This anime series, based on a popular video game, follows Takuru Miyashiro, the president of a school newspaper club, who is in charge of investigating a series of mysterious deaths. Takuru becomes aware of something called the Sumo Sticker, a strange graffiti symbol that was first seen a few years before the devastating earthquake that killed his parents. Looking into the Sumo Stickers leads Takuru and his fellow student journalists into a strange medical environment where experimentation is being done on the creation of delusions. Here, Takuru finds himself confronting emotional trauma that alters his perceptions of reality. Chaos;Child boasts one of the most imaginative storylines in recent anime, and it is presented with stylish animation that enhances the sense of paranoia lacing its way through the central characters’ experiences. Presenting all 12 episodes plus a bonus OVA from 2017 in a dual-language Blu-ray/DVD Combo set, rated TV-MA, this is highly recommended. (P. Hall)
