More faithful adaptation for episodes 5 and 6 especially near the end of episode 6...
Spoiler :
...where Van seems suspicious and Asch looks like Luke! Well, no DUH!!! :roll:

Though Sunrise did add one new thing in episode 6, and that's showing a flashback of Natalia and Luke when they were kids. It was actually pretty cute.
Tear getting scared in the dark factory was full of LOL. :lol:

So next week they're headed towards the Zao Ruins and then to Chesedonia.

I wonder if they will do what they did with the Tales of Symphonia anime and stop halfway. We can at least assume they are going to go most of the way because
Spoiler :
they show the underground scene where Luke cuts off his hair in the opening.
But will they follow the game all the way to the end I wonder? I certainly hope they do since I am enjoying the nostalgia factor.

well... I'd have to say this is far better than the Tales of Symphonia anime. But I still like the Tales of Eternia anime...

Episode 7, a.k.a. the Asshatery of Luke fon Fabre. The anime did a better job in conveying it though. Few changes here and there....
Spoiler :
- Guy got the cursed seal during his battle against Sync in the Zao Ruins.

- The party did encounter Legretta in the Deo Pass, but they didn't really fight her. The anime did showed a nice flash back of Tear when she was younger and was trained by Legretta. Oh man, that conversation Legretta had with them ended up with Jade totally losing his composure!
Next episode, the party finally makes it to Akzeriuth, and this where Luke is going to get his just desserts!

Episode 8 is where shit hits the fan, and I have to give props to Sunrise because these scenes were much better portrayed here than the game. And that was a pretty slick cliffhanger they pulled.

I've always wanted to play the "Tales of" series.
But now Abyss makes me wanna play it more.
I love it so far.

I have so much fun poking fun at Luke.
Spoiled rich kids always makes me laugh.
Though in episode 7 did want to slap him so much >.>

An anime version of "Tales of the Abyss"? :shock:

Where have I been? Oh yeah, I've been playing each 'Tales series' video game except for the latest one, Vesperia.

So far, I've played Abyss and Symphonia. Next, I'll watch the anime ASAP now that ya'll mention it. :wink:

How many episodes is Tales of the Abyss?

They've been doing a great job so far. It's been following the game almost perfectly. Dammit I have to buy the game and finish. I left off at the part where Tear and Luke had just left the Qliphoth.

So it's 12 episodes going on 26. Alright. Don't mind starting from the beginning since this is my first time seeing the series. Can't wait to check out what I've missed from the anime. I'll be more likely to enjoy the anime as much as the game it's just that I won't be playing it! :lol:

Thanks for letting me know.
