AniWorth.hack//Gift
Introduction
As an expression of gratitude for the heroes of both the .hack//Sign and the .hack game series, Helba has prepared a special event for all the characters to find the newly established "Twilight Hot Springs." The characters can get their well-deserved rest and relaxation by having a soak in the wonderful hot springs, but there is only one problem—the hot springs are hidden, and there have been mysterious player murders. With the only clue being the word "GIFT," the race has begun to find the culprit and the location of the hot springs.

i liked it. it was cute. very funny and full of jokes for those in the know. :-)
I like the abstract art style it is very cute. I would not tell someone to watch this first in the franchise but it's good to watch it after sign and playing the IMOQ games. the entire cast of main characters are there even elk and mia. they look goofy but it's cool to see them included... it does spoil the plot beats for .hack//sign but imoqs plot isn't really touched on... all in all I think it would be fun to watch for someone who is a fan of the franchise...

The .Hack franchise has always been loved by a select cult following, and hated (for the most part) by nearly everyone else. Some series in the franchise are worthier than others, but unfortunately with the advent of anime like Sword Art Online, Accel World, etc. new comers to .Hack find less and less to like.
It isn't as novel a concept as it was on release, and to have a great grasp on the series you have to play through the .Hack video games, which are expensive as well as a bit dated (the first game series especially).
I myself am a fan of the franchise. So when I sat down to watch this short expecting to see some new animation and all of the characters I had grown to love, imagine my horror when I pressed play.
The art of this is dismally unappealing. I expected to see more detai…

Okay so let's start this monstrous OVA review.
Story
It's plain and simple, Helba decides to create her own world by telling all the players and characters from the .hack series that she is opening up a hot springs and it's their job or quest to look for it, and apparently whichever group (series) finds it first will get a prize. Aside from the main story there are small little commentaries and tiny problems that the characters have with each other which seem more amusing than the main objective, it's literally like all over the place and it's hard to keep track on who has a problem with and whatnot. Overall the story is really not that important you'll just be entertained at the fact that Subaru actually used her axe for once.
Art
It's weird, it's plain weird. The characters are drawn…
