Anime Special! - .hack//Legend of the Twilight

Another .hack// sequel. In this one we get to see some of the old characters from the previous series. This time the story revolves about a brother & sister players who won vintage characters from "The World" and started playing the game. Soon after the problems started with practically unkillable monsters, hackers & the game's AI. This was an ok sequel, but the more I watch .hack// the more all the series start to look very alike. Don't get me wrong, they are still interesting and worth watching. Hope the next one I watch will bring some new stuff.
