Is Serial Experiments Lain literally "Reddit: The Anime"

not really. Why would you think this

>>39432903
No, it's transhumanism before the internet

>>39432903
whats with the recent trend of christcucks in this board labeling everything slightly evoking atheism as "reddit"?
Honestly, if you believe there is a god and are on this board you are either retarded or just think that God is evil.
Lain was discussed on /a/ before reddit even existed, and Rick & Morty nihilism is precisely on 4chan's vibe, you fucking autist kike worshippers.

No. Lain isn't praised as the best thing ever. Not even Neon Evangelion Genesis is liked by normies.

>>39432903
no. it was around before you were even born

>>39432974
>Rick & Morty nihilism is precisely on 4chan's vibe
R&M is literally /b/: the cartoon.

>>39432974
>Rick & Morty nihilism is precisely on 4chan's vibe
jesus christ how fucking old are you?

>>39433005
older than you, probably. You are just pretending to be so mature while being a 20-something.

>>39432903
no, that would be JoJo.

>>39433027
uh huh. what about rick and morty is remotely funny? where did you find out this show even existed and when did you start watching it?

I don't browse the anime subs, but atheism really isn't what it used to be on reddit. Everyone jokes about the fedora tippers even if most of us are atheists.

>>39433059
a friend of mine or my brother i don't remember.
Not even american so idk if normies there like it (here is not a big thing) but honestly if your critera for liking something is "hurr normies like it" your pretty retarded.
Also why do you hate it other than because /tv/ says it? Meanwhile these faggots have like 5 threads of GoT, wich is the real Reddit show.

>>39433059
come on anon the main character got transformed into a fucking pickle! LOL!!

>>39433123
I don't even visit /tv/. You're just an underaged faggot with an underaged sense of humor

>>39433143
care to tell your age?
>>39433132
hated that episode, but judging the whole show for it its a bit autistic

Why do people hate Rick & Morty here? Its an original and funny show, the vocal fanbase on the internet just sucks dick. No reason to hate the show for it.

>>39433167
>care to tell your age?
I asked first lol

>>39433195
you are the one thinking it's relevant and a big factor, and i'm pretty sure that i'm older anyway.

>>39433224
then give your age

Lain is Lain. It's psychological horror that can be interpreted in different ways but to write it off as reddit is fucking stupid

>>39432903
I found some normie anime very agreeable to watch
Take the Ghost in the Shell franchise for example
See beyond the normiedom, anon, and you'll reach the greatest robotic heights

Not the guy you're talking to, but I find it pretty funny because it's middle school tier arguing.

>>39433592

In a sense that it's shallow, edgy and pretentious? Yes. But what anime isn't.

Lain speaks the truth

>>39433570
Sorry to hear about your mental retardation but this anon >>39433005 was the first one to ask about age, not me.
I give 2 shits about it and just argued that nihilism doesn't make a series "reddit", since /b/ has basically been nihilism: the board since 2007. So in any case R&M is a /b/ show.
But again some christfags are trying to conflate atheism with Reddit. Probably a raid from /pol/ who knows.

>>39433607
Yeah, it's a pretty common thing if you're twelve.

let me guess, K-ON is kino, right?
Also you forgot Berserk.

>>39432903
No but I admit I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I think it is because lain is basically not a human and I couldn't relate to her at all. She wasn't like a robot on here either she was literally inhuman.

It's a bit abstract but it's not bad. A lot of the themes are pretty easy to pick up on if you're paying attention.

Slice of life moe and harem shows are robot tier because they ease the pain of living. Somehow reddit always hates them though. Eromanga was a fucking masterpiece.

explain lain

>>39434684
The ayy lmaos make anime real and hijack shotas to be anal probed and convert them into cute traps. Lain doesn't like traps so she splits her personality so she can hang out with her friends while her other half kicks alien butt. The crows are the aliens spies.

>>39434646
>harem
making us feel affection for girls who are just going to lust after the protagonist and mainly be drawn having sex with him isn't something I see as beneficial in any way. Moe without any guys around is what's good.

>>39434829
>not self-inserting as the protagonist
it isn't supposed to be NTR you know
also what's with these captchas? "select woodpeckers" when there are no woodpeckers, just all kinds of other birds.

It is still shit. No self-insert protagonist. No moe.

While Rick and Morty just burps into the spectator's face and says "lmao xD no god for you", Serial Experiments Lain is extremely dense and creates a whole new world in which God is nothing but a digital invention of man.
One makes you eat shit and laugh about it, the second one makes you think about the world that surrounds you.

I really like lain but just for its aesthetic. in every other sense it kinda sucks. the true patrician realizes that Princess Kaguya is objectively the greatest work of art ever created

I like Lain because I like tragedy.
It's also very comfy.
Additionaly I sincerly believe that reality should be abandoned in favour of fiction, 2D/Virtual 3D and any other form of digital entertainment/communication, so the setting fits my mood.
