just got thru watching this and a bunch of youtube videos trying to explain it. still fucking confused by this series, is lain god or not?
>>1331something something lain is the god of the wired, something something her dad is the dor of real life.
that's literally all i remember about lain
>>1331I just started watching it, I'm on episode 3. It started out rather slow with little going on. The setting is weird as fuck, and weird shit is going on. It's hard to stay engaged when you don't understand anything and your getting dribbles of new things going on.
I'll keep watching, just to see what the fuss is about.
>>7994Lainchan and wirechan seem to like it too
I meant in more normie circles
>>7995Only with imageboard dwellers are also with other weebs?
I watched it for the first time with other people from /GET/ last Friday.
It's kino. Gonna watch it with my dad, he'll probably enjoy it.
>>7999I got that feeling too, but as you keep watching you start to understand most things from previous episodes. Obviously you won't fully get it in your first watch though.
>>19709Can't say I don't sometimes think of doing it, but now I would still rewrite it but without capitalism, not myself
I would skip and rather be born in a society that doesnt' need anymore productive forces to be formed
What do you think about the OP and ED, what do they mean
Never seen an anime with a full english OP
You will ONLY ever understand Lain if you first:
>read works on early cybernetics
>read the entirety of burroughs, gibson, dick, rucker, mckenna, lovelock, stephenson, etc
>read cyberia, wholeness and the implicate order, turbulent mirror, etc
>read the collected works of freud and jung
>understand D&G
>understand Baudrillard
>read fisher and plant (land is for after lain)
>watch and read the all of the Serial Experiments Lain multi-media works
>>21692You just need to make the basic assumption about the typical 4channer
>Lain is a schizoThat's it…
