New .hack anime announced

my best speculation: the .hack anime will probably be off AI Buster.

The new anime will probably be about what lead to the event of G.U., since they do leave a large space in between the last .hack to G.U.

Yeah you maybe right but I'm kind of happy to see a new anime well be coming out even if it's about .Hack//G.U. or .Hack//Sign, or .Hack//AI Buster...but I wish they would let more info on it it make me think about mroe then I should.

well i guess i should toss in my 2 cents now.

i think the style of the anime should probably be more like SIGN. As far as LotT, which i liked because i showed a lighter side to the .Hack universe. But like the majority of the series, as in .Hack//Sign, Liminality, and the PS2 games, they were more serious and had very interesting story lines, which were also linked to each other in a sense, which added more to the story in general, but thats kinda obvious by now. lol
overall i did prefer SIGN over the other .Hacks, even though i liked them all equally, so its just my opinion that this new anime should be similar in look and character and story perspective that SIGN had.

either way, what ever way they make this anime, im sure it will be good, and ill be sure to watch.

maybe with the new book in print now it may have something to do with that?

Hmm....let's see...
.hack//AI Buster 1 and 2 in the beginning. Then .hack//SIGN. Next comes .hack//IMOQ (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine) along with .hack//Liminality. Followed by .hack//DUSK (Legends, LOTT, LOTB, Legend of the Twilight's Bracelet, whatever you want to call it. Dusk is easiest to remember but Legend Bracelet of the Twilight is the actual Japanese name) and finally coming to .hack//G.U. and the new anime will be somewhere there. Where does .hack//ZERO come in then? And how can they still have ideas for a new anime anyway?! These people are brilliant.
.hack//AI Buster would probably make a good anime or manga if they could do it right. .hack//DUSK was better as a manga and made more sense...the anime just kinda...was there. Plus Rena got annoying and so did Shugo with all the "RENA!!!" "SHUGOOO!~" ...I got kinda tired of that XD And then in SIGN...Tsukasa with his/her whining...but people really bash him for that...think of it...the game A GAME!! becomes your reality and you don't know what or where you are and where your body is in real life. Imagine that folks before you go on about that...but the whole Rena!/Shugo! thing got annoying XD
I enjoyed .hack//Liminality a good bit. Most people don't care for it since they don't give it a chance. "The real world is boring...that's why the have the game." But the last episode of Liminality is the best...watching the others and working up to it is so much fun! And playing the games, reading the manga and books, and watching the animes...you find out just how expansive the story of .hack is and you wonder...where does the truth begin or end and the aspects of the game "The World" itself actually take effect.

Sweetie, you're going to need to tone it down with that dual-picture signature.

Us wrote:In addition, there has become an issue with the sizes of signatures, seeing that some are rather large. We please ask you to keep them as small as possible as it throws off the template on small monitors and so many have to scroll way over to see. So please keep images to no more than 600 pixels wide, and 150 pixels tall.

(This may have already been said)...but what if the anime shows a story that happened in the three-year period of time between the end of the manga (LoTT) and the beginning of G.U.? Or is there something already made that takes place in that time period? Otherwise, I say they are making an anime of ai buster. But I think it would be cool if there was an anime adaption of the game, but we all know how that story goes.

i agree an anime of ai buster would be awesome especially watching the one sin to be beat

I wish they'd show the xtra SIGN episodes on the TV, but thats never gonna happen, so I'll save up and buy the DVD.

i wnat it now to add to my collection of stuff like OST series and games

EvilBlackRose · Post by **EvilBlackRose** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 9:54 pm

heh i have eps 1-28 of dot hack//sign among other Anime series on my comp

awsome

Dragoon2044 · Post by **Dragoon2044** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 4:34 am

i've got a compact 3 dvd collection. Eps 1-28 on 3 dvds. It comes with some nice looking box art, a plastic sleeve for protection and can fit just about anywhere and only cost me 15 dollars. I was so happy to get mine.

Plus I got all 6 OSTs for 30.00 which isn't bad at all considering each OST is 15.00 by itself.

I think it may be possible that the anime is a collection of animated scenes from the .hack universe showcasing the events of AI Buster(2), .hack zero(2), any bits and pieces involving Aura, Helba, etc. It would be done in a fashion similar to how the AI Buster vol. 2 is played out.

It is unlikely, but not at all impossible. The anime could be something completely new for all we know...

I wonder, if its bootleged, does that mean it won't work?

Maromi · Post by **Maromi** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 8:44 pm

Actually, the video quality in most bootlegs, including .hack//SIGN, is actually quite good. It's the Engrish subtitles that are unbelivably shitty. To avoid bootlegs, stay away from anything thats region is listed as "NTSC" or "None;" Region 1 is legit. Also, when you see a "3 disk box set" selling for $10 when the anime is still unlicensed in America, that should give you a hint that it's a bootleg fresh from Hong Kong.

Dragoon2044 · Post by **Dragoon2044** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 10:01 pm

The dvd set I have looks really nice even if it may be bootlegged. I got mine back in january of this year and i've watched it 3-4 times up til now. The video, audio, and display work perfectly. There is no skipping, no jumping, no subliminal messages or anything like that.

It is actually just like a real genuine setup for a dvd anime. The set also has the three extra episodes and is region 0 meaning it can be played in all regions.

The set is a bit smaller than a slim ps2 and opens up like a broshure(sp?) with the 3 dvd's side by side full of artwork on the cds and the rest of the cd artwork in the box itself.

On the backside near the bottom there is red print that is boxed. This red print says "Japanese / English Dual-Language * English Subtitles 3 All-Coded DVD Discs Version * Episode 1-28

Then below that is has in smaller white print, "Warning: The copyright proprietor has liscensed the film (including its soundtrack) comprised in DVD video disc for home use only." Etc, etc, etc...

Looking at the back of each dvd myself from what I can tell the discs do not appear to be copied. What should I look for in order to spot copied discs? There is also in the upper right hand corner on the back side of the set a bar code. The box art details Tsukasa and Subaru, the inside box art details Mimiru, Sora, Bt, Bear, Krim, Subaru, Tsukasa, and on the backside there are the familiar hexagonal polygons and a synopsis of .hack//SIGN. "Welcome to "The World."

I hope the people doing these bootlegs are caught, however because of them I was able to get my hands on something that would normally cost be over 100 dollars and like many people that is simply money that I do not have. Besides I also own a Love Hina 3 dvd set, a Trigun 3 dvd set, and an Arc The Lad 3 dvd set which I bought at my local "Record Exchange" now I think they changed thier name to "The Exchange" though. I never actually thought they could all be bootlegs being that I've never once had any problems with the sets I own.

About the 6 OST's I bought for 30.00. They are infact the real soundtracks. I've seen all of them in Sam Goody and Media Play so I know they are legitimate.

The .hack//Ueden boxset announced for September. Anyone know how much that will cost?

EDIT: Just in case some people might think i'm heading in the wrong direction concerining the bootlegs. I had no knowledge at the time of purchase nor do I support bootlegs because they ultimately hurt the creators.
