| Quantum was alright. I wouldn't really recommend the others. |
| No it's complete trash right alongside with SOA |
 |
| Sign definitely isn't. It's about people standing around talking....and talking....and talking.... |
 |
| Sign is incredibly slow but has fantastic characters. I lot of people really hate it, but I thought it was pretty decent despite the snail pace. |

| .hack//sign had some nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting but it's incredibly slow paced. I'm not sure about the others in the series but I don't hear that great of things about them. |
SpaceHamster said: I gave one of the .hack//SIGN 9/10, so it should probably be worth it once you get into it. Also anyone find the naming of the show ridiculously retarded and wish to enlighten me on why they did it that way? Probably cause it sounded cool or something. |
| .hack//Sign was more of a character analysis than a show about video games. Or even a show at that. I enjoyed the talking, but that's only because I'm a sucker for that type of stuff. It would be crazy boring for anyone not used to the pace though. I haven't watched any of the others, so I can't comment on those. |
| As someone with no experience with the .hack// game franchise and only secondhand MMO experience: Sign was decent, Twilight was LOLTwincest, and Roots was an absolute slog (with a poor/game tie-in ending) that was only made bearable by the busty catgirl character. If you like the genre, Sign is good enough and self-contained enough that you don't have to go on to other entries if you don't want to. But perhaps the best comparison to make would be to shows like Noir, Madlax, Avenger, and Tsubasa Chronicle (TV). They've got the same studio (Bee Train), same director (Koichi Mashimo), and same composer (Yuki Kajiura) as the .hack// franchise. If those shows put you to sleep, .hack// will be the same if not worse. |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Only the CGI movie I watched was worth it imo http://myanimelist.net/anime/11375/.hack//The_Movie:_Sekai_no_Mukou_ni the rest of them is boring as fuck |
 |
| .hack//SIGN is the most misleading series imaginable. The pitch: someone trapped in an MMO. So, you would think it would have action like an MMO, questing like an MMO, maybe some MMO jargon. Nope. It's a slow-paced anime that couldn't have less to do with MMOs. Most of the screen time is spent on characters sitting around in dull conversation. Soundtrack is great though. |
| Just watch the 4 episode of Quantum and call it a day for the series. |
| So it's not worth watching? |
|
| Sign had excellent writing and characterization, as well as development. Tsukasa is one of the most unique and substantial protagonists that I've seen in anime. If it doesn't suit your pace, that's on you. Nothing wrong with the show itself. My recommendation is to watch it. |

White_Sonja said: do give this anime a shot, in the end it's a lot like Lain more than SAO or Log Horizon. This. I've been rewatching .hack//SIGN because I remember watching it on TV when I was a little kid, and now I'm realizing that a lot of the psychology in this show hits dangerously close to home. It's honestly helping me heal. Think of it as a psychological drama more than strictly an MMO action anime. |
| After having seen it complete, I would not recommend it, unless you have no anime in queue to see. |
| You might not enjoy it but you should watch it. Most people would say the sound track is the most outstanding element of the anime which it is rightfully so. It also introduced the whole stuck in internet game story line which other anime titles have been based off. |
