I really like Haseo. Even though he’s shy, he has a strong character. He doesn’t just hear things and obeys them, but he thinks on his own for a chance. Still, my guess is that he’ll end up in the Twillight Brigade. Probably in the next episode. Anyway, today we see the introduction of another pair of interesting characters. They’re both players who abandoned the Twillight Brigade, because they were just used by Ovan. It’ll be very interesting if these characters make some more appearances in the show, as I kindof liked them. After all, a friendly PK-er and a pessimist are always nice to see.
There isn’t really a good side and a bad side yet. There really are lots of differend sides. I hope it stays this way, as it brings potential for so many conflicts.
An element I found interesting is the fact that nothing out of the ordinary has happened yet. In every other .Hack//anime, the first episode would immediately introduce something supernatural which was happening. In //Sign it was Tsukasa being unable to logout. In //Dusk it was the undefeatable monsters appearing (I hope never to refer back to //Dusk again) and //Liminality had (along with //Sign as well) people getting into a coma. //Roots still has nothing, which makes me curious about what will happen in the next couple of episodes.
Haseo will be in the Twilight Brigade. Terror of Death.
Then again, it’s the timeline before the actual GU games. Anything can still happen in between.
And about the supernatural thing… let’s just say a certain hero goes amok with his “bracelet” in the end, who looks like a certain Twin Blade. Zaps a character and eventually zaps everyone else.
I think I know who you’re talking about. If I’m right, I’m hoping that his personality’s got a total restyle.
The music is still stunning, but I agree with the supernatural-nashi comment.
Somebody needs to get data drained, and soon.
