Argh...

Post by Kama »

When does //SIGN make some actually useful plot movement and development?
I wish they had made it shorter, 15 episodes maybe because 15 episodes is the only number of episode with some development.

... I really disagree... a lot....

sign is completely plot driven.... and when there isn't a whole lot of plot movement in an episode, there's usually something that sheds some light on tsukasa's past or talks about the key of the twilight....

It was originally planned as 13 episodes but they stretched it because of popularity. That is why in many eps little or nothin g happens

In my opinion,the plot doesnt start to get more involved or rather pick up story wise is with the Twilight Eye,which is the episode coming this weekend.Basically when I first saw it,yeah,it was slow,but the more I kept watching it,you get more and more info later on about Tsukasa and along with other things.But mainly,Twilight Eye and beyond are my fav episodes.

That's because there is a lot of character development, which tends to be rare in the anime CN shows. DBZ being an excellent example of bad character development.

Sure, there's SOME. But in .hack//SIGN, it's almost all plot, very little action, except in the first and last few episodes.

Where could anyone get the idea that .hack//sign is not plot driven? How else could a series stay on the air?

Well, you do have shows like Teletubbies and Barney...

Not to mention Bugs Bunny, Loony Toons, Animaniacs...

streeeeeching it out and not explaning everything in the first episode or so, the way they do is what makes //SIGN so great. although i've only seen 6 episodes. :evil: :cry: :oops: :?

Only having 11-13 episodes (whatever) is what made .hack//Legend of the Twlight's Bracelet so _baad._ The ending was horrible!

I seriously doubt that more episodes would've made .hack//UdeDen's anime suck. The manga isn't over, but thank effing god the Anime is.
