Hack // Legend Of The Twilight - Vol. 1 (Animated)

Advantages: A great plot flows within this legendary anime
Disadvantages: The story takes a short while to get into motion

....hack//SIGN follows the story of a young wavemaster named Tsukasa lost within The World, the most successful Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) EVER created... ...But things arent anywhere near as wonderful as they would seem to any player other than Tsukasa, as he finds himself stranded in the game, unable to log out! As the story progresses over these 4 episodes, you become more and more involved and almost cry when the time comes that youll need the second volume! This shows plot and storyline puts it firmly in the realm of outstanding in my opinion, and this is only helped by the other medias the .hack project spreads itself into. Over the episodes you meet a range of new characters in The World, most are just players of the game, but others are more significant than others...... Read review

The characters in this also appear in the games and some in sign I belive so anyone following from those won't be too lost with this, which is always a good thing. A major problem with this is that it is far too short, the previous anime which was sign was much longer than this. It was quite disapointing to just see two DVDs... Read review
