Product Description
It was the year 2015, and for gamers throughout the world, it was the year 'The World' as they knew it burned to the ground. Caught in a mysterious fire, the datacenters containing all information about the world's most popular game were destroyed. Now, one year later a new game has arrived born out of splicing data from a new project : The World R:2. As millions of players throughout the servers, they soon discover that this version of the world is much more unforgiving than its previous incarnation. More dangerous than any game created monster, Player Killers now infest all servers, endlessly searching for easy prey in this unstable world. As one of the many newbies to begin his adventures in the R:2 world, Haseo will find himself a target of not only the numerous Player Killers, but of two rivaling guilds, who hope to use his reputed special gifts to pursue their own agendas.

The third broadcast series based on the PlayStation 2 game .hack//G.U., .hack//Roots (2006) continues the imaginative designs and intriguing storytelling that characterized .hack//Sign (2002) and .hack//Legend of the Twilight (2003). The role-playing game known as The World is infested with PKs: Player Killers who needlessly slay their cyber-opponents. Haseo learns about PKs the hard way during his first game. He's revived by Ovan, the leader of the largely defunct Twilight Brigade that searches for the mysteriousKey of the Twilight--which Tsukasa pursued in Sign. The Brigade still has a few members: elegant, intuitive Shino; obnoxiously upbeat newcomer Tabby; and long-suffering Sakisaka. Pitted against them are the sinister members of the TaN guild. The rival guilds pursue Haseo, who possesses a mysterious talent that will affect the fate of The World. Koichi Mashimo directs with his familiar, assured skill, and the special effects are impressive. .hack//Roots will please fans of the earlier series and introduce newcomers to the attractions and dangers of The World. The Limited Edition Boxed Set includes a T-shirt, a soundtrack CD, and a demonstration disc for the PlayStation 2 Game .hack//G.U.//Rebirth. (Rated 13 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

I own this on japanese dvd and I'll tell ya, this is only beaten by .hack//sign. This series has better animation, and more fighting. But sign had a wack story line. Well anyways If your a .hack// fan or if you play the games, or if youve seen either sign or roots on cartoon network I recomend this item. I guarentee you wont be disapointed

Great package.
GREAT package...
This anime will bore the nuts off a tree.
Unless you know this anime, and love this anime, don't rush into a purchase.
The games were fun and silly, but longwinded. This anime does more of that but without the action of the game, and with even slower and less poignant dialogue. I was hoping it would be like //SIGN where there was talking but it felt the characters connected and solved a mystery. //ROOTS is a lot of talking that goes nowhere and means nothing. You can definitely play the games without knowing anything from this anime series. The only part it fills out for the gamer is Phyllo's placement within the game; though he doesn't show up in the game, his legacy is handed down.
You have to be hard core to enjoy this anime.
