Anime Review: Chaos;Head

What we see is how we understand the world around us, it is how we interpret what is what and where it is. But if something where to happen where what we see is not actually correct, the human race would plummet into a world of disaster. Today the anime being reviewed is Chaos;Head, an anime that goes into a realm beyond our human sight. Chaos;Head takes place in modern day Japan, and focuses on main character, Takumi Nishijou, a frequent delusion suffering high school recluse who only wants to stay in his room to watch anime and play video games. Unfortunately for Takumi, he is exposed to a vicious murder scene caused from a new form of murder known as New Generation Madness or New Gen. for short. Now Takumi must differentiate delusions from reality as he must face the culprits and strange characters that meet him. this series has a very interesting plot with interesting characters to back it up. The dub is very exceptional because a good half of the characters are not voiced by A-list voice actors like some of FUNimation's other titles. Overall I award the series with a 8.2/10 for a series like this, the story really pulls you in as well as the characters, music, acting, and mystery within each episode.

Anime Review: Hellsing Ultimate

Imagine a great battle so monumental it shook the foundation of a whole country and left it scarred. A battle so powerful it took over ten years in the making. This battle can be beautifully encompassed into a singular title that emanates power without even trying. This title is none other than Hellsing Ultimate, a series filled with battle and chaos beyond anything any anime fan has seen in a very long time. This series is centered in London and follows the Hellsing Organization, a group that deals with the extermination of all supernatural threats to God and Christendom. This group is very special however from others, Hellsing employs vampires. Under Hellsing's arsenal is the mighty Alucard, a mighty count of darkness with power unimaginable. The other is Seras Victoria a young police girl turned draculina by Alucard. They are all led by the head of the organization, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, the descendant of Abraham Van Hellsing, the only human who was able to kill Alucard. This story is pure unadulterated chaos teeming with Vampires, Nazis, Catholic super warriors, and Madmen all battling one another for a different cause. Overall, the series deserves a spot on the shelf of any fan of vampires and the supernatural and I rate it an 8.9/10 the series is amazing and is a true masterpiece for a story that has existed for more than ten years.
