This is probably going to have some spoilerish stuff in it so if you haven't seen up to ep. 15 of .hack//sign you don't wanna read further.

WTF? After 13 eps of fluff, the plot is finally getting somewhere. Ep. 14 ends on a big cliffhanger and what do they do for the next ep? A freakin' recap ep!!! Who the heck wrote this show? They have to pacing skills of a turtle! I understand the need to build up the plot but 13 eps of building is a tad excessive. If I hadn't already dragged myself this far into the series, I'd drop it but I'm determined to see it through having come this far now. It's just frustrating. This one recap ep basically gives you the same effect as watching half the series. I have to wonder if there's any hope of some substance in this series anytime soon.
At least in FFU, it was fun to watch Kaze blow away stuff with his Ma-gun while you were waiting for that turtle of a plot to get going. With this, it's just really nice character designs, excellent music and the hope that after all the work that was put in to it that it'll have to eventually go somewhere. |

I nearly tore my hair out when I saw how episode 14 ended. 15 didn't piss me off, but I'm REALLY hoping 16 comes out soon. But I've seen a lot worse cliffhangers before, and clip episodes ARE a fact of anime, so this isn't enough for me to drop the series, especially that I'll be getting a PS2 for the sole purpose of playing the RPG. *drool* |

I hadn't thought about it, but that is absolutely true. Still, noir was one of the few series that had an ending that I was happy with. (see that old thread about gainex endings, etc...) ^_^ |

Thanks for warning, I don't have to download ep15 now . You'd think since it is in a fantasy game, they might fight monsters or something, but they just sit around and talk all day. I would have stopped watching, but the PS2 game looks interesting. |
