Legend of the twillight

[DeadParrot]

Anyone know how many discs there will be? Is it just the one or is it a series?

[SpiderVirus]

Legend of the Twilight is the Manga Comic Books set 5 years after the game
There are 2 books out now, 3rd comes out in August

There is a TV Series of it but it is known as DUSK or some Japanese name.

About the Series:

***** Spoiler *****

Its set with Shugo and his sister that win the Kite and Black Rose character models because Black Rose and Kite havent been on since the Twilight Incident (The Games) And Auro gets in touch and the problems start all over again. It includes alot of them researching about the game, so it could contain some spoilers if you watch/read it before completing the games

***** End of Spoiler *****

Hope that helps

I was thinking about the DVDs. I've just seen the one advertised, but it hasn't come out yet.

[Mookine2002]

None of them have come out in England yet, (I think...). They should soon though. Someone tell me if i'm giving out wrong information.

[Shadow]

if referin to sign dvds then as mentioned elsewhere vol 1 and 2 are out tomorra, not certain on vol2 but spider says it does and i trust thats rite

[SpiderVirus]

DUSK Dvd's i await you, and i got the whole of SIGN on VCD :D:D:D:D

hehe, wiked so far, but could be abit poor on the dvd with the limited episodes a disk, but ive seen first 3 so far and am in love, and i think Hidden Forbidden Holyground is in it.

But im not possitive

Ken

[DeadParrot]

Det first Dusk/Legend... is out in the US 11.april (25.april for the limited edition art box thing), but it's the only one I've found.

[SpiderVirus]

all i know is i dont recomend seeing it until after you have seen SIGN and played the games, its set 5 years after the game, and what i have seen and read so far contains many spoilers for the game, which is on reason im glad the 3rd book isnt coming out until after the 4th game, but i love reading it i want it sooner lol

Ken

[rpgmasterjayo]

They might be released in England but not in the Netherlands where I live.(wich is a shame) I'd like it if more stuff like anime and videogames would be released in the Netherlands/Europe.(most of all anime series don't get broadcasted here alot)

[Kai]

How come .hack infection is the first ive herd of any of this.

[SpiderVirus]

it isnt popular in Europe

the series were on in America years ago, but not in UK, its only coming to UK because of the Game

the closest to TV you'll get is on Sci Fi Channel, im keeping my eyes open, i'll let anyone know who wants it when i find something

Ken

Thanks for the warning. I was just about to buy the two books and order the first disc, but now I'll order the 6th SIGN insted.

[SpiderVirus]

I have the books and havent finished the games or seen all of sign (only on episode 12 atm)

But they do contain spoilers, i dont mind it, but if you dont want to spoil it, Sign, then Games, then Dusk/Books
If you dont mind, they are all excellent stories so far :D

Ken

[DeadParrot]

I couldn't help it. I picked up the first dusk book today... Maybe it I read it really really slooooow..... Nah.

[rpgmasterjayo]

Where can you buy the dusk books? Should I look in the bookstore?

[DeadParrot]

I bought mine at one of my local animé dealers, in English, but you can get them online.

[rpgmasterjayo]

well in the Netherlands they aren't that well known and anime is labled like being pokemon(alot don't even know that) so getting anime here is really hard so if I want to buy it I'll probably need to buy it of a store online and have it sent here.

[DeadParrot]

They have it at amason.com and ebay.com. Didn't check the british sites.

[rpgmasterjayo]

well they're amerikan so that's a little far.

[DeadParrot]

What about ordering from the u.k.? They have them at amazon.co.uk

[rpgmasterjayo]

that might be an option, I'll have a look there.

[SpiderVirus]

They're imports from America

the easiest places are 'Borders' as they import most American Book and have a HUGE Graphic Novel section, or i used Waterstones to order the second book, i got the ISBN off Amazon

Ken

[Shingz]

I don't get the anime i get the manga. I get the american ones imported. They have way more realeased over there...

[SpiderVirus]

America is bigger on the manga front than we are, but either way only the first 2 legend of the twilight books are out, the american 3rd comes out in August, so we have to wait till then

there is no confirmed English version being made, if i findout anything though, i'll let you know

Ken

[Shingz]

Kool. The only english Anime .hack ive seen is the liminality which comes with the games...

Do u know, how many books will come out?
I hope it'll be more than 3 ;)
______________

@ all:
Who do you like in the first book most (on of the charas :D )

(only in the first, 'cause theres no second released in Germany -.-)

[Shingz]

Hmmm...
Im not sure but im guessing its gonna be more than 3.

I hope , that you're right :o
But I think it must be more than ... hmmm... seven / eight, 'cause the Story is complex.... (maybe not, but if you read mangas (<- u say Manga in english:confused: ) like Dragon Ball Z, which has 42 books and isn't as complex as .hack ... so you will think it's complex ;) )

Well... well :D
Somebody out there who now how many books will be released until we know 'THE LAST MYSTERY'

good night guys :)
(Well... I'm not going to sleep so early, but I will do something without using the computer ^^)

[Waveapprentice]

I hate living in Denmark. We are so dimunitive, and unknown, so we dont get all the good stuff. We´ll have to buy anime things, and the like, from the net. We have a few stores, which sell some mangas and animes, but the prices are, to quote one of my favorite bands: Slipknot, SIC! I can´t wait to get away from this dumb! :mad:

[DeadParrot]

It's pretty much the same situation in Norway. There's 2 stores that sell manga, Avalon and Outland, and only one that sells animé at an ok price, Videonova, but they don't have the best selection. I order most of my animé from a Danish internetsite called dvdstrax.com. They import from the UK and US. They do have "Legend og the twilight"

[Hogso]

Quick question about the //Legend of the Twilight manga - are they by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto? I know he designed a lot of the characters, but does he do the .hack manga as well?
I was really impressed by his version of events for the Evangelion manga, which he did the story for as well.

[Page]

*goes to check the cover*
The art is done by Rei Izumi and the story is written by Tatsuya Hamazki.

[DeadParrot]

Just got the first Legend animé. Not as funny as the manga, but not bad. Stay away from the soundtrack though.

[Hogso]

Has anyone else heard that Vol 3 of the manga has been delayed? I heard that the japanese magazine that was running the series in it stopped printing it for a while, so Vol 3 has had a delayed translation, etc. and is now released on :
November 9th 2004 :(

BTW, What is the best reliable place I can order the mangas from online? I ordered them about a month ago on amazon, and I got an e-mail today to allow another 2 weeks for Vol 1. :( >>> :mad:

[DeadParrot]

I don't know, but I've heard that vol 2 is difficult to get. Sold out at the distibutor.

[Page]

Amazon are pretty reliable in my experience. It just might not be in stock at the moment; I ordered mine about a month ago as well and got them within a few days.

But I hope you're wrong about vol 3 being delayed, I thought the original date for release was far enough away. :(

[Hogso]

Heres the link : http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?page=product&productid=2731
Judge for yourself, but TokyoPop is pretty reliable...
Also, if you click on 'Manga Preview' there are some scans from one of them. It might be Vol 3, but I dont know, as I am STILL waiting for Vols 1+2 :mad:

[Hogso]

Just found an interesting pic : http://img26.photobucket.com/albums/v78/Shoujiwolf/scan0002.jpg
I dont know if its from the next volume or not, but apparently its of various .hack characters in Real Life, ie. the player at the terminal.
Who's who, I dont know, but supposedly they are mainly characters from the manga, including Balmung...

But it could be a red herring, and as for its original source, I dont know :confused:

[Page]

Yeah, it definately looks like the characters from the manga. I can recognise all but a few of them, but even then I can make a guess as to who they are. And I think that the guy at the back facing in the other direction is Balmung. Maybe.

[DIE2K]

I think it's gonna be only 3 discs...
Since each disc has 4 or 5 episodes, and the series is 12 episodes long.

Disc 1 (limited edition has a box to collect them in) and Disc 2 is allready out now ;)

[Seraph]

sorry ppl but i have to revive this thread as i have only just found out about dothack legend of the twilight DVD and it resurrected my love for .hack

from what i know now there are 3 DVD's but they are all region 1, so only americans have the luxury of seeing them

does anyone know if there are any region 2 DVD or if there will be any in the future???

[mimiru_rei]

i just had a quick look on amazon uk, considering the uk hasn't had all the hack://sign dvds yet (i think) i wouldn't imagine they will be released soon. it may be better to get the imports rather than wait.

[Seraph]

but you cant play a region 1 dvd on a region 2 dvd player

[mimiru_rei]

i know, but i was just saying anyway, also you can buy a multi-region dvd player, so its not a problem what region it is.

[Seraph]

oh:eek:!!!
i knew that :D

thanks 4 the info

[mimiru_rei]

its np, lol

French company Beez are translating the dvds for europe. the website is www.beez.fr the french section is the only working one but speaks of them turning the dvds into french and english, possibly more in the future so then you can have .hack//SIGN on dvd with the bonus episodes only avaliable on the special versions in america, we get the standard :D:D:D once that iscompleted if it is a success then DUSK or Legend of the Twighlight will also be released Region 2, any french speakers please translate some of the site ;)

[SpiderVirus]

actually i thought the third volume of the manga was being released in November, as amazon.co.uk has a released date of November 30, 2004.

[SpiderVirus]

you are correct, it was originally set to be next month, but i checked the date after posting this. thank you for the correction

Ken

[Mysty]

i'll just buy it when i finds it

[SpiderVirus]

borders do them in store, and other than that the net will sell them, and other book stores will order them for you :)

Ken

[Akion]

ok i skipped to this page but i get the jist

1 word:

EBAY lol u can get almost ne thing from it

[Mysty]

ebay hates me

[DIE2K]

Why's that Mysty?
Can't order anything from there?

[Akion]

lol I don't think she can a real pity lol It's where i but lotsa stuff lol, it's where i get alot of my imports from

[Mysty]

nope...my mum says i aint allowed ought off of ebay

[DIE2K]

Well tell your mom that she's wrong :p
Or just order it from Amazon.com instead :p She only said ebay :rolleyes:

[SpiderVirus]

Amazon is fine, its a proper shop, were as e-bay is just normal people like you and me, they could charge you, you send the money and they dont send the goods, all you can do about it is send them a nasty e-mail, and report it to e-bay, and all they do is add to your name that your a nasty person and have a bad history on selling items

not at all reliable, but good tips there if you want to try scamming anyone, lol, jk

Ken

[Mysty]

ok then...BRING IT ON AMAZON!!!

[DIE2K]

I didn't mean buying second hand shit from them..
I was talking about the new stuff they have (they have all of the .hack games there now) :D

[Mysty]

oh...cool

[DIE2K]

I think they only have the NTSC version though :(
But if you have a NTSC PS2 then it'll be fine ;)

[Akion]

lol I have a PAL one lol and no. 3 aint out down here in shitty cornwall :(

damn...

[SpiderVirus]

erm, im pretty sure cornwall is in England isnt it?

if that is true then .hack 3 is out, i just know most retailers dont have it because of its inpopularity, but Games and HMV still stock it but keep it hidden, ask if you cant see it. On its release date they have it up front tho when its easy to find.

Ken

[Mysty]

.... cornwall in in england, meep

Ken

lol u wever tryed finding a game or HMV in cornwall there's only 1 in the entire place

lol I'm going to look at my m8s shop he should have it

[SpiderVirus]

or try calling HMV and asking them to order it, they will send you a letter or call you when it arrives, then you just turn up with the money, Virgin Megastores also have it

i went to cornwall once when i was realy little, so im not sure what its like, too long ago lol, but any video and dvd store should be able to order it for you if they dont have it in.

Even blockbuster order videos and dvds for you if they have been released within the last year.
