Summary: Massive Online RPG
Review: For any fan of any online games, everquest online, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galixies, etc. should feel a twinge of "I've done this." :)As players become more involved in the online personas some feel like Tsukasa and the other chrs. Ive gotten the DVD and it does have a slow start but this doesnt detract from the enjoyment of the show.

Summary: Classic Anime at its best!
Review: Have you ever wondered what it was like to be Mario's world? To be able to live in the game for awhile? Add more people and this would describe what dotHack has to offer. The name of the game is "The World" and they are able to act just like it was a real world. But, something disturbing has happened. Tsukasa, having an extra ordinary gift, is causing confusion and chaos among the top players and the administrators. However, the only thing Tsukasa is worried about is trying to log out of the game. The story is given the five stars, because it has some amazing twists. I was very surprised when I first watched the movie. To rate the DVD itself, I would give it four stars. The music over powers a lot of the movie and it is hard to hear some of the dialog. This shouldn't stop you from buying it. It just took me to turn up my TV on some parts. Conclusion. If you like anime, played an Massive Multilayer Game Online, like video games, or curious about the whole plot, then this DVD is 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: Not worth the money....
Review: I bought this at the recommendations of many of my friends and after reading several reviews. This is purely a character-driven story and only has one or two fights that are actually worth watching. All in all not up to the standards of a all-around good anime...

Summary: bleh
Review: I bought this because I found nothing but awesome reviews. I love watching anime but I did NOT love this. I generally prefer watching dubs if they are good, but this just didn't do it for me. I think maybe if I stuck to watching this subbed, then it would not have been so bad. Probably. As for the action sequences, they show a bunch of them as they are about to start, and then before anything hits anything, cut to a scene where they talk about the fight or not at all. I don't really mind all the talking (love Witch Hunter Robin) but again, I ran into the dub issue. The acting just didn't work for me. Points for the DVD extras though.

Summary: This "boxed set" is misleading
Review: I bought this thinking I was buying the whole series as a "boxed set" this is the definition used with every other boxed set. It is a collection of all the dvds in a series in one package. The boxed set I purchased had only 1 dvd and 5 episodes, I am returning it and would like my money back.

Summary: Wow! A fantastic value in a fantastic package!
Review: I can't even believe how much you get for {the money} in this set. I've enjoyed the anime of .hack//SIGN on Cartoon Network since it recently debuted, and I especially loved the music, so I actually came looking for just the soundtrack. When I saw that just the soundtrack to the show was around {money}, and then I saw this, it was a no-brainer. With this box set, you get a nice treasure-chest type box (heavy cardboard with string latch for storage), and inside you'll find a very high quality (XL) T-shirt, the Volume I DVD (5 episodes w/ its own nice plastic case and paper inserts), the Original Soundtrack (awesome, awesome music w/ plastic case and booklet), the little "Grunty" plush animal, 4 very nice artwork postcards and a card of stickers (all in a protective clear envelope), and a demo of the Playstation 2 game (which I can't even play since I don't have a PS2, but I don't care - lol). If you like this show and the music, you can't go wrong with this. It's rare where I find value in anything nowadays, but this price is unbeatable, especially for everything you get. I'm not disappointed, and I'm hoping Volume 2 will continue this tradition (with shirts focusing on the other characters too - this one focuses on the lead female).

Summary: Slow pace is just the beginning
Review: I don't know why, but this series seems to be really popular on release...which is interesting because clearly a lot of people haven't even watched an episode, yet they are very excited and proclaiming the triumph of this anime. What you fail to understand when you start with this series is that the slow-paced story is just the beginning. Once the story gets going you start to believe there will be some really amazing, quasi-religious theme going on about consciousness, computing, and the nature of reality. Little did you know until around episode 20 that the story isn't going anywhere. It is now, when you have wasted so many hours watching, that you begin to get nervous. As it turns out the ending IS a total rip off - there is no closure, no clarity, in fact virtually any recognizable or sensible conflict. .hack//SIGN was a really beautiful, haunting series to watch, but my recommendation is don't waste your time. You will be sorry when you finally hit that last episode and don't understand what the hell happened.

Summary: .hack review
Review: I dont really have much to say besides .Hack, in my opinyon is a great series. There has been lots of complaints about .Hack's slow moving pace and how there is not as much "action" as in most other anime. But personlly i think this is all part of .Hacks unique charm. The DVD exras arnt much to be impressed by, there about whats on almost every Anime DVD i own. (and im teling you thats alot) with the exception of some. But this is all i have to complane about.. and im not complaning! Also, the Music of .Hack//Sign is awsome! and the soundtrack(s)are definatly worth adding to your collection! (but of coarse this is my opinyon) And as far as charaters go, i was extreamly pleased, each charater is developed in such a way that you could relate to them... And I was glad to see a strong willed Female charater (mimiru) instead of the whiney girl who cant take care of herself. Ok.. now we come to Tsukasa..... Tsukasa .... there are mixed feelings about Tsukasa, some people like him... others cant stand him. I do have to admit he is not a very "motivated charater" he is always depressed and he just wants people to leave him alone, so hes not exactally pushing the story along. Tsukasa can also be kind of selfish and perhaps a little spoiled. Sure hes a little whiney and would rather sit in a dark corner and mope in his own misery all day then acctally get out and do something.... I found that Tsukasa was growing on me... to tell you the truth hes grown to be my favorite charater in the whole serise. And after all, he's got pleanty of things to be sad about.
