  • I'm almost 16 and 've been watching anime since like 1 year ago. I started watching shonen, then seinen and then i got tired of all that shit!! I'm glad i found animes like these ones, intelligent animes :)

  • なつかしいなー。専門学校通ってたころ見てた。

  • エヴァ、攻殻機動隊なんかより、よっぽどリアリティがある。

    アニメはあんまり見ないんだけど。一番好きな作品。

  • @bhxeb4muey Did you enjoy the movies or the series more? I enjoyed the series more myself as I had more substance for exploration... being longer and all. GITS is one of my favorites...

  • Locomotion, alguno ?

  • 日本発のアニメなのに日本人らしきコメントがないので。

    私が高校生のとき深夜にやっていたアニメ。

    当時の衝撃は忘れられない。こんな不気味なアニメが深夜に放送し­ていれば衝撃の一つも受けるのだが、

    世界観が異質かつ先鋭的、そしてOPの曲もエレクトロニカ寄りの­レディヘを思わせる曲調。

    とにかくすごいアニメだったと私は思うのですが、一応日本発のア­ニメでして、もう少し日本人の書き込みがあってもいいんじゃない­かと思って書き込みしました。

  • @BEPPERize What did you enjoy about the anime specifically?

  • i never understood this anime, but for some how i used to love watching it, even because of this music.. and i was so weird watching it with lights off in sunday evening .. i was only 13 .. lol

  • What's the theme song in Japan? Out of curiosity. Or did the Japanese version have an English song?

  • @arachnophile01 Yes, this song is used as the theme song in Japanese version.

  • to make this clear people, the singer of this song is Bôa, a british singer not Boa -a korean singer who later entered her career long after this anime was even aired.

  • Man, this show was like a constant acid trip... Gotta re-watch it someday.

  • Oh man I loved this show I seriously watched it all in one go all day/night, I wanna watch it again...it's been like 6, 7 years? since I last saw it.....

  • @Veiledozify it's on netflix!! :D

  • 90年代末の匂い濃い曲調。

  • @aarsverpimp

    Oh Thanks for answering

  • comeback boa !

  • HEY I HAVE A QUESTION? I was reading reviews for this show on amazon thinking to buy this show. But someone put in the review that they think Lain is suppose to be a god. Will reading that line ruin the show in any way for me? If anyone could please answer I would be really happy!

  • @TheShadowrunner98 oh my word no! I think even you had someone sit you down and explain the whole show you would still be shocked seeing it. It's crazy! but very, very good I just bought it and I'm so happy!

  • @TheShadowrunner98 thanks for writing that here, now you maybe have ruined it for me who have just bought the show

  • Every day that passes people become less inteligent . Very few can still appreciate those animes .

  • @wtf192a You're right... There are too much people liking Naruto and Bleach... Old animes rules !

  • Excellent Halloween material right here, people!

  • I wish Dearly that itunes had anime ..... * Sad face *

  • 2005?!!!!

  • @theREALhaiaix3

    the series was made in 1998 man...

  • @taylorgoff235 no, i'm talking about when this video was uploaded MAN.

  • @theREALhaiaix3

    i'm not being rude, no need to be rude to me. I meant since the video was made that long ago it shouldn't be too surprising that the video is old.

  • @taylorgoff235 i was just surprised because the oldest video i've seen on youtube until i saw this one was from 2006. it's fun coming across a "pioneer".

  • @theREALhaiaix3 I'm freaked out, too

  • Animal unleashed. Saw this when I was like ten or 11 like this if that your generation.

  • reminds me of silent hill music

  • AM....I...HIGH?!? O_o

  • @KWolverine1 Yes... yes you are 0_0 hehehe XD

  • @prissy007hotmail Im not suprised. O_o

  • So crazy. It's seems that I'm out of the world.

  • When I watched this anime, My mind was blown.

  • must...rewatch ...anime >.<

    btw when i first saw the opening and saw the face she made at the end i thought she was drunk XD

  • i've never seen the show,but the music sounds good.i heard funamation is going to rerelease it,maybe on dvd&blu ray.

  • just finished this anime now and what a psychlogical mind fuck right from the start to the finish what a journey. The story is complex but they do help u towards the last 2-3 episodes to help u get the general gist of it, u have to put the rest of it together yourself, but they do bascially spell out the general idea of the story to u which i think was helpful. Im still feelin shaken after typin this LOL

  • @RP88888 You should try Monster next. It's one of the most underrated anime ever. I even dare to say that Death Note is nothing compare to Monster in terms of story, characters, theme, and setting. Here's the full series, if you're interested: /show/monster?pl=C2B47D5A68893­C4D

  • @kylehyde28 it sounds really good the description ill give that a watch when i have time for 74 episodes, and i aint seen death note yet is it that much hypeeee as people make out cuz after watchin lain im thinkin how can death note top this and i aint even seen it yet lol

  • @RP88888 Death Note is is not all hype because it kinda deserve it, but it's getting too overrated due to the fans who've never seen Lain nor any other psychological thriller/mystery, in my opinion. The series is unlike Lain because it's more fast paced and easier to get into. I won't say one is better than the other because they're both great series, but I have to say that I enjoyed Death Note better due to the protagonist-antagonist indirect psychological conflicts. But that's just me.

  • @kylehyde28 I mean they are totally different animes trying to do totally different things, comparing them isn't really fair for either side.

  • @Ilasperr Which one? Lain and Death Note, Monster and Lain, or Monster and Death Note?

    But I have to agree that they're all doing their own thing, and not the greatest of idea to compare them.

  • @RP88888 Not as deep as Lain, but it's better than other series out there. Just try it, you might like it. However, I wouldn't say that Death Note is better than Monster. Monster is more down to Earth and more realistic. Lots of character development, better plot, characters, and that jazz I've said before. Heck, even side characters are more rounded than some main characters in Death Note, imo. If you like Lain, I bet you'll like Monster.

  • What's the title of this song?

  • @love4remind Duvet by Bôa

  • I wonder what Lain's voice sounds like ..... Hmmm...

  • @TheKaBLAMshow Her voice is very soft...at least her 'physical' voice is. Her 'wired' voice is louder and more edgy. Then there's the other Lain who is pretty much crazy, she laughs a lot and sounds pretty carefree in a scary kind of way. Regardless, it's a good anime that's only 13 episodes long so you should watch it. :D

  • My CAD teacher brought me here :)

  • You can easily tell when this was made from it's theme song! lol..

  • a girl who does suicide and about technology and past present future

  • what's it about?

  • this anime makes me miss the late 90s.

  • nice  op song XD

  • I am practically fisting the replay button!!

  • present day heh... present time HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Lotta people going, "Kids today don't know what anime is" while waving their canes. Looks good, but it doesn't seem like I'd enjoy sharing the fanbase.

  • @Slashbash it makes sense though, anime's today recycle so much shit it isn't even funny. I haven't seen one innovative anime series this season(barring movies)

  • @MInuhanyouM

    Steins;Gate. Gosick. Mahou Shoujo Madoka. But if you specifically mean the summer season, then yeah there really isn't one anime that's refreshing that I've seen so far. But, the fall season will change that. There's Persona 4, Fate/ Zer, and Shakugan no Shana III so far.

  • @Darkrise71 Madoka is a bright spot. Steins Gate as well. Gosick i haven't seen. Persona 4 is probably going to be good if they capture the game's feel.Fate Stay Knight, and Shakugan 3 has yet to be seen, don't know anything besides it having to continue the perilous ending season 2 gave it.

  • @Darkrise714

    I'm not saying any of these series are going to be bad, or that new age anime is bad.

    But my point is, new age anime is not nearly as innovative as old school anime. It has nothing to do with whether or not these series are good or not

  • @MInuhanyouM This show isn't that old though. What's old and new for you?

  • @SurAuvers The last 4 to 5 years i'd say is new. I think the last completely innovative series i've actually seen was Noein, and that was 2006. I've been an anime fan since 96(i grew up on toonami and later involved myself in many other series) and i'd like to think that i've gotten better at being a judge of what makes a good(or innovative, rather) Manga/Anime/OVA/Film as time has gone on.

  • @Darkrise714 And this fall Mirai Nikki will be airing this fall. I hope it is as epic as the manga.

  • I had to watch this twice to fully understand it, but it fits together so well.

  • this song makes me sad .

  • sehr guter anime.

  • shame today's anime isn't as intelligent as these

  • @XRandomXShinigamiX Not really, you only need to know where to search ;)

  • @XRandomXShinigamiX Steins;Gate to name a good one this year

  • @XRandomXShinigamiX

    I agree. It seems to me they're all focused on being shiny/actiony and high quality. Which you certainly don't need to convey a great, great story.

  • I'm black, and like anime, this anime is amazing, here from brazil...

  • @gilbertonota10 brazilian animes sucks, the sbt, fuck all the animes ;(

    kkkkkkkkkkkk, lain é muito bom '-'

  • I'm 20 and I'm black and this opening used to bring me to tears when I was 12. This used to be my favorite anime. If u never seen this anime. Your missing out on something incredible.

  • @thedarkkey Now I know that you're black and 20 XD

    But, seriously, I gotta agree with you there. This is an amazing underrated anime, kinda like Monster.

  • I nostalgia'd hard, I remember they had this on demand and I watched the whole thing.

  • 46 people don't seem to understand

  • i missed this show :'3 i remeber watching it back in the day

    about 10 years ago hahaha

  • Man, such a good show. Really confusing at the start but if you stick with it, you don't regret it.

  • 666... scary (:

  • Where can I watch or read this? I can't find it anywhere!

  • avant garde anime

  • i would watch it if it wasn't because i already lost interest in anime and manga in general

  • @vikutaa its so true

  • @vikutaa How did you lose interrest in anime and manga in general? im curious, sorry. XP

  • i watched the whole series when it was on the defunct zdtv now g4 and im actually not a big weed smoker. i would wait for it to come on every night roll up a joint and smoke. i did that all the way to the end. it was like a dream. im glad to have experienced it and it was one of the hallmarks of my life

  • この前近くのゲーム屋でPSのLain見つけたけど、今じゃプレ­ミア付いて2万ぐらいするのな

  • This was an awesome series. The detail was amazing and I felt half insane while watching it. There was so much content I had to pause while I pondered the philosophical implications of what was happening. Best part was I have no idea what the story was about! Something about connection, computers and existence I think...

  • What stuck with me was how even the smallest details are planned. There's a scene where you see Lain's dad behind his bank of workstations, hidden by them and talking to her. He inputs his password: it's "Think Blue, Count two."

    That's the name of a Cordwainer Smith short story where in order to protect a colony ship, they create a god from a little girl's psyche. Bloody amazing.

  • Great Song for a Great Anime.

  • @Neane1993 if you are talking to me then i need to say this yes i am 16 and i do quite enjoy the mind screw but this show gets too deep into it the plot gets slow and boring death note was an example of mind screw but it had a good story to build around it and it was executed well. this show had the first two. there is no doubt in my mind this show has a great story but it was poorly executed and that is why it is boring to me

    im still not gonna watch it but for peace im deleting the comment

  • @Ruldolphmaker

    Did you seriously just say Death Note was a mind screw? You must be retarded. Death Note's plot and themes were really simplistic. Honestly, if you thought something like Death Note was deep, just get the fuck out of here.

    Lain is NOTHING like death note. Lain is really good, and if you don't have the attention span or the critical thinking skills required to watch it, just don't bother with it.

  • @alexpuddin SHUT UP OK i watched more episodes of the series it was still bad to me i guess its my preference to manga death note does have some mind screw aspects but one fucked up mind screw anime that i watched recently would be Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

    who could forget this classic scene /watch?v=dLIDerRj9sQ

  • @Ruldolphmaker

    I can tell you're 16, It really shows and not in a good way.

    Higurashi was not a mindfuck either. It's actually pretty simple to figure out if you watch the 2nd season, since everything is explained. They were in a time loop the whole story.

    If you honestly believe either of those series were confusing or a mindfuck, you should just go back to gaia with all the other blatantly retarded underageb&.

  • @alexpuddin may i ask how old you are? before i continue what does my age have to do with this im a 16 year old african american teenager who refuses to follow the other members of my race where i live (ghetto west philadelphia) so what. i dont want to watch shows that are soooooooo mind fuck that they are completely boring that is not my style. frankly i am more of a fan of shonen anime anyway so just back off. i just don't see it. sorry if my genre preferences are different from yours

  • @Ruldolphmaker

    >shonen anime

    >ghetto west philidelphia

    >african american teenager

    Oh wow.

    I can't take you seriously anymore, You've got to be trolling. This is the last time I'm replying.

  • @alexpuddin nevermind link does not work

    just facebook raziel gore (im the guy with the group photo)DO NOT FRIEND ME bye

  • @Ruldolphmaker AHAHAHA SHONEN ANIME HAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A FAGGOT

  • @EndOfTheW0rld AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TROLL WHAT A FAGGOT

    I am in an espically bad mood today so im just gonna say it and fuck spelling i dont care about it

    get you good for nothing man-gina little trolling ass out of here and EAT A DICK i dont know who you are other than some random youtube shit .if you died tomorrow society would be better off. you dickless wonder of a bitch if you have something to say about it then come find me but prepare to have a bullet placed in your head courtesy of me kay

  • @Ruldolphmaker where do you live, nigger?

  • @EndOfTheW0rld "face palm" i have nothing to say to your clear ignorance. im not really in a bad mood today so i will tell you ok ready 234 N. Noneyadamnmuthafuckinbuisness blv. lol

    anyway please note that i am not going to take shit from a dude who looks like a girl especially one who has watched many-an-anime and thought they could fight with moves that (get this0 dont work. you do not scare me so take your justin beiber lookalike ass out of here.

  • @Ruldolphmaker don't make threats if you're not going to go through, coon.

  • @EndOfTheW0rld dont jump into things you have no business in just because you dont particularly like shonen anime dosent mean i cant like it and that also applies to any unprovoked name calling did i do anything to you? no. and one more quick thing i said "find me" that means you look for me. now you can say whatever you want to me i do not care as i am not going to waste anymore of my precious time with the likes of you kay?

  • @Ruldolphmaker poor weeaboo nigger got mad rofl.

  • @alexpuddin he has a point and your both trolling

  • @Ruldolphmaker No it's not.

    It's about the Psychologic of a little girl.

    Very much Mind Rape...

  • @Ruldolphmaker one episode, maybe thats why you think it is boring. watch more before you decide

  • @phantomasgria if one episode did that to me why would i want to watch more then i tried to get into it again but then i heard gozars rant on most overrated and underrated anime where this show appeared on the list and pushed me to forget about it.

  • @phantomasgria Unlike the other guy, I've watched it entirely. It's not "boring" but it's definately slow. I can't say I liked it. And don't get me wrong: I do appreciate quality "author-based" short anime series, but this didn't cut it for me.

  • @Ruldolphmaker than why the hell are you here dumb ass?

  • ME encanta esta Serie.... La amo, Me gusta la Lain CSM!!!

  • i never got what they ment when they say present day present time 0_0

  • Warnung: Massiver Konsum von diesem Anime kann zu Staus im Gehirn führen!

    Zu viele Informationen die verarbeitet werden müssen und zu groß wird der Mindfuck am Ende. Also lieber stückchenweise anschauen.^^ Dennoch ein großartiger Anime, wahrlich ein Serien/Gedankenexperiment über sich selbst und der Welt. :)

  • such a blst from the past but the song is just awesome

  • I first heard this song almost 6 years ago, learned it so fast because it was the intro to the guy I was falling fast for's favorite anime. We'd stayed up all night watching it together. A week later they needed to test the sound set up for his band's practice and half the guys where in the main house, so they handed me the mic. I belted it out, the guys came in and told my brother he wasnt the lead singer anymore. I married the bassist I had learned the song for.

  • Present day...Present...TIME! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHH­AHAHA

    XD!

  • I wish they had more anime like this. The more thought-provoking anime were 90's creations.

  • @cakeyinreguluscars

    Try watching Texhnolyze & Haibane Renmei.

    It's by the same guy who did this show.

  • um was geht es in dem anime ??

  • @IIgreenEyes Schau ihn dir an und Bilde selbst dein Urteil ^^

    Es lohnt sich ihn zu schaun Stiftung-AL sagt sehr gut

    Hab ihn noch nicht durch ich sag nur wow

  • that little girl looks creepy.

  • @myrandalopezrocks watch ur mouth

  • Kool Yung Myth has a music video out ft. Nujabes/Tsutchie!

    If you like good music you should check them out, just type in Kool Yung Myth and you'll see the video.

    It's called "Sincerely"

  • when i was a kid i never understood this movie... iwas a underground graffiti artist involved in a subculture.....

  • i luv this back in middle school of 02

  • this is a good show very nice and sexual remember the good times of tech tv vote yes for it tocome back

  • 44 people are not connected to the wired

  • Hey! does anyone knwo the name of the track thats playin in Cyberia when lain asks Taro out?

  • what the music?

  • @razorskateful I guess that's Duvet from BoA, if I'm not mistaken

  • tExn eht nepO

  • This anime was the symbol of "after Evangelion" for me. "Moe Moe Kyun" animes are of course funny and cute,but I really need serious and complicated one like this....

  • @hsshytfuofvrtd did you try Haibane Renmei? same animation company and HR is number 2 on my very long favorites list.

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion

  • WOAH 43 KNIGHTS?!?!?!

  • i watched this whole thing, and somehow i feel more clever. It's weird how that happens when the only part i understand is the concept of the multiple-lain thing *no spoilers intended*

  • @taylorgoff235 meh 

  • @taylorgoff235 the multiple lains were all lains that were in other peoples minds. There was lains of the wired and lain of the real world. she came to terms with them and "erased them" since if a memory is removed then it never happened.

  • @Cervan

    i said that was the omly part i DID ALREADY understand, no need to explain it. lol

  • @taylorgoff235 Lol same here XD so much I didn't understand but that's one of the only things I did get on my own XD

  • @taylorgoff235 Man Shut the fuck up!

  • why do i feel connected to this song and anime?

    Because I'm exactly like her .

    Just noticed O.o

  • @DeathNoteFan9898

    its funny cos i she's a girl, lol.

  • This anime fucked me over.

    It was great :)

  • What's this anime about? Should I watch it?

  • @Harnikawa sorry but on one could explain this one to save there life, even wikipedia can only give a VERY veg decription, but it's defenitly worth watching as lain is WAY ahead of it's time.

  • kouiu animeha hikaretimauna...animeha konnakotogadekiirukaraii...あぁ、­現実はおもんないなぁぁ、色々いっぱいいっぱいになってきてんの­かな、才能ある奴が、新鮮な物作るからいいのかな、死にたいけど­、高校は卒業しないとなぁ。。。

  • damn this shit brings back memories i watched anime unleashed on techtv when i was in middleschool i watched betterman soul take and lain

  • i can't stop thinking...at the end of the opening, why didn't she just take her cap back and go, since it was only half a metre away from her?

  • @batman2105 goddesses don't care about caps. That's humans' lot to bother about trifles.

  • 神アニメ

  • The only 3 animes i love ( this dont include yaoi > >)

    Lain

    Michiko to hatchin

    Casshern sins

    Most new animes are very suckish and ecchi and or shojo. its rather annoying.

    I watched Lain when i was alot younger so i might just rewatch it.

  • maybe the only other anime that can match up to this one is flcl.

  • @iSupportUnderground

    Rahxephon and Boogiepop Phantom is a good comparison too.

  • its was good but short

  • Bôa - Duvet.

    Before anyone asks.

  • Lain is an experience. Lain is like a psychedelic drug binge.

  • @Arong36 I agree. Why don't you try it while on a psychedelic drug binge? It's a complete mind fuck.

  • woo el opening,me encanta me hace recordar muchas cosas (:

  • I call Lain the quiet anime because there isn't much talking; the pacing is perfect and the art work excellent. One of the best ever.

  • close the world , open the next...

    so beautiful xD

  • Just watch it without knowing anything about it. It's a great show worth seeing but just see it without people telling you what it is or what to expect or what you'd like, etc. Just watch it. It's unique and worth your time.

  • i just started watching it 4 the first time im at ep 3 and i have to say its a unique anime i enjoy it very much :)

  • Do they have a manga?

  • Serial Experiments Lain is such an awesome anime

  • She left her hat behind :(

  • I watched this series about 6 years ago it was pretty good but confusing

  • lain 玲音 レイン れいん ぁいn

  • Great song and lyrics.

    This anime is truly a masterpiece.

    And remember... PRESENT DAY... PRESENT TIME! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • @Myuer hahaha "Present day, heh, Present time MAUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH"
