Sega has streamed the first trailer for the upcoming anime Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation, giving us a closer look at the setting and the three main characters. The trailer suggests that the anime isn’t actually set in the Phantasy Star Online 2 universe. Instead, it appears to be using a typical high-school setting, and Phantasy Star Online 2 is an MMO which the characters are playing (much like in the anime Sword Art Online).
Below you can find screenshots from the trailer showing the three main characters, and also the trailer itself. The anime is set to air in Japan in 2016.
