Summary: Disappointing
Review: I thought I would like this, but all I had heard about it just turned out to be hype. The characters are all boring, two-dimensional personalities. The art, while pretty, was not enough to keep my interest, and the storyline was, to be frank, not even there. So, Tsukasa is trapped in an online game. *yawns* Big deal. None of the characters had me cheering for them, and some, like Subaru, made me feel the opposite. I found the Crimson Knights to be power-hungry and Subaru to be rather stuck-up. Bear is just...goofy. Mimiru is the only character to evoke any kind of good reaction from me, but she cannot carry the show all by herself.The voice acting falls flat, as the voices either don't fit the character or are just uninteresting. Tsukasa sounds flat and emotionless, Mimiru's English voice gets on my nerves VERY quickly, and Subaru also comes across as rather unemotional and prissy. The voice actors for the Crimson Knights and Bear sound as though they have never done any voice-acting; their acting is stilted and jerky. If you are a fan of online RPGs, you might like this. Otherwise, I suggest you stay away. There are many other anime titles out there. I am currently selling my copy of .hack here on Amazon.

Summary: A fun fantasy series
Review: In the near future, virtual reality technology is perfected, resulting in the ultimate roleplaying games. The most popular of these is "The World". One day, a frightened young boy appears, accompanied by a mysterious creature that attacks anything trying to harm or restrain him. His name is Tsukasa, and he says that he cannot log out of the game and can physically feel everything happening to him in The World. A handful of seasoned players tries to reach out and help him - Mimiru, an outgoing young girl with enough self-confidence for both of them; her friend Bear, a warmhearted man with a strong paternal streak; Bear's associate B.T., a beautiful, ice-cool woman playing so many cards even she must have trouble keeping track of them and Lady Subaru, a compassionate young woman who founded the Crimson Knights - an informal order of rule enforcers working in unison with system administration to keep the game pleasant and fair and who's highly respected in spite of her realatively low experience level due to her distaste for fighting. Also joining them on occasion are Crim, a nice friend of Subaru's who perhaps has the healthiest attitude towards the game and Sora, a witty but rather nasty manchild who tails them when he's not being tolerated for his connections to a legendary hacker and whose purpose in life seems to be to push the otherwise mellow Crim's buttons (remember that kid you couldn't stand in grade school? That's Sora...). At first, Tsukasa's dilemma is an interesting mystery, but things become more serious as they discover that The World might not be as disconnected from reality as most of them believe... The series has many strong points. The World itself is beautiful, with breathtaking and imaginative color and landscaping. The soundtrack is incredible and adds alot to the series. The character designs are funky and fun. Most of all, this isn't just another adventure. It's the people behind these roleplaying characters that's the real story as we learn who they really are, most of them trying to either avoid the real world or find something that they're not getting in their real lives. Part of the fun (and drama) is putting together the clues, such as Bear roughly dating himself with strong hints that he belonged to the early Dungeons & Dragons crowd or the first hints, besides his speech and mannerisms, of Sora's real age as he has to occasionally leave abruptly due to his online time being monitored and curtailed. By the end, the various truths we slowly learn about them range from moving to sometimes disturbing. This is a story for grownups, with some interesting moral discussions. It's not perfect, however. The first half in particular is slow moving even by the standards of the very tolerant. There's a recap episode - which is inexcusable considering this isn't a long series. Finally, to really appreciate it you have to understand online roleplaying or at least how roleplaying and computers work in general - so this isn't for everyone. If this sounds like it's for you, though, jump right in. At an extremely reasonable six volumes, you can't go that wrong if you have leanings towards fantasy.

Summary: Frustrated!!!
Review: .hack//SIGN is a SPECTACULAR anime. It's great; definitely a must-see. However, I do have a few problems with this item (not the anime itself, you'll note. The anime itself is worth every penny). I mistakenly ordered this thinking that I was getting the "limited edition" of volume one, which comes with a T-shirt, soundtrack, Grunty plush doll, and some postcards. I can't say how frustrated that made me when it came, and I only had a DVD. Not only that, but the corner of the case was smashed, so that it doesn't close all the way. If that doesn't concern you, then by all means, by this! It's fantastic. Definitely worth it.

Summary: Awesome if you are a real fan of anime
Review: .hack is a totally immersive experience. It is one of the best anime series out there and the simp0le point is you aren't going to completely understand the story. You will be stuck knowing only what the characters in the show know. It won't be handed to you and it wont be full of dazzling fights because .hack is a story and a complicated one. You must hold all the pieces to understand. If you watch the series and play th games etc. it will become clear.WARNING EXTREME SPOILER AHEAD! This for thse of you who can't understand to get the basis. Harald Hoerwick was in love with a poet named Emma Wielat who died in a car crash. In her memory he took her poem the Epitaph of the twilight and made it into a game called fragment. In this game he created aura as a child of the two. A program named morganna was made to awaken aura. Morganna became corrupt and trapped tsukasa in the world to use his negative feelings to keep aura unawake. cc corp had no idea this existed in haralds game and s it was added when they revised fragment and renamed it "The World". In the games you play trying to awaken orca (a coma victim) and are opposed by morganna as she sends the eight phases as wriitten in the epitaph of twilight.

Summary: A story that goes beyond just an anime
Review: .hack//sign is only one part of Bandai's dot hack project. Spanning an anime, games, and a manga series, the story told in .hack is a long one. .hack//sign tells the story of Tsukasa, a boy stuck in the online game, the World. The anime takes place entirely in this game, and follows Tsukasa's tale. The story is very slow, but is highly entertaining. The music is wonderful as well, and you may very well stop paying attention to the story just to listen to the music. To truly get the whole story however, you may want to play the PS2 games as well. .hack//infection is the first game, and takes place around the same time as .hack//sign. I would reccomend playing the first volume of the game first before watching the anime, as that will give you a better idea of what is going on in the show. If you enjoy online games, fantasy, or anime in general, then .hack//sign is perfect for you.

Summary: worest anime ever!!!
Review: hey everyone i'm Joe.when i first heard there would be a anime base on an video game. i throught oh cool. i never play the video game because i'm worried it will suck as bad as this anime. i never seen the first epsiode. but it's cofusing. so it's like the internet or something they can login on and read e-mails and stuff. it's a mixed between the internet and a rpg. the music is ok but could be better i like the beging theme better then the theme in the end and during the show. the anime is cool the characters design is cool. but the storyline is dumb. this is for your soap fans the whole series is like a soap show all they do is talk and talk about cofusing stuff and get into every character's past. there are a few action parts but it doesn't last long. i like anime and all but this is boring as heck. i like drama animes like tenchi in tokyo. because the character has a girlfriend. but if you want an anime set get something else.

Summary: Could be so much better!
Review: At first glance, this anime looks like a very solid show and a great buy. However, once you start watching you'll realize that it's not as great as you think. The combination of a confusing plot and a lack of character development are it's main problems. It's not saved by the artwork or voice talent, either-these were equally unastounding. After continual watching, I almost fell asleep because I was so tired of staring at the screen waiting for someone to talk or move- it's like they didn't have enough content, so they were forced to insert several excruciating awkward silences. It's really too bad- the premise was so interesting, and the show fails in the end. Not a good anime- check out Neon Genesis Evangelion, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, or one of the other greats, instead. Some people might give in to the gimmick and buy the PS2 video game that mirrors the storyline- don't, I fell for this too and the gameplay is mediocre compared to other good RPG games.
