oh my transcore 2 of the most overrated boring shows ever

Why do schizos love this anime?

>>6148719
it makes no sense and is just a nonstop stream of vague symbolism so they can appropriate it for their own schizo ideas.

Creator wanted to make grand philosophical piece, neither east nor west would see the same way, He intended it to be spiritual. Came from a schizo to start. You can check him out, he went down the vax rabbit hole and generally talks now like the guy on the bus with the empty seats around him, if memory serves

His idea might have worked, but he forgot westoids been devouring chink cartoons n shiet for 100 years bro. Buddhist themes, non-dualism not novel no more. And to cap it off he mixes some christlike stuff in there too, some gnosticism.

People spread Land's Meltdown everywhere, mainstream internalized that surveillance capital, platform tech, human attention harvesting was the silent apocalypse, etc. Pandemic lockdowns and then all the self-insert mento iwwness fuckwits memed it too hard. Worshippers took it too far. That was the cultural moment.

I just wanted to chill with lainons in a cozy corner and sign off with some love lain shit. I came in like I came to /b/ in '07-08. Late to the party and probably to blame for everything.

I gotta tell you though, great watch for me at the time. Personal crisis, overwork, living in a home with a psychotic housemate OD'ing or trying to an hero periodically. Dropping too much acid trying to cope. The plot doesn't matter as much as the vibes, also a strong criticism.

Watch it when depressed, deconstructing Meltdown word for word, and between episodes of mashing your 5-HT2a buttons to the point you don't think you're the same person anymore and you'll find it very profound too.

Otherwise an OK show you will not get anyone to watch, except tranners, underage girl self-inserts, schizos, and pseuds (me).
Just read meltdown and read up on either buddhism, daoism, advaita vedanta, or some syncretic combo like the Alan Watts lecture series in audio.
Maybe watch rats in a cage get hopelessly addicted to heroin to the point of death.

Boom, instant lainposter energy but without the aesthetics.

What in the g-ddamn are you talking about

>>6159119
Wall of text but not complicated dude. Eastern religions 101.

Real and unreal, finding the distinction is empty, then going back because it suits you.
Protag becomes physically one with the universe, permeates all things (non-dualism).

The wired is the internet and an instrument of addiction, obsession consuming the planet/human's minds, resources. More than that it's a literary device for the line between mind/matter, life/death, godhood / personal identity.
Lain breaks the wall, discovers it's no way to live, rebuilds it to leave life as it.
Dharmic image of enlightenment, return as a bodhisattva.

Christianity: Lain retreats from omnipotence, hides from world. Negating personhood, worldly existence to keep life as it is. Resting with her father (imagined) in her mental exile, she goes to tears when he states that she loves them, the world. Touching, sure, but evoking Christ purposefully. Sacrificed to restore the world.

Gnosticism: character "God" is the demiurge. He assumes creator is different from created. He's just a cruel force ruling the world for vanity. Lain rejects his divinity, stating he himself is caused, not a first mover. Ultimately claims that he emanates from her, herself all things (eastern religion again).

Landian accelerationism is just a companion piece to get the vibe right. His thesis is our technology, our markets, our culture have hijacked the planet and us. Humans are on their final ride as slaves of the machinery we inhabit. Context for why the show took off, it was approx 1yr into pandemic and even Nick Land got meme fatigue by then.

Google trends: Russkies (pseud doomers/tranime goons to the last) ate the shit up.

Sets the tone. Enhances experience like dark rooms and scary movies.

I'm not schizo, y'all just retarded. Ask /lit/ fags.

The personal anecdotes and outside references must have confused you. Read more. Take stronger drugs more frequently.

The reddit spacing makes this a pain to read. You don't need line breaks for every sentence.
