Heh Serika just doesn't know when to give up.

Final episode has her confront Takeru again although this time, she shows more emotions. A fitting conclusion I guess? The whole case had a mind thrilling feel to it in some ways.

That ending was pretty confusing for me lol....I dunno what to make of it, but I guess for now I'll give this series a 7 since I really liked everything overall

Might bump it to an 8 if I can make sense of the ending after I re-watch it lol

I'm completely lost about what the hell just happened, and I suppose that's primarily down to the fact that this seems to have been rushed beyond belief. However, even ignoring that this episode encapsulated a lot of the issuesthat have plagued the show from the beginning, not least of which being massive exposition dumps either for the sake of a twist or just to explain something simple. Also, as with other episodes, there were bits I liked - the bit at the start with his senses being removed, in this case - but they ultimately weren't fully capitalised on for one reason or another. In that sense, this show has been a definite disappointment and really could have been so much better. If nothing else, it really should have been 2-cour rather than just the 12 episodes we got.

Well that ending was quite something,

Let me try to get the facts straight, if anyone was confused maybe this will clear you up. If I was wrong somewhere, please do point it out.


Overall, it was a good show. The mystery and development was good, characters could have used more exposition perhaps, but I guess that's all we're gonna get since I hear this adaptation is rushed. I don't think the whole Gigalomaniac thing was explained properly, I guess the show assumes you're watching this after Chaos;Head so you're expected to know stuff. Things got pretty wild these last two episode and they definitely needed to be explained much more in detail, I'm not really sure if everything I stated above is right. XD However, this show was definitely above the original Chaos;Head but I'm gonna say that Occultic;Nine was the superior mystery both in terms of development, science fiction, antagonists and detail. Still a good show nonetheless.

Finally it ended and at least it was kinda decent in the end, but as the whole this anime was so boring to watch. This felt so empty, went into it without any expectations, but this was such unique dissapointing experience, some series are not good from the start and have some interesting/funny moments, but this one just didn't have anything ... Still the mystery of this anime about Hana wasn't unveiled =/
Usually my scores are around 6-7 like choose some decent stuff to watch (and mb something is very good/great), but i really should score this 2 or 3, i guess as always be generous and give it 3 and if to sum it up it was so not worth to watch.

They will adapt the True Ending in OVA format because the ending "canon" of the game ends with the same doubts that the series.

In yes the only problem with this episode is to understand the end with Onoe the others although they deepened very little is explained to understand it if one paid attention to the concepts that were handled in past episodes

I didn't think this was as bad as some people are making it out to be, from what I understand Serika was created by Takuru to give him something he wants to do, this in turn makes Serika do all the crazy things she did and also why the New Generation Madness happened "later" (present time in the series) so the big point of contention that can be argued here is whether or not Takuru is responsible for Serika's actions

From this ending however we see that Takuru accepts responsibility and makes Serika into a "normal" girl so she can finally just live her life without having to worry or abide by Takuru's desires, which were the reason for creating her in the first place, and he then he either turns himself in or tries to kill himself

Finally, as others mentioned in this thread there's another ending which will be adapted on the OVA and all that

I dunno though, I'm a bit torn between a 6 and a 7, might go for a 7 for the time being but I'm not sure

This felt rushed and overall this whole show was just a clusterfuck of nonsense. I feel like it would have worked better as a 2 cour show.

Just like its predecessor, Chaos;Head, this show had an interesting premise and mystery but in my opinion, it was poorly executed. However, I found this to be just marginally better than Chaos;Head, so 4/10.

Wow that was terrible. Wait a minute terrible isn't enough to describe it, it was worse than ChäoS;HEAd and somehow it deserves it's own accomplishment because it is really hard to find a sequel which is way worse than the predecessor.

This series was rushed af and hardly had anything in it which makes sense, also not to mention the poor execution of the entire thing and this 'ending'.

Christ this was a pure waste of time. 2/10

Like a lot of people here, I think the show is not terrible, rushed, the art are just fine, the show is not explicite, a lot of characters are not develloped, or just the minimum of the minimum. The end is so bad, well, we can understand a bit of reason of the purpose, but that all, there is a lot of action that make no sense.

But the top is in the main guy, who is a trash (not a the bad term, but in overall), like he has no charisme, can change from "I'm a badass-I want to solve the mystery" to "I'm sorry-I'm a trash", and the change are so quick that we can't even feel compassion for him. The utilisation of the power and sword are just random, nothing is clarified, it's just convenient for the plot (and its a big word for this serie.....).

No seriously, I was hoping for something a last good, and the beginning make me think that this was on way to, but no.......at last I can now see something else and wait for other (and probably better) series on April.

Wow. People are so salty and harsh when it comes to this show.

Personally, I found it really entertaining... I don't love this series, but I do find that I like it.

As for the ending, it's a little to ambiguous and unclear for my taste. It doesn't make sense, but I'm willing to wait for the Sky End OVA and make my final judgment then.

Some of the characters dragged but it was passable for me. I didn't expect a ultra acclaimed show, just a passing anime from the Jan-Apr season.

7/10 from me.

Well, I was pretty focused while watching it, but the fact that it was rushed to oblivion in the second half makes for a rather lackluster experience, to say the least. It was better than Chaos;Head, at least. XD

So did Takeru absorb Onoe or are they actually two separate people? The end scene made it seem that she had control of his body even though she awoke in a different bed. Idk pretty confusing ending.

Literally no explanation on wtf happened.

people Keep mentioning the Sky Act ending...if someone could hook me up with an explanation or a link where I can read about the ending that would be awesome.

Overall it was an average anime, but that ending put it below average for me. 4/10

All was a Serika plan for make to Takero a hero, just!!! and now go to sleep!!!!

What the heck, I didn't expect to be right about this one, talk about a surprise. I guess it's a good plot twist although it was kind of ruined by the rush. Too bad, because it could have been amazing.
Still, I loved the last eps and I would definitely recommend it, although only to people doing the VN afterwward; I'm pretty sure the emotional impact is a lot greater in it. but it's still really cool. Although Takuru deciding to be "punished" for something almost everyone think, ESPECIALLY when they are kids, is kind of weird. Honestly, it'd be weirder for a kid this age not to be like that, and granted he didn't change much since then (but at least enough to be able to fit in society) since Serika was created at THIS moment... Well. It makes sense and not at the same time for him to have a guilt complex, but acting on it like this is quite bittersweet, damnit.

Because he wanted it. Remember what he said about Takumi being the "coolest guy on earth"? It's directly related to this, just like Serika's scenario was. She was trying to copy exactly what happened to the guy he idolized so much. Add to that the fact that a lot of kids are this way (hell, look at any 5 years old telling you how he wants to be superman and beat people. It's basically a big punch in the power fantasy cliche.).
Basically, it's "power fantasy gone bad: the anime".
To quote a line from Umineko, it also pokes fun at a common cliche in mysteries: "murders happen because the detective is here and he needs a murder to work on". It's just in a litteral way rather than a meta one (although you could argue that it was in a meta way since Serika created a "game")

The last lines make it clear that he real-booted her into a real person, who exists in order to exist period and not as a "tool" so to say, as opposed to when he was little.
So it's Serika, but as a real, normal girl. Serika was created as a part of Takuru; hence why she also didn't want to "be normal". Turning her from a tool with a purpose to a living human made her "a normal loser without a purpose" to kind of quote her words.



I find the show quite explicite even with only the anime as a only source, it's way easier to get than Chaos;head (that already wasn't that hard to get)
I don't know what I'll give to this show if I update my list; the end is worth a 8 or a 9, but the beginning and middle of the anime-rush were especially bad and would be 7. And I feel like doing an average wouldn't solve this because the end really made me appreciate it.

It's not, because Takuru is already the designated culprit based on pretty much everything. While Sakuma didn't have as much influence as the comitee of 300, he clearly had enough to make even huma right's groups ok with Takuru being the killer. Yes there is no real proof, but we're in a conspiracy setting here, don't forget this. Also, Japan has quite a "big problem" with confessioin. It's very, very often seen as the "king of proof" so to say and you'll have a VERY hard time making people change their mind about someone confessing, even if he isn't the culprit. It's better since some years but Japan's justice is very particular when it comes to prosecution.

Well it's fair to say I really had no idea what the fuck was going on during this anime. Like I got the main points like giglomatics and the Onoe creation, but so many others things like why the earthquake happened the way it did, the mystery of the other characters, the last part of the ending, Onoe's powers and motives (so killing tons of people was the only option to give Takuru entertainment??), etc... I'm just confused as fuck and most of the show I just was not really understanding the developments that were going on.

I feel like there was so many small details that I wouldn't have picked up if I hadn't read the VN. On top of that I didn't watch/read Chaos Head and episode 0 didn't help too much. I had no idea how that connected with gigolmatics, the earthquake, or the weird imagination-to-reality device that they were alluding in that. I have literally zero clue how that all connects (I'd love if a VN reader could just explain it all to me).

Overall, I didn't really care for the characters, everything was rushed so I didn't really get to know them. Also Takuru wasn't the most thrilling MC, I found him pretty boring, he's probably better in the VN. Also I was kind of let down by the big plot twist that the "dad" was the main bad guy and that Onoe was the killer (for silly reasons too if you ask me).

This is yet, another terrible semicolon adaptation. Only Steins;Gate has had a good one, it's a damn shame really.

I expected a little more out of this one to be honest....

Oh I believe it. I'm a Rewrite VN reader and a fan of VNs in general, and I totally get that feeling, I'll take you on your word, VN adaptations generally can be very sketch. Though I felt like the second season of Rewrite was better as an anime than this, and the reception I see on forums for both shows and the MAL score kind of reflect that sentiment too.

I agree with most of what you summarized, granted I'm no a VN player. With Takuru being able to see Serika's memories, I think it probably also had to do with their clashing di-swords, though I do think Takuru knowing who Serika really was is also part of it.

From the looks of it at the end, Serika didn't seem to have been in a hospital. Rather it seemed like a bedroom in a normal house, so I'd assume Serika was sent to some random home with altered memories to keep her away from any delusions. I guess he just created the 'real' Serika, who is a normal girl with no involvement in murders or delusions, effectively making her an ordinary person in that reality.
I'm also a little miffed on Takuru and nearly all people involved with the case falling into a coma (or was it just Takuru and Serika?). I'm more inclined to think it was nearly everyone, since it went out of its way to show the primary people around the events all falling asleep. I guess this sudden coma kept Takuru from killing himself?

I'm guessing from their conversation before falling into a coma that Takuru basically destroyed any memories or thoughts in Serika that had anything to do with him, Gigalomaniacs, the murders etc, to let her live as a normal girl, away from all of that. So he used his power to create a reality where Serika was a normal girl, not a person born from his wish.

Also about the Silent Sky arc, I'm not too sure on it either, but I'm guessing it's a different end following a different route in the game. Looking at the related anime for this, there's some sort of iteration called Chaos;Child: Silent Sky, so I think they're making a special or something to show this alternate ending
@Beatergod this bit above may satisfy you too I guess. Seems they plan for some special to illustrate the Silent Sky ending

EDIT: @willardhwright thank you for the explanation, glad to know I got a little bit right xD

I vaguely remember Takeru's power but I remember them mentioning he can make anything real if he wants it right? Which would make sense if he wanted Serika to be a real human. That would make sense why all the people she still had under her mind control waking up at the same time as well.

The weird thing was everyone in the car fell asleep...thats something I didnt understand.

My head is still in ChäoS after completing this series. I do like this a bit better than ChäoS;Head but the finale of ChäoS;Child was confusing as hell and it felt underwhelming when it ended. Maybe it's because they crammed so much content in 12 episodes and would have worked out better as a 2-cour adaptation.

Well, whatevs. I hope Silent Sky would be more satisfying to watch. I'm feeling generous and giving this 6/10 because I still like the character designs as well as the creepiness of the first half. They botched it in the latter half. :/

i'm sure these games are decent compared to their adaptions but to much information gets left out leaving most anime viewers in the dark and leaves us with a pretty meh show at the end of the day that needed more episodes to flesh out everything.

Nice that they had the OST PS and Xbox Opening, "Singularity" and "Nonexistent Youths". That was the best part of the episode.

Overall, disappointed with the series but I still love Serika. I can't wait to play the VN when I'll be able to even though this adaptations had already spoiled me with the events.

My most hyped anime of the season is my lowest rated deym anime adaptations...

5/10

Well that ending was quite something,

Let me try to get the facts straight, if anyone was confused maybe this will clear you up. If I was wrong somewhere, please do point it out.


Overall, it was a good show. The mystery and development was good, characters could have used more exposition perhaps, but I guess that's all we're gonna get since I hear this adaptation is rushed. I don't think the whole Gigalomaniac thing was explained properly, I guess the show assumes you're watching this after Chaos;Head so you're expected to know stuff. Things got pretty wild these last two episode and they definitely needed to be explained much more in detail, I'm not really sure if everything I stated above is right. XD However, this show was definitely above the original Chaos;Head but I'm gonna say that Occultic;Nine was the superior mystery both in terms of development, science fiction, antagonists and detail. Still a good show nonetheless.

7/10
I agree with most of what you summarized, granted I'm no a VN player. With Takuru being able to see Serika's memories, I think it probably also had to do with their clashing di-swords, though I do think Takuru knowing who Serika really was is also part of it.

From the looks of it at the end, Serika didn't seem to have been in a hospital. Rather it seemed like a bedroom in a normal house, so I'd assume Serika was sent to some random home with altered memories to keep her away from any delusions. I guess he just created the 'real' Serika, who is a normal girl with no involvement in murders or delusions, effectively making her an ordinary person in that reality.
I'm also a little miffed on Takuru and nearly all people involved with the case falling into a coma (or was it just Takuru and Serika?). I'm more inclined to think it was nearly everyone, since it went out of its way to show the primary people around the events all falling asleep. I guess this sudden coma kept Takuru from killing himself?


Oh yeah, Serika didn't look like she was at the hospital, Agree with what you said about her.
I think only Serika and Takuru fell into a coma, the others seemed to be portrayed as merely just opening their eyes for a second before falling asleep again. I don't know, probably some sort of symbolism that they sensed what happened with Takuru or something. Mio was also unaffected by these events even though she was involved in the case.

Also something I just caught going back... was there any teachers relevant to this story?

Here's a screenshot of the scene Im talking about.

Yea there was:

We can see him at the start of the first episode and also in 3ed episode, when he take the kids to the police station. He must be someone important and maybe even a higher level member of the committee than the doctor but i couldn't find anything more about him.
----------------------------------------
Well we didn't get anything about plot as the whole but the last episode was good, overall the series was enjoyable and mysteries where well placed as most questions that came to mind in one episode, the answers where in the next one.
That blue sky in the end was similar to the scene in the Chaos Head and and maybe the theories by @Mich666 in the Episode 9 Discussion is true and the whole thing is somehow connected to the Taku.
Im hoping we get some actual answers in the OVA.
Anyway overall, i really liked the anime and like Chaos Head, im giving it 9/10.

still left confused just as i did watching Chaos head the least i can say it was still better than that though that isn't saying much.



i'm sure these games are decent compared to their adaptions but to much information gets left out leaving most anime viewers in the dark and leaves us with a pretty meh show at the end of the day that needed more episodes to flesh out everything.


The main problem is that you're not supposed to expect being spoonfed with the chaos serie. It's already more or less the case in the game but the animes just make it even worse due to everything they skip. But it's a serie where you are upposed to fgure out/"get" some things yourself without them saying it black and white, they just put the data you need to figure it out and you're supposed to igure it out yourelf. It's a part of the charm of the serie. Its narrative is pretty different from, say, Steins;Gate. and it looking "mind-screwing" but logical is a part of the appeal.

I find the anime pretty clear about more or less everything though.

Also something I just caught going back...around the 23 minute mark it shows someone sitting at a desk stretching while watching the news but don't show their face or anything. It looked like a school Desk but was there any teachers relevant to this story?

I took it as the cliche "the real mastermind, still sitting in front of his dek, observing everything".
Sakuma was nothing but a joke when we're talking about the comitee's level,, so it's probably the main and real "mastermind" (...which suddenly makes any victory Takuru won a lot less impressive)


I'll have to check about everyone falling aseep and why, I don't remember this part, however I saw Takuru falling into a coma as him being tiired from creating Serika yet again. Just like it happened when he was younger. Takuru isn't a god-tiergigalomaiax like Shogun, just a "good one, so creating a life by himself probably created a very heavy burden on himself.

It honestly felt like it took 3 hours just to get through the episode. Long exposition dump, lack luster fight, horrible villain, and a dumb ending.

It's been a while since an anime has made me feel this bored.
Sigh.

HEY GUYS, can you tell me this is actually the last part of the story? What about the announced sequel, which I've heard is the true ending? Does the story continue to the sequel or is it an alternate ending?

If a least we'd had a patch for the visual novel...
