He can travel through all the realms. The person that is playing falls into a coma and are now stuck in the game "The World"
And Tsukasa can't log out as all the other users. And he can feel and smell everything in there as if it really existed. Tsukasa don't remember anything from his life out in the real world. And the other people in the game starts to think he has something to do with hackers that tries to take over the game and they tries to capture him.
Tsukasa obtains a kind of magic that can call fort a dangerous monster that attacks everything that is threatening Tsukasa, even if Tsukasa doesn't want to.
Tsukasa don't know whom he can trust anymore. The only one he fights for now is a girl that floats sleeping over a bed in a hidden real that only Tsukasa can enter. He wants the girl to wake up. But is someone trying to stop him?
And who is the woman that tells Tsukasa not to think about his past? Will Tsukasa find the way to be able to log out or will he be stuck in the game forever?

Animation/Design
Rating: 8
This is truly one of my fave animations. I just love the coloring in it. It’s crisp and a bit bright. It makes it feels like it's really something magical about the series. Sometimes the backgrounds and other stuff can seem a bit simple but it's really neat.

Story
Rating: 9
I just love the story in hack//SIGN it reminds me so much of myself sometimes. Since I'm a online player myself it's really fun to watch. Just the concept of it is great. You can really feel it's an online game.
The story itself can sometimes be a bit confusing. Cause a few times you don't really know who or what they are talking about. Especially when it comes to the later episodes. You have to concentrate to follow the story or you will get lost.

Music
Rating: 10
I only got one word to say: The BEST music EVER.
The music to the series is just the best I ever heard. I actually got the real soundtrack to it. All the songs on the album is good. I don't know a song from it that I don't like and that is really rare. Usually there is only two or three good teams.

Overall (not an average)
Rating: 10
This is one of my absolutely favorite series. Maybe it is because I like online games, I'm not sure. The series got a bit of everything in it and it really keeps you caught at the screen. So if you were a game freak like me I would truly recommend this series to you.
