All I think is that it's one of the most failed anime on a complex subject, what are you thoughts /a ?
Really good but a lackluster ending like most animes.
It's shit.
Lain is a trap.

Three episodes left for me but it seems like complete non-sense for me
>>159584564
There's multiple layers and shit like a lot of the "intelligent" animes have.

You guys don't seem to understand.
>>159584702
Yup indeed, but imo there is a lack of connections between layers which made this anime really weird
>>159584772
God damnit, you made me laugh.
>>159584267
Like most Chiaki Konaka stuff. it has a great build up and sense of mystery but the ending doesn't really completely deliver.
It's good and worth watching just because it's so different and weird. it probably won't blow your mind watching it now like it did for people in the 90's. was very late 90's in its fears and predictions about how the internet would change culture

>There's multiple layers and shit
Yeah, at least 13.

Dunno but this thread is going to make me finally watch it.
>>159585203
Oooh boy you got me

apparently, you can find pleasure in suffering.
>>159584267
all this show did was make me mad because it was all about muh deep story that i didnt understand
It's fucking snoozefest, which is a shame since it has interesting subject and good visuals and music.

I feel like I'm too retarded for it. I watched the first three episodes, understood nothing and didn't feel any desire to watch further.
>>159584564
Wasn't the anime intended NOT to be understood by non-Japanese?
>>159584267
I could barely make sense of it and the message it was telling until the end, but I loved the atmosphere of it all, especially the text and audio during the title card that reminds you of captcha.
>>159589269
It's impossible to understand all this subtext on the first go unless you're some kind of freak. The real reason people like Lain is because of the eerie atmosphere, it's so weird that it becomes really addictive and you can't stop watching.
>>159584267
I watched it two times. The first time, it didn't capture me and it took me a few weeks to finally finish it. The second time though, I watched it in like 4 days recently and I really enjoyed it. I think its one of those animes that gets a lot better the second time you watch it.
It contains high impact sexual violence
