Series Description:
"Released in December 2007 after the regulation of the internet, "The World" is the first online game released since "Pluto's Kiss," an event at the height of an internet hacking maelstrom that led to millions of computers across the globe shutting down. Running under ALTIMIT, a secure network operating system, "The World" has grown rapidly in popularity with millions having downloaded the game in the first month alone, and more than 20 million players by 2010, the time of the .hack//SIGN story. "The World", which is administered by the CyberConnect (CC) Corporation, began as a prototype game called "the Fragment" which gradually developed into the current version of the game. Programmers from the ALTIMIT development team left the company to work on "The World", forming the CC Corporation, and now act as the game's system administrators."

.hack//sign takes place entirely in "The World", the most popular MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) after the Pluto Kiss event. The anime is based around a player named Tsukasa and his inability to log out of the game, returning back to the real world. Upon opening a magical treasure chest, Tsukasa is granted a guardian. In the real world Tuskasa's body goes into a comatose state.

*Yet again dies from the bad grammar*

Unison made me angry. All that dancing at the end made me want to puke.

Helba's voice actor, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, is the best!

doesn't helba also do the major's voice from 2nd gig?

Adrian_Alexander

Yes. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's vocal career is very extensive and impressive.

Stay on topic please. This is about .hack//SIGN.

I love the .hack//SIGN soundtrack! I have them all and the special edition DVDs.

.Hack//Sign was the first of .Hack that I had ever heard of
Since then, I've been hooked ^_^
I had to watch each episode 3 times because I kept missing the last episode XD I dunno how I kept forgetting O_o
But I finally saw it a while back (when it was still on tv) and bought some of the DVD's ^_^
My favorite characters would have to be... all of them really XD Except Sora, he annoyed me x_x And that character that had the sick grunty and yelled at Tsukasa for *Spoiler Warning if you haven't watched the episode yet! (I think it was episode 8... Correct me if I'm wrong ^_^)* 'letting it die' when he did all he could to save it *End Spoilers* ;=; *sobs*

what an odd episode huh?

Sora is one of the best characters there is, although....what happened to him is really sad considering he is only a 4th grade kid....:

Its an Okay series.. nothing too fabulous about it. I like the music though :)

tsukasa
03-18-2006, 09:50 PM
LOL, thats what I've been listening to all day.

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 09:52 PM
Gift was crazy XD But I loved it XD The distortions of the characters were too funny XD

And yeah, it was sad what happened to Sora ;=;
Though I didn't like him much, I'd grown attached to him throughout the series

tsukasa
03-18-2006, 10:02 PM
I liked Sora right from the begining!

LOL, thats what I've been listening to all day.

Did you mean you;ve been listening to the songs, or did you mean you've been listening to ppl say what I said all day? lol Anyway, Any favorite songs in particular? xD I like the ending theme a lot, and 'Stray Child' :D

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 10:07 PM
I think it was the PKing part of his character that I disliked most XD Other than that, he was ok

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 10:08 PM
Aura and Stray Child were definitely favorites from the soundtrack ^_^
And The World
But they're all so good, it was very hard to decide on favorites

all of the OST's even the 3 disk game music

I like:
Bears theme
Obsession
the world

I want sora's theme, but it hasnt been released :(

AnimeDudde
03-18-2006, 10:28 PM
I imagine Sora's voice actor to be the same as that of Pegasus from YuGiOh, I dunno why though xD never heard soras theme before. He seems a bit too smart and sneaky to only be in grade 4 tho :rolleyes:

tsukasa
03-18-2006, 10:34 PM
nope 4th grade, but the Japanese start a year or 2 early

AnimeDudde
03-18-2006, 10:43 PM
So how old would he be, 7 or 8? :eek:

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 10:47 PM
Obsession is awesome ^___^
And the full version of Liminality also~
And the not-full versions of Liminality XD
And To Nowhere
I think all of the songs with vocals are my favorites o_o
Along with BT and Bear being non-vocal favorites ^_^

.hack//SIGN was the first anime DVD i ever bought. I'v alwaysed loved the .hack// series (I have almost all of them.) I have all the sound tracks too. I don't know what my favourite SIGN song is, but i love the songs from Limanality. My favourite charater would be Balmung.

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 11:02 PM
Oh yeah! I just remembered!
Memory is like my most favoritest Liminality song
Did it ever come out on a soundtrack?
I never found it ;=;

I think so.

BT and Sora's scene on disk 1 kinda gives it away.
she says something - i forget exactly what.
and he says "thats easy - the Key of the Twilight"
she says something else - again i forgot
and he says "Hey, thats cheating!"

As far as i can tell (I just checked my Liminality CD), no, it is not on it.
Are you sure that that is the name of the song?

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 11:19 PM
I'm pretty sure it was Memory
It was on either Disc 3 or 4 of Liminality, used as the opening theme

tsukasa
03-18-2006, 11:23 PM
I dont have it, but i can get it. I'll send it along with the other song.

Ginkan
03-18-2006, 11:29 PM
