Confused please help?

[ratboy]

hello please help.

i'm a little confused about .hack

i live in england so i still waiting for the first game to come out (infection)

am i right in thinking the .hach//sign series comes before the video game.

and then come the video game infection along with ova liminality
then whats next
i see on Ebay u can buy the hack//sign series, also u can buy the ova liminality but it has in Integration on the dvd case aswell, whats this?

and ive also heard unison mentioned whats this?

does the game and liminality run together and whats next after the games?

please help

it goes like this

SIGN eps 1-27
Games + Liminality (Parallel)
SIGN episode 28 (aka Unison) + ep "GIFT"
Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu (manga, theres an anime adaption of the manga as well spawning 12 episodes)

Integration is just a special bundle with all 4 liminality episodes that was released in Japan, because in Japan only the Limited Edition of the game volumes came with the liminality ova. The standard edition didnt contain the ova.
But this doesn't matter for the PAL and US release since each volume of the game comes with a volume of the liminality ova.

there are also some novels which I didn't mention because it would be too confusing

i've hack//sign on order off ebay and all the auctions say 1-26 not 1-27 for this series, how do i get 27 and 28

thanks

You bought either Hongkong bootleg anime dvds or Fansubs on dvd. Buy legit releases and you will get episodes 27-28 :P

[ratboy]

yeah i probably ordering hong kong set then, oh well the episodes will still be ok wont they?

it only costing me £15 so not too bad, and maybe i could buy the last dvd in the set (legit version) to get the bonus episodes because i think they come with that.

[rax]

ep 27 and 28 will be on the last legit dvd (at least in the US version), GIFT will probably be on the last liminality dvd.

I dunno about HK sets' quality, i rather buy legit dvds..

Not really...

US DVD 6 Terminus normal version contains EP 27 and teh Special EP 28

GIFT is on the 4th .hack//Liminality..

I prefer the US DVD´s because they have nice extra stuff ^^

[The-One]

errrr don't we already have a topic where the order of those things are mentioned?^^

and Sora what happened to your cel? it got a crack^^ maybe a kick from Crim?^^

and ratboy I bought all mine animes from the right place even though I got the episode on HD (ofcourse I'm deleting it know that I got all episodes, except for liminality and gift^^waiting till those get out here). It is more appreciate to buy the real stuff than to buy fansubs but thats my opinion on the matter.^^

Well apparently, (according to one of my friends) he's seen .hack//sign in HMV for all you other people in the UK, I've yet to get chance to confirm this but he thinks he's seen it there.
Watch this space...
