One of the great things about anime is that there are almost no rules the animators have to follow: if the writers think of it, they can animate it. The creative team behind Chaos Head, however, deserves special recognition for what they’ve done here. It’s not that the images themselves are so wild; it’s the way the story – and the images – plays with the idea of reality that messes with your mind as you watch it. Chaos Head is the story of Takumi Nishijō, a high school student at a private academy who is more comfortable in his imagination than he is with the day-to-day reality of his life. Takumi lives in a old shipping container on the roof of his family’s apartment building where he spends his days playing video games and watching anime. The lines between Takumi’s imaginary world and the ‘real’ world are increasingly blurred, especially when he becomes suspect in a series of gruesome murders.
