great opening picture, op. i love it and you for posting it. i also love lain.

>>281208441 (OP)
why 14y alt teenagers and little girls are obsessed with this?

>>281208441 (OP)
The animation and music itself is really good.
Apart from that I didn't really like Serial Experiments Lain.
It was better than Evangelion thoughever.

All of the powerline scenes and other weird transition spaces with harsh droning sounds and acid nightmare shadows are some of my favorites things in anime. SEL is a series that makes me jump up and down and shout "Yes, that's what it feels like." The way it treats the slipperiness of information and reality are what interest me, more so than any actual outcome of the narrative. People really seem to get wrapped up in what happened and I just really care how it was depicted. It's a perfect relic that could be a rosetta stone for some future anthropologist studying the late 90s.

Because I liked The Matrix movies and all that late 90s/early 00s psychological sci-fi anime scratched the same itch.

its got a lot of cool philosophical ideas and imagery

I guess the answer to OP is "memes and art"
Makes perfect sense

it was bound to happen. lain is normalfag-core now. your favorite beloved anime from 10+ years ago is next
the only option is to disconnect from the internet entirely and find solace in simpler things that normalfags cant touch with their greasy little terminally online retard fingers

Thanks for reminding me that I haven't played PSX Lain.

I could never resist associating it with Cytherea which I would love to see them "go to" and I was kind of disappointed with the club scenes because of it
Oh well, we're counting down the months to being able to ask an AI to whip it up in a flash

Miku wondering why Lain needed to take the skirt off

You think when Lain grows up she stays the same, becomes curvy, becomes a whale or she a twig?

Reminder most people watch the original release of Lain which is the modern Blu Ray that changes the colors, always stick to the original PioneerGeneon release that was on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD.
Here's how the colors should look.
