Summary:
In 2015, CC Corporation's data center caught on fire destroying "The World". By splicing in data from what would have been another project, CC Corp. was able to rebuild the game. In 2016, "The World R:2" was released. .hack//Roots covers the time Haseo spent with Shino and Ovan in the guild known as the Twilight Brigade, before the .hack//G.U. PS2 games.
While gradually watching the first episode (currently working lol), i can say its really similar to almost all online-level up games. where there some PKer's, guild, weapon upgrade, weapon conditions and etc. and Maybe i gonna love this anime :D

I finished watching it. Roots was a great anime. The soundtrack/music was great, as were the scenery and characters; very detailed and colorful. As for the story itself; it's very real, primarily because it's an RPG based anime. (People choose an avatar join a guild/team and go on quests.) If you've played RPG type games you'll find this to be a great perspective; and if you haven't it maybe difficult to relate to.
The only anime more boring than Hack Roots is Twelve Kingdoms, it's dreadfully slow, the dialogue is uninteresting and the story is lack luster. If you want to watch something slow watch Xxx Holic or Inu x Boku SS at least they have interesting stories. There is just nothing to care about in this anime imagine watching people play warcraft and just stand around and talk in town before killing a boar once in a while, that's what Hack Roots is like you are watching an anime about the most boring online game never created.

The Twilight Brigade members are on a mission to find the Key of the Twilight, however, the TaN guild opposes this for some unknown reason and will stop at nothing to keep the Twilight Brigade from their goal.
