.hack//SIGN Episode 8 feels a bit boring. The story keeps telling us that Tsukasa is important, but after eight episodes, I still do not really see why. He mostly just acts on his own, while the other characters keep trying to connect themselves to him, and I keep wondering if it is really necessary. The floating woman is also starting to feel confusing. She has been there for several episodes, just quietly floating, but we still do not know what her purpose is. I hope the story starts moving forward more clearly after this.
