.Hack//Roots
Another sequel of .Hack (read: dot hack) series, however the setting is a prequel of its video games version, which is .Hack//G.U. This .Hack series is the first one which is broadcasted through HDTV (High-Definition Television). Therefore I often found it in enourmous sizes (200 until 350 MegaBytes!).
Plot

Haseo, a Multi-Weapon and member of the Twilight Brigade guild. In the year 2015, CC Corp. Building burnt down, and with it, most of its data for The World. By splicing data from what would have potentially been another game, CC Corp. created The World R:2 and released it in 2016.

Set eight months before .hack//G.U., Haseo logs into The World R:2 for the first time and falls victim to the PKs that reside within The World R:2. He is saved by Ovan and Shino, which prompts him to join the Twilight Brigade.

The Twilight Brigade members are on a mission to find the Key of the Twilight, however, the TaN guild opposes this because they want Ovan’s character data possibly because of his device in his arm and will stop at nothing to keep the Twilight Brigade from their goal. But possibly the reason is because Ovan is after it.

• Haseo - Multi-Weapon: The protagonist of the series, and a newbie within The World R:2. Haseo frequently encounters PKs before joining the Twilight Brigade, his motivation for doing so is unclear, but he appears to be obsessed with Ovan. He is an outsider in real life, and not very good at dealing with people. In the first episode of the series, Ovan tells Haseo that he has a ’special characteristic”. What this characteristic is is currently unknown. Though he has displayed bizarre abilities several times within the series.

• Ovan - Steam Gunner: The Guildmaster of the Twilight Brigade, Ovan has some strange device sealed around his left arm. As always, a mystery. Many people think he is odd, due in large part to his search for the Key of the Twilight, an item that may not exist. Apparantly, Ovan’s PC data is as large as an entire field, which may be due to Corbenik’s data being a part of his PC, but there is no confirmation as of yet.

• Shino - Harvest: One of the few people close to Ovan and acting as leader whenever Ovan is incapable of doing so. Gentle-mannered but strong-minded, she holds the Twilight Brigade together during Ovan’s frequent absences.
