Tales' Anime!

[Hawk Eye]

*Runs in circles!* My favorite game ever is making its anime debut :D! Tales of Symphonia for the GCN (and PS2, though I've never played that version <_< )!

If you didn't know, I'm a major ToS fan, so you can't imagine how exciting this is for me :P!

It's not exactly an anime but an OVA(original video animation?), which means it'll be released in DVD (w/e) segments over the course of a couple months.

So far, this was released about a month ago (so this is only new news to me).

Tales of Symphonia - Episode 1: Part 1
Tales of Symphonia - Episode 1: Part 2
Tales of Symphonia - Episode 1: Part 3
Tales of Symphonia - Episode 1: Bonus (which I can't understand because it's in Japanese, but is still funny to me all the same :P!)

I assume the actual OVAs to be released will be a lot longer. I need to find a way to get my hands on the official release >_< !

Anyways, if this latest release is news to any of our local Tales fans (looks around), I hope you can share in my excitement.

That's the only game in that series I own...But it's awesome. I hope the anime is indeed living up to those great expectations us ToS fans hold.

...;___; Dial-up's going away next month...Only one more month before hi-speed...

It's pretty good. So far, from what I've seen (which is like, up to where they leave Iselia), there's only a few changes. For instance there's no Marble or human ranch part and Lloyd and Genis decide to leave, but apparently aren't banished from Iselia.

And then there's a few key things only noticeable by people who have played the game several times over like like Lloyd giving Colette her necklace on her birthday and stuff like that :P.

Suffice it to say, as long as the next releases are a lot longer/have more episodes, it should shape up to be amazing.

What?! But the human ranch part was awesome!! ;__;

Hmmph. Here's hoping they don't take the Zelos dying path.

[Hawk Eye]

Yep. Zelos > Kratos any day :P

PSH YAH! Actually, I was thinking of buying Tales of Symphonia and I wanted some opinions. =D

For what it's worth, I'd say it's the best game on the GCN. I understand the PS2 version has more stuff though.
