    Dot hack sign may not be that entertaining, but for me there is something special to it. I felt like it perfectly expressed how it feels to be lost in a state of depression and trying to find something meaningful, probably without even meaning to.

      It’s somber and introspective with solid music throughout. I enjoyed .hack//sign more than anything else in the series.

    Not just the OP, the soundtrack as a whole is an absolute banger. Emily Bindiger did a really great job singing all of the songs in the show.

    Absolute duo. The anime is just your standard harem bullshit with a story that makes no sense, but the opening is so good. I watched that anime exactly because I got intrigued by the opening, and got disappointed

      Absolute Duo is also my definition of average, but Absolute Soul is such an amazing opening song. Hyped you up even if the show was non-memorable.

    I don’t remember anything about dot hack except it sad so damn boring. I think it had a good premise and decent art but all the Mc did was nothing.

      Sign was super hyped during release, boasting a tie in with a game series iirc.

      I was really expecting something special but holy shit did it it go absolutely no where.

      As a result I never watched (or played) anything else in the hack series.

        It barely pays off in IMOQ(The first 4 .hack games), G.U did better to tie the game and anime together, though the G.U anime is also pretty optional.

        There’s some really solid bits of .hack media, but it’s kinda lost in the less than great stuff, and the Key of Twilight manga has an uncomfortable amount of “My sister’s hot”.

    Shit. Maybe it’s just because .Hack//Sign was some of the first anime I ever watched (aside from Digimon and YuGiOh), but that shit blew my mind. I’ve rewatched it at least a couple of times.

      Its a solid 7/10 by today’s standards but in 2002 there wasn’t a lot of competition in the isekai space so it really stood out. The entire soundtrack is amazing too, not just the op/ed

        Agreed, it’s one of my top favorite anime soundtracks to listen to. the world and key of the twilight still give me chills when I hear them after having not listened to them in a while. b.t. was also really pretty to listen to.

        That entire soundtrack went way hard, it was fantastic.

      Man, I used to listen to Gunslinger Girl II’s opening on repeat for hours. But yeah, the second season was a little bit of a letdown

        Gunslinger Girl (2) OST slaps, I still listen to them occasionally. Season two was alright, S1 hit harder tho

      A-ho girl was great. Knights of Sidonia even more. Also, Bakarina!

    Divine Gate was exceedingly mid (not surprising, it’s based off a mobile game), but its OP One Me, Two Hearts is a banger
