.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet ep1

So we see this cute maintenance person fixing bugs while in the game and he encounters Unbeatable Monsters, remembers what had happened when the first Unbeatable Monsters appeared, gets killed and well, coes in a coma. Familiar scene?

Anyways, one should have at least some knowledge on the two previous .hack series to better understand this. Or maybe none at all, but at least you should know the first two.

Moving on, Shuugo is this teenage boy who quit playing internet games. That or given up, says his twin sister Rena who's living with their parents. For some unexplaiend reason, Shuugo is living alone. Anyway, Shuugo receives mail that he has won the limited edition dot hacker sprite of Kite. He calls his sister and finds out that she too, has won Black Rose's sprite.

Basically what happens next is an advanced level monster appears in a begginer's area, so Shuugo and Rena have to defeat it. Shuugo dies while saving Rena, but what's this? Something strange happens. He doesnt re-appear as a 'ghost' in The World! Balmung shows up in the beginners area and helps defeat the Advanced Monster. Next thing we know, Aura, or whoever looks like her, appears and gives Shuugo Data Drain.. Thus begins our hero's adventure in The World.

...That sounded like an episode summary.. Oh well.
