The short answer is that Roots takes place directly before GU, but that's not exactly true. GU begins with Haseo starting out in The World and going on his first quest with two players who end up killing him. Ovan shows up, revives him, and then it skips several months into the future. Roots begins with Ovan reviving him and covers those several months, plus a little bit into the beginning of the first game.
However, a lot of stuff in Roots, especially towards the end when it goes beyond that skipped period, contradicts what happens in the game. The only one that's a real problem is the identities of Pi and Yatta. The show and game don't mesh nearly as well as Sign and the original games did. Honestly, even as a huge .Hack fan I thought Roots sucked. There were a few good episodes around the middle, but overall it was one big time filler and aside from what happens around ep. 13-14 it only serves to confuse things in GU. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

As I said a year ago, no. Most of Roots feels like little more than filler, and even contradicts GU on several points. I said before that the middle of Roots was semi-important at least, but even that's a little different from how the games say things happened. Unless you want to watch the Twilight Brigade frolick/be emo then you can skip it.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
