| − | '''.hack//SIGN''' is a 26 episode anime that revolves around a [[Wavemaster]] named [[Tsukasa]] who becomes mysteriously trapped in [[The World]], and also about a group of players who wish to find a mysterious item called the [[Key of the Twilight]]. Two OVA episodes were created with one about a player named [[Mimika]] and the other occurring in [[Net Slum]] a few months after the events of the [[Games|.hack//Games]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Setting== |
||
| − | SIGN takes place almost entirely in "The World", with almost all scenes that take place in the real world being shown colorless with a grainy effect, in “silent film style” (where the words appear on screen instead of listening to them). The only exception is at the end of the last episode. |

| − | [[Image:Tsukasa.PNG|thumb|[[Tsukasa]], SIGN's main protagonist.]] |
||
| − | The story begins when a mysterious player wakes up in a dungeon and finds a golden chest in front of him. That player is [[Tsukasa]]. He has no memory as to how he got into "The World" or the past. In that same area, he finds a player named [[Mimiru]], a [[Heavy Blade]] with a real attitude problem with Tsukasa. Frustrated with Mimiru, Tsukasa leaves the dungeon using a Sprite Ocarina, leaving Mimiru to keep the chest. As Tsukasa walks around [[Theta Server|Dun Loireag]], he is spotted by the [[Crimson Knights]]. [[Silver Knight]], the leader of the pack, warns Tsukasa that he is under watch after he is spotted with a [[Macha (Cat)|'cat-player character']]. Tsukasa leaves the town without using a [[Chaos Gate]] (which is an illegal act in The World). After Tsukasa finds out he can't log out of 'The World', everyone goes suspicious on him ([[Bear]] even went to the hospital where he may be). Tsukasa wants to find the [[Key of the Twilight]], and so does everyone else in the game and with the help of Tsukasa, it will be an adventure they won't forget. |
