Alice is a weird name? I'm inclined to think Lain is weirder...

Wow this was a mind blowing anime.

i just happened upon this anime in a local video store like 10 years ago. They only had the first 4 episodes but it was enough to get me obssessed. Now that I have seen it all, i can honestly say this is the most brilliant thing I have ever witnessed. Anyone know if the creator of Lain has any other series?

@bwzamie indeed. and this has been the argument used by those who interpret lain as 'god.' this has a lot of hindu pantheism going on, drawing on the idea that all is one, that the ultimate reality is one. now, the interesting take made by the lain series, is to apply this concept, found in the most ancient pantheistic texts, into the present day using the context of the internet with its high-speed exchange of information.

Theoretically, she wouldn't 'have' to access every person unless she wanted to, but who would want to do that? Seeing billions of peoples lives unfold and go by, it would drive anybody insane. And that's the sadness of it, she has so much power but can't use it because she'll lose more of herself the greater influence she chooses to use.

Oh, it would be even more 'painful' then that. Since she exist as the projection of the wired, and everyone's connection to the wired, she has access to every single humans memories, feelings,emotions, ect. And to her perception, this all happens in the past, present and future. So by being able to access their consciousness,she can basically insert herself into anybodies life that she chooses. But only as a memory, and only temporary. And she chooses to do so over Alice.

IT probably wasnt smart, but this and Elfien Lied were my first, and most impacting, anime ever. Even way back then, watching a random DvD from the store, I knew I had stumbled across a masterpiece.
Now I look back, and see how little I understood, how many references and theories and subtle back plots flew over my head.
I shall never forget her.
So far as we remember her, Lain shall be real...
