.hack anyone? Pretty far out concepts

I just started watching quantum again and am very impressed. If you are not familiar with any of the .hack series here is a quick rundown. It is set in a virtual world slightly in the future, in a game called "the world" Which is basically a virtual reality mmo rpg style game people play. There are several .hack series all with slightly different styles.
Anyways the main concept in the series and quantom is people abusing the game to control peoples consciousness through the computers. Basically causing them to go into a real world coma and be stuck in the game, either conscious or unconscious. In quantum though they add a new pretty intense concept, the villain is putting people in coma's then hooking them up to a huge network where he can then turn their brainpower into part of a huge quantum computer. Pretty far out stuff. Just a warning, all the .hacks are pretty cheesy, I can dig em though due to the cool concepts and animation.

I remember seeing one of them on Netflix, but I never got around to watching it. And cheesy? How bad is it would it be completly untolorable on its own without the cool concepts?

Well they are all pretty "childish" so to speak, as in all the main characters are usually young and there is a fair amount of related cheez, but I guess most anime is like that somewhat. .hack Legend is probably the worst as far as cheesiness goes. Quantum was not actually that bad, and its only 3 episodes too. But all the original are definitely where its at. Even if they are a bit more cheesy.
Also is that movie even real? Looks like a parody or something. .hack is like the exact opposite of that

I was a fan when I was a teen. But it wasn't really that good. However the music is brilliant!

Which one are you referring too? I definitely dig most of the music, some interesting stuff. Lots of creative weird ass shit. As I re watched Sign I noticed so much bit crushing and wah pedals/ envelope filters. Some crazy stuff. I wish they had just made them more serious and less cheesy japanime style. Quantom was pretty solid though I thought, maybe that's just because its so short so there's no time to OD on the cheeez. This whole series has mad me re evaluate how many people view most sentiment though. Its pretty interesting, many people see sentimental stuff an just write it off as cheesy myself included. But there shouldn't really be anything wrong with sentiment and conveying emotions and stuff. Even if they are pretty "cheesy"

I watch pretty much every cartoon or anime I want to watch on watchcartoononline.com but I am sure there are plenty of others. As for a sample, I just looked for a bit for a good quantum clip but thres not much on youtube so this is the best I could find:
It has no audio, but shows some cool scenes from the show and highlights the animation pretty well.
And here is a music video for Sign, once again it shows the animation pretty well. The song in the video is the song from the series too that they play in like every episode I really dig the classical guitar in it and the violin as well. I was impressed with all the crazy fusion music in Sign, I am not much of an electronic fan but they blend it pretty well.

I'm not really into Manga / Anime at all, but this looks like something I could watch while on the treadmill or something. Thanks for the hookup. 
Now to find a downloadable copy...

If your not into anime I could see you not liking it much, it definitely has a lot of stereotypical anime stuff. But it has a lot of cool stuff as well and is definitely very creative for a anime/ manga. Also the soundtracks are pretty damn great, lots of different cool stuff. Here is another song from Sign, such interesting fusion in it:
