just curious.. does the anime hack sign, occur after the game or smth?

cause in episode one begining, it just show tsukasa being lost in a cave, it doesn't explain how it got there, in fact, he's actually not even physically connected to the game.

thats one thing tt confuses me.

In America there is nothing that takes place before .hack//sign and it is the first of the .hack project. There is a novel explaining the beginning of the game and about balmung and such but it hasn't been translated yet. It is assumed that Tsukasa was just exploring the dungean. Later on in that episode he explains what happened before he regained conciousness.

This show is very complicated and you really need to pay attention to understand it, which is why i like it more than your average action animes. There is alot you can learn from the show but if you really wanna get indepth with .hack I would suggest getting the games, which follows up the series a couple years later. Your really missing alot though thats in the middle of the series which explains what is going on. Expecially when it gets to the point when they are meeting Harold Horwic. Maybe watch the episodes in order then you might understand why everything is so weird in the end

Spoiler:

Aura is...difficult to explain, she's essentially an AI program with influence within the world. in the games she gives Kite his bracelet. Essentially she is the "child" of the creator (harald).
Tsukasa cannot log out because Aura is unborn...or something. Aura cannot be born because Tsukasa cannot log out. I'm pretty sure it's when Tsukasa decides (s)he WANTS to log out that (s)he actually does (Tsukasa is actually a girl)
i'm pretty sure Tsukasa had a bunch of insecurities in real life and was somehow "drawn into" the game itself.
it's similar to how Orca, Sieg, Sora, and 2-3hers are drawn in (an article in one of the games lists 6 people went comatose...Orca and Sieg (Sieg is mentioned in .hack//LIMINALITY, he's Mai's boyfriend) are obviously two of them, and at the end of SIGN Sora goes comatose too. Even though Tsukasa is no longer comatose by the time the games start, she could still count as one of the unexplained comatose people.

[brassmonkey]

oh no!!!!

i accidentally downloaded another anime.. hack dusk!

it also talks abt The World, and Aura.. but the artistry is different. mimiru is a kid. and Aura looks like the bad guy

is it linked to hack sign, can i understand hack sign without hack dusk??

hmm why Tsukasa doesn't want to log out. but he isn't connected to a computer.

Just watch the hack sign series from start to end already ~_~
If you don't have the patience to sit through it, then you probably won't have the patience to sit down and think about how everything fits together.

haha thats why i read forums where ppl argue abt such stuff. that way i understand better.

i read somewhere, Tsukasa's player was put into a coma when Tsukasa was Data Drained. While Tsukasa was in a coma, he somehow kept a tenuous mental link with the game - specifically, while his mind in the real world seemed to be totally shut down, really his thoughts were in 'The World'... basically it was like he was playing 'The World' even though he wasn't at a console.

=P

no idea how accurate is that

love u guys for replying. tnx

[Dreamhacker]

Now 5 of the .hack//SIGN DVD's been released in Europe, but does anyone know when the 6th disc will come? Kinda wanna know the end of it soon, and I don't know where to look for anouncements about the series releases...

[MartAnimE]

Could you please tell me where in Europe were those released? And which company is releasing it? And any information on the available languages subtitles would be great also!

[Tabiree]

Look at www.animeondvd.com 's forums, paticularly in the Region 2(UK)/4(australia) forum.

Thanks for the information Actually, when I've read Europe I was thinking France, Germany, Spain, Portugal... but it seems you were talking about the UK release... anime dvd releases on UK are much more accessible, since they usually just change the region 1 US dvd release to region 2 and save a lot of work with that (adv does that)...
For a moment I thought dynamic was releasing .hack//SIGN around the rest of Europe or something...
