----------------------------------------
A recap of Chaos Head's central theme, the generation of madness murders, Takumi and the patent to use technology to manipulate and control human senses and will.

More true to the VN than madhouse's version without telling the whole story.
7/10 decent segway into chaos;child.

I am very confused as to why, if it has its page and has obviously aired (since I've seen it) that I can't update it to my list? It keeps saying "No approved anime found".

Also, leagues beyond the original Chaos;Head adaptation.

I watched C;H in December but I can't remember well: was this recap different from the original series? I feel like some events (like some deaths) didn't happen of happened in a different way. Is this recap more related to the VN?

Pretty good animation, after seing the original 2008 version (one of the ugliest anime I've ever seen) this is a relief

I haven't watched Chaos;Head and according to ANN at least, I don't really have to. This Chaos;Head recap was confusing. But the important thing out of it was that there were some unexplained murders going on and the culprit was that loser looking dude. The loser is probably going to be irrelevant from now on I guess. I did like how Sliver Link. made that part look like it was done by a completely different studio.

@Z_Tetriminos it has been a while since I've seen but from what I can remember the deaths seem the same but don't quote me on it.

And man if the original was ugliest anime you have ever seen don't watch anything from like the 99-04 period. I think Elfen Lied takes the cake in both terrible character design and awful animation. I remember ChäoS;HEAd being kind of meh in both departments?

it has been years since i have watched the anime so good thing they aired that. it covered most the main points of the story but i feel they should have also included the earthquake thing too cause i seriously don't remember anything except that there was some organization that used delusions to cause destruction but were stopped by takumi and co. but i don't remember a lot of the details so a recap for that too could have been helpful. also, i know that the anime was very rushed cause they stuffed a 40 hour VN in a 12 episode anime (i didn't play the VN so i don't know how sever the rushing was) but i don't remember some of the scenes shown in the recap, is that true?

It was the same with Horriblesubs' upload of it so I reckon on Crunchyroll it should be the same as well. It's basically a 45-ish minute video containing both episodes 0 and 1 back-to-back

This didn't make much sense even watching Chaos;Head years ago, it was so mediocre I forgot almost everything about it. The problems with these recaps is there are no meaningful character interactions nor conversation so It's impossible for me to get into.

@Z_Tetriminos, I haven't play the VN, but this is probably like with the OVA that introduce Steins;Gate Cero. They move the story up to the last important point and take a diferent route to avoid the "good end" and have more story to tell from that point onward... Occultic;Nine has that exact same feeling at the end.

Yeah not cool.. in my country, fate/zero season 1 and 2 bluray 80€... a bit too much, it's not even a special edition, when it's like that, i wait for a promotion.

the recap was there just to refresh your memory about chaos;head. first episode of chaos;child was not that bad but it had some "what the fuck is going on?" moments too

The episode 0 was a perfect recap of Chaos;head with better animation and only the important moments. The story that takes place looks like the "bad ending", at least not the same that in the anime.
It was good to see before the first episode.

There were definitely some differences. I remember the 2008 anime didn't have the scene with his sister's hand being mailed in a box and that was one of my favorite parts in the VN.

This recap rearranges events due to time constraints (such as the earthquake apparently occurring at the very end) but it is supposed to be the true ending of the VN just like the anime adaptation.

Yep, actually she didn't even lost her arm in the anime adaptation, guess they thought it'd be a bit gore having her showing her lost blood in the arm all of the time, if only that was the only thing that made the anime adaptation so bad though...

ATTENTION!!
This recap is not really a recap. They changed the story and his sister didnt died, was part of the 7 black knights with D-swords. In the end they beat the culprits, not was a end like it was in the recap. Is a different chaos;head but is still good. Chaos;Child wants to be more like realistic with crimes like those in chaos;head and without D-swords and delusions and more. Anyway, you have to watch chaos;head if you didnt or dont remember. In MAL is so underrated but is so good.

Just impressed with the recap's art and voice acting development than the prequel's. For parts of the recap's story which is different from the prequel's, I find it good with main points taken, I'm not a vn reader of the main series, though I think its not advisable to start with this recap without the watching or having the knowledge of the main series chaos;head then went straight to the sequel chaos;child, imo.

To be honest I prefer the anime's story ( ChäoS;Head )
Like what the hell? Why did they have to kill Nanami in this Recap ?
And 3 main characters didn't appear in the Recap ( Kozu-pii , Kishimoto Ayase and the megane blondie )
At the beginning I gave it 10/10
But when I realized that there won't be any sequels for Chäo;Head in ChäoS;Child , I got really depressed
This recap as a story it's horrible but great !
Note : Momoshi ( Momo chan ) from ChäoS;Head is also one of ChäoS;Child's Supporting Characters
but the best thing is that there won't be any D-Swords which I really disliked in ChäoS;Head

I could not forgive that kind of change. A bit of justice was done here by showing bits of important stuff that were outright changed in the anime. A more faithful remake would be better, but that will never happen.

Ok, after playing the game I can truly say this was nothing but (VERY) rushed recap of the novel. It can't stand on its own, it was made for the fans of the game to make them remember key things but it tells you nothing about what actually happened and what the story was about.

They ditched all the dilusions, characterization and explanation, cherry-picked and put together scenes from different chapters and what's left are just bare facts that tells you nothing about how the world actually works, it just roughly tells you what kinda happened in the past.

Many characters were missing, many key elements (Noah, Nozomi, Di-Swords, Dyrac Sea, Glajioul, blind spot etc.) and they even make it seems that Nanami was the victim of sixth killing, the girl who ate her hand - which she wasn't.

Mind the fact that Chaos;Child is a true sequel of Chaos;Head even when characters are different. The story, the reason why the things keeps happening and the mechanics will be mostly the same. The logic of the world will be applied there sooner or later and I doubt they'll explain everything.

At least it was nice touch that they shown in the end that small Takeru is one of the survivors of the earthquake and that he is obsessed by the very same phrase as Takumi from prequel.

tl;dr - you should definitely watch the previous anime series play the game if you don't want to get lost in Chaos;Child. It's not that long (about 30 hours on casual), it's great at that and it would get you the background needed to fully comprehend what's actually going on in C;C. Otherwise, it's like watching the second Matrix without seeing the first one (where the most things were explained).

I cannot agree that this recap was better than the first anime adaption. Sure the anime adaptation made some bizarre skips compared to VN but at the end it still had the essence of the series and all the important points mostly covered within the time constraint that was given.

This recap makes ABSOLUTELY no sense unless you have played the VN or watched the first anime adaptation. If you thought first anime adaptation was rushed, this recap is a total joke.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

How the hell does this not have a wayyyy higher rating? People are idiots.

If you played the original Chaos;Head VN, this recap was practically a love note. People are missing its point. It covers many things completely missing from the anime series that were in the VN. Its animation is far far closer to the VN. The music is taken straight from the VN. And then it also shows all 7 murders.

What's not to like? Again, people are idiots.
