anime review time! (chaos; head)

well i guess i'll start giving "reviews" on anime's i've seen or of one's i've been watching for a long time. gives me something to write about. let's start with one of my favourite. chaos; head

I kinda stumbled upon this gem by accident.

The first episode opens with rain falling on a young mans face, "The glance is coming from the sky. Don't look at me. We see he's wearing a school uniform that looks a little bit torn up, and his eyes are glazed over. He's on the ground in what appears to be a post apocalyptic city. the from out of the distance a girl walks up, looking totally unscathed. "i'm sorry" she says with her head hung low as she walks up to him. a pink light engulfs her face, feathers fly out and a "sword" appears in her hands. "An angel" he says while looking at her face. she knells down to him and places the sword over his heart, then leans in to kiss him. "There' only me and her in this world...if we stare at each other forever....will my world become only that which is reflected within her eyes? Will her world become only that which is reflected within my eyes?" The camera pans up to the sky and we see the girl ready to stab her sword through his heart "Everything that is me is her" "everything that is her, is me" fade to black.

yuh i know right? mind fucked. well that's what the whole point of the series is. a lot of the first episode starts out with a "normal" life then start to degenerate into weird strange happenings, with the last few minutes of every episode leading to a HUGE mind fuck for the viewer and for our poor taku.

Taku is the main character of the show, he's a huge otaku, only goes to school enough to pass and loves this online game where he claims to be the master of that world. His only love is a girl who's only a delusion named seira who's the female character in his favourite anime. She's always there to wake him up and get him motivated... or unmotivated. And of coarse following the typical anime plot, all the other characters are female and impact in some strange messed up way.

All in all it's a GREAT show and i'd totally recommend it to everyone, especially if you're looking for a good mind fuck :)

i'd give it a 4.5/5 only cause it's not long enough lol.
