School part very slow paced, or didn't care for perfect student council.
Mc, animation & overall bit better than Gunslinger Stratos, at least the comedy helped. Lol dancing gundam unicorn.
CG/2D switch quite jarring, but wasn't bad.

Once I had to play PSO2, now I'm seeing the anime adaptation, it was fate! No big deal early, fortunately graphically not evil, not exceptional scenery, characters quite good, catchy opening, we see how it behaves the next episode, then I decide what to do.

...There is no way choosing your username can go this smoothly in an online game!


Character names can be duplicated in PSO2. ARKS ID on the other hand, are unique. Basically a first name / last name system like in many other MMOs. With the ARKS ID being the last name.

oh , ok...
I don't think i've ever played a MMO that does that tho.
It kinda feels like it'd confuse a lot of ppl.

Also for those who didn't know, the ED was actually from an in game event last summer. Link below. It was really popular amongst those who played the game!

https://youtu.be/H0UvkJCH90I?t=5m29s I don't know how to embed with the start time so lol.

It was an in game concert, with the minigame as you can see on the top right. Really simple minigame, and you didn't even need to bother with it to get any bonus, since the bonus would be applied regardless. The concert would only occur upon the schedule, so it was pretty hard to miss.

The song is also available in game as a music disc to play in "My Room".

Not what I was expecting

Haven't played in ages since PSO1 so I'll stick with it just for nostalgia's sake.

Why now? The game is several years old...why make an anime now? The last time I visit SEA server, it's basically dead.

Do not compare that 3rd grade quality server to the actual 1 when that server is full of bugs and disgusting elements not found in the original.

Also, it's meant to be an advertisement for Episode 4 but it just doesn't have the Impact for the first impression and they are attempting to ride on the success of 'recent MMO-like animes'.

Okay, it's advertisement for the game. So what? Just as Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. Does that mean these anime are automatically bad? The animation is good and I like the story so far, even if it is a bit ridiculous.

well, pokemon made sense, and yugioh was at least decent although with different rules(And made-up rules) than the game, but this is just plain lame, there's almost no story, no depth to the characters, and everything just screams(literally) "SEGA" everywhere, so it IS a problem, especially when people expected the game itself to be the plot, not people who play the game.

Wow this is so shameless. PSO2 has a lot of interesting characters so I thought it atleast be interesting. But its not even about PSO, Its about a kid in real life playing the PSO2 video game. It sort of anime that you cant help but laugh at how dumb it is and how shameless it is as a promotion for the game.

I know im going to be harsh on my first impression on this site here it goes. After giving it a shot after hearing from people it sucks as well as my first impressions when I first saw the promo image. I knew it was going to be bad.Not to the point of getting me angry due to the story structure and main character being one of those pushover types which I HATE. Also not just the main character is terrible but the supporting cast is forgettable as well. the music is just forgettable, and one more thing before I stop ranting I wanted to share what I feel about the first episode and also im a fan of the older phantasy star games. And this has nothing to do with phantasy star at all.
I hope it will be good and not CRAP!!!
IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A RIDE!!!!

Almost no story and no depth to the characters? What did you expect? This is only the first episode. People who seem to judge the story after the first episode, are kind of irritating. And that it screams SEGA isn't a problem in my opinion, since it is from SEGA. And, like in .Hack Sign, the plot can be about the game and the people playing it.

I still feel weird hearing the MC speaks in Shoutan's somewhat feminine voice XD But it's okay >.<

So the job of vice president is to play the game and make report for it? If only real life could be so easy...
So far so interesting, the fact the female president is playing annoying robot is the 'unique' point for me.

OP by Shoutan... uh mixed feeling with this, but the ED! Oh the ED song XD love it so much. I'm currently trying out those moves, would be good for a morning work out lol

Starting out w/ bad character interactions is not really a great way to start an anime >.>
What kind of guard gets suspicous of a guy wearing a uuniform? jesus, & he also had a crush on on the Pres? dafuq, Lolicon >.>
The characters attitude weres bland as their character design...
*sigh* i hate anime where everybody has a crush on one person...
I mean I know game adaptations are mostly never good but this is just bad.

All Sega had to do was animate the storyline from the actual PSO2 game like with Valkyrie Chronicles adapation and it would at least be average.

This, what they're doing now is a hot mess and the fact that it will actual be melded into canon of the actual game storyline is lol. Damn, I haven't played the game since like April last year. Just seems like the game has got even more ridiculous since I stopped playing it.

the Rag rappies in the ED made my eyes water a little. the nostalgia was love. i guess rappies became a PSO mascot now?


i'm really taken aback by the aproach of this anime. i was expecting for the MC to be a HUmar(er the pso2's ver of it) but not in this sense. i thought this would take place in the verse of phantasy star rather than spend half the episode talking about it.

Came here from Episode Oracle (I don't play the game), and gotta say I'm... confused...

Will continue to watch to hopefully make more sense of it.
