Welll What can I say about the .hack franchise ? If were to...attempt to describe it in one or two sentences , it might sound like this :.hack , in my opinion, the most worthwhile gigantic
project Bandai I have ever seen !heart
The franchise has some of the biggest names like [color=#0000ff]Yoshiyuki Sadamoto [/color](creator of the Evangelion manga and characters) designed the large cast, [color=#0000ff]Kazunori Ito[/color] (Ghost in the Shell creator) heads the screenplays, and [color=#0000ff]Koichi Mashimo [/color]acts as producer.
But first , becausee I know you'll wantn it by the end , here's the list of .hack stories
chronologically :
[color=#ff0000]Hack//AI Buster (Novel)[/color]
[color=#ff0000]Hack//Sign (TV Series)[/color]
[color=#ff0000]hack//INTERMEZZO[/color]
[color=#ff0000]hack//INTEGRATION aka UNISON[/color]
[color=#ff0000]hack//ZERO[/color]
[color=#ff0000]Hack//PS2 Games (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine) [/color]
[color=#ff0000]Hack//Liminality (OAV with PS2 Games)[/color]
[color=#ff0000]Hack//Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu (Manga and now Anime) [/color]
[color=#ff0000]hack//GIFT[/color]
[color=#ff0000]hack//DUSK[/color]
[size=12][color=#00ff00]Anime[/color][/size]
In my judgment the full-sized .hack TV show , .hack//SIGN , has proven to be one of the more
popular anime television. ( Co-written and Co-produced by Bee Train , known for series like Noir and Haibane Renmei ).
The plot twists will screw you freely :D , it is definetly uniquly weird . Episodes end at strange times and conflicts are left unresolved...character designs, color schemes, and backgrounds are all beautiful !heart
The only downside to SIGN is that story is slow .
( [color=#0000ff]The series boasts 26 episodes and two TV specials [/color] )
[size=12][color=#ff0000]Part II : hack//DUSK, aka .hack//TASOGARE NO UDEWA DENSETSU (Legend of the Twilight[/color])[/size]
The second , very cute television series and I don't care what the other peps think about it .
Earlier you mentioned about how the genre is differrnt ( one comedy the other one drama )
Rumer has it [color=#0000ff]Bee Train[/color] didn't take control with this one like with SIGN. The three creators of [color=#0000ff]Project .hack[/color] reportedly wanted DUSK to be a romance/comedy break from the intense emotion of SIGN, but some say DUSK sums up what SIGN didn't.
Overall Animation in DUSK is about the same as in SIGN , but the character designs in my
opinion are based off the manga here . ( believe me since I am a manga idiot ;) )
[color=#00ff00]The series has only 12 short episodes[/color] , which is a shame :(( and it follows a different story
from the manga .
[size=12][color=#ff0000]MANGA[/color][/size]
The .hack manga from [color=#0000ff]TOKYOPOP [/color] ,called hack//Legend of the Twilight (TASOGARE NO UDEWA DENSETSU in Japanese), was written, drawn, and published in the early developmental stages of Project .hack
considering hat DUSK is supposed to happen after all other events in Project .hack .
everuthing about this manga is the same as DUSK , only this time more comedy .(I got 3 vol)
[size=12][color=#ff0000]GAMES[/color][/size]
Okey I am on the half of the way !dodge
This is not my field and I don't like to spoil the story , so I MAKE IT AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE
.hack just wouldn't be .hack without the games !heart . The four games released under
the .hack title as far as I know , all of them for the ps2 console .
The first volume , fully named [color=#ff0000].hack//INFECTION EXPANSION, is simply known as .hack//INFECTION.[/color]
I didn't play it , but a friend of mine ( he is an insane addicted game crazy :D )believe that the battle system is decent and well-balanced.
The second game , .[color=#ff0000]hack//MALIGNANT MUTATION or simply .hack//MUTATION[/color] , is the better game .
[color=#ff0000]hack//EROSION POLLUTION aka .hack//OUTBREAK [/color]is game #3 and the riveting climax of Project .hack . I think OUTBREAK is the most challenging and exiting
volume of the series , ( the opening song is just simply outstanding !heart )
The fourth and final volume, .[color=#ff0000]hack//ABSOLUTE ENCIRCLEMENT (.hack//QUARANTINE)[/color]
(awsome game wooow ! )
[size=12][color=#ff0000]OVAs and TV Specials[/color][/size]
The first OVA series of Project .hack, .[color=#0000ff]hack//LIMINALITY[/color]
The first volume of the OVA is called " [color=#00ff00]In the Case of Mai Minase ,[/color] "
and produced along with .hack//INFECTION and released as a DVD bundle for those who bought the game .
It is , in fact , not as good as SIGN or DUSK nor popular .
Musis is fairly good and the script is excellent , so deserve a credit :)
hack//LIMINALITY contains a total of four volumes: "In the Case of Mai Minase" included with .hack//INFECTION, "In the Case of Aihara Yuki" with .hack//MUTATION, "In the Case of Tohno Yoko" with .hack//OUTBREAK, and finally, "Trismegistus" released with .hack//QUARANTINE
Next , [color=#00ff00]hack//INTERMEZZO[/color] is the supposed episode 27 of .hack//SIGN
there is not much about this one , it's pretty much like any other episodes of SIGN .
[color=#00ffff].hack//INTEGRATION[/color] marks the second SIGN TV special. Even though it doesn't technically continue SIGN, people still call it .hack//SIGN episode 28 (AKA UNISON) and so must I.
The weirdest and most comedic installment of project .hack would definitly be .[color=#ff0000]hack//GIFT[/color]
GIFT is a otally insane no .hack storyline purpose .The character designs in GIFT are totally hilarious .
This info is from the best of my knowledge , so IF i missed something say so
at the end some nice pic for chill offffffff
