The .hack//Series was always one of my favorites. It has astoundish storytelling, great soundtracks and likeable charakters. I have to warn you though: If you are not a fan of long dialogs and little action, or didn't like SIGN, you should stay away from roots.
Story 9:
Like its predecessor, roots has a well written story. While it is nothing completly unique, it still manages to draw the viewer in and makes them want to unravel the mysteries behind it. It has a lot more action than SIGN, which was one of weak points of the series. Who loved SIGN will like ROOTS as well.
Art 8:
ROOTS shows
...
you many well drawn panoramas of the different areas. The character drawings are fair average. Some of them will look similar, which is intended, because of the online game setting.
Sound 10:
ALI Project had follow in big footsteps and did well. While it still can't be compaired to Yuki Kajiuras masterpiece, it fits the scenes and has some awesome songs.
Characters 9:
I liked Haseos change as the story processed. You can fell with him, as he despairs over the loss of Shino, which he hold very dear to himself and the absence of his mentor Ovan, when he would need him the most.
Ovan himself is a charismatic leader, but remains mysterious, as he reveals little of his ambition. The rest of the guildmembers are typical characters.
