.Hack//Sign Opening

[veertjepinguin]

does anyone know who sings this?



[xchibikattx]

Oh.. I am so funny. I pulled up this video, and waited after the song ended, expecting an episode.

[thunderboom572]

annnnd its still just as epic as when I was a kid.

[AnimeChris2006]

awesome Hyacinthesis

[AnimeChris2006]

awesome

[junfaa]

.hack is one of those few animes that gives me goosebumps

[TomGezen]

The videogame of my childhood on ps2 :D

[Aarondamanharrison]

Are they making a game for the ps3 of this anytime soon this would be awsome for the network

[WiiShoot]

I remember watching parts of this anime when they showed it on YTV.

[blitzkrik255]

as a kid i didnt under stand shit in this show...as a teen i still dont get shit..D:

[MegaLiam14]

I love this song don't know why.

[SilentSoulwolf]

@NLaos ;) ill think about it

[Morzall0055]

That chick must be having a seizure

[SilentSoulwolf]

I want to learn how to dance like that =3

[NLaos]

@SilentSoulwolf BE MY QUEST LOLOL. being all flippy and stuff (;

[MrGeassR2]

THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS AN ACTUAL MMORPG!!!

[TekkamanChronos]

@MrGeassR2 They did, but people kept dying during the beta

[MrGeassR2]

@TekkamanChronos LMAOO!

[MrVilleforte]

As seen on:

/m/ - Mecha

[Almroymarth]

;_;

[Woox4578933]

i wanna play this mmo

[laughingwarlock]

This is the anime that got me into anime. To this day I don't know if it was a good choice, but I still know it was MY choice. And that's good enough for me.

[RavenBlood1011]

I remember this anime! THIS USE TO SCARE THE POOPS OUT OF ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE!! Anyway, good opening and great anime! *sign* I miss the good cartoon network when they had only anime and toonami's stuff :(

[LadyRuelleyn]

i love the dancing in the beginning :3 fav part

[Hyacinthesis]

I remember staying up late as a little kid to watch this! I didn't know what the hell it was about back then but it was so cool and different that I couldn't help but get drawn into the atmosphere.

[xelanesqueHQ]

@Hyacinthesis I would sneak out of bed just to watch this. My parents would get so mad XD

[SasukeXKaedeUzumaki]

Is this related to .hack//legend of the twilight?

[DarthSears]

@SasukeXKaedeUzumaki Erm... From what little I can grasp about the story of .Hack//Sign (as well as the Wikipedia pages...) ..

Hell, I still don't know...

[Snormax]

@sasukexkaedeuzumaki

Let's see.. Legend of the twilight involves Shugo and Rina, correct? If so, then no. If you were referring to the ones with Kite (ie:) .hack infection, mutation, quarantine, etc. then yes.

[SasukeXKaedeUzumaki]

@Snormax

Shugo and Rina are suppose to be the incarnation of Kita and Black Rose.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@SasukeXKaedeUzumaki All I know is that in Legend of the Twilight, Shugo and Rina were given character skins based on Kita and Black Rose...and that's all I got from the series as it confused me to wits-end.

[Aarri2129]

@SasukeXKaedeUzumaki

Basically, .hack//SIGN takes place before everything else in the .hack franchise. Later on in the same year (in the .hack timeline), the .hack games take place, and then, four years later, Shugo and Rena log into the world in .hack//Legend of the Twilight. Hope that clears things up!

[SasukeXKaedeUzumaki]

@Aarri2129

Thank you!! Merry Cristmas!

[reinholder777]

i hear this song in a WC3 map - hack // sign rpg created by eternity_sheild did anyone else did the same?

[dustintheslayer]

This makes me want to buy all the .hack// games.

Seriously,the epic theme songs in the shows kept me 100% interested.I got Infection,but GU is what im looking forward to.

[13wolfsbane]

This series is one of my most favorite animes of all time. My mom and older sisters didn't like me watching it as a kid, so they banned me from watching it. Ha! Well, thanks to them I love the (DOT) Hack series even more than I did as a kid. I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS ANIME!!!

[dustintheslayer]

@13wolfsbane The heck?Why did they not like it?

[13wolfsbane]

@dustintheslayer

I think it was because my eldest sister saw me watching the part where it looked like Tsukasa was getting tortured or when Aura supposedly stabbed him. I guess after that happened, I got banned... until years later my dad bought me the dvd and infection. XD

[HitomiSusuki1]

I friggin LOVE this opening! <3

[X1Serizawa1X]

the good old days coming from school and watching toonami

[Meteos09]

you know all the technology in this show is probably starting to be developed or at least thought about present day. COME ON COMPUTER OVERLORDS SHOW US TO OUR NEW HOME.

[nejixdragon]

@Meteos09 < needs virtual game (the .hack kind)

[zecrombetterthanregi]

wow this anime s real classic imebr it sowell l right after i left NY to live in californifornia,DAmn those weregoood times shit miss those days

[OniExell]

Whenever I hear the guitar screech at the beginning I get a shiver down my spine

[FrosTekk]

Toonami? lol all I had was late night Bionix from YTV ._.

[MrTokedo]

@FrosTekk i miss those days.

[Alucard582]

@FrosTekk

Those were good times, weren't they?

[jmk2222]

Omg.... I haven't seen this since i was in like the 5th grade.... my whole week is made

[zackXvincent]

toonami.............*crys*

[chaosxmoon]

YOu wil lnot fully understand .hack unless you play ALL 7 games and watch ALL 4 series and the movie.

[patotaku007]

@chaosxmoon o.o what? more series than Legend of Twilight and Sign?? A movie!?? o___o what else I lost!!

[KiroToru]

i loved this song and the ending... however, the show..... .........no comment..

[LoveOmeral]

Ah, I thought I'd try watching this anime since I saw it once or twice and thought it looked interesting, but after looking at this it just looks like too much XD.

[Dudinator123]

I remember one of the last episodes, where that kid got totally beat up on a bed. Seriously, that scene was so messed up I nearly gave up on .hack. Than I read Legend of the Twilight and was like "THIS IS THE SAME FRANCHISE?! How do you go from bed-pummeling to taking care of a pig?"

[deathmaster168]

@Dudinator123 Different writers that's how!!

[AsterBarnivere]

Ah toonami.. the best thing to happen to America until society became xenophobic fucks...

[PSNSMANIACALMIND1st]

@AsterBarnivere

Actually, i think anime just went bad. look at bobobobo.

[sega31098]

@PSNSMANIACALMIND1st

No, anime NEVER goes bad.

It's that America stopped importing too much it.

[TheFearlessZenaku]

@sega31098

anime never goes bad? hahaha yeah right. the shit they put on tv anymore is riduculous and is annoying.

[sega31098]

@TheFearlessZenaku

I'm not saying there's no such thing as bad anime.

There is still good anime. Check out Fairy Tail and High School of the Dead.

[TheFearlessZenaku]

@sega31098

im an old skool anime lover. (im 21 lol)

so like many other this is nostalgia to me.

[wafflesan1]

@sega31098 bull FUCKING shit, be quiet before I pound your face in

[sega31098]

@wafflesan1

You can't pound my face, because if you try, you'll end up with a broken monitor and lacerations on your hand.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@sega31098 Or that people like 4Kids took over.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@PSNSMANIACALMIND1st Bobobobo was done that way intentionally, it was a comedy that had shonen elements (but much more comedy), and some of the jokes were lost in translation though.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@AsterBarnivere Agreed.

[romans1001]

I never saw this as a kid. I played some of games but the story made no sense whats so ever. I think some times shows try to be too deep for there own good.

[TheLilIdiot]

@romans1001 its one of those shows you definitely cannot start in the middle or even miss 1 episode or nothing makes damn sense :/ lol

[003Godsend]

@romans1001 That's why it's so awesome. All the story is connected through different mediums, and is all connected together. Got me into anime more than anything else.

Re-playing the games on pcsx2 right now. Looking forward to playing G.U. for the first time.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@romans1001 It made no sense because every part of the franchise was interconnected (so basically you miss one bit of another part of the franchise, it sets everything up to be confusing).

[Gatzlocke]

I think this show was for an older audience, cause I never really understood it as a kid.

[shadowhexogram]

This show. was actually sort of hard to get into. I don't say this very often but you could really say this show had slow pacing. I got into the video that followed this paticular story arc and I was blown away by all the little connections that were very much intentional.

Everything after those four games though...... Well, at least this show and that game was really good.

[the4thqueen]

I still cant figure out what the fuck that woman is doing at the start...WHAT MOVES LIKE THAT?

[darkonk]

@the4thqueen the woman was to get your attention to you would actually sit there and be like wtf is she doing what is this

[blade9871]

I remember this song along time ago. It was once on Adult Swim, right?

[Renkel76]

@blade9871 Oh yeah. I remember it being on adult swim allright. This show scared the crud out of me when I was a kid...Still kinda does.

[sega31098]

I can't believe this show is almost 10 years old!

[TdotClappa]

I use to be so high when this show would come on...high nostalgia I miss that high lol

[fakeobsession]

the opening grew on me while watching the series. I really like it now.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

Nostalgia from Toonami's glory days...

Anyone else agrees?

[SexyVixen1011]

@ShadowPhoenixKC Yes <3

[karakun1]

@ShadowPhoenixKC it was the golden age of cartoon network.

[DariuSlambert7]

what are the order of all the hack seasons????

[dechudesir2]

@DariuSlambert7 sign, dusk (twilight bracelet) roots, quantum, movie

[crimsonshadow42]

@DariuSlambert7 Theres no real order since all of the seasons are stand alone and don't really connect in any real way aside from the world they inhabit, but even that differs a little every time

[doom6928]

I LOVE THE 90S

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@doom6928 90s - mid 2000s.

[sega31098]

@doom6928

This is 2002.

[Lilc433]

 Okay so... I see these words every where, never knew it was an anime until know. What the heck is it about?

[ember1k]

@Lilc433 It's about people going into a vitual reality called the "world" I would say more, but i would have to spoil it for you...It's a really great anime, give it a try.

[95Blackwings]

I loved this show XD! My sis and I would watch it whenever it came on cartoonnetwork :) It would be nice if they brought this and Legend of the Twilight back.

[moonabys]

could anyone tell me in what order the seasons come? like hack/sign hack//legend etc?

[IjjiKillrain]

So many people are "buttfrustrated" in these comments.

[seraph186]

WHY HAVEN'T WE GOT A GAME LIKE THIS YET?! And I don't mean that crap that's out on the freaking PS2

[pivetom]

@seraph186 you mean a MMORPG ? o_O

[moonabys]

@seraph186 its called world of warcraft?

[mmromance]

this show depressed me for some reason :s

[Plantix4thWatcher]

How come I must know

where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

the direction of relieving?

[MakaveliMarsMusic]

Fuck growing up. Toonami forever will be in my heart.

[haseosango]

@MakaveliMarsMusic me to !!! toonami will live forever

[DarkFearno]

@MakaveliMarsMusic Well, don't get into .hack//G.U. anytime soon cause Growing Up is what it stands for XD

[MakaveliMarsMusic]

@DarkFearno NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >: O

[halosnesfan64]

LOVE THIS ANIME!!!

AND HALOSNESFAN64

[0Fate8Bound0]

i got into this series but i dont see how they expected kids to grasp it. it was really disjointed at times and that was from a pov where i watched every ep

[jerkinmajer]

whats the name of the song?

[Diablokiller3]

@jerkinmajer obession

[CaptianCrunchism]

WTF everybody gets stripped ass-naked at the end.

[96komodo]

@CaptianCrunchism naw thats how its supposed to be digital porn

[ngyafero]

@CaptianCrunchism because they are really gay i n reality...

[TPPhoenix93]

I stopped watching when I found out Tsukasa is a girl. I don't know why, but that just made me lose interest.

[violink4swords]

am i the only one who wishes .HACK//Fragment had a US release?

[xTheDynastQueenx]

Does anyone know what the fuck this show was about? I'd miss like 2 min of dialogue and would be lost for the next 4 episodes :/

[RRESARPADOLOKO]

as it is called the artist and song of this opening?

[do1bal]

Even to this day, as an adult, I still have NO idea what direction this show was going when I watched it. Then i realized...who cares? It has one of the best openings I've seen for an anime. Love the opening, don't understand the show lol.

[wdbisl]

@do1bal It's a prequel to the games is all I know and apparently if you play the four ps2 games it makes a lot more sense. I haven't done that so I'm in the same boat as you.

[DaKingOfAWESOME]

i have been searching for this since i was like 8 lol o.o im 16 now and I MUST WATCH IT!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!

[partisanofsword]

Shit - this takes me back. Am I really that old?

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

@partisanofsword I was like 15 when this was on

now I am 20, fucking A

[xINFINITELIGHTx]

You need to knwo when obsession needs to go so that you will not experience the pain that obsession brings.

[xINFINITELIGHTx]

@xINFINITELIGHTx and even further so that the obsession cacn be let go soon so that you are freed from it quite easier. The more ccancer that exist, the more effort is needed to cure it. The more areas that the obsession has ruined your life, the more areas that need to be fixed.

[ColorMeHoppy]

This show was a mindfuck when you're nine-years-old.

[ZombieChimps]

To this day i have yet to hear a more painful sounding scream than when Tsukasa was impaled by that tentacle thing from the dumbell-monster

[LARiots1992]

Mi casa es Tsukasa.

:Þ

[calebt1000]

i think this is a guitar @ 1:15 im not sure but it sounds awesome :D

[PrincessNaeNae]

I never understood what this show was about when I was younger.

[EpicBeard815]

I wanna learn how to dance like that :)

[jkillah999]

I never could get into this series, but i always loved the opening theme. This was back when Toonami was the shit!!

[kennedya]

@jkillah999 ik how u feel like the story was boring but the Op is sooo good

[DarkPhazonRidley]

@jkillah999 time fly's doesn't it and im 24 miss the good old times

[BlackLegion1262]

@jkillah999 Ahhhh....Those were the days. Now Toonami is gone and this anime has nearly sunken into the darkness of obsceruity. At least I think so......

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@BlackLegion1262 Agreed.

[tkdtj2]

@gungrave666999 ikr i use to stay up nd watch this show all the time along with gundam and dbz

[Resee999]

@tkdtj2 OMG so I wasn't the only one!! Where has the time gone..

[haseosango]

@Resee999 i to r ember this cn just took everything away but on day it will all come back i can sens it in cartoon net work eyes

[gungrave666999]

Wow I remember when this was on toonami before cartoon network whent gay

[Sauron4389]

i remember playing couple PS2 games with the name of this series, i don't remember whether it was related to the anime.

[shadowblade1296]

@Sauron4389 same universe and there were some references to the anime in the first ps2 game series of .hack

[Blacksun388]

At first I was straight and dissapointed.

Tsukasa was so cute he turned me gay.

Then it turns out he's really a chick.

And I was suddenly straight again.

Then it turns out that she's gay.

and I was suddenly straight and dissapointed again.

[LostAnkh]

@Blacksun388 But if shes gay, she likes guys! Thats what gays like! Its a win-win situation, even if she was lesbian.

[Blacksun388]

@LostAnkh Apparently there is a concept you don't grasp here. Gay is not gender specific. Gay is indirectly defined as "I am romantically and/or sexually attracted to members of my own gender."

Thanks for trying to help though.

[MrC0N]

@Blacksun388 Thank u! u just literaly made me lmao xD

[aoinokitsune]

@Blacksun388 well wouldn't that just make u bi?

you were after all attracted to her appearance as a boy, and personality would be constant either way :P

[MrRock1235]

@aoinokitsune

So wait...Tsukasa is a really a girl...? This whole time?

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@MrRock1235 Yep

[aoinokitsune]

@MrRock1235 yes

[HumbaoLove]

@aoinokitsune noo if ur attracted to her appearance as a boy

as i did ( i thought she was) it doesnt make u bi or les cuz ur attracted to her because u assumed she wass a male

[repperhunter]

@Blacksun388

ahahahahhahahahhahahahahaha

[LilKyoWarumono]

i like how bear looks like he's moonwalking 0:51-0:52

[youkolover69]

i love this old anime. and tsukasa is so adorable i love him

[manga12]

tsukas real person in the anime was a girl though but you know that dont you, I never did see the ending, this is one of those anime that they showed once or twice on cartoon network and they stopped not like dbz or big o, or cowboy bebop which has been showing on cartoon network for over ten years 01 to 11 man, though nothing against cowboy bebop its just that its such a staple of the network.

though the second . hack key of the twilight was neater though looked cuter with its animation.

[m00nlightshad0wx]

How come I must know

Where obsession needs to go?

How come i must know

The direction of relieving?

How come I must know

Where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

Where the passion hides it's feelings?

[Goddess0Skella]

I adore the .hack series.

[MrDgroff]

I remember getting into this for a short time when it was available on Comcast OnDemand, when OnDemand first appeared (2001/2002?). I really enjoyed it, and feel the need to watch it.

[MrDgroff]

[finalfantasy696969]

I played this song at my party, people danced, and they didn't know it came from something as nerdy as this!! :D

[Redjoker96]

[haseosango]

[haseosango]

[haseosango]

toonami wiil come back as neo toonami

[Jackalofdeath]

its a great anime , lots of you posting about not watching it all the way, its about reality and what we perceive reality to be, self identification and sexuality, and all that jazz, check it out, its deeper than it gives itself credit

[NATIVE231000]

To this day the whole .Hack// series still mindfucks me to this day, none the less an awesome series, makes me wanna start playing the game again lol

[DogDragonlover]

with that new headset that Sony is making we are one step closer to this becoming reality....

[keygari]

I super didn't understand this anime :x

[sillygrl23]

I remember this....one of the girls in my dorm introduced me to this anime and well.....anime in general :)

[pokeman158]

This show was pure mind screw made my head feel funny

[Gr8estLeacy]

I understood it

.... only cuz I was a big ass . Hack fan =P

[cali224]

I never understood it -_-

[Sasorislovery]

~how come i must know, where obsession needs to go~

that's my favorite part

[ImaCube]

i always thought this was better than the full version..

[Sasorislovery]

@ImaCube ikr? i feel like i got jipped if i don't have this version

[MrMarkit126]

i think i remember seeing this on toonami once when i was like 8 er 9
