Searched and didn't see a thread dedicated to this.
The movies been out for a little over a week now sooooo has anyone checked it out yet? I imported the blu-ray release and knowing zero japanese managed to get by if only because I had played the games. Early on it stays close to the G.U. games story but the second and third chapters pretty much strip away most of the rest of the game story for a different twist on things. Wouldn't call the movies story deep or anything but it was a fun ride anyway. The story focuses on Haseo, Atoli and Ovan with the few other characters there besides them never getting to do much other then talk.
As usual with game to movie things eye-candy is a big focus and so CC2 did a great job there cause it looks pretty darn nice all the way through! Just imaging a new .hack game looking like that or better makes me want one now! The soundtrack is nice to though I coulda done without yet another version of yasashii ryoute. Haven't checked out the parody mode or other extras yet but the booklet that came with the first print is pretty nice.
Overall I'd give it a B for good effort and cause I'm a fangirl but for people who aren't familiar with the games story and stuff probably a C / C+ would be more fitting.
