in this anime. And remember Animes and characters aren't made for only you, they're made for everybody. Don't start bitching about He's the worst character in the world. They've actually made the best worthless character in anime industries. So the more you hate him, the more successful the creator are. Just wait until they've animated chapter 6 and 7, you'll change your view about Taku as a human being. |

| Obviously it was intentional to make Takumi so paranoid, because it was essential to the story. I wouldn't say I like him, but his character adds more feeling to this anime, kinda like Makoto from School Days. Sometimes you need that character that you love to hate. |
 |
| I mega-loathe him. But the fact that I hate him keeps me coming back. It's like I watch it to make sure I hate him more, and that he receives retribution for being an asshat. |

He is pretty annoying, I can't wait til some personality change comes... and he actual becomes.. normal? The girls are awesome :) Yeah, cliched personalities, but that's what we like best, ya? :D |
| Guys, when you see the ending, you'll notice he's more badass than you think. |
gdavge2003 said: He is pretty annoying, I can't wait til some personality change comes... and he actual becomes.. normal?

I don't want another normal main character. For once a show has a main character that isn't like every other hero in an anime. Why do you all feel the need to watch the same exact thing over and over again? Plus, he is pretty much an anime version of me. So I can't hate him. I love him, he's one of my favorite anime characters yet. Because I can relate to him so much. And... Tsukihime? Every "example" of how they are alike whoever said that gave is a huge stretch. The two have very little in common. Seriously, this is the best show this season, and 50% of why it is so great is Taku. |
| Im assuming you all hate him because of his personality :P But i hate him for a different reason! I hate him because he gets to live the dream of every otaku! To be the main character of his own series D: Damn him... getting to a high level in a MMO, having tons of Anime Figures, not having to go to school alot, having his life turn into a anime, AND the most important thing that ticks me off the most, having his life turn into a HAREM anime... [sarcasm] Taku you son of a b*tch! ILL KILL YOU D: [/sarcasm] |
| (warning, my posts are always tl;dr) i agree with Anti-Existence and hirahira with taku. taku is almost an exact replica of me, aside from the figures (i can't afford those). the extreme social isolation, paranoia, hallucinations, and preferences of anime and games to real life people. this series feels so real to me, because taku is extremely relatable and real. i often lose my sense of reality as he does, and to see someone similar to me is intriguing. i usually don't find these traits in people, whether IRL or the net. i think a large chunk of this series was not really made to be appreciated by certain people, and as many know, nitro+ does not produce average things for average people. i don't think i'm wording this properly so it might sound offensive somehow. by the way, i don't think his voice is annoying at all. it's realistic. someone like taku wouldn't sound how other characters sound. the portrayal of the type of person is spot-on. that's what makes taku enjoyable, he's believeable and you really get the sense that he's not like everyone else. i don't like the pink haired girl, probably because of bias from how taku sees her. i can sense a shift in that after episode four, so we'll see. i don't like his sister at all. so far she seems worthless to the plot and just added in for sister complex. i'm waiting to see how she'll develop. what surprised me most is sakakibara yui's character. i'm a big fan of sakakibara yui and i've never known her to pick such a role. it's very interesting to see this fresh take, i'm used to her taking on cuter roles (and song styles). FES is definitely a favorite character. so far i like sena a lot too. sena is very mysterious... oh, and by the way, someone said taku is "mentally retarded". pyschological problems and retardation have absolutely nothing to do with each other, it is offensive and insults my intelligence that anyone could ever think so. on to episode 5... |
| i like him. :) |
| I like him too, it´s actually a pretty original character. But I can understand why some people may hate him, he´s just such a weakling. |
| He reminds me of Satou from NHK, so I like him. |
| (づ°‿°.)づ |
| I couldn't get enough of this guy if he was in a daily soap opera! |
| sellective_yellow, you are definitely not alone. I couldn't bare 2 episodes of his bitching. I've bailed out, and i'm pretty confided when i say that this phails. (IMO) You sir, are my hero. Enduring this crap just to see if it gets any better definitely makes you some one who deserves my respect. As for the Tsukihime addicted guy (I'm too lazy to scroll up an get his username), he is right. I've also noticed that the childhood-friend thing. It really resembled with Arihiko, though i did't notice the hypnosis thing. Now, it wouldn't be so terrible if at least they copied Akiha as well. lol |
| I dislike the main character. And it's not like I only like typical protagonists. I actually liked Makoto from School Days. |
| taku is the best characters in this show this far. dont like the girls at all.. well, fes is ok. |
     |
| I still hate Taku, but not as much as i hated him before. |
Veronin said: I don't hate him, he makes the story more interesting. I'd rather have a messed up character like him rather than some generic character that has been done to death a million times. |
| I actually liked him till he Perhaps it is because I somehow have a weak spot for characters with serious psychologial issues. I was almost as scared as him during his red delusions and I think he acted perfectly natural for someone in his state. Also, the story would probably be very cliched if he wasn't messed-up. |
| Takumi was the best part of C;H. but he was better in the game. you could see more of his thoughts. He's so crazy <3 <3 |
| I liked him until |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
