Chaos; Head


Yes, Chaos; Head (along with kurozuka and Ga Rei Zero) was finished quite a while ago, but i have yet to post any of it. Simply for the fact that i've been busy.

You can read the synopsis or the description of Choas;Head in one of my earlier posts or just visit the usual, ANN, AniDB or wikipedia 6_6

As a whole series, Chaos;Head doesn't seem too bad, they had managed a plot quite nicely at a decent pace. Starting off as a serial-murder type thriller to something science fiction. The source of the science fiction is the machine so called Noah (and Noah II), as well as the Giglomaniacs. People with the ability to alter reality on their whim, so to say.
Noah, the machine mimicks the ability of the Giglomaniacs, and as all machine, it has a creator, which is our villain.

Thinking upon it, our Villain, Norose isn't anything special. In wanting power (vast power, one to control the country and people 6_6 ), he uses Noah II to control mankind. And like all good scientists, he does research and constantly tries to obtain new data. The Data in this case is the so called 'code' that each of the Giglomaniacs have. How he does it isn't mentioned, but i'm guessing its somewhere in the DNA or mental map, afterall he's been holding each girl and draining them. And with most villains they always overlook a weakness in their defence. Sure it's a smart idea to program Noah to protect itself and not let anyone touch it, (with the exception of Norose himself), but whats the point in doing that when you exclude yourself from it? Arrogant idoits.

As for our so called 'hero' Takumi. I had originally disliked him severly, his constant delusions and fantasies really annoyed him. He only became slightly like-able at the turn of events when he slowly starts accepting and less deluding. However, in hindsight, it was a nice touch to the whole storyline of Chaos;Head, plays the theme of perceptive reality quite nicely.

None of the girls get much character development. Nothing special. At least it wasn't a general harem comedy. Except for the stupid delusions ~_~

The Intro and Ending song aren't anything special and have not caught my interest at all. Fail ~_~
Pop... i think is the genre for the two.. Tween Pop? o_O? im not very well versed in music terms.

Overall the series was somewhat okay. Nothing spectacular, but nothing something so horrible i'd avoid my entire life for. A once-watch is good enough. No need to rewatch.
