I knew about this anime through it's reputation of being a masterpiece. I was excited to watch this, and I finally did. I knew it was going to be surreal and existential but I had no idea just how nonsensical it would be.

It's like if the final two episodes of Evangelion was an entire anime. Does anyone know what the point was. Does Lain exist? Is she God? Did it all take place inside the wired? Was any of it even real?

it's very easy to understand if you pay attention and don't watch it on a second monitor while gaming

This is probably why zoomers hate lain
>>
>>281858947
they just need to have a youtuber explain it and it will be massively popular
>>
The fuck are you retards talking about?
Lain is massively popular with zoomers whether they understand it or not.

>Does anyone know what the point was.
Whole point of lain is about the flow of switching between threads of thoughts. To think it has le deep meaning one must be a duckling or <100 anime newbie.

why did Lain's writers vehemently deny that they took any inspo from Evangelion to the point of saying that none of them saw it
>>
Ever since zoomers touched Lain, I never watched it again.
>>
>>281865334
sounds like maybe you never liked thing but were in the previous generation of peer pressure just like them.
>>
>>281858464
Lain's point is to filter out tourists and speedwatchers.
>>
>>281858464
Was basically about the internet and real life becoming synonymous to the point it was indistinguishable from each other.

Lain had three separate personalities, there was a subplot with the Knights who were a group of leet haxors who Lain exposed so they off'ed themselves and in the end despite being a god of the wired the anime points out how her relationship with her physical real body with Arisu was the most important thing and so she wipes everyones memory of her other personality exposing her true feelings about wanting to rail her teacher from everyone including her own existence.

And there's a lot of stuff about how a Eiri's research team used an internet protocol to connect of all humanity to the internet subconsciously with schumann resonance.

This is all I could remember off hand. Conceptually very interesting. I rewatched with my sister recently and she pointed out the Knights logo which clearly implied how they fried Lain's sisters brain.

What the fuck? Is that real?

a cope as old as time

because only a zoomer would think surrealism was invented by Evangelion.
