    Well, the SAO books came out in 2009 and the original .hack series came out well before then, like 7 years prior? .hack series started developing around 1998-99, so .hack was technically the first of the two.

    • @sapphirefractal4506
      @sapphirefractal4506 6 месяцев назад +2

      The SAO books from 2009 are not the original publication. The original web series was released in 2002 around the same time .hack//AI buster was published. It takes quite a bit of time to get a completed book published so those ideas were already set in stone prior - they had those ideas in their heads already. They all share influences from the 90s like Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix, Phantasy Star Online, etc.
      Also .hack started as something completely unrecognizable before it morphed into what we know of it today. It's just a coincidence that SIGN and SAO started with a similar premise.

    • @CrimsonMey
      @CrimsonMey Месяц назад +3

      ​@@sapphirefractal4506 I don't believe it's coincidence. .hack//sign dropped in april 2002 and the game .hack//infection released june of the same year. .hack was a multi platform franchise. That doesn't sprout out of the ground like a mushroom. That's been in development far longer than one dude posting a story online. The company would have been marketing the show and the games months if not at least a year prior to release. So people would already have known of promo material and basic plot hook.

    SIGN is basically part 1 of the story and the .hack IMOQ games are part 2 to the story. If you like SIGN you'll probably like the game's continuation of that story with a new cast of characters. Though I wouldn't blame you for pirating and emulating them as Quarantine goes for $250 these days, hoping in vain that Bandai Namco gives the go ahead for a remaster or remake of those games at some point.
    After you beat each of the games there's a episode of the Liminality OVA that corresponds to them. The same studio and composer behind SIGN did this OVA as well, if you think SIGN's opening song is a banger every opening song for Liminality is just as good, and the ending song for the OVA is amazing as well. They add quite a bit more lore to the story and give some context to what's going on in the real world during the events of the games.
    If you plan on reviewing the other two anime I'm going to warn you that they are no where near as good as SIGN is. Legend of the Twilight's anime is pure cancer, especially after it deviates from the Manga. The Manga is significantly better and made even better if you read the first AI Buster novel beforehand. Roots is a very poorly paced explanation of what happens in the 8 month time skip at the beginning of G.U. with most of the characters not mattering to G.U. much at all. It's mostly just a big waste of time.
    I highly recommend checking out .hack G.U. Last Recode. It frequently goes on sale for around $10 on Playstation and Steam, and you do not need to watch Roots to enjoy it. I'm a bit miffed on how dumbed down the difficulty is with this remaster, but the story is still great regardless. Watch G.U. Trilogy afterwards to see the cutscenes really polished up and turned into some pretty cool fight scenes.
    Lastly if you're going to check out the 3rd series of .hack I recommend Quantum, a 3 episode OVA, and the Movie/Beyond the World which was only released in Japan. Both are very good entries to the series, but the rest of the 3rd series is pretty messy.
    There's a butt ton of Manga and Novel retellings of the game's story, but I think the only one that is really worth it is Another Birth as it goes more in depth with the events that happen in the IMOQ games from Blackrose's perspective. I think the only other Novel I really liked was Cell and that was about a random character that showed up in one of the later episodes of Roots. it was a pretty compelling story about a character infected with AIDA.
    Also comparing .hack to SAO is blasphemy and I won't stand for it lol.

      @@KingKasper You're welcome and I hope you enjoy if you do. Honestly both of these series stole the concept from Tron.
      Also the screenplay writer for the Ghost in the Shell movie was behind the story for the first series, and the Evangelion artist was the character designer for it as well. It's kind of crazy that a fairly unknown game developer at the time, CyberConnect2, was able to pull off such a big multimedia franchise.
      It's a bit of a shame they're mostly known for their anime tie in games these days, but I highly recommend their other original IP if you can play them. Fuga Melodies of Steel, Tail Concerto, Solatorobo, Silent Bomber, and Asura's Wrath.

    100%, this is my favorite anime, game, and probably comic if I ever had the chance to read them… I remember playing this with my two best friends in early childhood before being separated from them by my parents’ divorce. We spent so many hours playing the series, attempting to reach higher levels than the other two, and it led to some wonderful times. Friendly competition is so influential in a positive way when it’s done right.
    The nostalgia that comes from the anime and games sends me spiraling to this day… this comment isn’t relative to the series in itself, but the fact that we spent that time together on the .Hack//SIGN games specifically is what makes it so nostalgic for me to this day. I have yet to complete both .HACK//SIGN and .HACK//G.U… Part of me craves the completion, but I still hold dearly those memories of back then and I feel like the completion would lead to me forgetting those times.
    Hands down, this is my favorite series, again. In realistic fashion, The Matrix is my favorite live action series. I guess it’s foretelling infatuation with technology, while still understanding the implications of withholding that which we as a species cannot control, and are not ready for… only time will tell.

I watched one or two anime and I dont really remember which ones they were, but I remember vividily when .Hack//Sign came on and it was like nothing i'd ever seen before, then it got kinda freaky as after I watched it the same episode kept repeating over and over again throughout the rest of that day.

    I felt the same way! I was pretty confused on what the show was about when I watched as a kid but I decided to rewatch again a few years ago on my mid 20s and I had such a changed perspective of the series. the psychological aspect really moved me 🥹
    wish I could rewatch dot hack roots the same way but ugh I'm already in love with current Haseo that it was hard to revisit him when he was still his selfish and cocky self 😩

    I’m playing IMOQ (I rn) after watching Sign a few months ago and I gotta say sign put me to sleep, I know it’s essentially a lore dump but holy hell they could have made it you know have some action, or hell even had the characters break their monotone talking up. I’ve played G.U. And it feels like the polar opposite, Haseo can’t stop screaming and everyone in sign just woke up. Infection feels like a solid middle ground so far, and I’m enjoying it 1000x more than sign lol

    this is one of my favorite shows of all time. i watched it when i was 13 or 14 and i find it funny that at the end it turns out tsukasa and subaru were lesbian the whole time, and later in life (18) i realized im lesbian lol. i haven’t ever done drugs but this show made me feel weird and tripped out. also it’s probably yuki kajiura’s best soundtrack, which is saying something considering she did the noir and madoka magica soundtracks. this show is just so underrated.

    .Hack sign was actually very in advance in its time because it's also LGBT as fuck, a girl who is transformed as a male and have a relationship with a girl and then when they get back in the real world they are more than friend as we can see in .hack zero, they have date.
