| That's it, the final leap towards the ending. No more huge differences from the original plot, just (a lot) of trims due to time restraints and censorship. Since celebration is in order, I'll skip my usual bitching and provide those who haven't seen it the original art for the awakenings of the most beautiful and the second most bloody D-swords. |
| Yea it seems like the anime was neutered. It's been a decent show although some explanations are being left out I think. If I was Takumi I would pummel the living crap out of Shogun, Shogun has been acting like god throughout this series and I wish someone would take him down a peg. BTW is there a game translation in English? |

You beat me to it. :P I was going to do the honors but thanks for doing them and showing to us all screw censors and welcome to the real truth |

| lol he's a delusion of shogun? This is getting pretty out of hand, not sure what to expect anymore @_@, a lot of people are getting Di-swords but I guess I saw that part coming. So is Takumi finally going to show his Di-sword or what =/? |
| Well, I played the game a few days ago, after some comments here made me kind of curious. I have to say, aside from the disturbing Nanami part and the explanation why his class mobbed him suddenly after the flowerbed scene there was nothing major missing. Though they switched a few things regarding timely order and additionally put in a whole anime original episode. Aside from that I think they did a really good job at compressing everything, cutting off the not so important stuff but still maintaining the story and explaining everything well. Pretty close to the game all in all. I didn't like all the excessive violence and gore in the showdown of the game, so I really don't mind this "family friendly" version (it's good that way for a broader audience - for people who want the heavy stuff there is the game). The only complaint I have is, that since they never did the (often mentioned) Nanami scene, they shouldn't have bothered showing her blurry hand this episode. I mean that doesn't really make sense for ppl that haven't seen the game, now does it? Anyway, I hope they make the scene with Taku coming up next episode as good as in the game. Overall I don't think playing the game is really necessary since it takes a tremendous amount of time to play through (30 hours?) and though there are great things for gore fans, some more (but rather boring) delusion scenes and additional insight (not to mention the nice artworks), the important stuff is covered in the anime. I kind of regret that I have played the game, since the story isn't that original in the end overall. Watching the (shorter) anime is enough, IMO. slayer545-sama said: There was mention that Shogun may have a disease that accelerates his aging. Thus may be the explanation of mass energy releases when delusions come in due to this disease. |

| but they skipped the scene on the tower too D: and they pretty much took Grim out :( |
| aww , they skipped the part with Nanami's hand getting mailed to Takumi in a box.... :( easliy the most mindrape moment in the game.... but *looks back* its wrapping up now , 2 eps left... |
     |
| I'm getting creeped out. but things would probably become like the scene of episode 1 where rimi is gonna kill takumi~ |

| I'd laugh so hard if everything was a delusion and Taku woke up in a hospital only to find out he really was on that bus when he was a kid and has been in a comma for most of his life. |

RandomOugi said: the original art for the awakenings of the most beautiful and the second most bloody D-swords. That is one riveting picture. If Chaos;Head wasn't censored, I think that it would be 10x better. A lot of info was shown through the previous episodes including, and I'm still a little confused by all of it, but still good nonetheless. This series seems rushed, is it? |

| What the shizz, so no scene where he finds the hand in the box? -roar- This anime is such a huge let down D; |
 |
| 2 episodes left! WTF will happen!? So, Grim is actually the mysterious nurse huh.. That's explain a lot. |
They see me trollin', they hatin'. |
Heart_of_Storm said: They weren't just hinting at it, they even labeled Shogun's hospital door with "Takumi Nishijou" at the end of episode 9.SilentPredator03 said: I have not played the game, but I'm guessing that Shogun is the "original" Takumi. Rimi mentioned that whenever he has delusions, it draws life/energy away from the real Takumi, which could explain why Shogun is in a wheelchair. I've pretty much come to the same conclusion, they've been hinting at it for a while now, this episode was a lot more blatant about it. Im hoping thats not the 'twist' |
| craziness and why was his sister's arm disappearing. could it be an affect of takumi using delusions too many times? |
| While I like what's happening, the background stories are so lame. So the plot fails and however it's gonna end, it'll be impossible to make up for it. This is over. |

| i just want to say something first, can people stop judging god dam anime adaptations by comparing them to the original manga/video game!!! i get sick of seeing people complain and complain on every series like this. if you don't like it then don't watch it and just stick with the original version :( its not fair to judge a series by comparison at all, since this is the anime that is the game, its not the same thing! nor is it meant to be compared to it. and if you just don't like the series then don't watch it unless your really that bored. personally i think this series is amazing, its been so unique and mind-twisting since the first episode. they are definitely answering questions now and will be more answered with the last 2 episodes. can't wait till next week. ps. i will agree that they shouldn't have censored that hand thing, that pic looks so much better :P but oh well people who haven't played the game won't notice anything wrong with it, and i didn't until i came here -_- |
| Nanami's sword was awesome! O_o Poor keiji-kun. I grew to like him. What has the sister got to do with the evil cop? Acquintance! The part where Yua got her sword when she reached to the flowers, I thought that Takumi could have created that option... I agree on the Takumi part: he is annoying. Especially when he freaks out. He's weak as he hasn't tried to trace Shogun down yet... Oh, just saw the posted pictures. Meh, they definitely censored all those things out. I still think it's a nice show though. If I saw a lot of blood immediately, I most likely would have dropped it, like Elfen Lied. Cough. |

I thought the anime has gotten a lot better now that it is more serious. The pacing is a little choppy, I think, but otherwise it's very good (aside that it's another cyber-punk title that takes a lot from Serial Experiments Lain). This was a bit of a heart-wrenching episode if you take the time to understand the real implications of what is going on. While Taku's encounter with his sister was not really with his sister, I believe the feelings were real as they mirrored the feelings she was feeling at the time but elsewhere. In any case, things are starting to make sense. As I said, the pacing has been erratic, but otherwise it's very good. |
kie_ said: I'm not even being surprise anymore,it's just gone stupid. I have to agree with you. Something what i supposed to be cool horror/thriller turned into weird sci-fi drama. |
| ... what the fuck is going on...? ~_~ BTW: I like Yua's sword. |
| Great episode, the script is finally unveiling now and what I'm watching is really good. It's all making sense, and there's already a good build up, the plot has developped consistently since the beginning, that's maybe the main quality of this show, and now that two episodes are left, we really feel we're at the end of the road and I think it will be sufficient to make a good conclusion. |

| Great episode, things got chaotic. Im gonna hunt down the game after i finish the anime >.< |
| You are me. I am you. |

| actually, I don't know what the last episode is going to be about because the next episode looks like the end. They really rushed this way too much |
| Only two episodes left and this show is still shit. |
 |
| I think this episode was pretty good, at least compaired to some others |
Purple_Grenadier said: This anime is like a train wreck. A terrible mess, but plenty of fun to watch. I wish they had a second chance so that they could fix the pacing. They have the second chance in the DVDs |

| omg ! this anime is goin to end soon ~ >< SADS ! >< |
 |
| there will always be mysterious |
| awesome. for once i'm unconfused...well sort of. |
| This, kids, is what happens when you take the Chaos Head Visual Novel and shove it into crap. Everything happened so fast, there was absolutely no intensity that was present in the game. Examples include -Nanami's hand (Seriously it looked like she just had it up her sleeve or something. Comeon!) - Rimi saying "You must not have any more delusions" or whatever had a lot more impact in the game because that scene was intense. - They cut out like 60 percent of the scenes. What happened to the scene where Taku's on the building with all the news people watching him? -Goes waaaay too fast. -Everything else Well, let's see how last two episodes wrap up. *Prays for B ending* |
| I am hoping for a B ending too. and I'm mad that they took out the scene on the building too. that was the best part |
| Jesus Christ, this is starting to irritate me. there was so much shit crammed into this episode that the pacing was entirely ruined. and Takumi, while he was entertaining for the most part, is really starting to get on my nerves now. hopefully, the last 2 episodes will be a notch up from this one. |
    |
| Heh, the purists never cease to amaze me, although I have to agree the censoring was idiotic. They showed gore already, them showing a missing hand wouldn't have really been that gross in comparison to the Staking scene in episode 1. What goes through the minds of the execs in charge of deciding what to censor is something I will never understand. |

| Good episode! Illusion? I don't know! |
 |
| This show isn't even appealing to me yet I'm still watching. For the sake of knowing what the ending will be like and it's almost done anyway. |
   |
| This show is really bad. Fortunately there are only two more episodes for finish. |
 |
| Confusing episode Who is an ally or enemy? Human or delusion? The other user from the hospital? on the Empire sweeper chatbox = woah its Grim so from the beginning it was her and how come Shogun and Grim knows each other or not |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Please call 911!! Someone just raped my mind!! Are Shogun and Takumi the same person? |
 |
| Yua and Nanami gigalomaniacs. LOL |
| tis whole show has been nothing but confusion, what real, whats not didnt itachi from naruto exlain somthing like this "one person's reality is another person's genjutsu (illusion)"? |
     |
| And so, the last swords have been given. Now it's time to see them used together, is my guess. Takumi's quite delusional, so he might not need a sword, but he might still be given one. Wonder how it'll look then... |
