episode 2 is out
------------------

Wow, so it looks like everybody but me really hated Chaos;Head and isnīt watching this, eh?

All I can say is that Chaos;Child is a very different show than its predecessor. Itīs group-focused instead of centering around a single, crazy otaku. And it has a really nice pace, unlike Occultic;Nine, which kept throwing stuff at your without ever pausing. The hero, who is voiced by Kirito, is a bit too quiet as of now, but thereīs potential.

Only downside is the generic artstyle. Itīs modern in terms of animation and music, unlike Chaos;Head, which is a bit hard to watch in that regard. But it has this very, very typical "anime-style", you know, whe normies complain about something "looking anime", thatīs the style they refer to. Iīd wish this had Steins;Gateīs expressive, unique art. Oh well.

The anime does a good job at building on the introduced mystery, heavily relying on the events of Chaos;Head. I wonder if Takumi Shouji will make an entrance eventually.

The ending of this episode really got me surprise. Itīs not even that gruesome, compared to lots of other anime. But the way it happens out of nowhere and is presented so realistically, ... yeah, well done.
