Sure enough, my fears were right - the show's focus is primarily on the teenagers and their lives, with PSO2 thrown in.
PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 GENRES SERIES
Right from the very beginning when the series was unveiled in preview trailers, I knew this wasn't going to end well. Still, it could be interesting to see if the story of Phantasy Star Online suddenly takes a turn for the unexpected mid-way through the season This isn't much to go on but all the same I wonder, is this a hint at something more mysterious happening in the anime's universe?Īt this point I'm not expecting Dark Falz (a Satan like creature from Phantasy Star) to pop-up in the anime's physical world, outside the game. What these girls have to say is actually quite interesting, they make reference to recent severe accidents in the area but observe that no one was hurt in the incidents and that no first-responders where present either. In perusing different parts of the first episode again there's this one scene where three girls are having a conversation, at the same time as the protagonist is having an internal monologue. there might be something else going on here as well. If nothing else the interactions between the main cast of characters will be key to moving the story forward, watching these people go through character arcs and overcome shared challenged may prove to be the decisive factor as to whether Phantasy Star Online 2 will succeed as an anime. So then, what to make of Phantasy Star Online 2 - the anime? A show about people playing an MMORPG that actually exists in the present day. As is fitting for an RPG, Phantasy Star Online always had an interesting story, where the game was as much about the story, discovering the truth behind what happened to the world of Ragol when all of its colonists where wiped-out in mysterious explosion, as the interactions between the players themselves in virtual world. We've come a long way since 2000, when the original Phantasy Star Online was released on the Dreamcast the first MMO for a series with its roots going all the way back to 1987, with the release of Phantasy Star on the 8-bit Sega Master System.
I suppose i'll watch a few more episodes.
PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 GENRES PLUS
Plus we've already got some new character lurking at the edge of things. Certainly seems a lot more awkward ingame. And also plays as some kind of robot ingame who helps out the MC in the process. The Student council president seems to be miss perfect for the time being, sure to have some defects or some such. Which can easily cause problems if it gets too bogged down in exposition and the likes. But it certainly also makes this show a bit of an advert. I suppose that is a bit different from them just being sucked into the game. But also makes for a very drab beginning and makes it hard to care about him.Īnd somehow he becomes vice president of the student council and has to play this game. Suppose that is to make him an audience insert. Main character seems rather void of much personality. We get introduced to the characters and such. A slow start to an episode i am not so sure what to say about.
