  • The song is so fucking unfitting. Seriously.

  • Watched this in one go last summer, then proceed to base two of my English essays on the ccyberpunk culture and the Internet.

  • Present day

    Present time

    lulz

  • the best anime ever >:(

  • 0:05 Hi Orange, we met again.

  • I love this anime amazing but really different from others I have seen

  • It is not BoA. BoA is a korean band and this is Bôa - English group.

  • Ok let me get this straight you niggas :

    Lain did nothing. Nothing except to predict all the addictions from the real/virtual worlds.

    :D

  • @halafradrimx ^^ ur right nigga :D

  • engrish day engrish time

  • '' Present Day! Present Time! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! '' xD PRICELESS

  • Solitude

  • Awesome song, awesome anime. Many people out there just don't understand. . .the song is right on on stating so. Love it.

  • @SOOLTV Issue is, most only came in mid way, or caught a few episodes, and like Paranoia Agent or FLCL, you need to see pretty much every episode or you are lost

  • @WhiteTiger225 Even if you watch every episode, you can't deny having a wild ride. Or be blown away during not just the end. Paranoia Agent had a twisted ending, but it was great, only when you watch every episode you can put the pieces together that they give you to fully appreciate a great work of art. Lain isn't something that can be explain, not to me anyways, it's the type of anime that you must experience by watching. I tried explaining Lain to my niece and was baffle at the lost of words.

  • Why isn't this anime available to watch on Youtube? WHY? I can't tell it's badass but I have no way of watching it anywhere. ;u;

  • Why do I like this song so much?

  • @RevolutionaryLoser It taunts you.

  • @IronAceSub It's Not depressing.

    It's reality mixed with sci-fi "feeling".

    Lain have a very complex story and can be a little confuse if you don't pay attention.

    Go watch Naruto or some Shōnen if you Want happy ending stories and "feel good" sensation.

  • Looks depressing, if you like this I'd be pleased to hear why, no kidding, I just stumbled on this looking for good anime ops; should I watch it? Looks like it'd put me in a bad mood...

  • @IronAceSUB It's not especially depressing, just complicated and a little... weird.

  • @IronAceSUB It'll give you a mindscrew. Go for it!

  • i found posters online, i have 4.the rest are portal , bayonetta, dmc,and other games, i love her

  • @freak5021 wow your watching paranoia agent & lain at the same time o.o why hasnt your brain exploded yet

  • the first time i saw this anime was a couple months ago on allkidsouttathepool(dot)com, its an awesome site that shows classic animes and adult swim shows, it basically runs 24/7, im in love with the site and encourage you guys to visit, and they show this anime on weekends right after paranoia agent

  • i read a summary of this anime in "The Rough Guide to Anime" and it sounds really cool! totally on my "Summer Anime" list! :D

  • what is lain? I just stumble in here because I saw the white noise. This is so cool!

  • These are the kind of anime I love.

    Interesting and filled with hidden and deeper meaning.

  • Bought the Blu Ray last week... best $300 I've ever spent...

  • @prettycolors2 You know Playstation costs less and can play Bluerays with same quality right? :P

  • @zeeftasty I already have a PS3... I meant that I spent $300 on the Serial Experiments Lain special edition Blu ray...

  • @prettycolors2 Best use of money.

  • @prettycolors2 AGREE

  • i wonder how you wud feel if you took drugs then watched Lain.. i think it might mess you up a bit, and i hate the people who say it's boring... i think its that they dont seem to understand (pun) the dynamics and awesomeness that was put into it. kinda like they never tried to like it

  • Lain is awesome. I felt so little and empty after i saw it.

    I cant understand how anyone can say it is boring!

  • I like how this opening talks so directly to me! :)

  • Best anime opening ever.

  • @Mangakid37201 It's the original opening you fucking weeaboo, there's nothing wrong with it. the song is nice, and the anime is too. keep pretending to be Japanese all you want, i doubt you would even understand it if the song was in Japanese without having to look it up.

  • woah, this is by BoA? It kind of sounds like The Cranberries.

  • @cocoyamfufu

    A different BoA from the Korean one, if that's what you're thinking xP

  • i once watched the entire series in one sitting. my head then proceeded to explode. It was awesome!

  • the "experiments" in serial experiments lain is because lain was an experimental program and the word "serial" is a port on the computer to input data into or out of like usb. Small touches like that are abundant in lain, one of its best characteristics. im watching Texhnolyze now but i just cant seem to shake the feeling that i would rather be watching lain.

  • i miss this show.

  • "Present Day, Present Time! HaHAHAHAA "

    me: :O wtff?

  • @animefreakpsp ikr? xD

    I didnt get that either xD

  • I used to watch this when I was young (too young) and it always seemed to put me in a kind of lucid state as well as depression. To me it was very sobering and understandable. I think lain does a good job on describing what humanity is actually like. One episode I liked was the one about aliens, it was surprising the alien came to visit her... first time I saw her scared enough to huddle in a corner. The other was when the poser god tangled up that one girl and I wondered why she was scared O_O

  • This is probably the only anime that can make confusing the shit out of its audiences a good thing. If I understood what the hell was happening half the time, I doubt it would be anywhere near as good. The overly complex plot is just what makes Lain....Lain.

  • @_@

    This was awesome watching late at night as a kid.

  • @LovetteCher yeah haha. creeped me out so much back then

  • @LovetteCher Same here, it was awesome. That and all ther others were awesome like: Outlaw Star, Blue Submarine no. 6, Cowboy Bebop, a few short episodes of Pilot Candidate, Dot Hack Sign (also fairly depressing), and yeah Tenchi Universe (or whatever it was called). Lain was more about understanding things than being entertaining, but it was interesting. It was strange how it was called "serial experiments lain" the strange part being "serial experiments" O_O ... no wonder I felt strange...

  • This show wouldn't be the same without ABe character design. Dude is a legend.

  • Errrrmmm can some1 give me kinda like a summary of this anime i kno its depressing and stuff but wat does it talk about

  • @QueenFairy100

    It's about a girl called Lain and the things she experiences. After a girl in her class commits suicide she recieves and e-mail from her from beyond the grave and sets out to find her online where she gets caught in the middle of a game of chess going on between a group of hackers and a group trying to control the online network known as "the wired" the hacker leader sets out on a agenda to recruit Lain and make her a goddess in the wired. It's just complicated watch it lol

  • It's kinda complicated. It's about a computer world called The Wired. The girl in the Vid is called Lain. It's 1 of those thinking animes,like Evangelion,or Boogipop Phantom(if u've seen em) Lain kinda reminds ya of The Matrix. Hope this helped.

  • Yea this Anime wuz kinda freaky whn I first saw it. But it still intrigues me even now.

  • @Kuroneko388 whats it about?

  • lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain lain

  • @huniverso Whats it about?

  • Too deep for you?

  • "And you don't seem to understand.."

    NOBODY understands this show at first. lol

  • LEGENDA!

  • LEGENDA!

  • the laugh in the start is so scarry! ;D

  • the opening is so awesome! and the anime is more awersome! :D

  • How many other people watched this when they were little? I think it was on Cartoon Network or Adult Swim or such.

  • @LovetteCher

    It was on G4-Tech TV, I think.

    I also remember Last Exile, Crest/Banner of the Stars, and Betterman,

  • After the into, it totally reads me thoughts: "And you don't seem to understand~~" Haha... I laughed when I realized this.

  • エヴァと違って、前半がえらく難解だったなあ(特に第1話)

  • This song has a "cranberriesque" style.

  • I 1st watched this when I was like 12 and I didn't get it now I'm 20 and I watched it again I can understand it better now

  • is this good? should i watch it?

  • @PrinceTheRipperBel7 It's one of my fav anime of all time but I'll warn you that it's pretty abstract. I know a lot of ppl who couldn't get into it because it's hard to follow at times.

  • I should go rewach it. When I first saw it I didn't understand much.. but it stayed in my head

  • beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • Yes the full thing with the opening. Was worried there wasn't one on youtube that didn't only have the song.

  • This song is awesome. It's feeds my high.

  • genial

  • What is this anime about?

  • If Serial Experiments Lain and Paranoia Agent ever came together as one...that would be one mind fucking anime x3

    but either then that Lain 4 the win! >w<

  • 10 People don't seem to understand.

  • @ZeshiKuro 6 more people got confused and can't understand.

  • @ZeshiKuro And they don't feel a thing.

  • WTHHH!!!!!! This is so depressing

  • I never really understood this show. All I know is every time I watch it, always form start to end, I'm always depressed by the end. NieA_7 seemed cute and Haibane Renmei made sad but thoughtful... but Lain always just made me confused and depressed. I still love it, but that's why I don't watch it very often.

  • beautiful anime, beautiful song!

  • i love her fakeout at 0:40 lol

  • Is this a good anime? If it is I'm gonna watch it :p

  • @AnimeGuruma the most addicting and best story anime i seen.....and i have seen a lot trust me :D

  • @AnimeGuruma

    This requires a great deal of mental investment as it's one of those extremely hardcore Japanese mindfuck animes, like Evangelion or Boogie Pop Phantom, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart if you dislike cryptic and sometimes unbelievably confusing plot elements.

    It's kind of bad in how schizophrenic it's pacing is, and how confusingly it presents itself.

    But it's also good because if you can handle all that, it's an incredibly smart cartoon

  • BoA is a Korean singer, btw. "Duvet" is sung by Bôa, an indie rock band from UK.

  • レインちゃん可愛いなぁ

    最後、幸せになって欲しかったなぁ。

    あのラストは無いよなぁ。

  • @mahboh0322

    やめてくれ、俺はこれから見ようとしていたのに!

  • the art isn't very nice

  • @Narcissist245 the art style is made to go along with the presentation of the anime. Should the makers have used a more common technique then the whole feel of the anime would change.

  • buenaza la voz.........:)

  • beautiful

  • whats this anime about

  • @RobotMice Never really got into it but basically, the main character Lain is a 12 year old girl who has psychic powers and is able to use them through the web. Can't spoil too much though, kind of a weird anime for my tastes. I like Texnolyze much better.

  • Alguien sabe d qe trata este anime , lo kiero ver y se ve interesante pero veo qe en con otros usuarios d Youtube 100pre comparan este anime con boogiepop phamtom :S entoncsz es tan Gore ???? Xfavor respondan ^^

  • @TheInfinitystars1 la trama es complicada, pero muy recomendable

  • @TheInfinitystars1 lain is far more psychological than gore, but it really ressembles boggiepop phantom in its mood. if you liked boogiepop, you'll love lain too.

    you should definitively watch it.

    sorry i can't write in spanish...

  • @Aemys oooh! thank's :) i understen perfectly :)

  • I love this song!

  • Best psyclogical anime ever!

  • Present day, present time! HAHAHAHAHAAHA!

    ...

    ...

    What, you don't get it? But isn't it just HILARIOUS? xD

  • I would cuddle dat kuudere so hard

  • Lain is one awesome anime.

    But you need to take your time and try to read between the lines to understand and like it... Unfortunately, many people don't do that and thik it's boring. >_>"

  • @HamEggsButteredToast agreed. i had to watch it twice to fully understand it.

    (either that or come back in a couple years and try it again)

  • <3 all yoshitoshi abe character

  • according to my research about this anime, it's like the Matrix but with more philosophy

  • ハリウッドは、このアニメを盗んでマトリクスを作りました。

    

  • I read college textbooks in 7/16th time.

  • i heard this anime actually influenced the matrix movies. is that true?

  • @brazwen It'd be unlikely as it began production before they came out.

  • @brazwen No. This is a fictional story about how we got our modern day technology and one girl's destiny surrounding it. It's told with deep allegories so you simply need to watch it to understand.

  • @brazwen that would be amazing

  • why is this freaky. this opening doesnt scare me a BIT.

  • 1337

  • @lin2k4 Lain is a pretty h4x guy

  • the main character in this series is soo deceiving, a cute 13 year old girl, but watch out, piss her off and she'll erase your entire existence. It was a weird anime but the concept was pretty great.

  • its so depressing, and true......i just fell in love with this girl (and IM not EMO!)

  • @BibsZL Too bad she's God, huh?

  • @DelphinusMAch1 FUCK it, i'll become god for HER >:D!!!!!!!

  • one of the things that i liked about this show was that a lot of old tv shows predicted outlandish technology for the future, but this show actually got one thing right. they knew there would be texting.

  • Its creepy, its hard to understand, its old, its short, its depressing, its not entertaining, its like a college textbook, its hell. And even now I cant figure out why I like Lain so much. Maybe I'll just say it has a magic of its own.

  • @indrahebat

    You know what? You captured my thoughts exactly before I had a chance to even think them.

  • @indrahebat Exactly. It wasn't even "entertaining" in the traditional sense, but I couldn't stop watching. D:

  • @indrahebat

    You have expressed in words what I just couldn't. Thank you.

  • freaking awesome opening o.o.....

  • i remember watching this when i was like 7, haha XD

  • i heard she have three personality's? is 0:40 ,0:30,and 1:29 them? wait 1:49?

  • This is a a perfect song to listen to when you're taking a walk on a cold cloudy day.

  • this is a little creepy, but one of the best anime op ive heard.

  • Ah Miss your leaving your hat behind...

  • 00:05

    umm .......... lol?

  • whats this sbout first time seeing this opening?

  • I was wondering... o.o; There was a forum created-based on a Jisatsu Circle, there are lots of 'websites' based on Jigoku Tsushin from Jigoku Shoujo, but there is nothing based on Wired... Which means it can't be done because there are no mad fans. Am I right? Am I wrong?

    (by "mad" I mean a huge fanservice which doesn't exactly mean I have something against fanservices).

  • @Keoniria

    True. Most Lain fans are tame compared to most other animes. Most of the "rabid" anime fans avoid this series because it's really a thinking anime and most don't want to put the time into thinking about the deeper meanings.

  • you know whats funny, ive never heard of this anime before and its so popular. the op song is beautiful.

  • I love psychological animes but idk about Lain, it freaks me out, with the cold look in her eyes at 1:15 and 1:20 as well as the "Present day, Present time!" thing.

  • Finally an upload that doesn't stretch the picture and has good quality sound.

  • lovely song =)

  • This show was really weird for the first few watch troughs but then it makes sense. and this song NEVER gets old.

  • what VA is the one that does that,i always wanted to no

  • @BitterFrost I's not a VA, If i remeber Corectly the band BoA (not the same as the Korean BOA) is from europe somewhere.

  • Present day, heh.

    Present time! Hahahahahaha!

  • Makes me laugh too xD Kinda creepy.

  • Man, that shit is FREEEEAKY!

  • @tsukikage i don't..... get it -facepalm-

  • i never watched it, but i have an asian friend who loves animes, so could someone tell me what it was about so i can get really into it? i love anime, but i wanna know things about the show before i get into it.

  • @dillerd19 it's about computers & software :P

  • It is a REALLY complex anime about a girl who has special abilities in the network world called Wired.She tries to find out what she is.

    You can watch this anime but the opening music is the best part of it. X D

    Compelx... Really Complex i cant explain it sorry : )

  • its hard to eplain, you should see it tho its great

  • a girl goes crazy in the internet that's pretty much the gist of it. You'll just hurt yourself trying to figure it out. Trust me.

  • Comment removed

  • momo

  • one of the most inspiring shows ever!

  • Agent smith got nothing on this gal

  • This is a good series. I've missed this a lot.

  • This opening makes me kinda depressed for some reason. ; - ;

    It was so confusing at the begining.

    But I get it now. :DD

  • Dang, I had the whole first season of this. It was so cool.

    Then I lost it. ;-;

  • First 12 year old girl to have a room sized water cooled super computer how awesome.

  • @wyatt5550 lol, but wasnt the water cooled comps like really old? :D

  • @gothicanimeangel96 there is water cooled computers now also and they are top of the line. alienware has them im sure =)
