Anime Rebirth

Review - .hack//G.U. Returner

Review by Roriconfan

Prologue
I don’t like repeating myself, so it is wise to read my SIGN and ROOTS reviews before starting with this one.

Enjoyment & Value: 3
Don’t bother watching this if you didn’t like ROOTS (I didn’t). The plot is exactly like in ROOTS. All talking, no fighting, no real meaning. And it lasts too little to make a point. Plus, this title is just a teaser for buying the games, so it felt only like marketing propaganda.

Animation: 8
Same as in SIGN.

Sound: 8
Same as in ROOTS.

Characters & Story: 2
If you felt the characters and the story in ROOTS were uninteresting, you will reconsider after watching this one. They gather, they talk, they find a monster, they “try” to fight it and it’s over. Besides viewing Haseo’s new look, there is nothing else to expect. Nothing! NOTHING!!!

Verdict
The accused is found … GUILTY! … of becoming more boring than he already was.
