The .hack//whatever franchise is really inconsistent but overall it's a pretty cool series of anime/games. But the part of .hack that really made me like the franchise was the installment of .hack//G.U..
Yeah .hack//Roots was awful and .hack//Trilogy was even worse, but the storyline/concept was great, and the soundtrack and viral marketing (dothack.com/gu) made it really interesting. So did the trailer at E3 2005 - that's still my favorite game trailer to date (except maybe Diablo 3).
Overall the animes for .hack were subpar and the first gen games were too, so i don't know why this series has always been so appealing to me. I guess I really like MMOs?
Too bad all .hack makes me do is want to play MMOs really bad. And really really wish The World was a real game =\
