I've sort of have a change in schedule, my brother is coming over for lunch on the Sunday so that might affect the rewatch. Will pushing the rewatch forward an hour to 10AM AEST be ok?

[BeyondTime] I must be on hidden or whatever it's called.
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh you're invisible
[forlornhope] yeah you can set it to show you as offline
[MartAnimE] yeah I use that all the time
[MartAnimE] sorry didn't see your reply right away so I sent a pointless text XD
[MartAnimE] I'm ready on my end :thumbsup:
[ShadowBlazer3000] ready
[forlornhope] ready
[Noirlax] ready
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh just friendly reminder no Opening Theme in any episode
[forlornhope] aww
[MartAnimE] okies, but yeah, that's a shame :V
[MartAnimE] OP themes are exciting
[Noirlax] yeah none here by the looks of it
[BeyondTime] ready
[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[BeyondTime] go
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] go~!
[MartAnimE] Go~! :frog:
[MartAnimE] The World R:X
[MartAnimE] oddly, not the 10th game
[ShadowBlazer3000] The X makes it sound cool
[MartAnimE] of course :smile:
[MartAnimE] nice dinosaurs
[Noirlax] Lots of action.
[MartAnimE] awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :cat:
[ShadowBlazer3000] three friends hanging out playing video games :video_game:
[forlornhope] when the k-on crew plays .hack
[forlornhope] kitty cat :cat:
[Noirlax] does seem like it, does feel like friends in a game. Lol
[MartAnimE] lots of familiar looking players I noticed
[forlornhope] back to the fantasy setting which I prefer over roots/gu setting
[Noirlax] Does feel like a sword and fantasy setting
[ShadowBlazer3000] I've never played Link so I'm not sure if the steampunk from R2 carries over or not
[MartAnimE] what a mature voice for that little girl XD
[ShadowBlazer3000] I'll spoil it right now, the little girl is Pi from Roots/GU
[forlornhope] lol it's like that in the subs too
[MartAnimE] oh cool
[ShadowBlazer3000] it's a bit hard to pick up on that fact unless you really know the story background
[MartAnimE] some casualties
[Noirlax] and cat is laughing :smile:
[MartAnimE] are the others in her party also in Roots?
[forlornhope] fish sword :p
[ShadowBlazer3000] I don't think so
[MartAnimE] I noticed Kuhn and Atoli lookalikes
[Noirlax] me too
[MartAnimE] they're gonna need a bigger sword :crossed_swords:
[Noirlax] pretty background
[MartAnimE] the graphics have improved :smile:
[Noirlax] yeah higher production values
[ShadowBlazer3000] Bandai Namco really opened up the bank :moneybag:
[forlornhope] za warudo
[MartAnimE] random mean cat
[forlornhope] everybody has microchips in them :v
[ShadowBlazer3000] freaky
[ShadowBlazer3000] welcome to the year 2020 ( I think it's 2020 now)
[Noirlax] The future is coming :v
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh 2022
[ShadowBlazer3000] also as a fun fact IIRC they live in Sapporo
[MartAnimE] glasses is named Yori?
[MartAnimE] and the responsible one is named Eri?
[Noirlax] Aori, Eri?
[ShadowBlazer3000] Iori
[MartAnimE] Iori, got it
[ShadowBlazer3000] and yeah the responsible one is Eri
[Noirlax] loli
[MartAnimE] and the K-ON! one is?
[ShadowBlazer3000] Asumi
[MartAnimE] Asumi is like Yui from K-ON! :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] Asumi plays Sakuya (the Kite avatar) Iori plays Tobias (the Balmung avatar) and Eri plays Mary (the BlackRose avatar)
[forlornhope] lol always get a boot in fishing mini games
[forlornhope] like animal crossing XD
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] is the cat related to that other cat?
[Noirlax] oh no my video is still loading
[ShadowBlazer3000] no the cat is not Macha/Mia
[MartAnimE] pause?
[Noirlax] it's ok keep going
[MartAnimE] ok
[MartAnimE] lol the little girl is boss
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah she's the Guild Master
[MartAnimE] I mean she sounds so authoritarian :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh I think that's the same Iyoten and Asta
[MartAnimE] it's cute
[ShadowBlazer3000] and the goth loli girl is named Shamrock
[MartAnimE] the cat is glitching
[Noirlax] shamrock so irish
[MartAnimE] he must be special?
[ShadowBlazer3000] you'll see
[ShadowBlazer3000] and I mean it you'll see
[ShadowBlazer3000] this isn't another "play the game and find out" ^^;
[MartAnimE] aww the cat runs cute
[MartAnimE] poor cat boy
[forlornhope] creepy
[MartAnimE] it's the underworld :V
[Noirlax] friends save the day :v
[MartAnimE] ending theme for me now
[ShadowBlazer3000] end of episode 1
[ShadowBlazer3000] the ending is by Yuuka Nanri but she's solo on this one this isn't a FJY song
[MartAnimE] interesting
[ShadowBlazer3000] brb a sec
[BeyondTime] Well that was more fun than all of roots...
[forlornhope] brb too. need to get farah some food/water
[MartAnimE] okies
[Noirlax] ok
[MartAnimE] they do a good job at presenting the characters
[MartAnimE] and their dynamics
[MartAnimE] it feels like we've known them for longer
[MartAnimE] but of course that's expected from a 3 episode OVA
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah it's very well paced
[BeyondTime] Who was the narration voice in the preview of the next episode?
[Noirlax] It's good in its action
[ShadowBlazer3000] they have a short amount of time but avoid exposition dumps pitfalls
[Noirlax] SHAMEROCK is Sanae Kobayashi :v
[MartAnimE] also, cool detail about Pi being in this game again
[ShadowBlazer3000] not sure who is narrating the episode preivews
[forlornhope] yeah I think I might rate this higher than roots but still 2 more eps to go
[BeyondTime] Sounds like one of the VA's from Kiddy Grade
[MartAnimE] I like that she's doing more than we've seen in Roots
[BeyondTime] and the cadence of her naration was very similar to that show.
[Noirlax] I feel Quantum is a different type of enjoyment
[MartAnimE] and it's pretty funny to play as that avatar
[ShadowBlazer3000] it might be Sakuya who is played by Kana Hanazawa
[Noirlax] Like it's engaging and fun to watch it's not a character study like Roots was
[Noirlax] Like Murder Princess
[ShadowBlazer3000] and it's fun without a lot of weird subtext looking at you Legend of the Twilight
[forlornhope] I think Roots just felt like setup which isn't as satisfying if you don't play the games
[forlornhope] here they just want to tell a little story all in one go
[forlornhope] hopefully :p
[BeyondTime] Yeah roots gives you no reason to really want to play as that character in the games though.
[ShadowBlazer3000] Shamrock's guild is called Yata Mirror
[ShadowBlazer3000] fittingly enough
[forlornhope] nice :p
[Noirlax] As a piece of art Roots is pretty good for me, as an anime to encourage you to play .hack no not really :smile:
[forlornhope] need to play more gu recode but I want to clear an rpg off my list that I started before that, Ni No Kuni 2
[forlornhope] so sometime :v
[Noirlax] So Madlax plays Shamrock yay but I'm listening to dub.
[MartAnimE] I think I like the characters in Roots better, cuz we spend longer with them, but I don't really feel an urge to compare, they're obviously two very different projects :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] with very different goals
[forlornhope] that's true
[Noirlax] that's true
[Noirlax] and Shamerock was a subconscious pun
[forlornhope] lol
[Noirlax] I liked the episode I wasn't so sure at first but the school part and the in-game stuff later on was well built upon
[Noirlax] :up:
[forlornhope] I joked about it but it kinda does feel like k-on
[Noirlax] .hack//-ON
[MartAnimE] my internet hiccuped
[ShadowBlazer3000] Asumi's English voice is also Nadie's English voice
[MartAnimE] so some of my messages didn't deliver
[Noirlax] cool
[Noirlax] what did you want to say Marta?
[MartAnimE] I was just saying if we were to compare .hack//shows probably would be more fair to compare SIGN and Roots
[Noirlax] yes I think so
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah
[Noirlax] similar length and director
[MartAnimE] Legend of the Twilight also feels like it's going for something a bit different than those two
[Noirlax] This is easier to compare to say Liminality or something non .hack like SAO perhaps?
[MartAnimE] I think Quantum so far is a nice balance of online/offline
[MartAnimE] Liminality is all offline, but I liked it a lot
[Noirlax] me too
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah I like Liminality except episode 3
[forlornhope] liminality was good
[ShadowBlazer3000] really all of Quantum would be like Liminality 4
[ShadowBlazer3000] they're pretty similar in pace and concept
[MartAnimE] ah
[MartAnimE] interesting
[MartAnimE] also, I dunno if you guys saw the preview for the next episode
[MartAnimE] a lot of cameos :smile:
[MartAnimE] from the other .hack// shows
[Noirlax] I saw Ovan
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah it'll make sense in context
[MartAnimE] I saw Shino, Ovan, Tsukasa and I think Aura
[Noirlax] Cool, ready for the next one.
[MartAnimE] ready aswell :koala:
[ShadowBlazer3000] ready
[forlornhope] ready
[BeyondTime] ready

Spoiler: Episode 2 • show

[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[Noirlax] go~!
[forlornhope] go
[MartAnimE] Go~! :pig:
[BeyondTime] go
[Noirlax] That is pretty scary imagery
[MartAnimE] uh-oh
[MartAnimE] not looking good for that little boy
[Noirlax] reminds me of hangings on trees. Oh no Asumi
[MartAnimE] yeah and looks like the two girls might have been data drained
[MartAnimE] oh just one of them
[Kugayama] From the LieN live
[Kugayama] https://imgur.com/AWjIHZD
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh cute!
[MartAnimE] never seen that before, that's cool ^^
[ShadowBlazer3000] LieN is a band btw
[MartAnimE] CC corps does it again :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[forlornhope] cc corps have their own hospitals. how wide spread is this :sweat_smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] very much truth in TV here large corporations having big interests in hospitals
[Noirlax] Disney should have their own RPG soon :smile:
[Kugayama] https://twitter.com/ArthurMarsh2/status/982194589120397315
[MartAnimE] conspiracy :alien:
[ShadowBlazer3000] gotta admire CC Corp is the kind of in universe baddies considering that's the name of a real company that produces the .hack games lol
[Noirlax] lol
[ShadowBlazer3000] that's why they became CC2
[ShadowBlazer3000] CC1 put to many people into comas
[ShadowBlazer3000] jk
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] wow great creatures
[forlornhope] now for the hot springs episode..
[Noirlax] nice hot springs
[ShadowBlazer3000] they make some good games granted I've only played their fighters briefly
[MartAnimE] I love they look more like real animals
[ShadowBlazer3000] well their fighters and .hack games
[Kugayama] CD purchases
[Kugayama] https://imgur.com/1zidtXc
[ShadowBlazer3000] those are nice
[MartAnimE] this shady dude is wearing a Sakisaka kind of hat :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh yeah he is
[Noirlax] shady password business
[MartAnimE] so you gotta wonder, how does one use a computer inside a game :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] the same way any object interaction works
[ShadowBlazer3000] in any game
[Noirlax] you just type on your computer
[MartAnimE] it feels like it's an object in the game, I mean
[MartAnimE] I think one of those pictures was irl Tsukasa
[Noirlax] Even gene info
[Noirlax] wow
[ShadowBlazer3000] her birthday is 4/28/2005
[MartAnimE] was Tsukasa the first person to fall into a coma?
[ShadowBlazer3000] no I don't think so I think there were people before her
[ShadowBlazer3000] there's some manga that are set before SIGN
[MartAnimE] that's Pi right?
[MartAnimE] on the phone
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah that's her
[Noirlax] nice mystery
[MartAnimE] cool we gonna see her in real life!
[Noirlax] :cat:
[MartAnimE] cat kid is pretty cute :cat:
[forlornhope] cg background people XD
[ShadowBlazer3000] CG or rotoscoped maybe
[Noirlax] possibly yeah
[forlornhope] oh ovan's in a coma
[MartAnimE] yeah that's news to me
[forlornhope] or was
[ShadowBlazer3000] I think he was when he disappeared in Roots
[Noirlax] Nice reference
[MartAnimE] ah ok
[MartAnimE] drinking virtual tea :tea:
[Noirlax] tragic events of 2017 :v
[ShadowBlazer3000] so some died
[MartAnimE] is Pi searching for Ovan? Yata?
[ShadowBlazer3000] she's looking for a rogue AI
[ShadowBlazer3000] :dog:  statue
[MartAnimE] doggie
[Noirlax] aww that's kinda mean saying that knowing more than her isn't saying much. Shady dude again.
[forlornhope] looks like a hachiko statue
[MartAnimE] menopoly :smile:
[Noirlax] Menopoly. I missed the hachiko :v
[ShadowBlazer3000] lol
[forlornhope] lol overkill
[Noirlax] angry cat!
[ShadowBlazer3000] Gaspard Cameo
[MartAnimE] I thought it was just the same type of character
[ShadowBlazer3000] it is
[ShadowBlazer3000] just saying
[MartAnimE] I missed a detail
[MartAnimE] who died 7 years ago?
[ShadowBlazer3000] Hermit
[MartAnimE] was it the cat player?
[ShadowBlazer3000] he's been dead all along
[MartAnimE] ok
[MartAnimE] that's what I understood, but wasn't sure
[Noirlax] like Carossea?
[Noirlax] Oh yeah I saw a Gaspard
[MartAnimE] so he's stuck in the game, that sucks :sweat:
[MartAnimE] stuck forever :V
[Noirlax] That was dramatic
[MartAnimE] episode finished for me
[MartAnimE] yeah
[Noirlax] This makes me want to rewatch Liminality too. I like this conspiracy angle
[MartAnimE] yeah the investigation
[Noirlax] I'm not letting anyone put a microchip after this anime :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] it sounds like a bad idea in general :sweat_smile:
[MartAnimE] for pets maybe, for humans it raises up too many ethical issues
[MartAnimE] it reminds me of some episodes of Black Mirror :V
[Noirlax] As if that ever stopped anyone :v
[BeyondTime] There is no truer show for Marta than the X-Files. :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] true :alien:
[Noirlax] The Truth is out there
[MartAnimE] I do highly recommend Black Mirror aswell btw, each episode is a standalone story
[MartAnimE] and they all focus on technology
[ShadowBlazer3000] right it's one of those anthology series that are all the rage these days
[MartAnimE] yeah, I liked it a lot :thumbsup:
[MartAnimE] pretty clever
[Noirlax] Black Mirror and all I think of is Mireille changing her clothes in front of the mirror every morning :P. Heard Black Mirror mirrors some real life stuff
[MartAnimE] ready for more Quantum btw
[Noirlax] China has a citizen score system in the works :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] yeah I've heard :sweat:
[Noirlax] one more minute and I'll be ready
[MartAnimE] okies
[ShadowBlazer3000] brb
[Noirlax] back ready
[Noirlax] I like how they switched from real to online in that meeting
[MartAnimE] I will feed the pets really quick while we're taking a break
[Noirlax] ok
[MartAnimE] ok I'm good now ^^
[Noirlax] The pets got fed :spaghetti:
[MartAnimE] :smile:
[MartAnimE] it is interesting that people can now play the world on mobile devices
[BeyondTime] But did she feed the Jersey Devil she is keeping under the house?
[MartAnimE] so that's what those strange noises I hear at night are :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] lol
[BeyondTime] No that's Adam dreaming about Pasta.
[Noirlax] I don't know how she manages to feed the Jersey Devil, Chupacabra and Nessie.
[Noirlax] I think Adam will like that Twitter account I linked :smile:
[MartAnimE] he might have seen it, he's pretty active on twitter ^^
[Noirlax] Oh I see :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] I often forget it exists :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] me too
[Noirlax] I'm not a phone person
[MartAnimE] but I like to follow Logan :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
[Noirlax] That's one of the best accounts and Chloebot
[MartAnimE] what does Chloebot post?
[Noirlax] Chloe stuff
[ShadowBlazer3000] back
[BeyondTime] wb
[MartAnimE] wb
[Noirlax] https://twitter.com/Chloe_NOIR_bot
[Noirlax] wb
[MartAnimE] oh it's in Japanese :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] I use the translator
[MartAnimE] yeah looks pretty good
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] needs more posts about forks though :fork_and_knife:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] I'm ready btw :smile:
[Noirlax] me too
[forlornhope] ready
[ShadowBlazer3000] ready
[BeyondTime] ready
[Noirlax] Liking Quantum a lot and fares much better than SAO which is of similar vintage imo.

Spoiler: Episode 3 • show

[MartAnimE] Go~! :crab:
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Go~!
[ShadowBlazer3000] go
[BeyondTime] go
[MartAnimE] war :open_mouth:
[ShadowBlazer3000] something similar happen to Atoli in GU where she loses feeling in her hand
[Noirlax] She's got some cute plushies
[MartAnimE] that tiny Japanese room
[ShadowBlazer3000] she has a Chim Sphere plushie
[forlornhope] who's playing hermit now that the original boy died?
[forlornhope] I'm confused
[ShadowBlazer3000] his soul :ghost:
[Noirlax] oh :v
[forlornhope] creepy :v
[MartAnimE] he's a ghost
[MartAnimE] then this means
[forlornhope] I thought a family member or friend could be playing with his account or something
[Noirlax] I guess his biodata is alive
[Noirlax] but his body is dead
[MartAnimE] people can upload themselves to the game and achieve immortality :open_mouth:
[ShadowBlazer3000] pretty much
[MartAnimE] this is the real end game of CC Corp :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] it's the classic sci-fi trope of uploading your consciousness
[MartAnimE] this is where the real money is at
[forlornhope] don't want that kind of immortality :v
[MartAnimE] no, it sounds pretty disturbing
[MartAnimE] but I think many would give it a try
[MartAnimE] great battle
[Noirlax] pretty neat bgs
[MartAnimE] giant monster :thinking:
[ShadowBlazer3000] we found a Colossus
[forlornhope] that can't be good :open_mouth:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] :smile:
[MartAnimE] crest gun huh
[Noirlax] man that was just one shot
[ShadowBlazer3000] Orca
[MartAnimE] ah saw a silver knight XD
[ShadowBlazer3000] and Natsume
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh yeah there was a Silver knight
[Noirlax] Shamrock calls all the shots
[MartAnimE] she seems to be a decent strategist :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] that looks like a heart :heart:
[Noirlax] Asumi so innocnet
[ShadowBlazer3000] these three girls are probably the only characters in the .hack universe who don't have awful parents!
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] awww hug the cat
[Noirlax] aww
[MartAnimE] I think everyone involved is gonna give video games a break after this :sweat_smile:
[Noirlax] FEAR and GTA sounds less traumatising
[MartAnimE] oh some good news ^^
[MartAnimE] lol that cat scene was amusing too
[MartAnimE] nice ending
[Noirlax] Nice 3eps
[MartAnimE] surprisingly happy
[ShadowBlazer3000] her brother is also responsible for the fire at CC Corp which destroyed the original version of The World
[forlornhope] yeah :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] 3eps here better than the 25eps in SAO :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] was expecting something more bittersweet at first
[Noirlax] yeah it seemed to go that way Marta
[MartAnimE] who is Pi's brother?
[BeyondTime] That felt more bee trainy than roots, and it wasn't done by Bee Train.
[Noirlax] oh how so?
[BeyondTime] The twist at the end, and the way it felt.
[BeyondTime] Roots was just too bland to feel like Bee Train.
[MartAnimE] I think it had good focus on the characters
[ShadowBlazer3000] her brother or half brother rather is a man known as Jun Bansyoya
[BeyondTime] It wasn't bad, I didn't hate it like Phantom, but it was bland.
[ShadowBlazer3000] I think most of his story is told in a Japan exclusive story
[ShadowBlazer3000] it was something release with GU but only in Japan
[MartAnimE] there were a lot of technical details that I might have missed or forgotten, but the characters and their relationships feel very genuine
[MartAnimE] touching even
[Noirlax] I see, yeah it was fairly character focused. It probably could have used another episode so the story sinks in more but yeah it worked well for 3 eps
[ShadowBlazer3000] I wish we could get a 12 episode focus on these three
[Noirlax] That would be nice
[forlornhope] yeah 12 would of been nice but think they did well with the time they had
[Noirlax] yeah agreed
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah I get why they went with 3 at that time
[MartAnimE] so no more .hack// GAMES after this? :smile:
[Noirlax] budget constraints?
[MartAnimE] would be cool to play The World R:X
[ShadowBlazer3000] there's Link but that went to PSP so clearly Bandai Namco dialed down things
[forlornhope] ah
[ShadowBlazer3000] GU didn't even get a European release until the remaster
[ShadowBlazer3000] I don't know if it was a flop or not I don't have any data on that
[ShadowBlazer3000] maybe under performed because it came out right as the PS3 came out
[MartAnimE] ah could be
[ShadowBlazer3000] video game numbers are hard to track budgets and grosses aren't as public knowledge as movies are
[Noirlax] It's a shame they didn't do more of this. I felt this .hack is probably more mainstream but done well and appealing.
[MartAnimE] also, I like that any person could watch Quantum without having seen any of the previous .hack// shows
[forlornhope] very stand alone yeah
[BeyondTime] I need to head out and get dinner. Was worth watching this.
[BeyondTime] Have a good night you all.
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh I nearly forgot, Last Recode does feature the Terminal Disc which was Japan only so yeah you'll get some extra content
[ShadowBlazer3000] aww
[forlornhope] ok james. thanks for joining us :smiley:
[MartAnimE] good night James
[Noirlax] okies James bai bai  good night
[MartAnimE] thanks for joining ^^
[MartAnimE] bai bai :dog:
[MartAnimE] ***
[Noirlax] ***
[forlornhope] giving this a 7/10 on mal. had fun with this
[MartAnimE] yeah I think I rated it the same
[forlornhope] think sign is still my favorite .hack though
[Noirlax] I gave it a 9 since it packs pretty well for a 3 ep
[ShadowBlazer3000] I gave it an 8
[Noirlax] but Sign is still the best
[ShadowBlazer3000] I might actually bump it up to 9 now because of how good it looks
[forlornhope] that might be my nostalgia talking though :v
[MartAnimE] well we could always rewatch SIGN again :smile:
[Noirlax] maybe I should check Liminality and I see if I bump that up too.
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] but I am kinda curious in seeing Legend of the Twilight
[Noirlax] There's other BT animes we haven't rewatched yet...
[MartAnimE] even though it might be a little worse :V
[Noirlax] like Yakumo!
[ShadowBlazer3000] in some ways Quantum is like LOT but much better
[ShadowBlazer3000] just meaning it's a bit lighter and faster paced than SIGN or Roots
[forlornhope] rated legend of the twilight the worst on mal 4/10 but can hardly remember it now..
[MartAnimE] I have it on DVD so might save it to watch with everyone here, whenever we get around to it
[forlornhope] had to wake up at weird times to watch it on toonami
[forlornhope] life was suffering when you were an anime fan back then :p
[Noirlax] I like to see LOT
[ShadowBlazer3000] being anime fan is suffering
[MartAnimE] yeah :sweat_smile:
[forlornhope] :smile:
[MartAnimE] any final thoughts on Quantum?
[ShadowBlazer3000] SIGN - 10/10
[ShadowBlazer3000] LOT - 6/10
[ShadowBlazer3000] Roots - 8/10 (though maybe more like a 7.5 but ya know always gotta be whole numbers)
[ShadowBlazer3000] Quantum - 9/10
[ShadowBlazer3000] oh Liminality - 7/10
[ShadowBlazer3000] these are my MAL Scores
[MartAnimE] you are very generous Alex, you always give so many 10s :smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] not much different from giving an A if you ask me
[Noirlax] Hmm for me Roots 8, Quantum 8.5-9, Sign is 9 but probably like 9.4, Liminality 8-8.5
[ShadowBlazer3000] but I haven't given out as many 10s lately
[forlornhope] yeah not as stingy as I am :v
[MartAnimE] I think it's all relative
[Noirlax] I only have two for series and maybe two for movies
[ShadowBlazer3000] that's why I don't give a final score in any of my videos
[forlornhope] looks like I gave 17 anime 10s on mal out of 434 completed
[Noirlax] scores aren't as helpful as what the show is about imo
[forlornhope] so yeah :sweat_smile:
[ShadowBlazer3000] 205 completed as of today
[MartAnimE] I have sixteen 10s
[ShadowBlazer3000] but my mean score is 6.83
[Noirlax] I've only given 4 10s, but I've only watched like 81 and my mean is like 8.02
[Noirlax] you guys watch more and have a wider spread ^^
[MartAnimE] mean score 7.37
[MartAnimE] I watched 443
[MartAnimE] gah need to finish one more :V
[Noirlax] MAL doesn't let me complete Mirai
[MartAnimE] get that sweet 444
[Noirlax] lol
[Noirlax] 444 is bad luck :japan:
[forlornhope] 7.2 here. but anyways .hack//quantam. good show. loved the animation and artwork but music wasn't as good as other .hack titles. story and characters wasn't bad either
[MartAnimE] good thing I'm not Japanese then :smile:
[Noirlax] Asians have tetraphobia
[Noirlax] because 4 is a pun on the word death :stuck_out_tongue:
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] agree on the soundtrack
[ShadowBlazer3000] Quantum is among my favorite of the .hack anime
[MartAnimE] the ending theme was good though
[MartAnimE] the rest of the bgm was just decent, nothing memorable
[Noirlax] I admit I didn't notice the much much
[ShadowBlazer3000] yeah I think it's pretty bland
[Noirlax] maybe I can listen to it again now
[ShadowBlazer3000] I joke about Shadow of Colossus it shares the same composer but his OST for this isn't nearly as good
[MartAnimE] oh cool ^^
[forlornhope] oh really. you wouldn't of known it just watching these episodes
[ShadowBlazer3000] he also did Blade of the Immortal and Hyouge Mono
[Noirlax] oh
[ShadowBlazer3000] his anime OSTs always seem a little flat compared to SOC
[Noirlax] anyone in rewatching BOTI or Mono btw?
[MartAnimE] might save those for forum rewatches
[forlornhope] maybe idk. haven't watched boti yet
[MartAnimE] are we done with Quantum?
[ShadowBlazer3000] one last fun fact
[MartAnimE] sure :dog:
[ShadowBlazer3000] director was Masaki Tachibana who was an episode director on Noir
[MartAnimE] that name sounds familiar
[Noirlax] do you know which episode?
[Noirlax] and that's a fun fact indeed
[ShadowBlazer3000] 2, 7, 13, 18 and 22
[MartAnimE] thanks for that :thumbsup:
[Noirlax] wow 13
[Noirlax] :thumbsup:
[Noirlax] yeah thanks
[MartAnimE] and thanks everyone for joining!
[MartAnimE] another successful rewatch :sunglasses:
[ShadowBlazer3000] -THE END-
[Noirlax] Thanks!
[ShadowBlazer3000] hey...we said -THE END- that means THE END :angry:
[ShadowBlazer3000] jk of course
[MartAnimE] lol
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] ~THE END ~
