.hack

Patrician taste, but I'd not actually recommend it to many. It made the dubious decision to throw its plot to the nine winds and seven seas, and getting the whole story requires watching anime, playing video games, reading LNs, and reading manga, and none of them overlap or properly summarize information from the others.

Yeah, it's fairly linear so the "watch order" is obvious, but it's still far more complicated to fully view than most media, if you wind up liking the story.

It's got some great music though. Don't need a full understanding to enjoy that.

EDIT: Haseo >>> Kite or Tsukasa, but SIGN > G.U.

Properly enjoying .hack is probably one of the most preparation-intensive things. Yeah, it's fairly linear so the "watch order" is obvious, but it's still far more complicated to view than most media.
