12-part anime adaptation. Chaos;Head captures the disturbing essence of a shut-in’s societal withdrawal and delusions, yet alienates viewers by heaping on too many layers of unreality (especially as protagonist Takumi Nishijo remains a wet dishmop with zero personality beyond jejune inner monologuing).

Set on the Japanese island of Tanegashima, this coming-of-age anime adventure story juxtaposes a high-tech conspiracy plot with the innocent wonder of high-school students building a giant robot. The characters (even the minor players) develop nicely over the course of the series.
