| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well first I got a james Bond feeling, then I didn't get the story anymore I don't know who the characters are so I don't really have the right to complain , I think.. I do kind of like Tomokazu Sugita's character ;) I wasn't suprised about the death of that former Mama leader, that was pretty mean of David, but his escapes are epic |

| What I really want to know about is the last scene? |
| It's my first encounter with the .hack franchise (I only stumbled on this OVA accidently) but it definitely got me intrigued. I especially liked the quiet moments as they helped to create a somber and suspenseful atmosphere. |

| Placeholder post for proper episode discussion thread. |

| Ooh. Someone translated this? Gotta watch it. And as far as not getting it goes...yeah, I'd figure that'd happen. When there's one entire game that we haven't translated (discounting Versus), that's kind of what you should expect to happen. A lot of the necessary info you probably would need to know for this is in the .hack//Link game. |
| After watching the movie and then this.. I couldn't believe ELeanor was a traitor..but I had no choice but to. But damn was this Thanatos Report confusing at the same time >< Then again.. I have not/cannot play .hack//versus. Can't play a game I don't understand the language of after all. But from what I understand.. This takes place some time after the movie, but before the game? At least I'm guessing so.. pretty sure that was Tanaka who found the Aura chip. But how/why is Aura inside a chip like that anyways confuses me even more. I was following the .hack story pretty well up until a year or 2 ago. Seems like it just keeps dragging on and producing more questions then answers but I dunno.. rawr |

Seems like it just keeps dragging on and producing more questions then answers but I dunno.. rawr I watched the movie before watching the OVA, it didn't confuse me or anything by watching it in this order, which I think is the right way to do it but it still only really left a lot of unanswered questions for me. This movie and the OVA are the only proper ".hack" things I've ever seen before, never played any of the games either. The only .hack I did see before today was ".hack//G.U. Trilogy: Parody Mode", which is just a 6-minute short I watched a long time ago. After watching the movie, which I enjoyed somewhat and I thought the CGI animation was done very well, despite being completely CGI, it still looked and felt like an anime. However, the Thanatos Report OVA was done in regular anime fashion, so I was little surprised, I thought they were going to do CGI again. Anyways after watching both, I really want to get into the .hack franchise by playing all the important games and watching all the animes related to this franchise and possibly get my hands on as many of the mangas that are related to the franchise. I truly want to immerse myself in it's world and I would like some advice on how to, like do I watch all the animes first or play the games and in which order. My score for the Sekai no Mukou CGI movie I'm giving it a 8/10. My score for the Thanatos Report OVA is 7/10. |

| wasted 20 minutes of my life |
| Kinda tied into the movie, David met an unfortunate end and Tanaka ended up with Aura. There was a game with this though? |
 |
| That death was hilarious... |

| It was quite interesting to see those cgi characters in 2D art. I must however say that I didn't expect that kind of betrayal from Elenor. Still this episode and that ending was quite spectacular I must say, and so we come to one of the last entrees of the current dot hack anime line. I do wonder if we ever see any continuation on this to be honest, especially with that kind of ending. |
