The guy in the pink shirt? Dont you mean BEAR? lol at least thats what I assumed, his voice actor is Bear from .hack//Sign, plus it'd make sense since the games happened AFTER the anime.

Seems like Mai is a bit lonely in her house. Well I guess Tokuoka is accompaning her, even though she thinks he's kinda creepy.

I feel bad for the main character. Her boyfriend is in a coma, she has no friends, her parents are never around, and she's hanging out with a weurd guy.

Pretty good episode, not as good as sign so far, but still good.

The animation is very generic, but the story is good.
But, it needs a little more bg info on the characters, which we probably won't get b/c this is a limited 4 episode OVA.

It's pretty cool that she has a "shield" against the world or
.

And lol, I thought Tokuoka was Bear at first too, but now I see it's impossible. It's just Bandai using the same VA for different characters.

I'm excited for the next ep, at first I figured all four eps would be stand alone, but it looks like that isn't the case which is +1.

Urahara Out!!

I guess they pretty much fooled everyone.... I thought mr. pink shirt was Beer too. lol. So i was like din ding ding Mimiru tht's his profession right there lol....well was anyway. Ma, guess i was wrong there goes strike three. *sigh*
Good episode thought, a bit put back going straight from watching sign to this. Human point of view is a good plus but i would have liked to see what they were seeing when they were actually playing the game to get them so freaked out...

Him being Bear never crossed my mind, they don't even have the same seiyuu. I watched with subs tho, so i went to check the English VAs and they are different for Tokuoka and Bear. So why are you guys saying they have the same voice? Also we got a hint about Bear's profession and some of his face, doesn't match with Tokuoka on my eyes.

Girl got some pretty eyes. I liked the detail of the search engine, ''gooogle'', sure, if it got one extra ''o'' it sounds ok :p

Near the end of the episode when they start playing, it is //Sign's OST, happy i got to listen to it again :)

That was pretty sick, and the girl reminds me of Aura (probably this Aura's version). I wonder why only the girl can hear the sounds, probably because she grew up around music and violin so is more suitable to detect sounds than the average person; also wonder why only some guys pass out when there's millions of players.

Bottomline is this is a 4 episode OVA broken up into separate pieces that were bundled with 4 different .hack games. Judging the quality of this show based off of that I'd say its alright if youre a huge .hack fan (whch you probably are if you have played the ps2 games and watched this ova o begin with). However, if you just watch the episodes and have never played the game the animation is low end, the characters are ok (with a couple actually being entertaining), and no real time for any meaningful character development. Mr pink shirt ftw

Well with the news that the .hack franchise is being revived from a coma (see what I did there?) with the games being remastered I thought to finally dig in to this. People seem to think .Hack is boring but that's because it tries to tell an interesting story. Unheard of today I know.

OVA starts awesome. Art, music, voice acting. I appreciated it all.

The aesthetic is nice. It looks similar to our world but it's clearly an alternate world. I also guess Japan during this time is very libertarian or something like that.
