First off, there is some inaccuracy in the existing synopsis for this OVA. The purpose of this OVA is nearly the same as that of Offline Meeting for.hack//UDEDEN and Unison for.hack//SIGN. It takes on the function of an OVA in which a number of the characters from the previous game or anime cross paths.
Furthermore, I don't think it's really necessary to have watched.hack//G. U. TRILOGY in order to see this. Trilogy is nothing more than a CGI synopsis of the three games.
After making these remarks and expressing my perspectives, I will now share my personal analysis of this OVA.
As previously said, this OVA is a "character get together" episode. Nevertheless, this episode has a slight twist in that it genuinely has a narrative, in contrast to the previous ones in the series that accomplished essentially the same thing.
Without giving anything away, Haseo receives an email instructing him to meet at a designated location. Almost ignoring it, Haseo discovers it's from Ovan. Haseo visits the location to look into the possibility that this is a scam or the real thing. But the email was also distributed to a large number of other members, thus Haseo encountered a lot of people he knew.
This has a rather high enjoyment level, particularly if you've been itching for more since the conclusion of the G. U. games. I rate the OVA a seven out of ten overall. Even while I was excited to see more for G. U., I was not as thrilled with the rest of it. For example, the animation was the same as what I had seen previously, and it seemed a lot like an episode of Roots (which, I admit, I think is what they were going for).
