.hack//SIGN - Uncovered (Vol. 5) with Soundtrack Series Box

Okay, so I'm a huge fan of both the anime series and the game, so I may be a bit biased... I started with the game, and was worried that I wouldn't like the series, or that it wouldn't compare to or measure up to the game. However, the series parallels the game, and there are some nice tie-ins between the series and game now. The characters in the series are nicely developed, and the storyline is very involved without being over-developed or entangled. The story has taken some good twists, and I love it! I'm also a fan of the music that's in the series. It nicely accompanies the story, and is something that I can listen to anytime. I highly recommend this series for anyone who's ever played the game, or for someone who happens to love anime. Thumbs-up from me!!!

I bought this series to add to 1-4 that I already own. I love .hack//sign but when I got this the cd's were not in the package. Why would someone send me the empty outer casing for the cd's but not the cd's themselves? I'm puzzled!

The dvd is great. I know that one person reported being mad because she didn't recieve 4 cds with the box, as she thought she was supposed to get with the box. Well actually I thought it was supposed to come with 4 cds too, but it isn't. The collector's box is just that. A box. It even says on the side of the collectors box that it is designed to hold all 4 cds. It doesn't say it is supposed to come with 4 cds included. I know that is aggrivating, but there it is. Don't order this thinking that you will get a dvd and music too, because you will only get a dvd and a collector's box with no cds inside.

I ordered the special dot Hack//Sign DVD with the CD box, since it was the only thing I didn't have. The outside box that protected the DVD and the CD box was crinkled on one corner, probably occurring during transport, but otherwise both the CD box [which I had wanted) and the DVD that finished up my collection were unharmed.Of course, the series is great, a 7/10! I think its DEFINITELY worth watching! Play the video games too, they help explain things even more!Ryuichi

great service and product

Tsukasa takes Subaru to see the sleeping girl and not only is she not there but the entity gets real mad at Tsukasa and punishes him in the way you would expect from a ticked off omnipotent entity. And that's it for him or a while. The Cat, however, shows some concern for him making you wonder at the cats relationship to the entity.The team of Bear, Mimiru, and Subaru with the help of Helba find another way to the broken man and learn a few more hints to the truth - that is, before the entity finds out what they are up to.Un-killable monsters are roaming the land, mysterious players who we have yet to be introduced to are shadowing the team, and more plots are being made aginst the group as BT, Sora, and the Silver Knight team up. But is the Silver Knight a player or a pawn? For that matter, is BT even in control of her own plots and with the chaotic nature of his character will Sora forsake all alliances for a chance to serve the "Power"?And what about Subarus' feelings toward Tsukasa?And what happened to the sleeping girl?And what's going to happen if she is awakened?As I've said before, this series has been more about human interaction and intrigue than action. Even though there is action, I feel that it is used to enforce or to re-enforce the by-play between characters. Which is one thing I love about the series.A good example is the fights with the un-killable monsters and how the Silver Knight is abandoned by Sora, where as Subaru falls to one of the beasts and another is willing to jump in-between them simply to be there for her. As they've said, even if it is a game no one likes to die.It comes down to who will be there for who, who can swallow their pride to work with others, and who is willing to abandon everyone to follow their own path. Alliances are formed here that should endure through the final confrontation.

yes ive seen all the episodes and played through two of the games, infection and mutation, and i found this anime series obnoxiously flat with a very slow moving plot. the soundtrack to the series is wonderful along with the artwork but i found the story to be non-gratifying in any way shape or form for me. granted i watched the horribly translated sub version from japan it probably wouldnt be fair for me to really recommend .hack// or not, but to take caution and rent a few of the volumes before investing money on purchasing them, unless of course your a die hard .hack// fan :P

Bought the whole set and #5 disk broke when I took it out of the box. But that's the important disk. So I just bought a replacement for that one. The whole series is bizarre and fascinating. But the quality of the replacement was excellent.
