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."

[Alphonse Elric]

i think unison was a really good episode... and gift was so random...
rofl on a waffle XD
oh yah my fav characters from there are mimiru and crim

[tsukasa]

My favourite characters are (of course) Tsukasa, Subaru, and Sora

[Adrian_Alexander]

*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!

[Alphonse Elric]

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.

[Skeith]

Well, I never got to see Unison.....
I luved .hack//GIFT. I saw it about 20 times

[Ginkan]

.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*

[tsukasa]

Well, I never got to see Unison.....
I luved .hack//GIFT. I saw it about 20 times
what an odd episode huh?


My favorite characters would have to be... all of them really XD Except Sora, he annoyed me x_x

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....:
Being turned into Skeith by Morganna

[AnimeDudde]

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

[tsukasa]

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

[Ginkan]

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]

I liked Sora right from the begining!

[AnimeDudde]

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]

I think it was the PKing part of his character that I disliked most XD Other than that, he was ok

[Ginkan]

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

[tsukasa]

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
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]

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]

nope 4th grade, but the Japanese start a year or 2 early

[AnimeDudde]

So how old would he be, 7 or 8? :eek:

[Ginkan]

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 ^_^

[Pura]

.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]

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 ;=;

[tsukasa]

So how old would he be, 7 or 8? :eek:

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!"

[AnimeDudde]

Yeah, but its funny how he has everyone so worked up :cool:

[tsukasa]

Oh yeah! I just remembered!
Memory is like my most favoritest Liminality song

I never found it ;=;

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]

I'm pretty sure it was Memory
It was on either Disc 3 or 4 of Liminality, used as the opening theme

[tsukasa]

I dont have it, but i can get it. I'll send it along with the other song.

[Ginkan]

Really?!? ^__^
*immense and infinite thank you's for forever* XD

[dannylammy]

Unison was my def. favorite. definitely.

[Manadevil]

Is this the thing that came with the game? If so, i watched my cousin's DVD. :D

[tsukasa]

yea, it was unlocked after you beat the 4th game.
