About .hack
.hack follows players trapped inside the MMO The World, opening with Kite and BlackRose in SIGN's 26 episodes from April 2002. The Liminality OVA quartet ran alongside in the real world, then Legend of the Twilight added 12 episodes in 2003.
Roots ran 26 episodes in 2006 setting up the GU games, the GU Trilogy film followed in 2007, Quantum closed with three OVAs in 2011 and Beyond the World filmed it in 2012. Watch in release order: SIGN, Liminality, Twilight, Roots, GU film, Quantum, Beyond. Each era assumes the last.
Good to know
Release order is the intended path through the anime side. The games interleave between series but stay optional for anime viewers, since each show recaps what matters. Liminality pairs with SIGN episode by episode for purists, though watching it after works fine. The anime run closed in 2012 with no new series announced.
