Come for the music, stay for the story. That is all that I really have to say for this beautifully done production. .hack//SIGN set in a beautiful virtual world with engaging characters. As you delve into this MMORPG anime, you become lost in the mystery surrounding the main character of Tsukasa, the games trapped Wavemaster that seems to break "The World" that everyone is set in. The story becomes more and more intriguing as all of the characters begin to focus more on Tsukasa and the "Key of the Twilight". Honestly, anyone can relate to this anime. Online gamers understand the world and relationships that are built during the game and anime fans can relate to the mystery of the main character and why he can't seem to log out of the game (Really, to me those are the only people that matter, Online Gamers and Anime Fans :P - Well...No, nevermind, just those people). I personally love all the music that seems to follow the characters and the plot line. The soundtrack has a Celtic feel to it that is fitting for the type of world that you find the characters  in. Yuki Kaijura did an excellent job of providing a soundtrack that plays with one's emotions as the plot continues. Pick up the anime and experience it for yourself. There are numerous sequels and continuations of the series, here is a listing:

•     .hack//GIFT (OAV)
•     .hack//Intermezzo (OAV)
•     .hack//Unison (OAV)
•     .hack//Legend Of The Twilight (TV)
•     .hack//Roots (TV)
•     .hack//G.U. Trilogy (movie)
•     .hack//XXXX (manga)

If you love fantasy anime where cute girls kill epic monster, high school geniuses wielding excorsisim swords, and you can die gruesome deaths repeatedly and come back to life, you will like A Dark Rabbit has Seven Lives. No, I wasn't talking in spy speak. That is really the title. Follow Kurogane Taito as he regains his memories and his promise to a beautiful Vampire named Saitohimea. Taito and Saitohimea later join forces with Kurenai Gekkou and his familiar Andou Mirai to fight  Gekkou's evil twin brother from resurrecting the powerful Vampire Bahlskra. Watch these the first three episodes here and enjoy the freaky paranormal show!

This is one of those shows that threw me for a loop when I first watched it.  Actually I was part of the Fansubbing group that originally released it until it went Domestic...This one has a litle bit of everything, the silent and unassuming badass, the unknown to the world ultimately powered savior, the ridiculously epic plot twist.  Without spilling the beans, and potentially hinting at this (at least to gamers), I sometimes wonder if Infinity Blade (on the iOS platform) has a loose basing on one of it's scenarios from this series.
