A solid dialogue-driven drama which won't be for everyone! Written by ggultra2764 on February 10, 2012 at 11:01 PM

This is a show that takes its time with development so you become acquainted with the plot and characters, especially as more details concerning the mystery of Tsukasa's incapability of logging out of the World are revealed. The MMORPG known as the World has an immersive world to take in and players with diverse personalities whose attitudes of the game clash on occasion. From the stickler for the rules Ginkan to player killer Sora, you get a good sense of just what kind of people the players are as they interact with each other. Even as more about Tsukasa's problems are revealed and eventually resolved, there are mysteries left unresolved about those who kept Tsukasa trapped in the game which are revealed later on in the first set of hack video games and .hack//Liminality. In terms of visuals, hack has vivid scenery and great looking character designs with a great amount of detail and bright colors. While dialogue was the major emphasis of much of Sign, the scenes where there were abnormalities in the World were the highlights in the animation department for the series. One effective use of the artwork was discerning the differences between reality and the World with the differences in color. The World was saturated in plenty of color meant to convey the escapism and freedoms that it gave its users while reality is coated in black and white with static accompanying its borders to convey the boredom and pressures that it gave people day by day. hack's best feature for me was its music. Filled with powerful vocals and an energetic techno soundtrack, the soundtrack for the series stands as one of the best I've heard in an anime to date. With a focus on character interactions and the mysteries surrounding Tsukasa, .hack//Sign makes for a great title if you like anime that take their time with developing their elements. (show less)

The tale of .hack is told though the anime series, several games, OAV and manga. The story line follows several different groups of characters who are players in a popular online RPG (Role Playing Game) called "The World". In the game players can go on quests with other players to gain experience and find treasures. Not all is fun and games in "The World", several players have gone into comas while playing the game while their characters in the game are still active. In "The World" are those who seem to only exist in the game, some helping the players while others who want to destroy "The World". For the characters who are unable to "log out", it soon becomes clear that it isn't just a game, it becomes a matter of life and death. .hack//SIGN released in 2002 follows Tsukasa who is one of those characters unable to log out of the world. With the help of a small band of friends they try discover the reason Tsukasa cannot leave the online world. In .hack//Liminality the mysterious coma of a player is investigated by Mai who is seeking all of the answers in the real world. The story line in the game follows a 14 year old boy named Kite. He is invited by his friend Orca to enter "The World". While in the game Orca falls into a coma and Kite along with a few companions must find the answers to the mysteries of "The World" and the comatose players. The 2003 release of Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu (Legend of the Twilight Bracelet) takes place 4 years after the end of the game story line. The story follows twins Rena and Shuugo as they enter "The World" after winning the prize to use the retired characters of Blackrose and Kite- the legendary .hackers. The players are once again in danger with only Shuugo, his friends and the mysterious Aura to protect the "The World" from destruction (show less)
