 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }).hack//Liminality is a 4-episode OVA which deals with what is occurring in the real world during the time period of the .hack R1 Games. The OVA was originally distributed as a bonus with the games, one DVD per installment. However, subsequent re-releases haven't included the DVDs, and they can be hard to find used. In Japan, the OVAs were re-released separately as part of ".hack//Integration", a campaign to help consolidate the multimedia franchise. Liminality is unique among .hack// in that it is set entirely in the real world; there are a few segments where the characters play the game, but we never see the game through their eyes during these scenes.The plot deals with former CC Corp Employee Junichiro Tokuoka investigating the mysterious comas that players are falling into while playing The World. He first runs into Mai Minase, who managed to avoid falling into a coma, even though the boy she was playing with did. The two team up, and eventually meet with two of the boy's online friends to enact a plan and help wake the coma victims up.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See .hack for information about the franchise as a whole.There are character sheets.

 Bat Deduction: When Tokuoka and Kyoko are sent from place to place finding clues, they stop for a moment. Tokuoka deduces that the game of clue-hunting is meant to resemble an RPG. This appears to be totally right.

 Bowdlerisation: In the Japanese version of "The Case of Mai Minase", Skeith's wand has a cross shape visible at the top; in the American version, the cross shape is changed to the Q shape used in .hack//SIGN and the American releases of the games.

 Alternate Reality Game: Downplayed in that the Liminality series were released with their corresponding games, so there wasn't much to specifically point out. But if you were to enter the area codes throughout the series into the actual titles (such as where Tokuoka and Mai get attacked by Skeith in part 1), you'd find special items and events.
