Serial Experiments Lain

[Utsumo]

Anyone seen anything of it? It's one of the most intriguing things I've seen and I'm only on episode 2. It's pretty sinister as well, and psychedelic.
I recommend it judging by what I've seen.

I'm surprised the only other thread about this wasn't frequented since 2005 :huh

I saw it earlier this year. Really one of my favourite series. From nf sets to wallpapers, I used quite a lot of lain art for myself.

Heck I collected most better lain art there is.

Yeah I love disturbing series like Lain. If you enjoy the whole thing I'd suggest giving Boogiepop Phantom a try as well. It's not really anything like it but it just gives you the same creepy vibes and has the same overall feel to it.

my head is still hurting from watching it i have to watch the last 3 episodes still but its still enjoyable

[chaosas]

Oh yes, it was long ago that I watched it but it's great.

[Mr-Kory]

i like the background music and effects
and the sounds of the power lines
but i dont like the shadows they freak me out

[Scum]

A very memorable, albeit very weird series.

Lain owns.

A friend of mine gave me the DVD's a couple years ago, I still haven't put aside time to watch past the third episode. I really like the art.

Yeah Lain is a great anime. Too bad it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

I think it's mainly due to it's age. 1998 wasn't a time when Anime was big in europe or the US.

And it's not a mainstream series either.

Lain looks like the girl from Texnolyze, or some Range Murata H-art.
I had this series downloaded for quite some time now, but never watched it.
*goes off to watch it.*

That might be becuse it's the same artist that did Texhnolyze that also did Lain. :) (Yoshitoshi ABe)

If you are talking about Ran I dont think see looks "that" much like Lain but yes I can se some similarities. I think that Oniishi's secretary really looks like a grown up Lain though. :P

Good anime, or greatest anime?

[ZigZag]

One of the best anime's i've seen :)

[~Shin~]

I liked the presentation but I barely understood what the hell was going on.

I'll probably re-watch it one of these days to pick up on everything I missed.

[TigerTwista]

Honestly I think thats a series people need to take another relook into truthfully, I thought the series was pretty nice, but yea even though its a old one I still thought it was cool
