That part was hilarious.

It's almost like the show is one big excuse to show off how pretty their backgrounds can be along with the awesome soundtrack. Wish they would make it a series with less episodes so it doesn't go as slow as it's been. =\

On the other hand, we had the first sign of THE COMING OF TRI-EDGE. It was badass. I hope Tri-Edge is badass anyway.

I bet everything I have that she'll be one of Tri-Edge's victims along with her "master" since they don't show up in the game (as far as I know).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Come on! You can't deny Tri-Edge doesn't look cool in those 0.5 seconds he's shown in each episode! Totally worth watching for, right? Right?

Bets 0.5 seconds ever, by the way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Seriously, what's the deal. Stop teasing us with glimpses of Tri-Edge.

I also wonder what happened to the player Ovan, but... he's just probably busy trying to break free.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, episode 10. It sounded like episode 11 to me (which is out by the way). Guess all the episodes look alike to me by now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So Shino went from emo to goth? Works for me. She looks cooler in black.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Episode 13 definitely rocked. Although, I'm getting such a LOST vibe with all the questions and more questions about the show as the episodes go by.

Spoiler:

So... it turns out Tabby liked Shino? As in, liked liked? Huh. Good twist.. that it was hinted at before, but I thought it was silly subtext.

Tri-Edge! Finally getting some action! YAY. I didn't know Shino got DD/PKed in the show, took me by surprise. Guess now I know what makes Haseo change until the games start. Speaking of Tri-Edge, what was he doing before that scene? Was he fixing the intarweb? Or just using come code to call Shino?

Either way, I'm hoping that things will pick up now after what happened. Wonder if they'll change the opening now with all the character changes.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Does that mean that Tri-Edge is just a program that protects The World in some way then? Makes sense considering he has Kite's image. In fact, if this is the case, I think the games will be like the first .Hack games and the Epitaph, but reversed. The "good" guys will play The Wave (all the main characters are named after the phases) while the "bad" guys (Tri-Edge and... company?) will play the Twilight Dragon or whatever was the hero in the Epitaph.

Uh oh, then the player's main objective in the games will be to destroy The World so it doesn't hurt anyone else ever again.

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

I wonder why we bother to use Spoiler tags, it's just us talking in here.

Anyway, what you said could work. Maybe he's trying to purge The World of all foreign data.

Most amazing jew boots

Episode 14 is out. Lazy bastards didn't change the opening, unsurprisingly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

Yeah, they pretty much said the rumor was already on the BBS. And I suppose he was named after his three-slices mark he leaves behind.

That new character: Subaru/Tsukasa? She made the same "hi" hand gesture as they did when they met each other offline. Either way, it could be some old character, seeing as how she was talking about what the old version was like.

How ya doing, buddy?

Spoiler:

No, I'm not talking about the name. I know it's not the same. Doesn't matter. I only meant the way she greeted Pai. You can't tell me they didn't show that on purpose.
