* Based on the CyberConnect2 hit game.
The Movie will be placed in the storyline of each .hack//G.U. games trilogy. The story follows Haseo, a player in the online MMORPG called The World:R2 at first depicted as a PKK (Player Killer Killer) known as the "Terror of Death", a former member of the disbanded Twilight Brigade guild. Haseo encounters Azure Kite (believing him to be Tri-Edge and blaming him for what happened to Shino) but is hopelessly outmatched. Azure Kite easily defeats Haseo and Data Drains him, reducing his level from 133 to 1 and leaving him without any items, weapons, or member addresses. He is left with a mystery on his hands as to the nature of the Data Drain and why Azure Kite is in possession of such a skill.
Eventually Haseo gains the "Avatar" of Skeith. Acquiring the ability to call Skeith and wield his abilities, such as Data Drain. With Skeith as his strength, Haseo begins the quest for a way to save Shino.
He is seen seeking out a PK (Player Killer) known as Tri-Edge, whose victims supposedly are unable to return to The World after he PKs them. Haseo's friend, Shino, was attacked six months prior to the events of the game by Tri-Edge, and the player herself, Shino Nanao, was left in a coma.

Even though the story really different with the game, it still a Good watch
for fans

Unfortunately, this movie is really butchered. The plot is really "partial" compared to the games trilogy, missing a lot of plots, like Sakaki's scheme, etc, which were essential to the plot. So then, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who had play the games.

A bit of a disappointment for me, for I found the animation a bit cheap. Still! Watch it if you liked Roots of if there was something that you didn't understand. This'll explain things a little.
must see

I really liked this movie. It was a good addition for the video game. It's a recap of the important thing you do in the game. I suggest playing all of them before watching it. The CGI was really well made. One of my favorite but don't watch it if you haven't played the game!

Awesome animation, exellent battle scenes plus the feeling that all of this happens in a virtual world. Its totally worth to watch the averange .hack//Roots series just so you can watch this one.

After finishing ROOTs, all three games, and even Returner, I picked up Trilogy in many hopes that it would continue to sate my love for both the second .Hack project and.Hack overall.
I'm not so sure if it did or didn't...
In short.
For those who have kept up with the entire G.U project:
I felt rather let down and even rather irritated at just how much the movie deviated from the games. It wasn't as if they simply left out many aspects or that they scrambled a few events, all that was done, I think, actually okay. However, by the time you hit the second half of the movie, it wasn't even a matter of taking in, taking out, and scrambling, but completely changing the ending. And even if the completely different ending was good, some of it seemed to contradict with facts presented in the game that I found very hard to swallow. Ultimately, the first half of the movie I felt was done extremely well as it followed the game quite well, but by the halfway point....I'm not so sure how fans will accept it.
For those who have no kept up with G.U project:
I suppose as I am not one of these it can vary, but overall I feel that someone who has not kept up with the series will not understand many of the aspects of the movie.The movie is quite fast paced, particularly in the first half, making many screen references to events and characters in the game that would clearly make sense to a fan, even if these references are barely 5 seconds, but would most likely strike a random viewer as sloppy, confusing, and disorderly.
As for each individual aspect of the movie...
ANIMATION
It's hard to say. The background and environment CGI felt very beautifullly done, namely the cathedral. But the characters themselves, it's hard to say. The CGI for their bodies, particularly the hands, are very smooth and quite pleasing. However when it came to facial features, sometimes the mouth seemed so childishly done that they were nothing short of slits without lips on the face, and other times slits with sloppily done overly exaggerated lips. Teeth on a whole looked extremely disproportionate and the eyes had an annoying tendency to because extremely exaggerated to the point it's hard to take the character seriously, particularly the main Haseo. On a whole, the animation is very flowing and smooth except for the face that had a bad tendency to mutate in times of extreme emotion.
SOUND
The file I had had very low and muffled sound so it's hard to say but I felt the background music was only so-so which was disappointing, considering the beautiful wide-range repertoire in the GU games that made it so enjoyable. Only a few songs from the games returned and felt as if they were remixed in a way that reduced the quality of the music. However, for those of you who enjoyed Tomo Mitani's themes for the games will not be let down by her new song in Trilogy, "Liar's Smile". Undoubtly, this piece alone probably saved the sound score by several points.
As for the voice acting, I being used to the english voices, had trouble adjusting to Haseo. In all personal opinion, I felt that the VA was simply trying far too hard and it made Haseo sound superficial, fake, and forced several times, particularly his growls and yells. Other than he, the voice acting is overall pretty good. Do not expect any amazing voices (although I did enjoy Atoli) but they weren't half bad. Except Haseo.
STORY
I suppose as a standalone, Trilogy has a somewhat decent story. The story of net drama of a teenage boy who loses the girl he has feelings for and ends up into a wild rage to ring her back, to the point he has become almost insane, only to be brought back by the soft touch of a second girl. But many aspects of the movie I felt were somewhat cheesy and only so-so, namely in the second half of the movie. Throughout the first half, I had good expectations, particularly through the romance portions, which were very sweet and satisfying for any romance lovers (players of FFX might find the scene quite reminiscent). But it stops after there and then enters a realm that's hard to swallow for anyone who dislikes overly cliche series.
Those of you who have played the game, all I can say is do not expect the game to be in the second half of the movie. Only the very end of game 2 is in Trilogy and quite altered (however I liked this alteration) and the entirety of game 3 was either taken out or butchered to the point it was hardly recognizable. And I did not like B-st Form...
CHARACTER
Possibly the only thing I really enjoyed. The characters somehow manage to stay true to their original counterparts (even if some weren't even given the chance to prove it such as Kuhn). However, they may be a slight bit cliched, I felt they served their part well in the story. My only tick is the tremendous lack of development and screentime for any character not Haseo, Atoli, and perhaps maybe Ovan. Some seemed to be there just to be there. But this movie being a summery of three games, I suppose that is to be expected. Haseo and Atoli play well enough as mains, and Ovan a good "villain" of sorts.
VALUE
Overall, it wasn't BAD. It just wasn't great either... Clearly the producers seemed to start out with a good idea in mind, but then halfway through, it just seemed like they gave up and threw the towel. I thoroughly enjoyed the first half, it was very good and beyond my expectations then. It was only afterwards I even felt that the games were ruined for me. I'm seriously considering splitting the movie in half and keeping only the first half haha... By that, yes, I know I will probably pull out the movie just to watch the first half whenever I feel like revisiting the games but simply don't want to play through the entire thing or to simply enjoy the sweet romance between Haseo and Atoli (though I warn anyone who have strong disagreements about this pairing, the movie sticks with the official pairing, not any of the suggested ones). But anything afterward, I would delete if I can.
ENJOYMENT
Biased probably. Like stated earlier, I felt that by the time I finished, the games had been completely ruined by the rather absurd latter half. I think I would've been completely happy just watching the first half and then exiting the file right there and then. Personally, I would advise any extreme fan to do the same.
I'm not so sure if it did or didn't...
