Aired: Wednesday January 14, 2004

Helba has prepared a special hot springs for the .hack characters so they could get some rest and relaxation. Kite, Elk, Tsukasa, Mimiru and many other characters from the series make an appearence in The World for this reward. There is only one small catch, Helba will not reveal the exact location of where the springs are located. It soon becomes a race between the cast of .hack//SIGN and the characters from the game to see who can find it first. However, this is a catch, while everyone is trying to find the springs, someone is going around killing the other charcaters. Who will make it to the springs first and who is behind the deaths of many of the other characters?

Sorry, no blogs exist at this time.

The Bottom Line: "Mildly interesting"

.hack//liminality is an interesting ova. Unlike the other shows/games in the series, .hack//liminality revolves purely around the outside world, instead of "The World", a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game.

Compaired to .hack//sign, the story is lacking much, but then again, it's supposed to be watched after playing each game it's packaged with. I guess that's where the rest of what it's missing is hiding. If they decided to make more episodes of this ova, I would welcome it, but that doesn't mean I would watch it. Compaired to .hack//sign, this ova is too short and leaves a lot to be desired.

Even though this series is short by four episodes, I think it was the greatest. We all want to know what's happening offline of .hack//SIGN. Three girls try to investigate the mysteries of the dot hackers being trapped in "The World." There were no player characters in the series. Just normal citizens solving inexplicable mysteries.

I sure wish these episodes were available on DVD. I would like to watch them again.

Liminality was a fantastic thing to include with the four .hack games. However, it wasn't in depth as I've come to expect of the .hack series.

The plot of the OVAs complemented the game perfectly. Events that happen in the OVAs appear in the news in the game, and even a character makes an appearance in the game.

Don't buy the games just for the OVAs. If you enjoy the games watch the OVAs, there�s some secret areas hidden in the subtitles of the OVAs to secret areas. If you don�t own a PS2 or enjoy the games, rent the games and watch the OVAs. They are worth watching, just not worth the $ to buy the game.

The Bottom Line: "Absolutely fabulous"
Amazing. I had a little trouble getting into it, but it was well worth it ...Continue »
First off, .hack//LIMINALITY confused me greatly at first. I watched all of the disks out of order. After watchin them in order, I fell in love with it. It is animated very well, has a very good story the goes along with the .hack GAMES (Which I love very much). Well worth anyone's time who can stand to watch something without any form of violence
