You need to play the four-part video game series to full experience, especially considering as .hack//Sign provides more questions than answers. However by itself, the series still provides an interesting experience with a strong storyline and concept.

You will be forgiven for thinking that this anime series is based on the three-volume manga series of the same name by Tatsuya Hamazaki and Rei Izumi given the similar context to the plot and almost identical character cast.

While it can go overboard at times, the spontaneous comedy and cuteness of Strawberry Marshmallow puts it safely in the territory of anime series such as Azumanga Daioh and Pani Poni Dash, and should appeal to anime fans who have enjoyed either of both of these titles.

While they have not shared any information on ticket sales or locations just yet, following an earlier announcement made by them the other day, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment have confirmed that their Reel Anime website has been updated...

Have you been reading my reviews of Hanabee's anime releases and thought that a series is tempting but the price was just a smidgen too high for your liking? With Christmas around the corner, the Australian anime publisher have confirmed...
