well the main character will sulk a lot. they'll explain more of the world later. dont rmemeber enough to remember what happens in each episode
Just watched the most recent SAO episode.... DAMN I LOVE THIS SHIT, it probably takes the spot of my favorite anime of all time now. I know there are others that are "better", but srsly. Being an online gamer and shit, I've been playing online mmorpgs since my nuts dropped and this anime strikes a very special chord with me.

MOTHER FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIT!
I can no longer read "SAO" without "two years..." popping up in my head.
It's pretty cool I guess but don't think it's THAT great personally.

I recently finished hack//sign. It doesn't get better. + Show Spoiler +
MC will sulk and everyone introduced will try to help him in his/her own way while dealing with their own problems. If you're expecting action or engaging storyline, look somewhere else. The anime is trying to teach you a life lesson with shit execution.

Ive been playing MMOs for 8 years. And I always get a weird/generic feeling every time they do a reference to raiding etc.

I get the same feeling, while there are clear flaws with the anime the whole show just gives me a great feeling. Dunno why, I havent even played many mmorpgs. Part of it is problaby the awesome OP and nice background art.
Hmmm samurai champloo jap dub or english dub? Original japanese voice acting or steve blum ;; which one ?
kurapika is inaban? AND beelze?? my mind has been blown -.- he even looks girly, i thought when i first watched the old series that we would one day discover that he actually is a female.
edit: english dub for samurai champloo is fine imo ^^

You idiots... How can you be so narrow-minded? Stop being so focused on characterization. Human emotions aren't logical and interpretable. Not to say .hack SIGN was amazing in any way, but just because the narration isn't normative, the pace is slow and the characters aren't likable doesn't make the anime itself any worse. Why can't 'anime fans' distinguish between objective character presentation and their subjective liking of various traits? It's because of shit like this that we have retarded otakus masturbating to their precious and pure Azu-nyan~, and Rie making the exact same VA role in every new anime, and that recycled concepts with 5 minute efforts sell so they can make even more sequels.

Best start on short completed anime first just so you have a better idea if ur intrested in anime. I would recommend Baccano or Black lagoon based on your likes
thought it went pretty fucking good, lived up to my expectations of that scene from the LN and next episode you get the duel with Heathcliff which is going to leave everyone clueless,

I agree some of the stuff has flaws and some of the mmorpg stuff makes you question it a bit but they get the job done and it's just presented in and done with a really nice way that it's enjoyable
