What is your definition of to much episodes? IIRC, the whole of .hack, including ova's exists of a mere 75 episodes

are you also including the games which bridge the gaps between the last 2 episodes of SIGN (first 4 games) and ROOTS (G.U games)? which ultimately is the bulk of the story of the First Twilight and the AIDA Incident
