.hack// sign = noir

[blind lurker]

The thought came to mind when i went to CC2's art page. There was this scary picture of Sora in drag as Chloe of Noir (o_o).

At the same time, however, it sort of made sense. Sora isn't as serious as Chloe, but they do share the expertise with knives. Tsukasa is Kirika, sharing the amnesia and the lost name. This can further support the Sora-Chloe comparison because:

[spoiler]Sora, in the series, wanted to be Tsukasa's friend.[/spoiler]

That leaves Mireille and Altena. Subaru being Mireille is arguable, but something in me insists that Aura fits the bill better. Altena could be Morgana.

Eh, the Wizard of Oz theory was alot better.

That's actually a really interesting comparison! I've only seen the first...two episodes of Noir, but I try to read summaries. I never really thought about that before...

I think that .hack//SIGN is a little like Haibane REnmei and Serial Experiments Lain. It's like Haibane because...there are some happy parts, and others are just really sad and you want to cry..And there are friendships in both that (In my weird opinion) are hard to keep, but they do anuway...like bittersweet friendships...

And with Lain....The whole "Wired" thing really reminds me of .hack//SIGN....Tsukasa can't log out. He's trapped and somehow living in the game. Kinda like in Lain, when someone dies, they just "Abandon their flesh" and go and live in THe Wired...and there's a "God" in both, and "Knights"....even if that is all weird.

ok, heh...insanity in a box. I'll stop rambling *walks off*

[spoiler]I don't think he was serious. He said lets be friends in the last episode but I don't think he really meant it. He just wanted Tsukasa to leave so Morgana couldnt have aura. Sora doesn't like Morgana[/spoiler]

[Sora]

Sora has said he wanted to be friends with Tsukasa since he first heard about him. He wanted to be friends with him because, face it, nifty stuff happens around Tsukasa. Tsukasa is special, and Sora wants a part of that.

[spoiler] He meant what he said about wanting to be friends with Tsukasa in the last episode. [/spoiler]

Oh, and for some reason the spoiler tag isn't working in anyone's posts.. need to look into that.

Actually... *eyes his theme* Hm. Maybe it's just my BBoard theme.

Why exactly is that a spoiler?

[spoiler]BTW MIMIRU AND BEAR WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH TSUKASA TOO OMG[/spoiler]

Anyway....hack//SIGN is nothing like Serial Experiments Lain (or Noir for that matter). Lain was a muddled, aimless, pretentious exercise in materialism; .hack//SIGN is a slightly pretentious (notice how ordinary gamers speak like Shakespeare) exercise in character study.[/spoiler]

You didn't like Serial Experiments Lain??

Well, for anyone that didn't like Lain, please remember: the word "experiments" is in the title for a reason.

Please don't judge it too harshly.

In my opinion:

experiments > old formulas

Why exactly is that a spoiler?

It became a spoiler due to the references to the last episode. That is all.

Try to come across as a tolerable conversationalist, too, or some readjustment will be in order -_-

That goes for the rest of you, too. I can only take so much sarcasm in a day, and I've been moderating the board for an hour. I'm just about spent.
