Somewhere in the MMORPG called "The World," a group is gathered at a pub, awaiting the start of an event. There, old friends and acquaintances are reunited, including those who rarely log on. Some are even forging new relationships for the first time. Together, invited by the hacker Helba, the group leaves for the event in the Net Slums where a celebration awaits them all.

Once again, be aware that just like my .hack//Intermezzo review, I cannot talk much about this anime because it's so short.

However, the plot just felt like a means of giving our central crew some minor, unnecessary closure while passing the torch onto a palette-swapped group for the next .hack series. I know this was an issue in the original series, but the derpy eyes were extremely noticeable this time around with all the close-ups. And the ending to it felt particularly weird. I get that you want a happy rounding out of the series, but ...

The Profound Beauty of the .hack//SIGN OST Music

The Profound Beauty of the .hack//SIGN OST Music

Although it was never the most popular, the .hack anime possesses some of the most memorable music in any anime. If you’ve never given .hack a try, its OST is the best place to start.
