| I tried this anime out today, but I found it really confusing and I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I'm not sure if it was my subs or whatever... so I was just wondering what you people think? |
| It's a character study. It's not a grand MMO adventure full of action and bright, colorful fantasy worlds. It's bleak as hell, full of dull colors, melancholic background music, and characters talking for hours about their situation and The World. Also, I watched the dub and I was fine, but I also greatly enjoyed the talking, so I probably paid more attention than I should have. |
HybridLR said: .hack/sign is very much up to your taste in anime. If you like Log Horizon you'll be fine with this one. .hack/sign is slow build, not a lot of crazy battle scenes, but it gives you intriguing plot points, fun characters that you can relate to at least one most likely...and holds nice nostalgia for me at least. So if you don't mind more of a slow/psychological anime give .hack//sign a few episodes to see if you can get into the story. But the initial premise should be fairly straight forward. It's a bad idea to go into .hack//Sign thinking Log Horizon. It's more closer to Serial Experiments Lain if anything. The point of the show is asking questions about why people play in The World, their relations to one another, and the underlying plot that's only hinted at for like 3/4 of the show. I mean, you're right in saying it's slow, but I need to emphasize it: it is slow. It's hard to get into because of that, so don't worry if you're not getting it. |
