It's a full length episode, believe it or not, with openings and endings and all of that.

Make sure you don't fast forward through the opening and endings though ^-^ I hear it's worth it to sit through both of them.

I heard they were the same as the //SIGN openings...only with superdeformed characters....I might consider paying good money to see that. *sigh* Oh well, I hope its as funny as SD Gundam.

O lord no! I just saw a commercial for SD gundam and i'm like...

Uh ... a freaky thought here ... some of the ads for GIFT *look* like Helba's not, um, wearing very much *up top.* In the opening Bear, Tsukasa, Mimiru, Subaru, and BT all have their clothes dissolve. In the closing Subaru is nude but backlit so nothing is visible. If GIFT throws out all the *other* rules, d'you think it would shy away from frontal nudity? (Freaks out completely) I've always wondered about those segments, because .hack isn't really that big on fanservice. Maybe they'll be making up for lost time?

i think one of the shots that reki provided in one of his old updates showed that helba indeed was not wearing anything frontal-wise.

Yeah, Reki's summary about proved that one ... (freaks out completely). I don't *like* fanservice. Oh my .hack, what have they done to you? (Cries) Thank the Global Standard Diety it's not canon.

The time period of Gift is never defined. It could be canon.

(Cries louder and reaches for a big scary knife) Say it ain't so!

Sora · Post by **Sora** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 6:44 pm

Well, that's true, Rhyste.

It's not so plot-wise outlandish that it couldn't happen. The story, however, may be represented in such a freakishly spastic way that we wouldn't believe it's true.

But timewise, it takes place after the games, since Bear comments to Orca that it doesn't seem fair that he gets to come in only at the end of things.

And it may be akin to the stylistic changes we see between //Udeden and //SIGN. Hmmmmmmm... omoshiroi ~.~a

As far as the fanservice goes, like the rest of the episode, none of it's serious. But you have to keep in mind two things. One, this is from CC2. They're CRACKED. They just are.

Two, this is an episode -for the fans- of .hack. Thus, logically, -FANservice- would be in it. There isn't enough to be afraid of, and again, none of it is serious, so lighten up :P

Besides who wants Fanservice that looks all...weird looking...

Sora · Post by **Sora** » Sat Aug 23, 2003 9:42 pm

The real fanservice is actually good looking. You get this A) when the naked girls walk by in the onsen, distracting Bear and Orca, and B) In the end sequence, there is a panning shot of Mimiru, Subaru, and BT in the onsen with the demented SD Ginkan, Sora, and probably Krim and Balmung looking on (the quality of my version makes it hard to tell.)
