Currently Airing Anime

For those who played Chaos;Head VN and seen end A and B and as a response to Felix

 Spoiler

It was indeed Suwa who paid the thugs. It's explained in the B ending where he experiences all of the new gen cases. Also, from what I can tell, it wasn't Shogun who causes Takumi to experience national attention (Assuming you're talking about the scene where he goes up to the roof and is forced to find his D-Sword, fails, and runs away). I assume it was Suwa who did that because of the Mask, and how he was able to escape through the barrage of reporters.

Now, after finishing the VN getting almost all of the CG, I really wish the anime would've stuck to the VN more. I found myself actually understanding everything that wasn't explained in the anime, and I really think that they should've stuck to the VN, even if it required more episodes.

 Spoiler

...I don't remember it explicitly saying it was Suwa. I did the B ending first, so it was longer ago. Can you gimme a screencap?

Yes, but that's confusing to me. I assumed it was Suwa, too, due to the Darth Spider (or w/e haha) mask and his obsession with that franchise (as he says and proves later when that helmet is present again during when he murders Ban). But then that led me to wonder a lot of things. Is it truly Suwa doing those things related to Takumi or is it Shogun manipulating him? The things Suwa does only help accomplish Shogun's goals, as he states and apologizes later for (saying he just wanted to make Takumi awaken). And if it wasn't Shogun, then really how much did Shogun do to provoke Takumi? Not much. I'd like to hear your opinions on that matter.

And yeah, that's a given. The anime is terrible compared to the VN. I'm playing through Chapter 6 again right now to check what else they cut out from this episode. I TOTALLY forgot and didn't even notice that they cut out one of my very favorite scenes!!!

 Spoiler

If you remember that scene, you know what I'm talking about. Was it not insanely creepy and intense? LOL OMG I'm still haunted by that ringtone and thinking, Oh...OH NO TAKUMI! Then when he was like, "The box is heavy..." I was like, OH CRAP IT'S HER HAND!!! Seriously screwed up.

It really makes me wonder where the anime is going, especially with the preview showing that Norose is going to be using his Di-Sword already in ep8.

Oh, and I totally want to chat with you sometime if you'd be up for it. No one ever wants to thoroughly discuss this series with me. ;_;

MOAR thoughts:

 Spoiler

k so finished chapter 6 another time. I paid very close attention to every detail of the rooftop incident, and it brings up some questions:

It would be very strange if that was Shogun. Shogun would know Takumi has the same powers as he does. The way he seems curious makes it definitely seem like it's Suwa. I think I neglected Suwa far too much in my reads through the story. He seemed more like a puppet to me than anything. I'm confused, though.

How does Suwa know of Shogun? And how does Suwa know Shogun is in a wheelchair?

How closely together are Hazuki and Suwa working? I know they're both working for NOZOMI in some way, but I still don't get some things. Hazuki is the New-Gen murderer, but isn't Suwa responsible for some of the murders, as well? Since Hazuki is actually Takumi's friend "Grim" she could have known about Shogun, but that still doesn't explain how they know he's in a wheelchair. Did I miss something where Hazuki could have known this and told Suwa?

I think as I read through the story, I just got an assumption in my mind and accepted that. But now the more I think about things, the more I can see them going different ways. I would REALLY like to know more about Suwa and all his true intentions. I think he's the most mysterious character in the entire series.
