Hihi all,

There are 4 or 5 versions of .hack//sign.

1) TV show
2) OAVs 
3) game
4) manga

All are slightly different or they focus on the same main 
character just during a different time period.  Issues 1 and
2 of the English NEWTYPE gives a lot of info about the 
different stories.

The game is coming to the US here very soon, like in the 
next few months.  And like the Japanese version it should
come with OAV 1.

Also on FEB 1, 2003 .hack//sign the TV series begins on
the Cartoon Network.  Unfortunately it is during the afternoon,
so expect some editing.  Can you believe it this 26 eps show
just ended in Japan in NOV I think...

It also would not surprise me if the DVD in the upcoming FEB
NEWTYPE has the first episode of this series.
