just a guess...but i think that, at least in this anime, reality isn't linear. events happen at different times from lain's perspective. so the stuff we see in the OP has yet to happen to her, but it's already happened for other people...if that makes any sense...?
has anyone else noticed this almost seems not to have a story? I believe it to be because in most series hell most stories the story progresses in a simple linear cause and effect way but in this important information we would know in a normal series is left out.
people say the matrix guys were coping this show but it seems to me more like videodome and (basic instinct at 5:08 LOL) i dont get this anime but i cant stop watching it
@tellme32 Like the song, "Have you ever seen the rain", because 'l' and 'r' are often pronounced the same way. So they said; "Have you ever seen the Lain"... ahh forget it. I found it amusing anyway.
@BlondeBusDriver96 Her cooling system did, which would cause one to assume the computer overheated and caused a nuclear meltdown considering it was sufficient to cool spent nuclear fuel rods.
In a quiet, reserved way, I think that Serial Experiments Lain is one of the greatest works of fiction ever made. I find it kind of sad that it never really attracted a wide audience. Then again, products designed for mass appeal tend to have all of their quality and originality liposuctioned out, so it is perhaps fortunate that Lain remains the underrapreciated, disturbing, cerebral, beautiful and brilliant gem that it is.
her dad bought her the newest model of that machine,and guys like that make serious money ,maybe she just didn't spend the money she got from him till then
I'm starting to wonder about where she got all of her computer equipment from, considering she started off with a normal sized thing. xD That's one hell of a water-proof computer system that seems to only run from one plugpoint. xD
She's going to need more power than that, I heard the guys in charge of IBM's Roadrunner tried it recently, and they couldn't quite get to the last "ultra high" setting. :D
In the desire to "connect" we can instead seperate/alienate ourselves from others and lose focus of who we are in the quest. The eternal questions surface; what is the purpose of man's existense? Will the answer I find be true? What do I accept as truth?
Lain really isn't that complex; like life...it's what you make of it that amounts to something.
I love how her simple Navi has grown into this monstrous tumor of a computer - so big it's practically bulging out of her window. It symbolizes how deeply she's getting involved in the Wired I think.
I get the feeling that the extraordinary amount of English that just floated by was not really supposed to be read. Curse my English-speakingness!

This is my take on the anime:
In the desire to "connect" we can instead seperate/alienate ourselves from others and lose focus of who we are in the quest. The eternal questions surface; what is the purpose of man's existense? Will the answer I find be true? What do I accept as truth?
Lain really isn't that complex; like life...it's what you make of it that amounts to something.
