What was the point of showing AYYLMAOOSS ? literally served

>>159758339
Watch it again

Present dayy

>>159758339
It's called atmosphere. The fact that it made such an impression on you that you remember a "pointless" scene is a testament to its visual strength.

>>159758366
what? the only explanation i have it's it was actually a part of Lain's mainfestation in the real world or they showed them as the entity who implanted the idea of becoming a God in Eiri's mind?

>>159758416
they could have shown Lain naked or a gigantic deformed penis in it

>>159758452
The aliens werent real, they became "real" because people thought they were. In the show it's the consciousness what defines reality.

is ths dragon ball supr?

They wanted to copy X-Files (the whole purpose of this series)

>>159758339
The point was to make me crap my pants, fucking gray ayys crept the shit outta me when I was a kid

It's called a red herring

>>159758339
It was a metaphor for how legend becomes truth.

>>159758366

You see, my dear anon—for I presume you lack the erudition requisite to understanding the presence of the "ayy lmao" (henceforth "A.L.") in Serial Experiments Lain—the answer to your question ("What was the point of showing AYYLMAOOSS ?" [sic.])—a question which is one ensconced in the Great Mystery of Anischerality, that swirling vortex of enigma that circles and circles round its central point like the gyrefalcon, yet unlike that bird of Yeatsian reference, never dives, never swoops to pluck its quarry—the Meaning—from the primeval waters of the unconscious—though it cannot be learned through simple (better, say "mere") cogitation and logic (these two domains being constructs of the Mind Mechanical, and thus bound by the fetters of the flesh—the weakest Aspect of the triumvirate Man, second only, of course, to the Mind—to the Rondo Infernal, rather than that Supernal Inspiration to which all should be audience, if they are not already blinded, not by excess of light, but of shadow, like prisoners shackled to Plato's chair and made to watch the dancing shadows—indeed, not an inelegant metaphor for the consumers of the medium of anime [which amusingly draws its name from the "anima" of old, yet could not be farther from "soul", and thus is called a false pretender to the Lux Sophiae]), may yet, ere the close of the Day of Man in the great churn of the Celestial Gyre (one Day of Man equating to the Great Day spoken of by Scipio Africanus to his nominal heir, Scipio Aemilianus, in the well known Somnium Scipionis, in which time all the Spheres [seven by Scipio's numbering; others say eight or nine] shall return to the Original Order whence they were first moved by the Primum Mobile, the unmoved mover which, from the space beyond space in time beyond time, bids in silence move what be, what was, and what with fatal certainty shall come to pass) to you or to any other who dwells upon the Mysteries (some of which already I have expounded upo

>implying you're smart
Nice ego you got their anon.

>all these different answers
That should make it clear enough, not even the fans know what the fuck it was

>>159765465
Real fans know that anime compliments the game for PS1 since it anime was made just as a part of multimedia project that wasn't even first.

>>159758339
Aliens helped build the Wired or something.

I thought it was just information trash that manifested itself in the real world because people were talking about it.

IIRC the director (same who did Lain if i'm not mistaken) who'd been working on this show have passed away so the production was on hiatus, but later during some panel in 2014 Yoshitoshi ABe confirmed that they started working on it again with the new director. Then again the info is at least 3 years old maybe something changed. Project is called Despera btw.

>>159758339
And you don't seem to understand

>>159769790
The anime is dead. Abe's working on Project D now.

>>159758339
girl with hyperactive imagination reads about them online.
That's pretty much it.

>>159758748
Well, they ended up doing something better i must say

>>159771396
Do you have a sauce on that, not the project D part, the despera being dead part? I couldn't find any info on it's status since the new director announcement in 2014-2015.
