| Summary: |
Lain is influenced by philosophical subjects such as reality, identity, and communication. The series focuses on Lain Iwakura, an adolescent girl living in suburban Japan, and her introduction to the Wired, a global communications network similar to the Internet. Lain lives with her middle class family, which consists of her inexpressive older sister Mika, her cold mother, and her computer-obsessed father. The first ripple on the pond of Lain's lonely life appears when she learns that girls from her school have received an e-mail from Chisa Yomoda, a schoolmate who committed suicide. When Lain receives the message at home, Chisa tells her (in real time) that she is not dead, but has just "abandoned the flesh", and has found God in the Wired. From then on, Lain is bound to a quest which will take her ever deeper into both the network and her own thoughts. |

Serial Experiments Lain is an excellent example of a great science fiction anime. I am a person not overly interested in science fiction, but as for this anime, I really enjoyed it. The story and plot are immensely thrilling; once you are done with one episode you are just yearning to go on to the next. The story is quite sad; the humor is quite minimal, if any. The animation and artwork is another quality of this anime which is just amazing. The color schemes used for the background and sometimes the characters are just astounding and reflect the mood of the anime in a spectacular way. The only bad part I find with Serial Experiments Lain is that the story can be very confusing at times. Otherwise, it is simply amazing.
Do not expect a lot of action in this anime, as it mainly focuses on psychological aspects, so if you are only into action/fighting based anime, this is probably not for you. If you do love science fiction anime and/or a great psychological thriller, though, I would definitely recommend this to you.
