.hack//SIGN is the first and best, as it actually has a story. .hack//legend of the twilight is second, but isnt considered part of the .hack world, because it created its own storyline. The manga for it however is considered part of the storyline. .hack//roots while good, its just good for about 13 eps then its just repetitive and extends out till the end. Most ppl watch .hack//roots to see the tri-edge and haseo fight from the .hack//g.u. game.

In terms of chronology, Legend took place after Sign. However, in between the two are the events chronicled in the original .hack games, summarised by Liminality.
GU happens after Liminality, but I don't know if it's before or after Legend.
I didn't like Sign in terms of characters, plot, and story-telling, but the OST is first-class. Yuki Kajiura at her best. Worth acquiring if only for this reason.

g.u. is way after legend. The original game, came to an end right after legend of the twilight, as a sudden fire happened in CC corp building and they lost almost all their servers. Thus 6 years (i think) later they came up with The Word R2 which is where .hack//roots & .hack//g.u. take place.

According to the dbase description, Legend takes place after restoration of the game.

From all of the .hack series, indeed .hack sign is the best out of them. It got a good story and truly sucked me in the story. Second to that would be .Hack Roots, seeing the new characters and also because of the whole mystery behind Haseo. Then .Hack legend of twilight bracelet, mostly because it didn't have much of a story, although it was fun to watch..
.Hack liminality was fun to, though it didn't really play in the .hack world, but more of a side story.

I enjoyed //sign and //Liminality, and the music played for both was awsome too x3.

Hmm ive just watched .hacksign and im really confused now... the ending.. was not really a proper ending at all as the 26th episode talks about a new experience aka mimiru and bear with that multiplayed character.. and when the spellweaver meets suberu.. makes no sense.. ugh ! if thats it then its worst ending ever... ;/

What I don't realize is, why don't people acknowledge .Hack//Mutation?

Oh. Then I would have to say Sign. I've seen part of it. Only 1 episode actually. Episode 12 I think. Black Rose is my favorite.

black rose is only from the game. And an extra ep to sign that you could only get if you bought the S.E. of the last volume of //sign.

I guess you could have done better than just post a one-sentence post. If you want to revive a dead thread, that is.
How was the music cooler? How were the characters better? Any standouts? You know, at least make it worth my time to read this.

I said like Sign because Tsukasa was hot...later when I found out Quote: he was she...it was soo sad ...and I was totall in love him ...when I thought she was a boy.
I was tramatized a little...but oh well this happens too often to me

Spoilers.
Quote: I thought the same, but when the truth came it seemed so obvious that he could've been he or she. It's the internet, gender dosen't matter as much as in the real world. Men pretending to be women and vice versa isn't uncommon.
