Mini Anime Review - .Hack//Sign

The Classic trapped in an MMO anime; watching it after seeing such series as Log Horizon or SAO tackle the subject creates an appreciation for the quality of this story type.



It has strong animation, while not being as breathtaking as some moments from newer anime it is consistently good through out. It's story is fairly focused, maintaining viewer interest; however there are some cases of bad filler in the center of this 28 episode series, for example the protagonist attempting to take care of a pig for 3 days and failing miserably. 

The Music is very pleasing, if not a bit repetitive at times, the voices are also well performed with no real annoyances springing to mind after having finished the series.

The characters, while not the most interesting ever, are very well used to support the plot and the protagonist in their issues. It was also pleasing to see a disabled character being a strong major character through out, as well as a love interest ( later to be revealed as a homosexual love interest, +10 points for diversity).

Overall a very fun anime, of all the MMO anime I have seen it has presented the least offensive flaws; while it may not have the amazing highs that moments of Sword Art has, it's lowest points are miles above it.
