Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Developed as the 8th project as part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the original Phantasy Star Online, Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation is an original 12-episode Slice of Life/Science Fiction anime based on the popular MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2.In the year 2016 AD, a new particle known as Ether was made known to the world, capable of lightning-fast data transfer unlike anything the world had seen. It is now 2027 AD, where from Ether the "Ethernet" was born, a revolution in internet technology where anyone, anywhere has access to high-speed internet. In the country of Japan, the operating system "ESC-A" introduced a massively multiplayer RPG known as Phantasy Star Online 2, which is now a national phenomenon played by youth to old. Itsuki Tachibana, an average high school student with no interest in the so-called "PSO2", is suddenly dragged into the world of online games when the Student Council President, Rina Izumi, recruits him to prevent the banning of PSO2 on Seiga Academy school grounds. However, the game's rising popularity has also brought with it a rise in mysterious disappearances that are resolved as fast as they occur. What connection do they have with Phantasy Star Online 2, and how is the strange transfer student Aika Suzuki linked to the darkness on the horizon?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The anime ran on Japanese television between January 7th, 2016 and March 31st, 2016. An official English subtitled broadcast was launched by Crunchyroll on January 9th, 2016 and ran through April 1st, 2016. It was licensed for an English release by Sentai Filmworks (much to the dismay of those still waiting for the game, at least for three more years).Now has a character sheet in progress.If you're looking for the direct adaptation of Phantasy Star Online 2, go to Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: Ether particles, a mysterious type of particle discovered on Earth in the year 2016 AD. Even in the modern day, it is still unknown what Ether is or how it works, but it is capable of high-speed data transmission, which is used for the Ethernet, an advanced form of The Internet that utilizes Ether to achieve lightning-fast wireless communication anywhere on the globe. This service is maintained by ESC-A Towers, which are large, glowing spires built in numerous places across Earth for the purposes of dispersing Ether. Phantoms are also comprised of the same Ether that makes the Ethernet run.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Itsuki has a minor one where he stops submitting his PSO2 reports after being lectured by SORO in Episode 2. He gets better once he pulls a Big Damn Heroes on SORO in Forest (Hard). Rina slips into one when she realizes that she was ignoring her friend Mika so she could help out Itsuki. Itsuki and Kouta help her snap out of it. When Itsuki's overconfidence in fighting a boosted Goldrahda gets the better of him, it leads to a near-death experience that he only narrowly avoids with Zeno and Echo's intervention. The event leaves a deep emotional scar on him that haunts him for most of the episode until he's forced to face his fear after Aika encourages him.

All prerelease information gave out zero plot details and only pulled footage from the first three episodes. The actual story behind the show beyond "a kid plays Phantasy Star Online 2" wasn't even known until the end of the second episode. And even then, the real plot doesn't start kicking in until over halfway through the series.

In Episode 12, Aika explains that the ARKS Interception Silhouettes are the best anti-Darker weapons around. Shortly after their introduction, Dark Falz Apprentice Gia reduces them to scrap metal.

However, they are using real attacks from the game, but since no one ever mentions them, the viewer has to have at least a little knowledge of the existing Photon Arts to know what attacks are what. How are you supposed to know that Itsuki's Gunslash and RINA's Twin Machineguns are named Radiant and Fray Fiora respectively? The show certainly never tells you.

When he lifts his shirt up, he has a bruise from the tail whip he took from that Vol Dragon in the game.

The cut-out of Quna that Yurika, Marika, and Riko use to promote their maid cafe in Episode 9 is the same image that is used to promote the real life Phantasy Star Online 2 x Sweets Paradise collaboration event. Quna performs a concert as Itsuki and company rush to the final battle. In the actual game, an Emergency Quest, which could be related to a Dark Falz, always occurs thirty minutes after Quna's concert starts. The Wave-Motion Gun used against Apprentice in Episode 11 emerges in an identical manner to the Mining Base Defense: Demise Quest, with the exact same camera angles.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_2b5ea43c	comment	Bland-Name Product: Averted, completely, of all things, with Phantasy Star Online 2 itself. The anime is not, like most other anime adaptations of a video game franchise, set within the real world of the game, instead being a story of players of the game, who end up involved in the narrative of the game itself between Episodes 3 and 4, with absolutely no attempts to pretend it's not the game. The School name ("Seiga" Academy) is a allusion to SEGA name, the mascot of school seems to be Sonic the Hedgehog as noticied in many parts of school. Amusingly, SEGA also does this to themselves; in Episode 6, the name "SEGO" can be seen on a chalkboard. In Episode 8, Itsuki works in a Microsoft Word 2016 text editor, except it's called "World". Times New Roman is also called "Timely Roman".

However, SORO, OrgaCats, and Master Nezumi are unusual cases because their players are of the opposite gender. Itsuki plays with this, since Gunslashes are a Strike/Range hybrid.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_4536fd29	comment	Some of the Photon Arts, compared to the game. In the game, Aiming Shot is a stock PA for Gunslashes that just fires a big energy bullet. In the anime, it essentially becomes a gigantic laser blast with enough recoil to knock Itsuki off his feet. Also, Over End is a useful and powerful Sword PA, but in the anime, it's powerful enough to cleave a Vol Dragon in two.

Aika's costume change isn't just for show; she has all the same powers her PSO2 character does, and she uses it to exterminate Darkers that appeared on Earth. Towards the end of Episode 6, Darker particles start spewing from a handheld device, revealing that ARKS aren't the only ones that can travel to Earth via PSO2... In-universe, Mika's bandaged hand in Episode 7. It was previously thought that Mika went missing because Rina neglected her, but during her rescue in PSO2, Mika was attacked by a Goldrahda and was injured in her right hand. When Itsuki sees Mika's hand in the real world and finds that it's also injured, he makes the connection and realizes that something's definitely amiss with PSO2... In Quest 8: Itsuki finding a bruise on his side from when he was attacked by the Vol Dragon, shortly before being accosted in the real world by two El Ahdas and his powers awakening... Quest 11: Rina becoming the new Dark Falz Apprentice.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_6b35bdff	comment	Serious Business: Phantasy Star Online 2 is so widespread, one of Seiga Academy's student council's primary functions is to submit reports relating to it. This is to help the academy formulate an idea about the students' social environs and thus figure out the most viable way of interacting with its population. In fact, playing PSO2 is literally the student council vice president's only job. This stems from Rina's belief that PSO2 stands at the forefront of a communication technology revolution, being ubiquitous in modern culture thanks to its being pre-loaded on all new computers using an advance version of the internet. She also seeks to keep the Seiga Academy staff from banning PSO2 from campus, believing that the game does not negatively affect student performance and that such a ban would constitute a grave violation of privacy.

It's also revealed that Aika is in cahoots with the legendary Council of Six, and is not at all from Earth. Itsuki also receives his Mid-Season Upgrade very briefly, which is revealed to be his alternate costume from the Action Prologue. Episode 8. Itsuki finally gains near-total control of his fancy Mid-Season Upgrade and is able to gain access to it on Earth. Episode 9. The true background behind the show is revealed: a yet-unknown Dark Falz incarnation is using Darkers to capture Earthlings with strong Photon-wielding capacity; it intends on using one as a host to manifest and invade Earth. Itsuki also officially becomes an ARKS member and teams up with Aika to tackle the impending threat. Episode 10. In a moment of crisis, Rina gains the ability to manifest her own ARKS form on Earth, but is just as quickly captured by a squad of Darkers and taken to PSO2. Kouta also finds out about the Darker crisis when he witnesses the incident occur.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: Some of the Photon Arts, compared to the game. In the game, Aiming Shot is a stock PA for Gunslashes that just fires a big energy bullet. In the anime, it essentially becomes a gigantic laser blast with enough recoil to knock Itsuki off his feet. Also, Over End is a useful and powerful Sword PA, but in the anime, it's powerful enough to cleave a Vol Dragon in two. Gunslashes themselves get this treatment: in the real game, Gunslashes are considered a Skill Gate Weapon that are rather mediocre later on, lacking the usefulness and power of other striking and ranged weapons. You wouldn't know it just from seeing Itsuki using them, though. In the game, boosted enemies simply have increased stats, but come with a seed attached that act as a weak point. In the anime, boosted enemies block attacks most of the time, and have no seed, making them Nigh-Invulnerable under normal circumstances. Dark Falz Apprentice is much more threatening than her previous incarnations; Apprentice I only beat Klariskrays II by using meat shields, and Apprentice II wasn't actually a Dark Falz. This one is able to pin down both Aika and Itsuki with a laser storm, and is powerful enough to give Zeno a run for his money.

The fountain at the center of Seiga Academy is in the shape of Sonic the Hedgehog's head, which is also the logo of Sonic Team, the developers behind many Phantasy Star titles. A statue of Alex Kidd is the centerpiece of Seiga Academy's indoor hot spring. Marika, Riko, and Yurika give Aika the nickname of "Aiai". In Episode 4, one quick shot has a booth labelled "NiGHTS Entertainment" with NiGHTS' silhouette backing the banner. When Rina is at a shooting gallery to get dolls of MAGs, two of the available dolls on display include Sonic the Hedgehog and Carbuncle. This is also a reference to there being collaboration events in PSO2 that feature such SEGA characters. Plush dolls of Reala are shown in a UFO Catcher that Aika plays to win a Lillipan doll. In Episode 6, a UFO Catcher is seen with plushies of Sonic and numerous Puyo inside. In Episode 8, a mall is flying banners proudly proclaiming "TowerView DreamTown" accompanied by the Dreamcast logo. Yutaka is a huge SEGA fan. Yutaka's room has posters of the Sega Hard Girls on his wall. A later shot in the same episode also shows large posters of Virtua Fighter and House of the Dead III on another wall. Yutaka has an image of Miles "Tails" Prower on the back of his smartphone. In Episode 8, he shows up wearing a full body Sonic suit.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Three people are shown in the intro with a different uniform to Seiga Academy. They're Hitsugi, Kory and Enga of Tensei Academy, who all play a major role in EPISODE 4. The strange news reports in Episode 1 about a train and a car going out of control reference the Phantoms, an enemy type on PSO2's Tokyo field. An ESC-A Tower is brought up when Rina explains the Ethernet to Itsuki. In Episode 5, Patty and Tiea note the unusual rise in the number of ARKS, and Patty even refers to Itsuki as a "mysterious ARKS", echoing concerns Ulc mentions in PSO2: EPISODE 4 about a rise in a number of "unusual" ARKS.

Scene cut to Aika blowing up said Darkers in an adjacent forest.

Several UFO Catchers can be seen in several episodes. The final episode has the cast heading down to Sweets Paradise, a Japanese restaurant and cake bar chain that is collaborating with Phantasy Star for Phantasy Star Online's 10th anniversary.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_fe262584	type	Cutscene Power to the Max
Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: Probably the most blatant example: In the Action Prologue, Aika throws a Talis card and casts Zondeel, which holds down a bunch of running Goldrahdas. In-game, Goldrahdas that are running are completely immune to the effects of Zondeel (or any movement-restricting actions like Gravity Bomb, for that matter). Egregious in Episode 2, where Dagans start firing projectiles at SORO. They cannot do this in-game. A lot of Photon Arts do things they can't do in gameplay. For example, in Episode 3, Fudou Kuchinashi manages to freeze enemies in midair. While it does have an Area of Effect, it can't normally ignore basic physics. In Episode 5, Aika leaps into the air to save a Lillipan who has been caught in an explosion from a malfunctioning robot enemy. The preceeding event is a real emergency trial that can occur in-game, but in-game, as soon as the robot explodes, the trial is failed, and the Lillipan simply disappears (though with an implication that it somehow survived despite your failure). In Episode 11, Lillika grapples Dark Vibrace's bomb and throws it back at it.

Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: Played for Laughs. During the preview for Episode 2, Itsuki is talking to Rina about SORO, who despite him seeing them as helpful, thinks that SORO is also a little overbearing and a pain, eventually mentioning the player of SORO is probably a busybody as well. Itsuki then sees Rina (who plays SORO) getting irritated and asks what's wrong, prompting her to yell at him. Played more seriously in Episode 3, when Itsuki deduces out loud in-game that the notorious troll Musashi is actually his classmate Yutaka Sasaki. Yutaka's panicked reaction and logging out causes other players to start believing Itsuki to be a troll. Once again in Episode 5, with Rina saying they should be thankful to the Darkers for bringing people together. Aika proceeds to get angry and seethes about how the Darkers have harmed and killed so many before catching herself.
