Based on a popular PlayStation2 game, the fantasy-adventure .hack//Sign is set in the world within an online game. Tsukasa, a powerful Wave Master, finds himself lost in the cyberworld, with little memory of how he got there. More significantly, he's unable to log out of the game and is apparently immune to many of its restrictions. He may be the focus of an impending crisis linked to the mysterious Key of the Twilight. As he wanders through different realms, Tsukasa meets spunky girl warrior Mimiru; earnest soldier Bear; the Crimson Knights, who maintain order in the game-world; and genially heroic Crim, a Heavy Spear wielder. Tsukasa also encounters a potent but unseen entity who promises to protect him--and does. Handsomely designed, nicely animated, intriguingly scripted, and refreshingly free of unnecessary dialogue, .hack//Sign looks like a winner. (Rated 13 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

Before MMORPGs the first MMORPG

When I watched this I felt immersed in the world. Many anime movies are filled with too much fighting and not enough plot; this is the perfect balance with fighting only when needed to develop the plot, not as a central story line. Like all perfect stories, I never wanted this one to end and watched obsessively. If an Avatar, like from the movie Avatar, ever becomes possible, this is one world in which I'd immerse myself. If it is possible to suffer from postpartum over a movie, this is one of them.

First, I'll admit, .hack//SIGN is getting some of the best limited edition treatment I've ever seen. This box and its load of extras is sure to be highly coveted by anime fans and DVD collectors. In particular, I think the soundtrack is a great extra, as .hack has excellent music.

The plot premise of Hack seems a little thin at first glance. A boy is trapped in an online multiplayer interactive RPG. He need his friends to help him get out. Tron, anyone? But upon viewing this first disc of the series hack//:SIGN, there is something very intriguing about this series. THere is something very Matrix-like about it. I was instantly hooked, as I suspect many other people are. I cannot wait to watch the second volume.
The animation is standard Saturday morning, yet is oddly beautiful with all the varied backgrounds and colors. The characters are fascinating. So much has yet to be revealed. I greatly preferred the English dub to the original Japanese voice actors. English just seemed to fit better.

I've watched A LOT of anime way before it became mainstream, so I have had a sample of all the good stuff that made it here before the crappy kids shows. Neon Genesis is a supurd anime, you can't call yourself an anime lover before you watch that, however as much as I liked that anime, I LOVE .hack//SIGN. This sotry is slower moving, you see mostly character development and none of that bloody violence that is prevolent in most anime and other media. If you love getting involved with the characters you'll love this. Every person alive can relate to at least one of the characters in .hack, it's amazing to watch it and see how their lives play out. Even better, if you like this anime enough, there are four games to play that take place 6 months after this story. They pick up where it left off and solve the riddles that are left unsolved at the end of this series. Now I have to say that to be an true anime fan you have to have watched 2 series, Neon Genesis Evangelion and of course, .hack//SIGN! ^_^ \/
