About to watch this for first time.
What am I in for?

A very refreshing power nap

>>280159891 (OP)
Wonderful schizo babble

you should watch it late at night right before you go to sleep for the best experience

>>280159891 (OP)
Chiaki is Japanese David Lynch.

A good show. Hopefully it clicks with you.

Let's all not watch Lain's show because it's boring as shit

>>280160011
I tried to do that the first time and just fell sleep.

>>280159891 (OP)
A shame, you seemed a honest man.

>>280159891 (OP)
Idk I watched 2 episodes and it was kinda boring.
Love the onesie lain wears though.

>>280160594
>can't get the image to stay still

Let us know what you think so far OP, if the thread is still up after you've watched some.

Duvet is a great song.

>>280159891 (OP)
A cute girl and a little bit of fanservice of her

>>280164843
I heard it got viral on TikTok.

>>280164934
Song's 3 minutes longs, tiktokfags don't have enough attention span for it.

>>280164984
I am gooning, I am cumming, I am fapping, help me to breed

>>280164984
I'm just looking into it now, apparently it was a sped up version of the song that got popular. https://youtu.be/dlawQ1FkOsQ?si=CHUOfyhCQc38LyNF

Is there any other show like Lain?

>>280164172
It's obviously bullshit that normalfags post on Instagram or whatever they use these days.

>>280164984
Yeah, but the chorus is like 15 seconds long.

>>280159891 (OP)
No fair! I'm rewatching Lain for the first time and was going to make a thread! Anyway, Lain a cute
>>280164843
I listen to it all the time

>>280159891 (OP)
Present day.
Present time.

Still applicable...maybe more so.

>>280164843
It's weird how a british 90's rock group's song was used as an intro, until you realize two of the band members are half japanese and had made their record label based in japan.

>>280165718
Their singer is cute.

>>280159891 (OP)
Present day...Present Time...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Slutty body

>>280167206
Imagine if someone got Lain addicted to DND instead, the world would become isekai overnight.

Something that will bore you out of your mind
Or one of the best anime you've ever seen

>>280159891 (OP)
It's a good show. It's not life changing or anything, but it's good. You might need to watch it twice to understand some of it.

>>280159891 (OP)
Yuri.

>>280160618
I'm rewatching and the whole "who are you" aspect is kinda fucking with me. Lately I've been increasingly uncertain as to who the real me is. I've got a horrible memory and can barely remember my childhood, and I'm starting to become uncertain if any of it even happened. I actually might be going insane

>>280169183
You're not going insane, but you do need to talk to a therapist.

>>280169183
Weird take. Lain has an identity crisis because she is both all of humanity and also an individual.
You as far as I'm aware, are not a composite of the noosphere.

>>280169243
>you do need to talk to a therapist.
Yeah, I really should. But I've gotta finish my Lain rewatch first
>>280169262
I wish I could be part of the internet like Lain is. It'd beat the pants off being real

God I need to scoop her up in a big hug and tell her that I love her and she's the real her

>>280160594
why is this shit not moving?

>>280159891 (OP)
Overrated drivel, disgusting slut sister, boring dialogue, pseudo intellectual babble, and a good opening.

>>280169332
Lain isn't a part of the internet, she makes the internet part of reality.

It's a commentary about the age of information, that predicted the forever online and hypersocialization of the internet.
Lain molds reality like the internet, by engaging with it, and this made Eri and the Knights "gods", because suddenly reality functioned like something they understand, the Wired.

But Lain realized reality doesn't need to be the wired, there is more to life, and hackers don't deserve to be gods because they aren't, they're exploiters no different than a corrupt politician.

>>280159891 (OP)
enjoy having your insomnia cured

>its a commentary on-
No, it isn't. The writer explicitely said it had no set meaning

>>280159891 (OP)
dont read this thread
just binge the whole show and then come back

>>280162912
>it's boring
this might be more your speed

>>280168796
>It's not life changing or anything,
it is actually
it makes you realize that most media you have watched and liked was actually shit.

>>280159974
indeed

did you know lain is sam hyde's favorite anime?

She's so cute. I want to come home while she's in the middle of a depressive episode and then hug her tightly while telling her I love her

>>280159891 (OP)
watch actually deep shows from yuasa

>>280159891 (OP)
Deus Ex (2000)

You should play the shitty game first

>>280170472
Never trust anything a writer/director says
That's a golden rule, only redditors use that as an argument

>>280171572
um akschually reddit is both the media literacy and death of the author crowd

>>280169183
>>280169332
>But I've gotta finish my Lain rewatch first
better play the lain game, bro. "who am i" theme is better explored in the game.
also, lain literally has therapy sessions there

>>280160011
It's late at night and i'm about to go to sleep. Will your advice give me nightmares?

>>280170472
>>280171572
the writer never said that

>>280171554
ain't as deep as the anime

>>280159891 (OP)
A schizo gemerald, and if you are of the same mental type luckily some disassociation that will cause a cascade of synchronicities in the real world and destroy the illusion of material reality.

>>280159891 (OP)
it's pure nonsense. there's a lil alien that shows up, no one knows why. just enjoy the vibes and then when you're done, you'll be able to say you watched it. it offers absolutely nothing more than that.

>>280159891 (OP)
>What am I in for?
Serious smugness.

>>280171322
Begone, Solo Leveling shill

>>280159891 (OP)
You will understand 4chan better. Pretty much everyone here is using their wired personality.

>>280170472
Lain is still an avatar of the human perception, not the internet.
People tend to make that mistake a lot.
