Whats with .Hack//Sign

The reason why NOIR seems similar to .hack//SIGN is because they were created by the same company. (Bee Train) And their music was composed by the same composer. (Yuki Kajiura)

This is old news, but .hack//SIGN will premeire on Cartoon Network in the United States on Feb. 1st, 3:00 PM.

I know what it's like living inside a video game. Back when I was on my hardcore Alice binge there was a 8-foot famore inhabiting the neighboring apartment.

Hmm, I've seen the liminity OAV episode, which was kinda like what happened before Hack/sign and why the guy is stuck in the game.

I don't know if it's just the first episode, but it isn't on any episode guide I've seen.

I've seen it, loved it, made an AMV of the music and video of it.

My second AMV was the second .hack//SIGN AMV entered on AnimeMusicVideos.org, it got a few very positive comments on it. But it's not up at the moment due to bandwidth reasons. :/

I like .hack//sign. As for the timeline I think it goes like this:

.hack//sign
.hack//liminality (ova 1)
.hack//infection (ps2 game)
.hack//liminality (ova 2)
.hack//mutaion (2nd ps2 game)
.hack//liminality (ova 3)
.hack// (3rd ps2 game, forgot name)

anybody correct me if I'm wrong here.

In order:

.hack AI Buster
.hack//SIGN
.hack//GAME//LIMINALITY
.hack//DUSK (aka .hack//LEGEND)

AI Buster is a short novel.
SIGN is the first TV series
The GAMES and LIMINALITY (the OVA) are released together. The games I believe take place where the previous volume left off without a time gap. LIMINALITY runs concurrently to the game (although I don't think the events line up perfectly as the OVA is charecter based so vol 1 of LIMINALITY might cover more or less time than vol 1 of the game). LIMINALITY covers the events of .hack in the real world.
DUSK (some call it LEGEND) takes place a few years after the games and is the latest TV series.

Forgot to include that DUSK was originally a manga (which is now being made into the second TV series).
