Serial Experiments Lain, A series
that aired in 1998 in Japan, is now being released by Pioneer
Animation in the US. A young girl, Lain Iwakura, recieves an
e-mail from a fellow student that committed suicide a week
earlier. Lain is puzzled by this and sets forth a way to
communicate on the "wired". She also is around with her
friends and some strange things occur, and some strange people
are watching her from her house, what will happen? Is the line
between the real world and the wired to blurred?
This series has excellent art and
the animation is above standard, while the plot will keep you
guessing to the end. The series has some character development
that will intrigue you, get you to know the different faces of
Lain. This series is a very serious series, with violence and
more mature themes, for this Pioneer has rated it 16 and up. I
think this series should be watched by everyone, especially the
EVA fans, so they can keep on guessing about weird endings.
