Chaos;Head(Anime Series Review)

On this site we review anime and manga but, not a lot of anime reviews. Here is one today about Chaos;Head dubbed and owned by Funimation. Here is a Wikipedia version of the plot:

Chaos;Head's story is set in 2009 in Shibuya and is centered around Takumi Nishijō, a high school student at the private Suimei Academy, and the strange and brutal murders that have recently occurred in the Shibuya area, known as the "New Generation" Madness. The story begins on September 28 with Takumi talking to an online friend called Grim . Grim is trying to bring Takumi up to speed about the recent New Generation events since Takumi is not interested in local or international news. A person named Shogun  joins the chat room midway through Grim and Takumi's conversation. After Grim leaves the chat room, Shōgun begins to talk. He speaks in a very cryptic and confusing manner, leaving Takumi nervous. He then sends Takumi a barrage of image links, one of which appears to be of a brutal murder of a man being pinned by stakes to a wall.
The next day, Takumi comes across a real life murder scene. Witnessing a mysterious pink-haired girl pinning a man up by stakes in an alleyway, he immediately realizes he is witnessing the very murder detailed in the pictures he received the day before. Convinced Shogun is targeting him and the girl he saw committing the murder is somehow connected to him, Takumi tries to avoid getting involved with other New Generation events. However, as Takumi begins attempting to distance himself from the crime he witnessed, he soon catches interest of the police.
With the police suspecting him, and himself convinced that he is being targeted by Shogun, Takumi finds himself caught in a spiral of delusions and paranoia, as he desperately tries to keep himself safe and figure out why he is apparently being targeted. He eventually comes into contact with several other people related to the events, including the girl he saw committing the murder herself. Unsure of what is real or who he can trust, Takumi finds himself thrust into a much larger scheme than he ever thought possible, as the mysterious company NOZOMI carefully plots something from behind the scenes.


Based on a game Chaos;Head made no sense to me. Even though I had just watched it in it's entirety I found the plot to be kind of confusing even though they had explained everything. It was also pretty depressing the main character Takumi was a shut-in anime nerd and it was just pretty weird. Takumi was basically pushed into this situation but it was a weird story. I guess for me it was probably not as good as I thought it would be. Even though it wasn't my favorite anime ever it was decent, but hey this is my own opinion

I would rate this anime on a scale of 1 to 10 based on its content, art,  and just how much I liked it.

Content I would give it an 6 because even though the story was interesting it was hard to understand it all.
For the art I would give it a 10 for the great detail, color and overall look.

Last for just how much I liked it I would give it a 6 because for me personally I just didn't like it

The average combined score is  a 7 out of 10 for its content art, and likability.
