Being a person who once they find something interesting, they like it. [That's me] I actually found this anime extremely interesting. I'm not someone who really enjoys all the fighting against monsters in the series. I enjoyed watching it every second, even some episodes people didn't like, I enjoyed. I rated this 10/10 if I could go higher I would.

Roots lacked the development and suspense that made .hack//SIGN so great. The character animations were rather bland to be honest and the story flow was...mediocre at best. This is rather disappointing since the games are great and surpass the anime in every way.

Also, this series would have done much better if Yuki Kajiura had kept doing the music. Ali Project is one of the worst groups to ever come out of Japan and their pitiful excuse for "music" only served to degrade the anime even more. Luckily, the opening theme "Silly-Go-Round" by FictionJunction YUUKA was good.

I would say the storyline was quite slow but since I started to play the game it make me understand the game a lot better.

I didn't care for the series at all. I had to force myself to watch it as the pace was slow and the story lagged. I didn't really like any of the characters.

SIGN was much...much better.

Such a shitty pacing.
Removing all the interesting characters who had DEVELOPMENT for characters who did fuck all at the halfway point was the nail in the coffin.

The only saving grace of this show was the enjoyable music.

This series is soooo boring so far..I am 14 episodes in and it is almost unbearable to watch! I found it funny that even in the show one of the characters mentioned how "bored" they were xD. Honestly if the characters are bored of doing nothing what do they think (they as in the producers of the show) the audience is going to think? This show is so incredibly slow, there's only like 10 episodes left and barely anything has happened..what a waste. Compare this show to SAO (somewhat similar storyline..except way better), pretty much same amount of episodes..but soo much more happens because they jam pack every episode with action and storyline. .hack//roots is the same crap every episode.."look for twilight key?" "Where is Ovan?" etc..mrgh..I hope the last 10 episodes will pick up, otherwise I'm giving this show a 1/10.

The show isn't meant to have development. It simply introduces some characters and the setting for the game, which is where the real development happens.

I've never seen a .hack// anime series before, and I like it, especially Tabby, she's at least a fun, entertaining character.

Just got done re-watching this show. Honestly, it feels like it's trying to ride on SIGN's coattails but doesn't have the stuff to back it up. There are weird cuts, pauses and animation mistakes all over the place and the music wasn't nearly as good as it was in SIGN. The story was a bit clunky but overall fine, except for the fact that it's unfinished and makes you play three games if you want a proper conclusion because of Cyberconnect's usual bullshit. Tabby's definitely my favourite character, everyone else is just kind of... meh. That's kind of my opinion on the whole show... meh.

How I feel about series if you are a true dot hack fan you would appreciate the series it gave me more to understand about the game I've played the game a million times but then I finally decided to watch roots I remember trying to stay up at 5:00 in the morning Eastern standard Time to watch the anime on cartoon Network AKA adult swim b talk about a blast from the past but I'll admit the storyline is kind of all over the place but I enjoyed it cuz I'm a true dot hack fan

Watched it awhile ago, but I can't say I was a huge fan. I found it's story and characters to be pretty boring. .Hack//Sign may not be for everyone, but I felt that show did a much better job at fleshing out it's characters. This series, on the other hand, lacked the depth that Sign had. If .Hack//Roots would have had better pacing and more action, it would have been worth watching. I don't know how to describe it, but .Hack//Roots felt like it was BEGGING to be a more action-oriented series than .Hack//Sign, but it just wouldn't deliver.
