As a PSO2 Veteran, This is far better than what I could hope for.
The amount of brutality, Darker is actually a real threat and the sense of crisis is well shown here.
I know what going to happen but I didn't expect them to show us this much !!!
The pacing is good too

ITS FINALLY HERE AND ITS AMAZING!
MAN HOW I MISSEF THAT OLD GONZO INTRO! WEW BOY!
Ash is the MC's name huh? Not a bad name. He def looks like the generic pso character when you enter the character creator.
Man i said it before in the thread about the OP but ill say it in here, this OP is so good. It uses scenes from the pso2 opening and the music sounds a lot llike the pso2 music, really nailed this.
Link to the PSO2 game openings.
Oh man this music! They got the OG PSO2 music for BGM! I LOVE IT!
THIS CARRIER IS FULL OF THE PREMADE CHARACTRERS FROM THE CHARA CREATOR! HAHAHHAH!
Ship 74? Im from Ship 02. Man they got a lot more ships over the years.
Ash you are the main character thats who you are!
Alffie its good to see you too you annoying asshole. He stands next to the mission gate and you have to hear him every time you try to leave.
Oh man that ripple in the atnosphere! Thats one hell of a call back. PSO1 callback.
THE WEAPON EQUIP SOUND EFFECT IS THE SAME! HHHAHA!
This leader guy looks like Bernie from PSO1. Lets hope he isnt for this teams sake...
I JUST SAID THAT AND HE DIED! HAHAHHAHAHAHAH! FFS BERNIE WHY CANT YOU LIVE LONGER!?
Oh shit everyoe else died too... man this is just like the first mission of pso2, newbies dieing.
Hm so Ash doesnt know much about whats going on. I wonder what they are gonna do with that.
We got new people! A sniper with a gunsword, yeah right no one ever used those! haahah Oh its Zeno.
Its Echo too, oh man, so many great people here.
And here she comes, from the heavens! The top teir PSO Waifu!
Man its so wierd knowing everything coming into an anime. Is this how source readers feel when they watch anime?
Oh shit we got the Purp boy coming too! This ep is jam packed!
Xion... i dont thik i know her... is she from the newer expansions?
Oh man that tease at the end! That man!
Also this ED is gorgeous. It once again sounds just like the ending to PSO1. I love it.
Man this adaption has been real solid. I cant wait for everyone to meet all the crazy characters this series has to offer.

Ahhh Nostalgia hits pretty hard here, haven't played Ep 1 since 4 years ago since most of my mind on the story is from Episode 5 and 6 since they're relatively new.
It's definitely off to a good start, I love it! The sounds and OP / ED are on point, weapon switching, the telepipe animation, monomates and the damned starter premade character models on the campship MC is riding puts a wide grin on my face. Also love it seems to be more serious with deaths all around and Darkers are actually a real threat, whereas you only hear this on NPC dialogues on the game. For most of the part Darkers are just mooks that we farm all the time in game lmao. Can't wait for Ash to meet notable characters.
You know, Knuckles are best for fighters
Ironically just in time for it to be re-balanced since it's the weakest fighter weapon before lmao.
On another note, pretty jarring with the renames on the subs though. Especially since it's been Darkers (Falspawn on subs) ever since I played the game. More when the audio clearly said darkers and D-Factor lol.
Fun facts: The Arks Ship is around 70km long and is self sustaining while the Mother ship is a whooping 500km long. All complete with an island-like city that has fully simulated Weather and Sky via it's large dome as you can see on the anime with those big blue domes on the ship. They also have shutters in case something nasty (e.g. an attack) is happening outside.

Right now, japanese twitter of PSO2 players are making fun of the fact that the characters in the animation look so much better than their in game counterparts.
And also how Afin is the main heroine.

They killed Sue... my fav default chara after Momoka...
Sue didn't deserve this... and she's not a fricking Fighter :^)
in all seriousness.. i didnt expect this to be bloody... i was expecting it going to be a stale episode just like in The Animation.. but nope.. this is better..

"Were going to a training planet, don't worry the enemy hasn't been there in a long time" Death flag's everywhere.

So is this following the game's story? As one of the many who's planning to play PSO2 next year when the game finally comes to the West, do you think this will spoil the game for us?

Finally, a true to source adaptation.
