Comments on: Chaos; Head 2 – Recognition and Pre-recognition http://animediet.net/anime-reviews/chaos-head-2-recognition-and-pre-recognition Eating it right about anime since 2006!

It's like how there is no Japanese title for <em>ef-a tale of melodies</em>. They even say it in (accented) English in the episode previews. One can argue whether that's cool or a lame attempt to be "postmodern" on the part of the creators--though given the potentially confusing nature of the story and its focus on mental delusions, it does seem appropriate. @Rah’ra: Apparently, it’s not translated at all–”Chaos; Head” is its official title, and the katakana that represents it is simply a transliteration of the English words.

What does it really mean in Japanese? The title "Chaos Head" is not a very good English translation and it might mean many different things. How accurate is the title’s translation?
