Zephyr Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [b]Rating: ???[/b] I have abosolutely no idea what to rate this one. For the most part it seems to be filler, but the parts pertaining to the seach for the Key Of The Twilight were not. Anyway, there were a lot of amusing parts. First was Sora making an *** out of Silver Knight, followed quickly by BT using Silver Knight to help Sora (this earned her a few points). Best of all, seeing Morganna toss Tsukasa around like a rag-doll. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [B]Rating: 9/10[/B] I really liked this episode alot. The start was a bit slow until the groups came together (Crim,Mimiru,Bear,Bt) I think the episode provided info on the characters more then the Key of the Twilight and stuff (except for the end) This episode made me laugh a lot. I'v never laughed more in a .hack//sign episode then this one. Mainly the part when Mimiru got freeked when BT came up to her, and said "Its not like im a moster" Yeah right! I laughed so hard. I also liked the part when Silver Knight took out his sword and started swinging it, I laughed at his stupidness :laugh: Hey! I have a whole new theory! No, it not on what happened to Tsukasa, It was about the conversation with Crim and Bear (The stupid question also made me laugh)So, Crim starts out asking Bear if he can ask a stupid question, and then asks how old Bear is. Bear says he will soon be 47, then Mimiru gets blasted "Your as old as my Dad!?" Then Crim got into the conversation of well... getting older. And said That in every great man there is a kid. Or something like that. Anyways, my new theory is that Crim is around the age of 21-23(I say 21!) and had recently graduated from collage! The things he said sounded like what a collage or graduated student would say (like the stupid question part) Im thinking hes probably 21 because my dad went to business school and graduated in that from one year. But I dont know much about collage. Well, thats my thats my new theory ^^ Tsukasa part: Holy Crap! WTF happened to him!? That part was just freeky! Mainly the part when his clothes were being ripped (even though some Tsukasa fans probably liked it) At first I when he was placed on the bed (with clothes on) I thought he would be taking the place of Aura at first, but then the voice said a few spooky things and Tsukasa got the crap beaten out of him. Now I dont know what to think! Darn cliff hanger.... By the way, you can tell BT in unsure of joining with Sora and Silver Knight. I think Silver Knight is unsure too.

Domou Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [b]rating: 7.5[/b] The episode all together was a very good one, though there were some parts that.. left me confused (being the only reason I give it a 7.5) but all in all. The last part with Tsukasa getting torn up I really tried to understand but the best I could get out of it is that Tsukasa did something wrong bringing Subaru there, and got beat for it.. But why did it mean that Tsukasa was "no longer needed"? I wouldn't be suprised if we didn't see Tsukasa for an episode or two just because of that. When Tsukasa brought Subaru to that little place he always goes, and that little girl seemed to have disappeared, which I thought was quite odd since we haven't seen her move in a single episode. Where could she have of gone!? Anyways, it was a fair episode.. with some iffy parts, it just leaves a ton of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophic Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 rating:8/10 I did not like the the first part of the show that much but when the funny stuff came. I turned around. But when Tsukasa got @#$% up. I don't know if this is a spiler or not[spoiler] By i think is a data drain {from DotHack//Infection}becouse it looked just like it. His skin wus comeing off but it could have been me[/spoiler] over all i like the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Whoa! First episode 19, and now this. Haha, things are picking up (well, with only six more episodes, I guess they have to)! The ending floored me. Just that simple. Animation at it's best right there, with Tsukasa's hands releasing the wand. You really thought that there was some kind of force moving and controlling Tsukasa, especially with the subtle/futile resistances Tsukasa made (the shaking and what-have-you). I'm not an animator, but I think that took a lot of skill to create the "invisible force" effect so perfectly. Haha, did anyone else get a bad feeling after that scene where Tsukasa and Subaru go to that place and [SPOILER]find Aura missing[/SPOILER]? Man, I got it in the pit of my stomach, especially when the wind came. Subtle craft of the creators strikes again. [QUOTE]Hey! I have a whole new theory!

[QUOTE]When Tsukasa brought Subaru to that little place he always goes, and that little girl seemed to have disappeared, which I thought was quite odd since we haven't seen her move in a single episode. Where could she have of gone!? [/QUOTE] I don't think the little girl moved herself, as that wouldn't make much sense. I think that the evil (B.T.-level evil, dare I say) voice moved her. Haha, If you think it was just a voice that can't move anything, the ending speaks for itself. :) She's perfectly capable of moving objects, and she does a good job of moving people, even when they don't want to go, IMO. :D EDIT: Yeah, I'd just like to add another element about the music. I mean, I didn't notice it at the time, but in retrospect, the music's subtle pacing got your heart up (just a little) when watching the ending. There was that repetitive (but nice, IMO) "ding" sound over and over, and it had an effect on your heart pace. Anyone else notice it, or am I just psychaotic?

KKC Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 AG! I got that weird feeling too when Subaru and Tsukasa went to the domain. It was really creepy and quit. Maybe Aura got tired of floating and decided to stretch her legs ^_^' Of course, the voice probably had something to do with it. And yeah! I Noticed the "ding" sound at the end too. That was really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSennen Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 [B] Rating: 10 [/B] This is, by far, my favorite episode yet. For once, we got to see Tsukasa happy.. With Subaru.. Them holding hands like that warmed my cruel, evil heart (kinda like B.T.'s) into a fuzzy ball of love. Then, for the first time, he really, truly opened up to someone and took Subaru to Aura's field. Then later, the animation with Tsukasa's ***-whuppin' was amazingly lifelike.. Getting him to dangle like that so realistically must have taken the animators a while to get right. When Tsukasa was getting all ripped up, it reminded me of that one scene in the intro where the main characters are all falling with the clothes flying off.. Did anybody else feel that way? Then he said he's not himself anymore.. Then the red screen, then the tear, then red. That really had me sobbing... Oh yeah, and the Key of the Twilight "joining forces" thing was cool too.. I guess... Overall, this is my favorite, most emotional episode of .hack//SIGN yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Of course that reminded me of the intro song. I mean the first time I say the opening song... well... I was a bit surprised (but now im kinda sad because it doesnt have Crim ;)) Except... In the opening theme... Tsukasa is smiling O_o but in this episode he was screeming in pain. I dont know about you all, but screeming in pain and smiling seem really different to me. hm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Subaru Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Oh yeah that was a great episode. I give it a 9/10. My favorite so far would have to be Recollection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guardian11 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I think why morganna did that to Tsukasa [spoiler] Morganna Drained Tsukasa of his power to awaken Aura.[/spoiler] I felt like that after that, a Green guardian would appear and DD tsukasa like in "castle"! :wigout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Kite Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Rating: 10/10 Does anyone here understand what is said between Tsukasa and the audience???? He says, "I am not me anymore!" I don't fully understand it!! And it was more than a filler episode **spoiler** [*spoiler]because when they mention in .hack//Outbreak at the very end Kite says, " I finally understand the rules of this game, the game that Harold created!" We'll not to spoil the entire thing and the fact that i don't remember what was said in the episode but the mentioned and answered your question if you didn't understand what Kite ment by that phrase!!!! If some one has the DVD's or recorded VHS's and could look it up for all of us here that would make my post a little bit simplier!!!!! [*/spoiler] Thanks, Hacker Kite EDIT: I am sorry about the spoiler thing i even went to the posting rules thing and copied that and i still get it to work so sorry and Please don't look if you don't want to see it but i was a little curious!!!!
