I wonder if her name is actually supposed to be 'Rain'. It's not like we would be able to tell either way; Japanese doesn't make any distinction between the two sounds.
@GirlWithCrappyGuitar All you have to do is be objective. It's like Lost. After the first couple episodes I was done. It's too simple. When people are subjective about things, subjects become more complicated than they really are.
I have found the anime to be a symbol of how far society keeps going with technogly. Basically seeing how soon aliens and humans may live in one anothers world. If our technogly goes thar far, it could happen. It's not 100%, just a thought xD.
A valid point, but I think this anime actual centers around the theme of self worth, and the clarification of the importance of our own physical worth. This anime definitely talks about how far technology can go, to a point where we can become so obsessed with it that we want to live within it, but I truly think that its heart lays in the proof of our own self existence. Nothing, no matter what it is, can never take away our existence as long as we can stop and think, "I'm real."

@XhubiuXRock 10+ years ago people did consider this trippy. Then the Matrix came along. A lot of people still think that's a mind%@k.

I guess if you don't exist, you can walk down the street at night in your nightdress to talk to your dead classmate.

Good question. Here's another one: Does anyone know what most of the stuff in the series is?
(Does the person who made it know?)
anaelyssa 3 years ago
well, do you?
mokukiridashi 3 years ago
Uhhm. Well, the alien is a humanoid interface created for interaction by the integrated data entities that rule the galaxy. (Jk)
I have no idea either. The alien is so random... If anyone does know, I'd also be happy to find out.
