And with that we're back to stuff I already owned!

.hack/Legend of the Twilight Vol. 3/3

We all came back together and even brought in some of the OGs for a big never-give-up battle with some face turns and stuff. Would have had a bigger impact probably if I hadn't taken, what, four months off? But a solid shounen conclusion nonetheless. Big volume with tons of omake things afterwards.
Overall rating: 8/10
Kinda paint-by-numbers, but it came before a lot of series that did similar things, so can't really hold that against it. Executed fairly well, art's to my taste. Didn't hold up super great, in no small part because I got a lot older and the fanservice characters didn't.

.hack/XXXX, Vol. 1
This covers the original games, I guess, making it a weird sorta prequel to Legend of the Twilight. I don't know how many volumes there were, but the first one already covers a lot farther than I ever got. (I got stuck on I think the final dungeon of the first game? IIRC everything was suddenly immune to physical damage and I didn't have the magic resources or patience to deal with it) Got a bit confusing because they kept jumping around with flashbacks and such, but still did its job and got me interested to see where it was going. Which is kinda unfortunate because .hack and its fifty million constituent entries just kinda dropped off the planet entirely years ago. Maybe I'll watch some Let's Plays in the Tompic instead! (cross promotion woooo)
My rating: 7/10
Bit more interesting than Legend of the Twilight I think, but doesn't have the nostalgia goggles going for it, nor the rest of the story available, so I don't think it'll really stick with me at all.

Real update later today! Theoretically.
