| 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. |

I watched this series a while ago and it is one of my favorites. It really isn't fluffy or lighthearted in any way shape or form. It is a very deep and psychological series that will really make you think. I think if I had to relate this series to one other anime it would be Evangelion. While there is no mecha action scenes or anything like that in this show, it is similar to Evangelion in the philosophical sense and in the messages and symbolism it is trying to get across. This anime will make you think, and might even confuse you. It is one of those ones you might have to watch over a few times to really understand, but that's what I love about it. If you are looking for something fluffy and funny or action packed this is not the show for you but if you are looking for something that really makes you think about the world around you and will expand your thoughts about religion, you will love this.
PS. Im working to upload the rest of the 13 episodes and sorry about the wrong name for episode 2, it's actually called "Girls" my mistake!

Are episodes 8 and 9 going to get uploaded soon? Didn't want to sign up with Crunchyroll just so I can keep up with the story.
