this show is so complicated!! lol
heres the order it aired in japan:

Sign 2002
Liminity 2002-2003
Twilight 2003
Roots 2006



Yet, basically all of the series are seperate storylines. You need to play the games to understand really what is fully going on.Because Roots wasn't meant an anime on its own, its like a prequel to the .hack games that came out (.Hack//G.U. 1-Rebirth, 2-Reminisce, 3-Redemption). The Roots storyline continues into those games.

Also if you play the first 4 .hack games(.Hack// 1-Infection, 2-Mutation, 3-Outbreak, 4-Quarantine) theres a few characters from Sign that are in the games, because .Hack//Sign anime takes place while the first 4 games are going on.
[thanks to Vash for the explanation]

This is an idea of an outline made by gflgs that im gonna follow for this series =]

.hack//Sign 1-28(anime)
.hack//Gift(anime)
.hack//Luminality Vol.1(anime)
.hack//Infection(game)
.hack//Luminality Vol.2(anime)
.hack//Mutation(game)
.hack//Luminality Vol.3(anime)
.hack//Outbreak(game)
.hack//Luminality Vol.4(anime)
.hack//Quarantine(game)
.hack//Legend of Twilight(anime)
.hack//Roots(anime)
.hack//G.U. 1-4(game)
.hack//G.U. Returner(anime)

I would just like to say that .hack sign is actually before the events of the first 4 video games and its only liminality going on at the same time.

Also you could just read the books that the games are based on if you dont want to buy them. They are called the another birth series and they are shown from Black Roses view (note this is a book not a manga) or you could read .hack//xxxx manga which is the same story except from kites view
