Now some may argue that Lain is completely plot driven, but to each his own. What little plot Lain does have, the show works with it fabulously. Lain however doesn’t need worry about plot and story in the same sense as other anime, but instead relies on the atmosphere and the characters to tell the story.
Story: Given that Lain’s story progression is very disjointed, if the execution were to be even off by the slightest, the show would have been ridden with plot holes. With that said it's time to get on with the review. The show doesn’t just provideĮntertainment it provides insight, and profound views and beliefs about technology and the role it plays in society. Serial Experiments Lain pushes the envelope of what the perceived notion of what can be done with television as a medium. Serial Experiments Lain falls in the latter category and for this reason Serial Experiments Lain stands out as a true classic. There are anime that simply entertain for the sake of enjoyment, and there are anime that stretches the boundary of human imagination. Above all, there are two standards I hold true for anime. Introduction: I find myself typing this review thinking more about the conceptualization of existence, than the anime itself. Review for Serial Experiments Lain by John Kim In closing one world and opening another, only Lain will realize the significance of their presence.
#WATCH SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN SUBBED SERIES#
Konaka, whose other works include Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain is a psychological avant-garde mystery series that follows Lain as she makes crucial choices that will affect both the real world and the Wired. With the boundaries between reality and cyberspace rapidly blurring, Lain is plunged into more surreal and bizarre events where identity, consciousness, and perception are concepts that take on new meanings. Strange men called the Men in Black begin to appear wherever she goes, asking her questions and somehow knowing more about her than even she herself knows. Lain's life is turned upside down as she begins to encounter cryptic mysteries one after another. Lain has neither the desire nor the experience to handle even basic technology yet, when the technophobe opens the email, it leads her straight into the Wired, a virtual world of communication networks similar to what we know as the internet. Here's an embed of the first episode subbed.Lain Iwakura, an awkward and introverted fourteen-year-old, is one of the many girls from her school to receive a disturbing email from her classmate Chisa Yomoda-the very same Chisa who recently committed suicide.

On the dub side, we have one interesting connection: Lain herself is voiced by Bridget Hoffman. The character Alice in Lain is voiced by Yoko Asada, who voiced Juri Katou in Tamers, which some might see as odd when you consider there is not only a girl named Alice in Tamers, but a girl with the name of Juri Katou in Lain. there is only really one major one on the Japanese side, and it's a bit interesting. Those who liked his work in Tamers but aren't familiar with his other work will likely be interested to see what he wrote when others are in charge of the project and he doesn't have to give any thought to it being kid friendly.Īs for Digimon connections minus Konaka. One thing that will be of interest to Digimon fans is Chiaka Konaka wrote this prior to Tamers and you'll recognize a few familiar names, and even a few themes that while not 100% a match for what he did with Tamers, will at least seem recognizable. I picked this one despite me not having seen it because it's a bit different than much of what I've chosen thus far (we've done a few dark things like Hellsing Ultimate, but those are also purposely ludicrous and crazy, while this is a bit more personal, etc.) most of that is an understatement, but I don't want to spoil it.) The series begins with a suicide and goes on to comment on people and technology (well. It's supposed to be very good, the mood and general plot just never struck me as something I wanted to see. Honestly, I haven't seen Lain even though I know the plot. I'd assume heavy drama and depressing plot, violence and ecchi perhaps, who knows! As for content warnings, I can't say as I haven't seen this one.
