"Ideal Male" *Shows Makoto Itou and several other sus characters*

Great video! I adore CHAOS;HEAD, and Takumi is one of my favorite protagonists due to how incredibly fascinating he is--so I'm very glad you enjoyed him so much. Ayase route is a chuuni fantasy, but what may help you understand the route's purpose is to think about its themes. A great deal of C;H is about perception, and in her route, we learn that she not only doesn't see the world--or in this case, the sky--the same as Takumi, but she *can't* see it. Her world is marred by suffering and death, and only by connecting with Takumi and allowing him to enhance her world is she able to gain a new, far better perspective. It's another commentary on isolationism and the subjective nature of perception, which fits perfectly with how the narrative approaches Takumi. Also, thanks for the CoZ plug.

Chaos; Head and Chaos; Child are my all time favourite visual novels. I hope we can get more games like these.

I really love takumi, it felt like im looking at the worst version of myself but at the end when he finally developed and got his d sword that was the most hype moment in the series.

I'm reading through Chaos; Head Noah currently and I definitely agree about Takumi being a difficult protagnoist to read with. It works so well in the story but man those early chapters were hard to get through. I can't wait to see how wild the character routes get!

I really liked the original Chaos Head. For me Takumi is way more interesting than your typical Shirou copy and even Watabe at times (yes). It's underrated imo and I can't wait to read Chaos Head Noah (bought it but I don't have the time for it yet).

I wasn't a fan of the delusion triggers in both C;H and C;C. Found myself just wanting them to be over so I could move on with the story.

I am currently playing through the game and loving it. As you said aswell I do really love the Voice actor for Takumi Nichijou. The way he deliever his lines really puts his character to life. Unlike others who I have heared not enjoy the series because of Takumi I feel it completely different and I did not find The prolouge or the chapter after that or whatever to be hard to get through. I find his character to be a extremely fascinating character to view to story from even in the earlier chapters. I def do not fault anyone for being uncomfortable watching and reading what Takumi says and thinks but me on the other hand find him to be kinda comical in his day to day life. He is so out of touch with everything that is not something that is connected to the internet and I find it funny when he in his mind insult them or whatever becuase it can be just that outa pocket sometimes and the voice actor really nails his laugh aswell. His reactions to the more series events and "horror" elements I also find to be intruiginf as this is really such a uniqe character to view the story from as he acts in ways that a normal person would not which even ups the mystery and the "horror" elemets of the series to me. Well I am only currently on chapter 4, I think I am nearing the end of this chapter though and it is just getting better and better to me thus far and I do hope it keeps this up. I might even like this more than steins;gate if the series nails the rest of the main stories, the character stories does not really matter that much to me but if they do happen to be good then that would just be a bonus. Great video btw

I don't know if Chiyomaru can ever top it, but Chaos;Head Noah is by far my favorite SciADV entry

For real, the B Ending was one of the most disturbing things I ever experienced. It was so crazily written, that made you just feel uneasy and on the edge the whole time. I love C;H and C;C.

I liked Chaos;Head a lot exactly bc of Takumi. It was so interesting seeing his way through all his paranoia. Really great and different MC. You showed a lot of footage from the anime in your video, can you tell how it compares to the VN?

I played it just recently and I can't shake the thought that Chaos Head's Nishijou Takumi seriously influenced Wonderful Everyday's Mamiya Takuji, and indeed seems to be a huge influence on the latter work and its "denpa" themes. Both are shut in, otaku and socially awkward, both have strickingly real and terrifying delusions and have a 2D waifu turned to Eldritch Horror. Lots of Subahibi's themes are also included in the novel, including memory loss, the idea of multiple personalities and many others.

I'm real glad you enjoyed this game, I hope this encourages you to try more of the series

C;H start was absolutely the best for me, it has this tense feel when you still don't understand anything and randomly try between positive, negative, and no delusions... the scene with the body and the cat was tense, but so was the first time you forgo a delusion and suddenly there's some very specific phrase in the background and suddenly his paranoia makes a lot of sense. After the intro though, my interest just peters out... honestly none of the SciADV series are particularly good with pacing in general.

Something I liked about this game is the dude can't talk to even his own "friend" when most MC just have a hard time with girls

Have you tried Chaos;Child already? Its a peudo sequel to this one. I felt mixed feelings, but I still liked it more than Chaos;Head

The character routes in Noah and even the first two endings are what if endings to set up for the true ending. Quoting someone from COZ “After Norose sticks Takumi in a delusion hyperbolic time chamber in order to torture him, Shogun tells Takumi to "Look closely," and then proceeds to create yet another layer of time chamber brainworld, where he simulates multitudes of outcomes with his precognition. Takumi dies in Silent Sky so that Shogun can show him that he won't survive if he doesn't accept that everyone accepts him, so he then puts Takumi through many more iterative delusionary worlds to give him that mutual recognition to accept their prayers and gain the will to live as himself. This is why Takumi has deja vu of all the routes at the immediate start of the scene of prayer”

0:46 Ayo, August wtf? Those are ideal male role models to you?

I didn’t know they made a visual novel about shut in The August Hail

"Ideal male role models" includes Fuminori, Haruki, Makoto, and freaking Mamiya Takuji. Are we ok? Am i gonna regret going down the VN rabbit hole?

I haven't read this yet, but Takumi doesn't sound like a bad person to me. He doesn't sound like he's mean or malicious, just kind of pathetic and pitiable.

I think my experience was quite unique in that I didn't know delusion triggers existed throughout my entire first play through. I only learned of their existence when I looked up a guide on how to get the other endings.

09:23 Okay I didn't expect that one. Subbed

I recently 100% completed c;h and i loved every second of it

Too late. I am easily self inserting with the mc, he is pretty based

Biggest critique for me (Spoiler): There is not a single way to save Ban from his fate. That's just cruel.

last comment, I think C;H dropped the ball on the ending. But everything leading up to it was amazing

"A LITTLE broken" Don't underestimate me

I haven't finished Chaos;Child yet but I think I like it more than Chaos;Head

Can someone tell me better play chaos head first or chaos child? Or can someone tell me chaos series play order?

I love chaoshead n child so much probably my favorite vns n like them more than s;g though if we also include the s;g anime adaptation well then id prob go with steinsgate still

Ooh that early stage sounds rough. Hell I found Okage pretty insufferable for the first few hours of Stein's Gate (the visual novel, have never seen the anime). He does come good, but god it takes a few loops.

3:49 🥶🥶❄️

Hello There is one year ,at looking your vidéos list an reviewin about V N And ,thanks a lot, i discover this kind of 'new' medium aeccetera But finally i will take my proper way about this, i will continue to listen sometimes ,its true you are serious ,propse very good game and know a lot about this Genre'.. need be more open minded Sometime With all my respect

Chaos;Child is much better in terms of storytelling.

For me it was the ambiance the game puts that was stellar, every sound effect, the music, the backgrounds, it really made me lock in to the text and to what was happening. Spoilers . . . . . . . The torture scene even though it was only one cg really made me feel the pain takumi felt while being crucified for three days with the silent hope that it was all a delusion, and that is only one example, Chaos;Head does this throught the game and in my opinion it does it perfectly.

More Tolerance and indulgence, Man Peace

I'm at the beginning of chapter 4 and I'm fed up with the MC, I'm very empathetic but he's pushing things a bit too far.

I’m playing chaos child right now but I was told playing chaos head Noah first is better?

This…is on switch…

Your always super special thats why u r here for me !!!

Masterpiece? More like a psychological masterflop
