Product Description
Amazon.com
.hack//Sign is set in the world within an online game. Tsukasa, a powerful Wave Master, finds himself lost in the cyberworld, with little memory of how he got there. More significantly, he's unable to log out of the game and is apparently immune to many of its restrictions. He may be the focus of an impending crisis linked to the mysterious Key of the Twilight. As he wanders through different realms, Tsukasa meets spunky girl warrior Mimiru; earnest soldier Bear; the Crimson Knights, who maintain order in the game-world; and genially heroic Crim, a Heavy Spear wielder. Tsukasa also encounters a potent but unseen entity who promises to protect him--and does. Handsomely designed, well animated, and skillfully directed, .hack//Sign stands out as an example of how to turn a game into a series that can stand on its own merits. (Rated 13 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

I loved this story. Besides a interesting plot, with tons of twists, characters who have real reasons for logging on and doing what they do, great music and good artwork, it really reminded me of when I use to role play (on and off line) in college.
The ending might be strange but remember that it does fit and also that it leaves it open because this anime is linked to the game. From what I understand, the events are nothing but a prologue - the background story to the game. Instead of a tiny booklet that they always insert into the game's case, to give it some kind of history, you have a anime that is 25 episodes long, with 26th episode as a stand alone flash-back, the 27th episode as a clip show of the important moments and the 28th episode as the final ending, the final episode set after the events in the four part video game!
But even without the game the ending still fits - after all, the anime is set in a online game. And you have to log out sometimes!
I won't say much about the series because chances are you already know a lot about it. If you don't the plots pretty simple: A kid gets stuck in an mass multiplayer online role playing game and other characters try to find out why that happened. The series works well as a stand alone and you do not need to play the games to enjoy the series as the series is set before the games. The case to this series is pretty cool. The actual case is rectangular, probably no bigger than any anime legends case, covered but another case that contains a pad with three little pins. Covering that is the hexagon you see in the picture. I got mine used, and the only thing that bothers me is that the hexagon gets caught on the pin case which makes taking it off and putting it back on a pain. Other than that the dvds are protected very well and look great in the case. It arrived on time and was not damaged at all when it arrived and so far all the dvds work and do not have any scratches even though I bought it used. I do not believe that this series edition contains .hack//gift and if you were hoping to get that you may want to just buy the special edition of the last dvd as .hack//gift is on a separate disk.
Without spoiling too much, may I just say that this series is not full of action or fanservice like most modern anime. What .hack//SIGN DOES have, is a truly unique setting/concept, characters that feel very real, and a willingness to tackle subjects that most animated shows wouldn't touch. Issues that are explored at one time or another are depression, social anxiety, homosexuality, sense of identity, selfishness, etc etc. The show can at times become too philosophical for its own good (it is VERY dialogue heavy, with many long diatribes that have characters ruminating on various topics related to the game, and not), but it somehow manages to entertain and surprise.
dotHack has always been one of my favorite shows, the subject matter is interesting, i consider most of the characters well defined. It might seem a bit slow at first, but it starts to maintain a good measured pace.
All of the discs were in good condition and there were very little scratches or no scratches on the discs.
