Boring anime where nothing happens. Only empty-headed naive teenagers could take it seriously just because the endless empty references feel high-brow.
Made too late for the themes and plot to be cutting edge, and too gay and lame to be cyberpunk.
At least the OP was good. 3/10 basically.
It has art direction and sounds are amazing. Actually everything from Nakamura has always had great sounds.
If there's anything I would give it credit for, it's that it opened market for non-shit anime.

This, but
>too gay and too lame to be cyberpunk
Cyberpunk itself is gay, faggot. It was invented by literal gay edgelords just like 100% of fiction where the fiction isn't just a vessel. I only like frigyes karinthy because he's fun to read
>>1037
You're the gay one, faggot.
Not that I would disagree about cyberpunk being edgy, almost embarrassing trash.

>namecalling and an agreement
He(you, I don't know) called me a faggot for some reason without any explanation. That's "namecalling with no arguments".

hmm. The only good thing about SEL is lain herself, because lain a qt. Everything else is shit.

<people responding to my accidentally unfinished thread that I was hoping for my life Hapase would delete
I regret everything.
>>1035
Exactly this.
Sorry for shitting up one of the last good image boards.
>>1048
It's cool. Most of us can relate.
I completely fucked up a well-timed GET because a shitty proxy service replaced the image with an ad when downloading. Lesson learned
>>1050
>proxy service
<ads
Wow, what kind of shitty service dishes out ads like that? I haven't witnessed that from even bottom of the barrel stuff like UltraSurf
>>1051
That's the only explanation I could think of at the time:
>upload image to online converter
>download result
>its a screendump of the proxy homepage
Maybe it was some JS bug fuckery, who knows.

>Sorry for shitting up one of the last good image boards.
It's yet another imageboard that gets spammed on 4chan and 8chan, and on top of that, the admin gets referred to as "she". It wasn't that good.
I know this is bait but you realize Japan is much more nationalist than your faggot western states will ever be? They have your ethnostate (which will never happen by the way) without even trying.
>>1146
exactly, but whenever you try to point that out some kind of buttblasted /pol/wigger comes out of the woodwork and talks about MUH BIRTH RATES (although the birth rates of Japan are higher than that of native Europeans, but the migrants obscure that number).
I know this is bait but you realize Israel is much more nationalist than your faggot western states will ever be? They have your ethnostate (which will never happen by the way) without even trying.

There is literally zero reason for jews to portray israel as a shithole country with less % of jews.
Plus, it's in the fucking middle east and always invading new land. How do you expect a country to remain homogenous in such a situation?
Face it /pol/wiggers. Israel is a multicultural shithole and Japan is the only major ethnostate remaining in the world.

I liked Lain I guess. It had a cool atmosphere and a decent mystery storyline. People who unironically worship Lain are retarded though, and more often than not they miss the point of the show in the first place.

I have heard an interesting opinion that the whole thing with Lain starting hearing things and fighting some spectres on the Net is basically her delusions due to her prolonged isolation and spending too much time on the Internet. Like, it is vastly a show ridden with symbolism, and should not be taken literally (which I did).
To confirm or deny this, I have to rewatch it, but I don't want to ATM.
>>1216
It's not like overt or anything, but SEL seems to have a generally anti-transhumanist slant. Lain has the transhumanist cybercult assassinated, destroys the transhuman cybergod, rejects cybergodhood for herself, and then rewrites history so that the protocol that would have basically made everyone cybergods doesn't get invented.
Lots of lainfags watch the show and assume it's an exhortation to achieve transcendent godhood through the internet, when in fact it seems to be exactly the opposite. Even though Lain does end up being stuck in the Wired at the end, it's presented as more as a tragic sacrifice for her family and friends than as something to be aspired to.

I want to hear opinions on this anime that aren't from deluded commies.
