Who very early is shown to command a neigh indestructible unnatural looking creature “The Guardian”. hack//Sign is a series that follows a partially amnesiac Wavemaster Tsukasa. However, something I can’t help but appreciate, looking back on the series after nearly two decades, is how well these first entries’ metatext about The World holds up as a theoretical videogame and MMO. hack franchise has so much media it’s easier for the sake of brevity to say I forget the precise number of prequels.

The two great loves of my life have been anime and video games.
