.Hack//Dusk, Powerpuff Girls for anime lovers?!

[TwinBladerRaven]

I noticed something about the way that .Hack//Dusk is drawn. It seems like they have big eyes and little bodies, with the exception of the adult characters. It reminds me of Powerpuff Girls. I just can't get used to the way they look, it sorta creeps me out and wouldn't it be better if they just redid it the way .Hack//Sign looked, but what's YOUR opinion?

[The searcher of souls]

Must cartoons have people with a head as big or twice as big as thier body.Same with thier eyes.

[TwinBladerRaven]

True but, it just really doesn't fit in with the other .Hack//Series. In Hack//Sign everything was depressing and serious, and in the games the mood started to get killed, but everything is so happy happy joy joy with Hack//Dusk

who knows cause i sure as heck don't

It's because their audiences they're supposed to appeal to are different.

Way to spam, spam pirate.
In most styles, anime characters have big eyes.. It's been a legendary thing since "Robo-boy" or "Rocket-boy" or whatever it was called, back in the 50's.
it was a drawing trend that caught on, & alot of Cartoon Networks new shows seem to be anime-inspired/induced.

[Cobweb]

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Really, American animation seems to be consciously mimicking anime these days. Or maybe the two or merging ... either way, I'm not really certain how I feel about it.

Even DC & Marvel comics are coming out with "manga edition" comics.... & have you ever seen that "Teen Titans" Show... They're so deffinetly copying anime.. >>;;

[Cobweb]

And yet I've never seen a Japanese character in an American show ... I wonder what *that* could mean? (Derisive snort) We can handle invading aliens, but not anyone from further away than England.

Yeah, Marvel even came out with a pretty stupid mangaverse almost a year back. Hey you can be influenced by an art style, but don't flat-out copy it just for $$$.

Only american toon that makes the japs justice is Samurai Jack, just because it has some of the best action sequences...ever.

Back on topic....

I find Dusk also quite traumatizing for the .hack series, everything being so serious and "c00l" and then changing to some hippy's dream. Heck i bet in dusk that aromatic grass myth would be true, if u catch my flow...

[MeultimaSama]

Random man: He mentioned AROMATIC GRASS!!! *Points at RayJNT*

*Men in white coats appear outta nowhere*

*A shout through the air: GET HIM!!!!
The men in white clothes jump JNT*

c_c; Whoa. *Slowly walks away*

[TwinBladerRaven]

I wonder what would they do if there was a .Hack//Game anime, would it be like Dusk or Sign? o.O *Shudder* And about the American Manga, I have ONE thing to say... Jimmy Neutron the Manga hits stores... that is so friggin creepy it isn't funny... well a little.

[CRtwenty]

I heard a rumour of a .hack//game manga... but anyway, I'd imagine that it'd be in the //SIGN style, though there would probably be a few more lighthearted moments in it. At least in the beginning... once you get around to plot in //OUTBREAK and to a lesser extent //MUTATION the thing gets much more serious...

Though if they included Piros there'd definatly be quite a few humorous scenes...

[Rubedo]

I heard a rumour of a .hack//game manga.

It isn't going to be a manga. It's going to be a novel.
It will be telling the story of the games from BlackRose's point of view.
You can see some art from it on CC's site.

*looks at TwinBladerRaven sig*
Hmmmm..... You see that little button in the corner of my sig? Click it. -_-;;
