    Dot hack sign may not be that entertaining, but for me there is something special to it. I felt like it perfectly expressed how it feels to be lost in a state of depression and trying to find something meaningful, probably without even meaning to.

      It’s somber and introspective with solid music throughout. I enjoyed .hack//sign more than anything else in the series.

    Magical destroyers you would think that with that opening a show would explore some deeper an meaningful themes.
    No. It doesn’t.
    Opening is a banger though.

    I don’t remember anything about dot hack except it sad so damn boring. I think it had a good premise and decent art but all the Mc did was nothing.

      I haven’t watched it since about when this clip of the opening was first uploaded, but I recall a lot of the emotional beats getting undercut by long bits of dialogue interrupting the events of the show.

      For instance I remember some fight where it felt like every time someone started speaking all of the other characters stopped everything they were doing as if waiting for their turn to do something. Which wouldn’t have been so bad considering you don’t want the camera to miss the actiony bits but it took so much time for anyone to say their line that it was distracting.

      Again, haven’t seen it in a long time so I may be misremembering, but that was the impression I got from my initial viewing.

      Man, I used to listen to Gunslinger Girl II’s opening on repeat for hours. But yeah, the second season was a little bit of a letdown

    Absolute duo. The anime is just your standard harem bullshit with a story that makes no sense, but the opening is so good. I watched that anime exactly because I got intrigued by the opening, and got disappointed
