Oh great, last thing we needed was more zoomers getting into Lain.

What does it say about the industry when you constantly need to bring back old shit from it's grave instead of creating new shit?

if it's not cropped to portrait edited down to shorts form with 1 word subtitled per second then it wouldn't hold their interest

The new line of zoids model kits is cool at least. Smaller than HMM but cheaper and with modern engineering

Lain got revived before Despera lmao.

>>290064624
The anime needed this too.

Big fans of Lain will finally be able to watch the series for the first time
>>
This is good news. Lain has been a series whos’ relevance and prescience in the information era cannot be understated. Also it’s a goddamn masterpiece. Very happy about this.
>>
>>290068080
This. It's the Earthbound of anime.
>>
>>290068591
The Epstein files getting released felt like when Lain doxxed the knights
And other stuff like Fauci getting arrested
>>
>>290068591
>prescience
It's not particularly prescient and its relevance comes from its expert fusion of the ennui of late 90s Japan with existentialist themes in cyberpunk literature developed over the course of the 80s already. Blade Runner sets the target on crises of identity and artificiality, and a few years later you get Neuromancer with a bio-mental navigable cyberspace and a plot to create a data god.
>>
>>290063554
It was Texhnolyze that ABe didn't get paid for
>>
>>290062971
Lain's such a solitary and surreal experience. I don't know how it would be in a theater full of other people who've absorbed Lain through secondary meme osmosis and video essays that lay the whole thing out bare instead of just watching it themselves.

"let's all love lain" is an official catchphrase? I thought that line came from the fansub?

nta, agree , most of the themes were already explored in kdicks gibson and its derivatives like Oshis GITS, but I think that what Lain got perfect is the personal sense of allieniation, like getting lost in a forest of parafernalia and schizo realities, not fundamentally different of what we have here.
Also cute girl makes it more memorable even if shallow. Cyberspace is the only thing I remember from neuromancer, and cool glasses

ABe and Konaka are reunited in a con in Spain this September, so it's possible we'll get an announcement

as if zoomers coudl witthstand the slow burn that si Lain they will fall asleep
>>
>>290064003
I don't want more subhumans in my fandom, thanks. It's already bad enough with all the trannies wanting to be Lain instead of wanting to fuck her.

I really love Hamasaki but his style is very different from what I've seen from what Nakamura directed

Did TikTok zoomers actually revive this anime because of the internet/psychological stuff or for purely "aesthetic" reasons?

>>
>>290084513
Do you think the themes of sociology and the internet are not presented primarily through aesthetics in the show? The complaints about zoomers getting into anime always come from people who hate anime and will always take the position of finding a reason to shame others for actually getting into anime. Gatekeeping was never an otaku value, which is why there are so many anime directly about spreading the hobbyist passion.

I just don't think they get into the anime they post about.

I'll be honest Anon
Neuromancer isn't good.
It's a boring book.
>>
>>290091833
I agree, but you don't have to be good to be groundbreaking.

>>290091833
not really

Friendly reminder that every young person on the planet right now, especially (you), is like this now, but because they can't see the wires they think they're okay.

I'm wireless doe

>>290063008
To be fair, Lain was designed to people in their early teens. It's only /a/ that is like "is this the most complicated anime ever made that needs to be watched by adults only"?
>>
>>290094330
That's the problem. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there, devouring your soul.
>>
>>290087439
Lain learning cable management would be a good episode for a different type of anime.
>>
>>290093026
Wrong, I fucking hate wireless. My shit is covered in wires. How's that factor into your prescience, huh? Not so smart now, are you?

Does your room look like Lain's too?

Lain is not just a hint you bring back, it’s one of the most singular visions anime has ever produced.
