Japanese airdate: 1/8/03

.hack//legend of the twilight takes place after the events of //sign and the 4 series .hack video games. The main characters Rena and Shugo, mysteriously win a contest to use illegal character modifications of the infamous .hackers, Kite and Blackrose (the main characters from the games.)


Shugo acquires Kite's Bracelet from a myserious A.I. in "The World", Aura. The bracelet holds the power of data drain, which can bring peace or destruction. Although legend of the twilight is 14 episodes shorter than its predecessor, the anime series does not take itself as serious as .hack//sign did.
