Of course, I'm still going to watch the whole thing since I paid $80 for the whole series (because so many people so-highly recommended it), but during the first four episodes, I just couldn't help but MiST the whole thing as a defensive reflex. I personally thought that Perfect Blue did a much better job of handling this storyline (and even though I've only seen the first four episodes, I can already tell where the whole thing is going). Hoewver, Lain just seemed hackneyed, clichéd, with all the generic neo- anime signs (a network changing life and the meaning of reality a'la Ghost in the Shell, confused adolescents gaining new powers through their hormonal rushes a'la Akira, being fluffy and random for the sheer sake of being artistically disconnected and kind of forcing the issue, unlike, say, Key the Metal Idol). Normally I love nonlinear, artistic stuff. Last night I watched the first four episodes. The fears of a nation barreling towards self-oblivion, with ultra high suicide rates, low-paying-high-stress jobs, and family structures that are crumbling because of a lack of communication of emotions, and moral values.

Serial Experiments Lain begins to scratch at the surface of what is on everyones mind, but is not yet full developed, quite similar to the show. Post-Modern Japan has changed quite a bit since WWII, and as seen in the show, it might be going in a direction nobody is sure of, at a speed that nobody can control. The series stands as a warning about the future of Japanese culture, where it is headed, and the reprocussions that it could cause. It has references to death, internet, individualization, BeOS, Alice in Wonderland, lsd, and how children are beginning to get lost in todays society. This is the best anime, and film that i've ever seen.
The series gets deeper, and less into action, and more into the thoughts, and feelings that people have in their core. Lain begins to receive packages from Chisa that contain computer parts that will help Lain learn more about the wired-world, and why Chisa "Abandoned her body". From this part on, the series starts to ascend into great amounts of metaphors, and other strange ideas.
The girls in school are talking about how is is a sick prank, and that its sad that Chisa is dead. The strange part is that Chisa had killed herself a few days before the email was delivered. She has lead a normal life, until she received a chain email from her classmate Chisa. She isn't sure of herself, and her surroundings. Lain is a young 8th grade schoolgirl, who is shy, and self-involved. Serial experiments lain takes place in the near future (maybe 2003) where everyone is online at all times. Serial experiments lain is the product of an anime series produced post-evangelion, as well as the product of a society that is unsure of where its national moral values and beliefs are headed.
