About .hack//INTERMEZZO

.hack//INTERMEZZO blends adventure, fantasy and mystery by Bee Train (2003). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: A virtual multiplayer online role-playing game exists, known as 'The World'. In 'The World', there is an event held in the Dungeon of Nankoflank that Mimiru, a character in the game, undertakes with Bear, another character of the game.

Also worth knowing: Mimiru confesses to Bear that she's not doing the event for the treasures or experiences, but for the memories and experiences of when she had first started playing. The two later meet a certain character named Mimika and together, the three proceed through quests and events as Mimiru learns the meaning of the game.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Mimiru (Megumi Toyoguchi) and Bear (Kazuhiro Nakata) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
