Chaos;Head - Episode 1: "Boot Up"

That’s not how a semicolon works, Japan. I’d consider this a momentary lapse if there wasn’t ANOTHER show called “Robotics;Notes.” You guys really have no idea what you are doing.

NETFLIX SYNOPSIS:  After being told about a string of killings in his area, high school student Takumi stumbles on a murder scene. Convinced the police are after him, Takumi spirals into paranoid delusions that blur the lines between reality and fiction.

Who told him about these murders? Would he have not stumbled onto the scene if he wasn’t told? Also, that’s not him in the cover art, is it? If you are only going to show up the ladies, why are these series never about the ladies?

0:29 Um…um hey. I was just lying here in what appears to be a war zone, could you give me a minute?

1:03 Oh, it appears you planning to murder me with this magic sword. And now we are kissing?

1:36 Yeah, that’s nice, Eddie Vedder.

2:15 You aren’t kidding me. That was Google. You were searching on Google.

3:25 Oh hey, it’s this place again. Yeah, never get tired of Shibuya.

4:02 Is this happening? Is this lady here? What’s going on?

4:45 I do! I do think you are gross. Especially since you refer to women as 3-D girls.

5:05
You put that girl in a sack? That’s rude.

5:31 I’d really like to meet a murderer as long as she is attractive!

6:38 Some guy reading his ICQ messages. Fascinating.

7:07 The fuck? A fetus found inside a male corpse? That’s pretty fucked.

7:25 Wait, this guy lives in a shipping container? And of course he has a younger sister. They all do. All of them.

8:11 She’s drinking his COOOOOOOKE!

8:55 Burn?

9:58 Is…is there a monster over there? What is he freaking out about?

10:57 Some guy meets a weirdo on the Internet, and for some reason this is being scored by string instruments.

11:27 Oh, okay, that’s a picture of a murder alright.

11:58 Hahaha, women sure are bad at sports, am I right?

12:21 Wait what? Why the hell not? Just…just turn off your ICQ, it’s not that hard.

13:12 Did this guy suddenly forget where he lives?

13:45 Okay! Run! Run away forever!

14:24 Good job taking a murder weapon, stupid.

14:54 So…this guy is being told to ignore what he saw as it was a hallucination…by a hallucination. I think this guy is royal fucked.

15:35 Okay great lady. Thanks for coming by.

16:15 Oh, oh right. It was probably someone also coming to school, because literally everyone is coming to school right now.

16:59 I kinda like my main characters to not be plagued by delusions of paranoia?

17:46 You see, this line is funny because this show is based upon a porn game, so it’s ironic.

18:27 Mcdymaids!

19:06 Wait, she WANTS to live in a shipping container? What the hell?

19:53 Um…weren’t you already looking at it?

20:45 Yeah, I really need all this history about a fake anime show.

21:20 That’s usually how that works when you are in different grades in school! You ditz.

22:03 Oh right, that murder. How did I forget?

23:04 Dude, calm the fuck down, people like to talk to each other about stuff. Most of them aren’t legitimately crazy like you though.

23:46 Oh by the way, maybe consider seeing a doctor.

24:54 Hahaha, isn’t it funny when a murderer transfers into your home class?

Verdict: This guy sure does hallucinate a lot! So much so that I really not sure if I can believe the main premise of this thing? Like, what is real and all that? Also, the otaku have goddamn won, because it took me the entire episode to figure out there was an English dub, which I have to manually turn on if I want to hear it. (NOTE: I like to watch the English dub when “reviewing” because I could miss the subtitles while I’m making a bitchy comment. Please get over it.) So, some of the jokes above might not make sense! Sorry!
