Bear is a novelist I believe.

kulaguy can probably go into more depth with that though, I'm tired lol.

Well in 'The Eve' in .hack//SIGN
It shows him writing some novel, (or atleast the finished rough draft)
Anyway, they go on to talk about this one book, (the same book bear had a rough draft copy of) and he was all... "Not himself"

So yeah I think it's true.

Though, he didn't translate all of Analysis since he only knows a bit of Japanese and translating Maha's page took him a while. He gave away Analysis to a friend but he said he'll be getting scans up of Analysis as soon as he can get a scanner. I really can't wait to see Terajima Ryouko's page.

What's Analysis exactly? I haven't heard of a .hack-related item like that.

yeah but if people dont want spoilers than they should watch what they read. i mean like watching out for clues of something they dont want to know yet. or at least thats just me.

kulaguy wrote:.hack//Analysis is an info book on .hack. It's only in Japanese obviously. From what Souten tells me, there's a page for each character, even the NPCs in the Games and the 4 girls Tsukasa's Guardian beat up, though most likely the 4 girls will be on one page together. But it doesn't tell everybody's real name or real selves just a few not known, like Tsukasa and Subaru.

Wow, that's pretty facinating. Me being an addict on stuff like that, I'd love it if he or someone else could hook us up with more bio/history translations from there like he did with Mia's. :)

I'm a born and raised Japanese. I could be of some help.

Bear is a novelist. I don't really see that that is a spoiler. In one episode, it shows him with a book called Annwyn by Ryo Sakuma and I think later, BT and Crim begin talking about the book. I'm not completely sure since I haven't seen SIGN in a while

Not only that, but it's a MANUSCRIPT! If you look closely, it doesn't even have a proper binding. It's just a bunch of sheets of printer paper stacked together. An average fan of a book wouldn't be able to his hands on it.

Ahh, thanks for the Macha history lesson. I haven't played all the games through, so I was a bit confused when Tsukasa gave Mia the grass and called her Macha.

Do you think I could have this shipped to the US?

It does, Kulaguy.

Looks like it's 1200 yen to ship to the US... ),:

1200 base charge plus 300 per item.

Yeah, that too.

If I end up getting it, I'll scan pages and post them online. Maybe you can help translate, Shinsou? But, knowing you, you probably already have it.

I believe that's $120 or something -_- I'm not sure...I'm horrible at math...I would buy it...but I can't read japanese @_@ and I'm currently broke T_T although just simply staring at the wondrous .hack item would be great ^o^ looking at the pictures (if there are any)...

Maha isn't all that evil. She saves Tsukasa in the 2nd last episode.
