.hack//Quantum - Complete OVA Series (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

After a long, Long, LONG time, the .hack series improves for non-game players. .hack//Sign: Complete Series was a good beginning, a good introduction to the concept, but .hack//Legend of the Twilight: Complete Series was a childish disaster, .hack//Roots: Complete Series wasn't complete, and .hack//G.U. Trilogy: Movie was downright confusing. However, .hack//Quantum finally showed what this concept could be.Basically, three high school girlfriends, Tobias, Mary, and Sakuya, are truly into the game, but a chance encounter with the mysterious Hermit character brings our friends into Yet Another encounter with this MMORPG's mysterious pattern of Lost Ones, players who fall into irreversible comas, and causes one of the three to do just that. While the other two are desperately trying to save their friend, they uncover the latest conspiracy involving hundreds of comatose players and find themselves working uneasily with the people tasked with sorting out this "bug". Everything comes to a head in a surprise filled climax.This series comes with a number of features that make it stand out above all the older versions I've seen: spectacular graphics, a good mix of online/offline events, and, to my surprise, the best explanation for all that has gone on before that I've seen yet. Perhaps the anime at least came out a decade or two too soon.Note: In all my experience with Funimation Blu-ray/DVD sets, I've never seen one with so little difference between the DVD and Blu-ray editions, identical color picture with just a slight background color variation and a difference in the tiny "DVD EDITION" or "BLU-RAY EDITION" labeling; perhaps this is why I had to return the first one I purchased for having two DVD editions in a plastic sealed package! Be ye warned.

It made a perfect gift for my brother! He loves this series and is now looking to complete his collection.

.hack//SIGN was one of the original anime series that really hooked me into anime for good way back when. I used to stay up super late and make sure I watched at least it, and then after it quit airing, all of the prequels as well. I played every game and loved them equally. That said, this DVD collection is amazing. Granted, I already had all of it before, but having it condensed to one case is great for fans and new comers alike. I always recommend this series to my friends and I hope and pray that we will continue to see more of it in the years to come!

This anime wastes no time in filler, so every scene has a purpose of demonstrating some point about the character or environment. This leads to a fast ride, but the story is complete and says all that it wanted to say. Although I know some people leave wanting a little at the end, I'm glad for the realism it presents.Quantum presents the characters quickly, but I ended up liking and respecting most of them fairly quickly, so it's not like this anime moves too quickly that you can't connect with the characters. It's been months since I have watched the anime for the second or third time, but some images remain stuck in my head, so it has some pretty memorable moments. It's not a 5 star because it didn't astound me, but I respect what it accomplished in such a short time.It's a clean cut anime that takes you exactly where you need to go, but it doesn't leave you in the dust. A worthwhile watch.

I wanna be honest here. when i first seen this set i was EXTEMELY hesitant on getting it because of the length of it even with all its little extas. however, i must say i couldnt be happier! this OVA set is actually quite entertaining and each of the episodes has a lot going on in it. the Animation is quite beautiful i think & i dont really have any complaints with the english cast & the musical score is also pretty good IMO. if i had to pick a favorite character in the seriesi would say it is Hermit. he almost reminds me of Macha from .hack//SIGN in a way.so if you are a fan of anything .hack related i would recommend to pick it up. especially at the price it is now compared to almost $30 bux

It was a shame this was so short, so much happens though, the animation was incredible! same ol story gimmicks, C.C.Corp is at it again involved with mysterious hospitalizations as always... but it is a new story based on all the other material.. a new .hack in its own right... as this is my absolute favorite series ever this does not disappoint in the continuation of my favorite anime series. A masterpiece to add to any fans collection and something amazing for newcomers.

I wasn't sure what this dvd/bluray combo would have in store. I watched Sign and played all the ps2 games.. I watched it and I was really tempted to break out the old PS2 and replay the original 4 games. I really wish they would port those to the ps3.. maybe in HD.. Well back to the review.. The episodes felt short but got everything across to the viewer. I guess I should watch the GU ova's now.

First, if you haven't seen the previous .hack series, well, you can still watch this one. It's a great short series within itself, but also a wonderful addition to the existing line of .hack out there. If you're an anime fan, or a MMO fan, or just like a really well made show, then you'll like .hack//Quantum. I've personally watched it at least four or five times, both on funimation's web-site as well as on the DVD.

Produit conforme et livraison rapide.La compilation en Blue Ray des 3 OAV de .hack//Quantum.Indispensable pour les fans de la série !

Very poor quality cardboard box. Flimsy and thin. Arrived scraped, scuffed and ripped in places. Not worth the money.Better to get the UK Blu ray version if the box is thicker, or DVD which has a hard case

The .hack video franchise has been one of my favorite of all time up to and including it's movies and games. The movie arrived ahead of schedule and played as soon as I put it into the laptop and PS3 blue ray player. Not a negative comment from me, except I wish I wrote the review for this movie ahead of time and not having amazon tell me that I forgot.Final conclusion, 10 out 10. Would I recommend to a friend? definitively. Fast Service and a great seller.All I wish know is Phantasy Star Online 2 gets a North American release.

国内プレイヤーで再生可能（私はSONYのBDP-1200）。タイトルで、英語字幕ＯＦＦが可能。ただし、特典映像に関しては、その都度リモコン設定で、字幕ＯＦＦをしなければいけない。ドットハックに関しては、ゲーム版はカイトが主人公のＰＳ２のみプレイ。アニメ版は、「.hack//Liminality 」「.hack//SIGN」「.hack//GIFT 」」「.hack//Integration」「.hack//黄昏の腕輪伝説」「.hack//Roots」「ドットハック セカイの向こうに」を見てきたので、それなりにドットハックの世界観は頭に入っています。旧作ドットハックからのファンならば、旧作のあんな設定やこんな設定が、凝縮して入っているので（『.hack//G.U.』のあのキャラが登場・データドレイン・紋章の使用等）、鑑賞していると「ニヤリ」とするシーンが多いです。その為、旧来からのファンの方には、中々お勧めの出来となっています。基本、ドットハックを全く知らない方でも楽しめる作りになっているので、ファンタジーアクション系（実際は近未来ＳＦですが）の作品が好きな方ならば、買って損は無いと思います。ただ、いかんせん物語の尺が短い（本編75分）ので、過度の期待は禁物です。私的には、本作登場のキャラも物語設定も好きだったので、1クールぐらいで続編を作ってもらいたい所です。

This small OVA serie was entertaining. Much better than .hack//Roots
