.hack//G.U. Trilogy RELEASE!!!

"Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine omnipotence; The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, only eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

Possibly the coolest, most random and insane saying I have ever heard, and it is the beginning of the awesome movie .hack//G.U. Trilogy, based off of the video game series. Actually, not 'based off of' but more like 'summarizes with a slight alternate story line' lol. This movie was released late August of 2009 (Yes, just last month!) and it seems almost nobody has even heard of it.. Not even fans of the video game series!

Seriously, this isn't the greatest movie for non-fans of the game. Not only will you not understand most of it, but it is also Japanese voice only, with english subtitles. That bothers some people but to others it shows real anime. The story line will most likely just look like a love-triangle, murder mystery, and plot twist. However, IT.. IS.. GORGEOUS!!! I'd take these graphics over even Final Fantasy Advent Children, though that movie might be more realistic, this movie is based in a video game world, so it's understandable. Seriously, even without High Definition, it looks amazing.

For fans of the game, this is a must-see. Not only do you see some of the past cut scenes re-done in better graphics (Such as Haseo the PKK vs Pkers, and Haseo vs Tri-Edge) you also get to see a much bigger, impressive battle.. Not to spoil it for you of course, but you do get to see what fans are calling "B-st form". And there's bonus features like "Parody Mode" where it seems they took a few regular cut scenes and mixed with the subtitles to add a few jokes, making Haseo look like a major perv, such as joining the G.U. so he can get free membership to porn and get unlimited access to Pi (Girl character) >.>

Seriously, if you don't buy the DVD, at least watch it streaming somewhere.. Though I'll warn you, the major reason to watch is to see the awesomeness of the graphics, and streaming video butchers that.

.hack//G.U. Trilogy gets 4 outa 5 stars!!! Yeah, no perfect score. Sorry, but it's way too rushed. If you've played the games, you'll be pointing out all the things they cut out lol.
