(L+CR) Chaos;Child

[Stark700]

Plot Summary:

On 7th of September 2015 a man suddenly dies while streaming a video from his web camera. Later, on September 19th a street musician dies the same way while performing.

Miyashiro Takuru, a member of Hekihou Academy's newspaper Club is tasked to investigate those incidents. His friend, Shinji Ito, directs Takuru to a clue - both incidents took place at the same day as the first two incidents of "New Generation Madness" from 2009.
Takuru tells this to Kurusu Nono, a vice president of the newspaper club, but she doesn't believe him, saying it's all just a coincidence. Takuru continues to stand his ground" "There's a way to prove it's not a coincidence. The third "New-Gene" incident happened on September 29th. Which is... today". That instant Takuru's cell phone rings. It's Onoe Serika.
Trying to calm down his violently beating heart, Takuru gathers the other members and goes to a place Serika told them to...

Spoiler for ep1:

Well, considering how so similar it was to Chaos;Head, I can say that the red-haired girl who somehow took his cellphone is evil. Then there is probably at least one more evil person disguised as a normal person somewhere.
Then most of the girls will die.

Protagonist was kinda stupid deciding to go investigate gruesome murders despite panicking when he actually kinda got what he wanted, but whatever. Takumi was better (more entertaining), as the not-so-helpful episode 0 showed.

Not much to say, though Itou Kanako is awesome as always.

Opening didn't flow very well.

[DragoonKain3]

Episode zero is pretty much Chaos Head in 20 mins. Which is a lot cut out, but at least it wasn't the same footage from the original series. Which is good, since Rimi looks so cute in her 'new old look'. Shame she didn't make her do her trademark 'Bishi!' catchphrase though, but I'm not going to say no to more 'I thought she was MC's childhood friend but she really wasn't even though she acts like one' main heroine of C;H. XD

As for Chaos Child, I'm loving Nono much more so than Serika, despite both being actual childhood friends of MC this time. (THANK YOU Nitroplus!) Which is weird actually, since he calls both of them by their last names. Well in any case, I actually adore Nono's worry of Takuru's well being, since well, it reminds me a lot of Rimi. Serika on the other hand is so far just the 'yes man', but going by she had the scoop of the latest murder, I'm pretty sure there's more to her character than what can be shown in an episode.

Over all, very strong pilot episode, but I can't say it impressed me more than Kuzu no Honkai's. Sitting solidly at my 2nd favourite pilot, and looking at what hasn't aired yet, will probably stay so. So at least that's saying something, even though this series has a lot of similarity with its prequel.

They almost didn't have anything to do with the original game though. They've only collaborated with 5pb. for the development of Chaos;Head/Steins;Gate and partially Robotics;Notes.

Episode 0 is pretty much a recap of Chaos;Head (which works much better than the original anime series) so nope.

Episode 0
That moment when a 20 minute Chaos;head recap by Silverlink is thousandfold better than a 12 episode Madhouse "adaptation".


Episode 1
The actual Chaos Child episode also was very enjoyable. Some of the scenes the way they were set were literally lifted out of the actual VN which was beautiful to see.

Its mostly "stand alone". You could play the chaos;head VN since its almost as brilliant as Steins;Gate, but whatever you do DONOT touch the madhouse "adaptation" that came out years ago. That was just....bad.

What is that text under the opening logo supposed to mean? Like when it has Chaos;Child and then some nonsensical engrish under it? Surely that's not subbed in but actually there in the raw as well?

Wtf is a noid?

edit: Well after watching the recap at the start, I can safely say that I still have no fucking idea about .. well, anything in that anime. I've watched the original adaptation too, and it was awful, and very confusing. This adaptation may have been "better" despite being crammed into 20 minutes, but I still don't understand any of it. Probably the most confusing anime that I've literally ever watched :x. Since Chaos;Child ties into that anime somehow would be nice to understand the original premise but ugh ..

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.

Anyway I enjoyed the actual first episode, but seeing how its one cour and this VN is even longer than Chaos Head I'm not expecting much.

Yeah, can safely say I don't understand much of anything in that 40+ minute span spent watching this first episode . It did do a solid job condensing a confusing 12 episode anime down to a confusion 20 minutes with the same amount of understanding gained . But it wasn't like the technical first episode for Chaos Child was any more clear.

So...the MC from Chaos;Head had a really unfortunate set of days...then an earthquake struck and they all died? Well...that's unfortunate.

And yeah...what is a noid ? Somehow I don't think they mean the Domino's Pizza mascot from the 80s (thanks Google). Unless of course somehow Dominos Pizza is deeply connected to the truth of this anime .
