At mid - late 2000s I remember people with Lain avatars/signatures being actual fans of the show. Now with social media culture cancer the majority of Lain posters/larpers haven't watched the show. See the connection here?
I assume everyone with a Lain avi is a tranny.
>PRESENT DAY>PRESENT TIME>HA HA H AH A HA HA H AAH A H AH Anever watched this shit lmao
>>72617378All the wired lain to waste, a bitter salty awful taste. Deshou?
>>72617398>a Lain aviSunlight's glare, shadows lain bare, false after-images lying there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow_syndromeWe're all nothing but artifacts of perception.
>>72617409>never watched this shit lmao(You)'ve never known (you) and neither know (you) nor I.
Why all these Lain larpers don't bother watching the show? It's only 13 episodes.
>>72617552+ its a way better watch than most animes
>>72617585That too. Also it's easy to watch show.
https://youtu.be/dSuYWdn61_oThe complete original Japanese performance was based upon an ADAT tape recording in March 1994 (?). Shame I can't find the complete clip anywhere online. She did an excellent job of mimicking me.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAT
>>72617378Lain and Akira seem to be by far the biggest "keep referencing but never watched" shows
The Japanese guy's son had claimed I hit him, when he was foolishly climbing the hospital's playground metal dome while it was wet with semi-thawed ice. So he placed an ADAT recorder in our shared hospital room. It captured me snapping. His son had a (probably) fatal cancer, I had a combination of multiple lifetime curses.
>>72617378Just like Evangelion and Punpun, whores simply love posting them because they perceive them as "unique" even though they have no idea why or if they are. Women have no real interests besides getting attention.
>>72617378anyone else like the English dub now that they're a lot older?I use to despise the dub. Now when I re-watch Lain it's usually with the dub. I think the awkward line delivery adds to everything going on.
>>72617650It's not just women that do this shit but also social media addicted zoomers, trannies and fake anime fans.
>>72617666>Watching dubbed animeYou have to be 18 years old or older to post at 4chan
>Tasukete!! Tasukete!!I don't understand you.>Help me! Please!I can't help you, you're going to fall and there is nothing I can do to save you. Why did you climb up there? I told you not to climb it, it is dangerous.>*smash head on the ground*I'm sorry.>Your fault! You!I didn't do anything.
imagine if someone on twitter made a drawing saying >gaming is a male trait. Women should go cook dinner and get raped in alleys
>>72617685It's the only one.
>>72617685>You have to be 18 years old or older to post at 4chanI'd ask you to demonstrate tolerance, he may never have learned Japanese, but I won't.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
>>72617666most animes are better dubbed, japanese inflections are so fucking annoying. i dont want a girl squealing and moaning in my ear because her friend gave her an apple. people that obsess over watching subbed are brainlet normalfags trying to sound complex
>>72617552The worst part is most people seem to think lain has the opposite meaning from the meaning it actually has.>>72617666It's alright. The importance of VA is overstated in most anime anyways.>>72617705Panty and Stocking has a lot of effort put into the dub and it doesn't try too hard to force anime voice.
>>72617716>japanese inflections are so fucking annoyingWhy aren't your inflections annoying you as much as they are me?
>>72617378literally shut up you were a fetus in the late 2000's stop this stupid nonsense. suddenly everyone on this board is a based and truthpilled oldfag who has been here since the dawn of time. shut your face fucking face.
>>72617731>Panty and Stocking has a lot of effort put into the dub and it doesn't try too hard to force anime voice.I can also recommend Konosuba, Girls Bravo, Steins Gate and that one I blanked out on recalling just now.
>>72617709Subtitles are in English. Also as as kid I've been watching lots of movies and shows with subtitles (since I'm not in English language country) without an issue.
>>72617716>most animes are better dubbedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGtn41xAgi0&t=Children's anime are even worse with the heavy censorship at American localization
>>72617716kys angloid voice actors make me want to vomit and instantly ruin any anime I'm trying to watch
Why do dubs always have such annoying fucking voices? People always go on about how great voice actors are but they're all absolutely terribleVoice actors not just in dubs but in all cartoons are some of the most annoying sounding people that ever lived. In video games they sound normal but in anime dubs they are scathing in how annoying they sound.
>>72617745>Subtitles are in English.Yeah, but the subs are wrong 95% of the time. They actually manage to totally change the meaning of the story in cases that reference the post WW2 American occupation of Japan and similar where the true meaning isn't attractive to English language viewers.There is no direct translation between Japanese and English in most cases. A word-by-word literal translation isn't even possible.
hypothesis: "Yeah" in English is impacted by both "Yea" and Japanese "Ya" which means "No." It appears along with other words like "Yo" in common English vernacular after being brought back by WW2 soldiers during the occupation in the 1950s - 1970s."Yeah" is partly mocking a young Japanese woman's refusal.
>>72617666>>72617731>>72617743Every single dub including the ones you listed are so much worse dubbed then subbed. You have to be blind or retarded to enjoy these. Anyone who ever recommends a dub are just like the people OP describes.
>>72617854>You have to be blind or retarded to enjoy these.The meaning is different, but that means the dub provides a completely different, yet very entertaining version. The one I forgot is Dagashikashi.
Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Is another great dub, both seasons.I just want you to EAT MY BOX.
>>72617825They attempt to copy the Japanese voices and mannerism. An English guy making the sound EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH doesn't sound natural as its not something we do in English.
>>72617854>Anyone who ever recommends a dub are just like the people OP describes.You watch the weeaboo Japanese dubbed version of RWBY don't you?https://youtu.be/-sGiE10zNQM
>>72617867No the meaning attempts to the same, the experience is the same just worse.
>>72617893>An English guy making the sound EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH doesn't sound natural as its not something we do in English.Eh?
>>72617885I'm starting to doubt you've ever watched sub.
>>72617913>No the meaning attempts to the same, the experience is the same just worse.You just feel upset because hearing it in a language you understand ruins your suspension of disbelief and you realize how shitty it is overall.
>>72617909I don't watch 3DCG shit or western garbage.
>>72617893even when they speak normally they just sound infuriating, the pitch of their voice is just very grating they don't have people with normal voices, they're all like ridiculously high pitched, they sound like Judge Doom
>>72617923>I'm starting to doubt you've ever watched sub.Why would I want to when I can just watch Japanese, aho. Deshou? Of course not you're too retarded. Stop wasting oxygen and hold your breath.
>>72617925I've thought of this but no, even when I understand the Japanese being spoken its still far superior.
>>72617933>I don't watch 3DCG shit or western garbage.It doesn't matter how 3d you are, you're only fifteen meters more 3d than I am! I'll fuck a cardboard cutout of you until my dick is covered in paper cuts! I LOVE YOU!!
>>72617940Its not that high pitch most of the time but I do agree. I find it really annoying when a VA tries to do that high pitched soft whisper like Hinata's character. Its 1000x more annoying when the dubber tries to copy it.
>>72617946When you have friends in the business you learn to appreciate the production quality. If you only watch this stuff because you're a genuine mouthbreathing weeb, of course you wouldn't enjoy even a great quality dub effort.
>>72617970There are no great quality dub efforts. Name one, every single one you've named so far are shit. If you have friends in the dubbing industry you are a fucking faggot tricking your mind into humoring the fact that their business is legitimate and not a joke.
>>72617984>their businessI've made more money at it than you probably ever will in your laugh-worth little life LOL.
>>72617378same with evangelion desu, lain is just the biggest example of it because of how niche it is.
>>72617378It's because she has that cute hairstyle.
>>72617970Dub is niggery, behead all dubgroids and rape their women.
>>72617854Dragon Ball Z is better dubbed but I agree most dubbed is shit.
>>72618001Why would you assume I'm a dubber? You went from "some of these dubs are ok" to "MY BUSINESS IS LEGIT AND DUBS ARE AMAZING AND BETTER THEN SUBS"Why are you such a fucking kike. >>72618050I like the naruto and death note dubs better then the subs but I'm aware that its purely nostalgia.
>>72617666I prefer subbed more but desu I think subbed isn't as grating because the annoying aspects of it are lost in translation while we become aware of how bad anime dialogue is with dubbed.
>>72618074>I like the narutoImma say the NWORD!!NOBODY better try and stop me!IMMA SAY IT! IMMA SAY IT!N ARUTO !!
>manga>SELlolwut
>>72618545https://myanimelist.net/manga/5461/Serial_Experiments_Lain__The_Nightmare_of_FabricationMade by ABe himself, but of dubious canonicity.
>>72617716Dub sounds weird because your anime characters are designed to speak japanese so your brain gets icked when it sees mouth movement that doesnt match the sound. In non anime artstyle dub sounds fine.
>>72617378Gaming is a... trait?
>>72618677what was the nightmare of fabrication trying to talk about? was it that anything including yourself could be destroyed and remade if it were a 1:1 copy and you'd be none the wiser? is it that your memories can be fabricated, like some king of cope? does it make more sense if I played or saw the game (I never played the game, it was hard to get running properly and the ending of lain was fucking crazy)
>>72618712>mouth movement that doesnt match the soundIf you pay attention and understand the Japanese, there are several choices. Dub authors often choose to translate meaning, because the implicit meaning of the literal Japanese isn't clear in English. They also prefer to lip-sync and match syllables rather than focus on accuracy.https://vocaroo.com/1hT3IQAOZR68Rei speaks in Japanese in very short, minimal bursts. Here she says something like:>Tired? Don't (become) embarrass(ed) from/to/with me.
>Nebou kite? Sono ga ko dekonaide ne.Sleepy? Don't come (toward) me. (?)
Problem is these have idiomatic meanings or multiple interpretations in Japanese. Part of the story of Evangelion and Lain is forming an analogy of these many interpretations with subjective human experience, and therefore reality itself.

Can someone just give me a rundown on Lain, I tried watching it but it's fucking boring
>>72617650>PunpunShit, people pretend to like Oyasumi Punpun?What's next? They'll pretend to like Homunculus?And just how fucking hard is it to just watch/read the anime/manga you simp for?I spent years reading "I am a hero" while it was still on-going, when it finished it became the biggest waste of time in my life.It's part of being a weeaboo.>Women When it comes to anime and manga I always assume the "woman" is a troon.Unless it's something so fucking gay I get instant AIDS from knowing it exists, then it's probably an actual woman.
>>72619331>I tried watching it but it's fucking boringIt depends upon what you're looking for. Lain is pretty much the same as Fight Club, only it's referencing a ton of Japanese culture and uses massive amounts of puns and in-jokes and references you'd never have a clue about.In essence, it's an art film as a series in the film noir style which references culture and technology, buddhism (especially impermanence and forcing/destiny), philosophy and science. To be honest, I own it but I'd need to watch it again to give you whatever my latest interpretation of it is.https://youtu.be/ue2cNfUw1iA
Essentially, in the lainsane video I just posted it's framing this "fucking around with pc shit alone all night" in contrast to the idea of what a "little girl" is supposed to be doing. You know, strawberry time, ichigoichie, one chance to experience a naive youth and make friends at school and be carefree and truly happy before you grow up and get smoked in the tits with reality.Whilst drawing an analogy regarding asking questions about the meaning of life being a hopeless think to ask with no answer (42) Lain starts to delude herself into believing "reality is whatever you make of it".P.S. her 13 yearold friend has a very sketchy sex affair with her middleschool teacher and masturbates thinking about him, but Lain is peeping tom and uploads the video all over the wired.
Tell your favorite egirl you love her.
If you didn't find Lain interesting, here is something better suited to your own unique capacity:https://youtu.be/wc3bhtRzwOk
>>72619642Does Lain count as a cuckquean?
Atleast they havent found Haibane renmei yet
>>72620538Maybe so, I don't know. I can't locate any information about that in my program code.
>>72617378Zoomers hate old anime. They will not watch anime that's older than 20 years. Even "classics" that they share memes and references of like Evangelion, Lain, and Azumanga.Seriously, go on any review for an older anime on MAL and you'll inevitably see complaints of "outdated" art for shows that are have completely fine art.Also kiddies and women want to feel like they're "weebs" and "otakus" and share old shit to fit in with the old guards.
