Calling all .hack//sign fans

[Sparrowhawk]

Question down below; this is just rambling about how great i thought .hack//sign to be.

Did anyone out there enjoy .hack//sign as much as i did? it was the first anime series i have ever watched all the way through (yay!) since starting to watch anime about a week ago. I borrowed it from a friend at school (who gave me one disc at a time for the first two and then gave me all of them at once cause i watched it all that night and he was tired of remembering) and stayed up till 4 AM to finish the last 60% on Friday night (i should join that CAA insombiac(? i cant spell) club, since i cant go to sleep but i cant get to my cpu either). I had completely lost my mind (and still would be crazy if there were any more) with this anime. The story and characters were amazing! Tsuakasa was my favorite character (someone searching for something, even if not knowing for sure what it is and also wanting to escape from life, but then realizing you can't and it may be as bad as you think, but there is always some good you miss until your fear is overcome and you open your eyes and search for it), but i think my personality is more like one of the less exciting characters such as Silver Knight or Bear (probabbly Bear, or at least i hope so, i don't want to be so judgemental as Silver Night, but his motives are good, even if he is a little quick to act), which leads into my question.

For all those who liked .hack//sign, who was your favorite character and why? And which character could you most relate to? As i said earlier my favorite was Tsukasa, but i could probably relate more to Bear since i often try to use games or books to escape and try to do what i have either failed to do or cannot do in real life instead of enjoying them for controlled entertainment like they were designed for.

In some ways I'm most like Bear but the character I most identify with is
Mimuru,she's also my favorite character.Of course one reason is that she's
played in the dub by one of my favorite voice actors:Amanda Winn Lee
who also played Mika Seido in the dub of Geneshaft.

balmung of corse. you learn to love him in the last games and lottb. i do adentify with him quite a bit only thing is this, why does he have so many different va ?

[Spike Ikari]

I remember when they showed this on CN. My little brother got me into it, and me and my friends would watch it, it was a good show to watch.

My favortie character I think is Tsukasa, I think I relate, I'm kind of quiet and keep to myself a lot.

Actually my brother got the first .hack game, it's alright. Our most prized item however is the soundtrack we bought last week, been listening to it ever since.

Personally my favorite character was Tsukasa. I can relate to him on more than one level (even my friends have pointed it out. They think it's creepy).

[Rue Shibusky]

I personally liked Subaru the most. Mainly because she's one of the very few female heavy axemen that I ever get to see.

[Joshua Christopher]

I like the little animal things. I want to be one of them.

[Ren_sama]

I liked...that annoying guy who always poped up. Sora was it? And that dude with the blue hair. (I'm so bad with names)
They were cool. I could relate with 'Sora?' cuz I'm probably annoying cuz I always pop up on people...kukuku...

a question (maybe spoiler?)
[spoiler]Is Tsukasa a girl in RL? That's what I heard, but I never watched the ending of the series, so I'm not sure. . .[/spoiler]

[Debitt]

[spoiler]Yeah, Tsukasa is a girl RL. She plays a boy character because apparently her abusive father wanted a son.[/spoiler]

[desperado]

ok im wondering what happened to a lot of the cast after sign [spoiler] i know crim, bear, a-29 (or however its spelled), ginkin (well untill lottb....that was annoying) all appear in the games, but there is a scene were crim mentions something happened to subaru. im wondering what happened and where is the others.... did they quite or what? [/spoiler]

[Kawaiikneko]

I love .hack but I havent seen the anime in forever b/c my friend is borrowing it...

[termyt]

I don't think there are answers to that, desperado. At least none I've found in the anime or the games.

I'm definitely most like bear - an old man who hangs out playing video games and chatting with people younger then him? Yep, that's me. Mimiru was my favorite character. Tsubasa ws basically a jerk, but Mimiru saw passed that and help him anyway. That was an impressive display of character.

[Kawaiikneko]

*subtle hint* oh btw .hack people go over to the .hack rpg that just started... its a little slow right now ^^

Anyhoo, my favorite character was probly mimiru or subaru.... [spoiler="click here"]I LOVED when Subaru disbanded the Crimson Knights! She was just so cool!! I was practically squealing when I watched that.[/spoiler] But... I looove Krim. He's just so awesome. And since I didn't really like Sora that much I was so happy when he faught him. ^^;

[Kaori]

My favorite character by far was Crim/Kurimu, although I also liked the cat (Macha) fairly well. I strongly disliked Sora at the beginning of the series, but by the end I simply found him amusing, partly because of the realization that
[spoiler=Sora]In real life, he is a child.[/spoiler]...which completely changed the way I viewed his personality.

I can't say I truly identified with any of the characters, although Tsukasa comes the closest due to his introverted personality.

[desperado]

crim or balmung are my favorite characters by far but kite, ginkin, and ouka get honorable mention one thing i really find interesting about the world is [spoiler] people act differently then what they really are, like ouka acts very flirty and all cool in the world but is really kind of a geek in the real world (hey geeks are cool) and ginkin being the super pious knight he is, it turns out he really is just a teenager working in a video rental store [/spoiler] sorry if i have branched off into the games and lottb some

and ill go now with one of my favorite quotes from .//hack or any anime for that matter
sora: your so oldschool!
crim: yes but that just means im confident enough in myself that i dont have to be constantly changing with the times
(sorry if i didnt get it word for word)

[Kisa]

i liked it alot! i miss the characters, my fav was mimiru ^^ we are so alike its scary.. hehe
