i recently watched the .Hack Sign complete series for the second time. i was wondering, is there another series after that? i know there are a few games out there. if anyone could fill me in, that would be cool.

.hack spans a bunch of different media currently. Chronologically, story-wise, this is (to the best of my knowledge) what's out there:

First Main Storyline:
Pre-SIGN
.hack//AI Buster (novel)
.hack//AI Buster 2 (collection of short stories, spanning Pre-SIGN through the games)

.hack//SIGN (TV Series)

Immediately following SIGN
.hack//Zero (novel, not translated)

Six months after SIGN
.hack//Infection (PS2 Game)
.hack//Mutation (PS2 Game)
.hack//Outbreak (PS2 Game)
.hack//Quarantine (PS2 Game)

Concurrent with the games
.hack//Liminality (4 OVAs, bundled with the PS2 games)
.hack//Another Birth (4 novels, only the first is translated so far)

After the games
.hack//Gift (OVA, sequel to both SIGN and the games, included with the Limited Edition of .hack//SIGN volume 6 in the US)

Four years after the games
.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet (originally 3 manga volumes, later a TV series)

Seven years after the games
GU Storyline:
.hack//Roots (TV Series, licensed but not released by Bandai yet)
.hack//G.U. (3 PS2 games, the first gets released in the US 10/24)

I know there are a few other manga side projects that haven't been translated yet, but I'm not certain what they are, especially in the GU Storyline.

I'm sure that with a little 'creative' searching you can find what you need. In HD too.

and Lantis: Wow, that's one serious list of .hack stuff!
