The premise of the show is that it follows the lives of players of Phantasy Star Online 2 ‘who may be near you’, taking place on Earth in the near future. Seems that someone at SEGA was inspired by Sword Art Online. The anime will hit Japanese TV stations sometime in 2016, will you watch it?
it looks amazing 😀
Um, are you referring to Sword Art Online instead of Art Sword Online?
You got me! I edited.
The story revolves around an artificial intelligence called Gene, which in the wake of the Great Collapse, is convinced that humanity is to blame for Algol’s troubles, and initiates a number of plans to eliminate them. It also features the “spiritual” return of Nei from Phantasy Star II in a new character of the same name, who helps Chaz stop Gene’s sinister ambitions.
