Watched both seasons right after finding about it just yesterday. It was pretty good
I would have been interested in a season 3
what's it about
>western animation>Creator Craig Silverstein
>>214693410I found it good too>>214693738Hard to explain desu, but its essentially about humans becoming digitalized in a digital world for human evolution. Though it spans over decades.Its a really unique story.Its starts off that a girls dad goes missing, or dies I cant remember then she starts getting contacted by someone who says it is her dad (they digitized him) and it turns into a whole conspiracy and has the glowies in it.Its NOT a japan animation too, even though it kind of looks like anime.Well worth watching.
>>214694153kinda sounds like pic related, or maybe not because lain was a bit hard to follow
>>214694308>lainidk what that is but I read teh premise on wiki and it seems too different, not similar to pantheon.Pantheon has lots of topics as the story expands but its not some exestatial deep thing.Read the premise on the wiki.It basically follows 3 main characters, a girl whose dad has been digitized, a sheltered sci fi whizz autismo who has been raised by the glowies and a jeet tech fag who gets soulkillerd (like they did to jhonny silverhand in cyberpunk 2077)It goes from one story beat to the next, but ultimately the story is about human evolution into a new digitized world. The tech starting out as sectret glowie shit to ending up being worldwide known and people willingly an heroing IRL to become a digital fag.Again, really worth watching.
>>214694308>>214694563I watched both and yes they are similar, pantheon is much more watchable
>>214693738Impregnating underage hapa girls
I liked the begining parts but then it juat turned into capeshit
>>214694308Lain is better and has more artistic integrity. Pantheon has dbz style battles of AI losers in the internet. The later parts reminded me of the last 2 Hyperion books (which were terrible) with how it portrayed its world
>>214694687I’m almost done with book 2 and 3 is coming in the mail today.
>>214694687Lain also stumbles when it adds that villain character into the mix
>>214694613Nah, just regarding color palettes alone Lain is superior. Pantheon is more straight forward though
>>214693738Same as .hack or serial experiments lain but western, toothless, deracinated, and homogenized
>>214694836lain is drivel. something isn't deep because it throws random shit out there.
>>214694872Lain purposely tries to make no sense, fuck that shit.
>>214694873It’s not drivel, it’s a good exploration of the internet and the concepts portrayed there are absolutelly true. Just look at modern 4chan.
>>214693410season 1 is greatseason 2 is a mess>best boy Chanda is demoted from villain to Starscream>many characters established in season 1 are just killed off at random>characters like Caspian's dad just disappear>spends first 7 episodes in filler adventures that lead nowhere>last two episodes are timeskip and are extremely rushed, like they crammed entire season 1 into themI cannot fathom how anyone can defend season 2
>>214694897When does Lain purposefully try to not make sense?
>>214695007The entire time iirc
>>214694645Pretty much.
>>214694993>>last two episodes are timeskip and are extremely rushed, like they crammed entire season 1 into themI think they probably where planning on a 3th season but probably were told it wasnt happening so they forced everything in the last two episodes.
>>214693738Ghost in the machine type story. What happens when we start uploading people in to machines&internet.
>>214694645When it sounds like a shitpost, but it's actually true.
>>214695138Well, who thinks up a story where the clone of steve jobs dickes down a hapa girl?
>>214695078>>214695138How did they get away with a 19 year old impregnating a 15/16 year old?
>>214695138Maddie.... Had a hard life.
>>214695201He busted his nut and then uploaded himself so the cops could not arrest him.
>>214695138What was the point of them having a child?He literally doesn't do anything. He literally shows up in one scene:>"Huh, that's my son?">"Yes, I considered aborting him, but couldn't go through with it"
>>214693410So how far does it go? How many simulations down are they, hundreds, thousands? How bored is maddie in the future that she keeps recreating entire realities full of actual people just to relive that one short romance. How fucking evil do you have to be to give so many people life just to be a background npc character.
>>214695280Something something soulmates.
>>214695138>Gets pregnant the very first time she has sexF E R T I L EERTILE
>>214694993This is the exact same problem Arcane had. One great season, then the next season feels like at least two seasons worth of material crammed into one, and it gets extra messy in the last two episodes.
>>214695038Literal brainlet. A kid comits suicide, and her ghost emails her classmates. This prompts social outcast Lain to get into internet culture. On the the Internet she becomes a really popular tripfag in ways she could only dream of irl. Eventually her personality splits and her online personality starts doing rad shit irl, but her real personality doesn't get any pleasure from this popularity because she is locked away. As Lain loses her grip on the real world, she uncovers secrets about the Internet and her family and the government that lead her to revelations about her birth. Without spoiling the ending, she adapts to her newly remembered identity and dedicates herself to maintaining order in the irl that was created for her.
>>214695387Because arcane season 2 is literally two seasons compressed in to one.
>>214695387Don't remind me of Arcane. I have never been so let down. What could have been.
>>214695280making it feel like Caspian had a win and lived on, even if the son dies. Caspian sacrificed his life to save the human race, dude deserves a son.
>>214695387arcane s1 was one of the greatest of all time personally and i am not in video gaming shitwatched s2 and was so bored and confused the entire time. Dont know what they were thinking
>>214695522>the series turns gay and lame sad msc
Wife
>>214695799Yeah, she was cute. But her older sister is a bitch.
>>214695471more like 5 seasons and bad decisions
they shelved s2 because of the >vaccine that is actually used for badplotline, not some bullshit tax stuffsame with Counterpartboth good shows
>>214693410the ending goes hard, but couldve used more seasons
>>214696680hapas like to go hard
>>214695799>you will never have a qt AI waifu spend decades reconstructing your mind neuron by neuron and falling in love with you in the process
>>214693738Serial Experiments Lain meets Ghost in the Shell
>>214697889She fell in love with caspian? That's more like her dad.
>>214693410>pan the onWhat the fuck is this supposed to mean? God damn ESL zoomers.
Second season was kind of a disappointment. Not bad just not as good as the absolute kino of season 1.
>>214698598weak bait
>>214694662This, I have no idea how someone can say with a straight face that it's better than SEL
>>214693738Brave new world smashed together with snowcrash with a bit of eva and akira
>>2146985980/10 come on man.
>>214698652for one it doesn't make me fall asleep
Thought it was awful.Apart from the dull writing, it has some of the worst voice acting i've ever heard. Not just in terms of performances, which were bad (everyone is mumbling), but the audio recording quality sounds really bad too, which makes bad performances sound even worse.
>>214694308Lain is awful. The only reason people like it on 4chan is because the lead is an under-age """cunny""".>>214695007Its the presentation that's the problem. What's happening isn't hard to follow, it's just that it lingers on shots for ages with annoying buzzing sounds, people stare blankly at each other for 30 seconds before responding and then they talk slow and weird.It's one of those shows that's trying to be """weird"""" just for the sake of being weird.
>>214698061The 2 most over-rated and nonsensical animes of the 90s.
>>214693410What is it with this art style and hapa people?
>>214699537I don't give a shit
I love when shows go complete off the walls, like the series of Evangelion. When it becomes a complete mindfuck. That's why i liked the last two episodes. Other than that, shame about the animation style, i hate it, but it had interesting story aspects and overall it was solid.
>>214699606I hate the fucking coloring
>>214693410is the sex scene good?
>>214693410>le heckin Vox Machina type drawingHard pass
