serial experiments lain
We're all connected... There is the world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There is the wired world, inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiences, and a culture all of its own. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a 14-year-old girl, discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an e-mail from the dead girl: I just abandoned my body. I still live here... Has the line between the real world and the wired world begun to blur? (Source: Geneon Entertainment)

~~~img620(https://giffiles.alphacoders.com/171/171450.gif)~~~ Serial Experiments Lain tells the tale of a 14 year old girl, Lain, trying to find out what her role in both reality and the internet is.

Read full review on AniList →Pra começo de conversa, o anime foi ao ar em 1998, ano em que a tecnologia estava em desenvolvimento, em sua forma mais primal e básica.

Far from a genius, but match me against your average Joe, and I could probably outwit him if I tried hard enough. Serial Experiments Lain made me feel like a monkey. But I still really liked it. I only wis…
Read full review on AniList →The starkest memory of lain for me is going to be when lain’s sister broke down, when an out-of-body experience with the twisting reality around her, a malicious information overload broke her into a twisted different husk.

Read full review on AniList →<p align= "justify">Personally, Serial Experiments Lain is more interesting in terms of the concept of existence, metaphysics, hyperreality, and other philosophies than anime as a whole.

Read full review on AniList →My favourite anime, my first attempt at criticism. Welp. So here's the classic play: ‘SE Lain’ could justifiably be called pretentious, and that isn't entirely unfair.
