Since I had some extra time cause of my internet connection acting weird, I finally gave in and played ChaoS;HEAd in the past few days... got the AA ending yesterday and I do plan on going for route B buuuut maybe not right now >_>; (I heard B ending is sadder so I'm afraid of seeing it

Hmm, I honestly really don't know how long it took cause it didn't have a gameplay timer, and on the save files it only lists date and time ><
Anyway, I spent several hours on each chapter and it's 10 chapters total, so I would say maybe 20-30? Not sure :o It also depends on reading speed I guess XD I didn't use the english patch so I was reading a bit slower than I would if it was in english, but I also didn't wait to hear the voice lines in full at times DX So I'm really not sure XD

Anyway from what I understood, first time you can only get the A or AA ending (the choice for it is at the very end so can just save and watch both in a row basically), then by finishing it B route is unlocked, but the story stays the same till the last 2 chapters or so? And that's all I think D: The 360 version should have new routes for each girl from what I've read though :o

Anyway from what I can see the anime is really going fast forward through it and skipping important details >< I'd say that they're doing about 1 episode for each chapter right now, but will probably have to slow down a bit with the end because there is more action there (while in the early parts most of the text is from Takumi's thoughts and they're skipping them almost completely in the anime) It's a pity cause if they 24 episodes that would've been perfect for the lenght of the story :(

About Clannad, I didn't play it and still even I can see that some of the routes feel rushed, like Misae's route right now D: Watching it like this you don't even get to understand why Misae cared so much about Shima :/

I guess 20-30 is pretty long too :o I took a look at some of the graphics of the game version, and I was amazed at the quality!

I guess the anime version is low budget :(

Yeah the CGs are really pretty :O And about lenght, again I could be completely wrong with my estimate ^^; I'm too used to RPGs and get confused when games don't have a timer XD

And yeah, Madhouse is doing many series this season and I guess ChaoS;HEAd just got the leftovers ;_;
