You mean Unison?

Though I havn't watched .hack//SIGN is a long long time, YTV should show .hack//GIFT ^^

I wouldn't mind as well, but they never mentioned about whether they were getting GIFT or not, so I assume they didn't pick that up.

Isn't GIFT only 5-10 minutes, though?

There is still no word on what show will be airing in the 10:30pm slot when .hack ends.


Wouldn't the logical assumption be another run of .hack?

Zannen Canada. Heheheh. That's funny.

Not necessarily. YTV normally starts airing a new show right after the last series ends. The only exception so far has been Gundam SEED, but most suspect that's because Destiny will likely take that timeslot soon.

Well, I hope anyway.

Nope. And as far as I know, they never aired in Japan either. I guess the show's been successful enough for YTV to see value in renegotiating for two extra episodes.

Nope, it's a full-length episode, complete with the opening and ending of .hack//SIGN, though slightly modified. >_>

No way it would air on TV, it's just too weird and audience specific. Plus, spoiler[Helba's naked].

Has Unison ever been seen before by the American audiences? I don't remember Bandai releasing that one on DVD. And wouldn't it be great if Cartoon Network stopped showing .hack//DUSK reruns and started up .hack//SIGN again?

Unison (aka Reunion) was on the limited edition DVD, which actually isn't too hard to find.

Personally, I'm hoping that YTV STARTS airing Legend of the Twilight Bracelet soon, since SIGN's popularity would certainly justify it. It actually made the top ten most popular shows list on their website, which really surprised me.

Finding it isn't the hard thing though. Those LE DVD's cost a grip. I mean the extras were great but it wasn't cheap.
