From what I've heard.
There's no killer, or mystery, or trying to save someone. It's literally just people playing the fucking game. What a concept!
SAO would be a million times better if it was just that from the beginning.
.hack//ROOTS is like that for 3/4 of the series. It's very boring.
.hack I felt was always kind of boring.

That's pretty much what Log Horizon is (the actual real world consequences have only been slightly touched on so far) and it's by far the best MMO anime. Proper world building goes a long way.

SAO better not ruin King Arthur for me, I will be so pissed if it does.
Fate/Stay Night already exists breh

The games are better.
I really wish Bamco and CC2 would make HD remasters of them.

The original series is captivatingly boring. There's a real ass mystery going on, people have real ass real world problems, the in game stuff is interesting for the most part. It's just slow to unroll.
Meanwhile Roots isn't captivating at all, outside of the music. Even then OG .hack beats it.

I don't know shit about .Hack but I own the first 4 games on PS2 (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine) and they are supposed to be worth a lot of cash or something?

The new Yu-Gi-Oh move looks pretty hype.

But it's balanced out by Fate/Zero.

Too bad Arthur is lame in both. Rider 4 lyfe.

Devil is a Part Timer should be on TOONAMI. Despite having next to no action. It's all front loaded anyways so by the time they realize its a comedy it'll be too late!
That's probably the best "Demon King does something the Demon King probably shouldn't be doing" series there is.
There are a lot of them. A LOT.

There are, in fact, a lot of them. Devil is a Part Timer, is, in fact, the best.

Yep for sure

The other problem is that .hack was designed around the player experiencing all facets of it's world at the same time, games, ovas, anime, and manga. It's a lot to ask someone to invest it to get all the pay off they each set up. I really enjoyed the original .hack multiverse even if each part has issues (games get a bit repetitive and are 1 game too long, anime is slow to start, ovas are hard to follow on their own, manga feels too disconnected from the other series) and would recommend it if someone has the money/patience to go all in.
The way I describe it is thus:
Original dot hack: Great anime, great story in the game, fantastic OVAs, mediocre at best gameplay, awful graphics.
GU: Boring as hell anime, OVAs are not much better, okay story in game, good graphics, great gameplay. Still the best faux MMO to play and that's including the SAO games that people
enjoy.
Both main .hack series are prequels though. Well, roots is MOSTLY a prequel. The original OVA series which came with the games are concurrent. .hack//GIFT is an epilogue for the original series. I'm pretty sure GU has one too.

I really enjoyed my playthrough of the first game years agoThe games are better.
I really wish Bamco and CC2 would make HD remasters of them.
Really cool world and I liked the fighting systems in that game.
Great games for sure.
One of my favorite parts was the delapidated part of the world where everything was kinda screwy.
I definitely would buy an HD remasters.
The original .hack series is among the ugliest PS2 games made by a major developer. Sub Dreamcast graphics most of the time. It would need quite the HD remake, a mere remaster would not satisfy most.
GU would be fine, and is honestly the more fun game to actually play, though the story isn't as good.

GU needs an HD remake before the original .hack series
They are not.
Fuck.
Shit my house power went out
H-how will I enjoy toonami ;_;
Sigh. Gotta catch up on a M&H and OP. I love our groupwatches so I'm not exactly happy here.
mobile hotspot + stream on laptop + eat up all your data allotment until your batteries die

It's more logical for a lot of reasons. It's one fewer game, it's got better gameplay, the entire series had the low print run, it's assets would actually look good uprezzed. It has real ass digital waifus.
Why are they skipping ep 25?
It was a special included with the last BD.
But it's the actual end of the series.
It's not part of the series.
It actually is.
My laptop has a dead battery. However, I do have 2 portable chargers and my screen can be split. THIS SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA THOUGH.mobile hotspot + stream on laptop + eat up all your data allotment until your batteries die
Edit: whys toonami skipping ep 25 of KLK?
Why are they skipping ep 25?
I gather it's basically an epilogue OVA and I suppose it's handled separately and either not available for broadcast or not worth acquiring for broadcast.

It's an OVA, not really part of the series.

Well, that's a shame. I wonder why not?
It's an OVA, not really part of the series.
But it does bring some closure to the series and fills in the gap before the epilogue.

The only real BR/DC special that's debatable is Gatchaman Crowds 12th episode DC, and TBH the series was fine without it and you could go into S2 without it.

No you can't.
You would have no idea what happened to Katze and why he's chilling out in Hajime's tits.
To tie this full circle .hack has TWO OVA epilogues! //GIFT is frankly a must see OVA special that ties the original game and anime (but not the OVA) together in a silly way. EPILOGUE is the serious finale to the original story. Kindy fillery, but it is in fact canon.
FUN FACT: The Japanese version of GIFT is on the actual Quarantine disc and not the OVA disc, and requires a completed game save to watch!

No you can't.
The DC cuts the OD Katze fight, and Hajime going on a "date" with Katze afterwards then showing up again with Katze inside her was fine. It didn't NEED to be explained/shown same way Rui becoming a Gatchaman in the end didn't need to be explained/shown and TBH the way their date was shown in the DC was a bit too goofy IMO.

FUN FACT: The Japanese version of GIFT was sent out as a bonus DVD to those in Japan with proof of purchase of all four games.

Almost everyone who started the second season without seeing the special wondered what the fuck was going on, and were told to watch it. It did need to be explained, because that just happening for literally no reason in the regular version of episode 12 made no sense at all.

You do miss out on some really important shit though.

The only one I saw people confused about was
when did Rui become a Gatchaman
Katze being inside Hajime
According to MAL it's a Special.
It's not, it's just episode 25 (it's even titled as such in-episode). MAL tends to categorize things pretty stupidly a lot of the time. It's just that it happened to not air on television and only appeared on the Blu-ray, but it's still episode 25 of the series.
The only reason that Toonami isn't airing it is because its broadcast rights weren't available when they acquired it (presumably Aniplex wanted it to be an incentive to buy the BD just like in Japan).

I think I pretty much only care about Michiko and Hatchin on the block now, lol.
