Chaos head has definitely got the right title for this twelve part anime series.  It is very confusing and requires you to watch intently to what is going on.  You can't eat your dinner whilst watching this show, or you will miss an important part of the plot.

The plot is so confusing that it probably rivals Metal Gear Solid in its levels of confusion.

I will try my best to describe this confusing mess.

To start of with; the main protagonist lives in a lock up, that would normally be used to transport goods on a ship.  Why he lives here is never discovered or resolved.  I hate to point out the obvious but, this is Japan.  It must be unbelievably hot in this place and his computer never over heats.

He starts to get messages from a strange person who has photos of killings.  There are a series of so called Gene murders that are taking place and later on, we find out that the photos that have been taken, are dated a day before they really do happen.  Weird or what!

So a bunch of characters who all have there own agenda turn up and eventually we have the usual boss battle.

This series steels from so many different shows, computer games and anime, that it would be impossible to mention them all.

It definitely gets a 9 on my weirdoshitto meter.

So we have a boy that shuns himself.  He doesn't need any help from all the youths around him who do the same.  He has a serious lack of backbone complex and always puts himself down.  People turn up and he's the only one who seems to know what's going on.

	This girl here seems to be following him to find out if he's the cause of the Gene killings and tries to get close to him for her reasons.  She acts all sweet and then all of a sudden become serious.  She had a twin sister who committed suicide with four other people and is trying to find out if it was really suicide.  She turns out to be a Knight.  They all do in the end.  It is so predictable.
	This girl here is the lead singer of a band, whose lyrics seem to used by the killer when he murders again. She acts aloof, or maybe that's just her being shy.  She talks to no one but the boy below.  She tells him that the world can not be saved, unless he finds his sword. By the way; this sword can not been seen by anyone and I'll address that latter.
	This girl here is the boys sister and seems nice enough.  She visits him a lot in his lock up but gets treated badly by him.  He really is a prized WANKER.
	This is the main protagonist in the series.  He has to be the wettest, most useless hero I have ever seen in any anime.  He even walks past a girl who has hurt herself and does nothing.   He is only concerned with anime and computer games; the online games to be precise.  He imagines a girl from either an anime series or a game he might have played.  He is a typical Otaku and has all the models of this one girl.
	This girl appears early in the series and is standing in front of someone who has many knives stuck in him.  She turns towards the boy and he craps his pants and legs it.  Nothing strange so far.  I know I would!  She then turns up at school the next day and starts to act like they have been friends for a while.  The boys craps his pants again and starts accusing her of wanting to kill him.  His friend shows him a photo of them together and that they have been hanging out since the first grade. The boy starts to think that he's going crazy and questions himself.  You had better get used to this, because he does this a lot, to the point of being almost noxious.
	This is the Anime/game character the the boy sees all the time when he is alone.  She keeps reminding the boy that he only likes the 2D world.  I.E.  Anything from anime or a computer game.  Yet, he never questions the fact that she's 3D. She seems to be the ultimate fan boys dream.  She's always optimistic and there whenever he needs her.  I just think she and he's weird.
	This girl is mute for some reason and you only find out why that is latter in the series.
	This girl here walks around with a huge F**KING sword all the time and no one with the exception of the knights can see it; this includes the pussy boy above.

So we now have most of the cast of this almost forgettable anime.

The premise of the show is as follows.  Imagine if you could control the vibrations of the world.  Imagine if the vibrations could be controlled at the source; I.E.  The brain.  The brain is a receiver of information from the eyes, ears, and any other sense that might be needed.  It the decodes it into an image that it comprehends and that is our view of the world around us.

Imagine if you could send your thoughts out into the world and had the power to change the world around you?  You might want to get a couple of pain killers; this is going to get really confusing.

Some people have the gift of changing the world around them and can do some amazing things without any help.  These people are called Knights.  They are able to make the impossible, possible and regularly do.

We later find out that some Church of Light, or something like that, are also trying to control the public through some computer.  They use mobile receivers to send a signal into the public.  The purpose is to control what they see and what they think.  You can have an army walking down the middle of the road, but no one will be worried if they can't see it.  Or you can have them killing each other if they think that they're starving and there is only a few loaves of bread left to eat.

You could say that the writers of this anime series were trying to say, that all miracles were nothing more than a mass delusion of the mind.

I told you this will get complicated.

The trouble with this series is that, as much as it's nice to have a plot that requires thought, not many people will have even heard of the theories that this series is trying to elude to, let alone understand them.   It can be complicated and yet it is simple.  When you find out what is going on, it will make sense but you will feel disappointed.

The problem with this series can be also aimed at games like, Xenogears.  It is very convoluted and also simple.  It tries too hard to be something it's not.  I would only watch this if you understood the Matrix movie, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, The prisoner TV series, Xenogears (Playstation game) and Neon Genesis Evangelion.  Once you have watched or played these programs, it might make sense.  Otherwise, I would steer clear of this series.

It's giving me a head ache just writing this review.
