Hey, someone uploaded the opening video on Youtube. You can find it at

It's a pretty good video. I just don't like the way they designed Haseo, Shino, and Ovan. But, the song is really good.

This is a very intriguing video, particularly one scene which has me very excited.

After the scene when Tri-Edge appears, we see Haseo standing and staring up at him. If you pause here and look at his shadow, you can clearly see that it is Sora's silhouette.

That certainly raises a number of questions.

I can see what Umbra means actually... click the thumbnail for a full size pic.

Look closely, the shadow has extra 'claw' like bits... the one Haseo has on his left hand is the wrong way round, and there's nothing at all on his left. Same with the 'bars' between his body and wrists, you could argue Haseo has one but definitely not both. I won't jump to assuming it's Sora until I can find a good pic of him (or dig out my SIGN DVDs) but it seems a bit too odd to just be Haseo's shadow.

Meh, I don't think so. The weapon on his back and his hands form the "claws;" the spike-like shapes in the shadow aren't part of his hands/wrists/arms in the first place; it's whatever's on his back. Doesn't really make me think "OMG SORA!!1" Besides, the edges of what would be the blades in the shadow aren't completely straight and smooth, but rigid because of his hands.

My mistake, the silhouette isn't as clear in the video as it is in the screenshot, and it is clearly Haseo's shadow in that screenshot.

Well, this is rather embarrassing. -_-' Forget I ever mentioned anything.

so far it looks like the anime is turning out rather nicely and the song isn't that bad, I just hope the bgm is still of the same quality as songs like "Bear" & "Grandpa's violin" from the original series

There something in the vid that caught my eye. what does the .hack Conglomerate mean?

SnowManZero · Post by **SnowManZero** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 10:26 pm

.hack conglomerate is a fancy way of saying that it's from the dothack industry.

Not bad. I liked it but I was wondering it looked like it said dothackconglomerant. I couldn't see it very well.

I prefered the other name myself, but it doesn't really matter I suppose.

Over the Keel Mountain,
Nears an ape with human speech,
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot
Accept it - you cannot
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name.

Well.... I guess the ape has appeared...
