As I always have to vouch for the .hack series, but i'd only suggest watching the anime if you're willing to do at least 1 or 2 of the following things: the .hack series consists of video games (default, main story, you HAVE to play these) manga, and the novels. The correct order of going about this is (with *'d things being the most important): A.I. Buster (novel)->A.I. Buster 2 (Novel)-> .hack//SIGN* (anime)-> .hack//infection, mutation, outbreak, and quarantine* (PS2 Games)->Legend of the Twilight (MANGA, never watch the anime version, it is non-canon and doesn't affect the series). That's all for project .hack. For .hack Conglomerate, which takes place AFTER the first series, is: .hack//Alcor (manga)-> .hack//Roots* (anime)-> .hack//G.U.* (PS2 Games). That's all that I know that was released in america. If you aren't going to play the games, that's really the end of the main storyline.
