I thought from watching 7 min preview few months ago that this series might be a lighter setting than previous .hack series, but I was wrong!

great start!
the empathy of the first half was not able to be done because I did not play any game.
but i was completely drawn in to the story at the latter half .
anyway,the animation was totally awesome.

Woot~ I think they did so much better balancing the suspense & "introduction stuff" this time than the other .hack animes....imo.

Way to leave it off at a cliffhanger though [oh noes Mary!] Though she appears relatively fine in the next ep preview....maybe....
Can't wait for the next ep...looks like we got a history lesson on the dothackers? =o

Well, it seems sge is still a lost one through the next episode. I guess Tobias and Sakuya (forgotten the RL names) are researching about the causes of her coma. I also really want to know more about Sophia(?) (the dark woman who "kills" Mary ar the end of 01).

But at first I want to watch it again with subs, since I didn't understand everything, especially not what Pi(?)/Shamrock (the Aina clone) was saying.

I then i click on the video to see it wasn't subbed.... >_> im not that good at Japanese yet. So does any one know when it will be subbed. or even how long it usually takes anime to become subbed? thanks peoples. i love .hack

Well that was fun. Looks like it's gonna be better than the others at explaining the reasoning behind players' going into comas and stuff.

There were a lot of what I'm guessing are Lost Ones hanging from the tree. I wonder why Mary was show in the preview. Also when I saw Asumi get thrown from her chair I was like "WHAT!?"

I've never been wild about the .Hack series, but this looks alright. Better than that last version they did. And of course, a coma victim. Didn't see that one coming. I'm being sarcastic obviously. But i do like this Sakuya chick. Real genki and all that. And the little cat dude. Why did they kill the little cat dude?

Loved it. (read on, spoiler free)

+ OVA production values, cheek MMO humor us mmo'ers can /smirk to, better than average BGMs/character archetypes. I also dig the real world setting. Fans of .hack can feel the nostalgia to the world as well-- i just keep getting amazed at how they bring 'the world' to life with each newer rendition. (sign, G.U/roots.)

- Typical .hack trope, like someone else said, saw the 'shocker' from a mile away--also predicted who'd be the victim as well.

Nice cast of VAs; all i can say is that for now I think it was fresh and easy, but a lot of .hack franchise take nose dives when it gets serious--to the point that it makes me wonder how it'd be if they had a chance to portray a 'casual gamer life' exposition before the 'mysteries' kick in.

K-On meets .hack//. That was weird but really good, with crisp animation and art, great characters interaction and a fantastic mood shift in the latter part and of course, the cliffhanger. I didn't expect Quantum to be this good after the disapointing Roots and Legend of the Twilight etc... (GU was good though).

That was good. Really really good. I'm glad to see that my hopes have not been ill-placed in this. Everything about it was awesome, I'm so so looking forward to the second episode!

I almost wish it was longer, but then that would deter from the quality and everything. I'll just sit here and be happy with what I've got. :V

Looks really good. Definately the best .Hack since //sign

loved their avatars being copies of Kite, Black Rose, and Balmung. Hopefully with the one girl out (name escapes me), we'll get an Orca look alike added to complete the Azure Knights ;)

More likely Hermit is the latest incarnation of the cat person AI. First it was Momo in .Hack\\Sign. He died and became Mia in the .Hack game series. Now we have another illegal cat character who's connected to things ;)

I was skeptical about this series, but it may turn out to be one of the most enjoyable arcs from the franchise.

I enjoy watching people's favorites. Recommend your favorite show to me, even if I have it dropped/on hold.

I only saw a few glimpses of the .hack//sign anime so I was a little nervous that I'd not get what was going on to jump into this albeit very short run series, but you know, I loved it. It was fun, it had action, drama, and a humor element that I hadn't been expecting. I haven't laughed so hard at a show that I was expecting to be more action than drama, in a Very, Very long time. I know I'll finish this, but it's kind of like a delicate delicious piece of pie. I'll savor it a bit at a time. ;)
