Comments on: .Hack//Roots Review - 74/100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2006/10/07/hackroots-review-74100/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated. Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:42:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Tan-Tan http://psgels.blogsome.com/2006/10/07/hackroots-review-74100/#comment-17309 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:29:59 +0100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2006/10/07/hackroots-review-74100/#comment-17309 (some spoilers) I loved the anime. Just finished it. I'm halfway through only .hack Infection game, very first in the plotline, and now I'm thinking of playing GU fast xD I loled at how you defined Haseo in gorilla-mode. Well, gorilla mode is better compared to Sora in hack sign. He's very interesting and I often wondered what exactly he was thinking. This is what kept me watching so close, until ep20+ where I sometimes skipped scenes, especially relating to Tabby. Tabby is another who I often thought of. It only crossed to me that she may like Haseo when the brigade was about to disband, but I wasn't still sure of it. I mean, I didn't really see WHY she'd like him. The fact that most characters did nothing when Haseo was in gorilla mode was one great act I commend. It's frustrating, but like they repeatedly said: Haseo won't listen, they can't do anything. They in fact did something. They tried violence many times and a lot of blabbering, but nothing happens. I think it's not right to criticize something because we deem it should be or shouldn't be, but analyze the circumstances and what it wants to say to us. It's also reality that no matter how often people are told of what they should do and that they should act now, nothing will happen until they realize so themselves. Most things don't move instantly until the moment comes, because the world doesn't revolve around a single person. Anyhow, I completely agree that the anime doesn't show it's an MMORPG. I WTF at some scenes, like Yata's homebase spaceship >> I mean, WTF how can you make computers inside a computer-generated reality...I thought many times: this show is better if it were a true fantasy setting, but it'd lose elements, of course. The biggest ??? I have when the series ended were the two figures with Azure Kite. I was like...WHAT?!?! (some spoilers)

It was very boring, I kept watching it in hope it would get better, but then it ended without really revealing anything. The main characters only talk all the time, you'd think MMORPG games were like that... I never played any .//hack games, so this anime sucked big time for me.

Also, I get your point that it does forget the fact that it is only a game, though like they say throughout the series, "Can you call it 'only'?" In doind what you said, it's proving a point. The point being that even though it's a game, it could be just as important as life, or even intertwine with it, which Sign didn't nessesarily do as much as this series. Also another comment to you, if you have a PS2 and some spare money, and are even the slightest bit of a gamer, you really should buy the games and play them. All your loose ends wil be tied up and you'll experience some great gameplay :D Yes, dear god yes, if you’re going to watch the anime without playing the game afterwards, it’s just a ginormous waste of time, because you WILL NOT get anywhere in the end.
