Serial Experiments Lain for PS1

I don't seem to understand, but it's really interesting so far. I don't even know where I am. I switches between random mysterious dialogue and somebody named Toko.

Probably. Currently Lain is talking to someone named Kyoko.

>I don't seem to understand
A shame, you seemed an honest man

Apparently Toko is sad about her boyfriend (?) leaving for Japan, and Lain is doing unrelated Lain things. I think.

Clicked on the thread for this and I wasn't dissapointed. good job.

>tfw want to buy a new navi but parts are still inflated as fuck and I'd really only use it for vidya anyway

I still need to finish watching the last five episodes. Weird anime, but I like it. It's a real slow burn though.

I think I'm getting the hang of the site layout. I don't need to go back to the index after every file, so I presume that's a good thing.

Tokou keeps whining about her life problems.

Is this the most overrated anime of all time?

Nah. The game is pretty good though.

I love Lain! Let's all love Lain!

That's not Hunter x Hunter

It's an AU by the same writer.
At least Lain's anime actually came out.
I wish we had a puzzle Lain game like Myst or something. Or a dating sim. Either one.

no but there is a common theory VN Lain is like a prototype version of the Anime one

It's pretty much it's own self contained story. I've read some theories about how it's some kind of a prequel to the show but I didn't finish it yet

Overratedness and underratedness is the disparity between the critical acclaim and the popularity of a work. It's easy to say "it's known SAO is shit" but the reality is that most people fucking love it, despite the objective lack of quality. And you can't say normalfags don't count, it's normalfags who end up deciding whether something is overrated or not.

In a sense, yes. Lain deals more with the mind, Tex with the body and Haibane with the soul.

Most of the people who are balls deep into that stuff aren't watching a lot of other anime. If they were, then they'd start to grow tired of it like you and I both have. I can't even keep a running interest in JoJo at this point and just decided to not bother with anything this season. I'll probably watch Haibane Renmei over the weekend since I don't have much else going on.

Sometimes fun things are fun. I agree that too much of it does get tiring though.

I've been meaning to rewatch Haibane again too. It's been roughly three years since I first saw it.

You mean you haven't started with the Greeks yet user?

Anime isn't the medium to do anything seriously or take seriously. Anything that actually directly do philosophical shit is a total snoozer. Its best kept subtle if it's even there at all, and lain is laughable when it tries to do it, like most animes ever.

Lain for Smash when?

Attached: qa lain rakka navi sketch.jpg (681x575, 193K)

She'd be too OP. She's probably be like one of those M.U.G.E.N. top tier characters that can hack into your computer and shut down the game to win.

>Anime isn't the medium to do anything seriously or take seriously

People do take it seriously though, if not consciously then subconsciously. Anime gives people a feedback loop of good feelings and can inform the choices they make in their very lives, which has very real consequences. You may not know it but even the wackiest and silliest over the top anime has some kind of moral grounding in truth. You can't make an anime about nothing at all, nobody would watch it.

Her Final Smash would be turning everyone's atttacks back on themselves like the Accela guy in Cyberia.

>tfw lain threads only pop up once in a moon on Yea Forums
I just want to love lain with everyone else and not feel so lonely on my computer all day.
I think her final smash would be her using her NAVI to delete the enemy character while they are still on the field like what happened to Lain's sister.

>sister first becomes a total shell then gets literally delet'd
what a fucking twist
not that she actually was her sister in the first place

That would be cool. And one of her outfits would have to be the bearsuit.
>Lain threads only pop up once in a moon
The last one I started got deleted early, possibly because we started going way off topic. This was around a month ago though. I feel your pain user, good threads about games you enjoy seem to happen so rarely.

I've gotten close. Alien Nine and the original Boogiepop Phantom have given me relatively the same feel. I want more.

Have you seen ABe's other shows? Ghost Hound by Konaka is also supposedly decent, though I haven't seen it myself. If you're into Yea Forums Neuromancer is similar, only with more action.

/x/ is pretty bad now. It was alright back when I was browsing in 2009, but I don't really care for it anymore because the thread quality has gone down so bad. That and they bad discussion of mental illness as being "not paranormal".

you gotta dig deeper. K

That reminds me, I need to watch Texhnolyze. If anyone can give me a decent review of that I'd love to hear it.

>K
But I don't want to talk about guns.

:(

It's like Lain in that there's not a whole lot of action and it's a real slow burn. Some people get bored of it because of that, but I like it because of how slow it is and how the plot really does progress in an interesting manner showing how fucked up the future of cybernetics can be.

I was reading a plot summary of it and it seems like it'd be interesting to me enough. I recall watching the first episode awhile ago and liking it. Might continue it tonight.

shmoop.com/hollow-men/poem-text.html
I'm not trying to oversell it. It's pretty depressing

I'll do what I can:
Texhnolyze tells the story of Ichise, a young boxer in the underground mining town of Lux. He gets his arm and leg lopped off by a gang leader after angering a prostitute, and thus begins a cyberpunk tale of transhumanism and despair. Also starring are Ran, a Seer who can supposedly see the future (also best girl), Onishi, the defacto ruler of the city and boss of the Organo crime syndicate, and Yoshii, a mysterious outsider whose motives are unclear.
Unlike ABe's other shows, Tex can be quite violent. Gang warfare is an ever-present reality in this city, and the harsh realities of their existence have turned its' inhabitants into little more than animals devoid of hope. The OST is one of the best I've ever heard, and the show relies mostly on visuals and sound, rather than dialogue. In fact, the first episode features no dialogue at all for the first ten minutes. The style is hard to get into at first, but once it clicks it works really well. Tex also has one of the best ending arcs in anime, but is absolutely not a show that everyone will like. I do though, and worst case you try it out, hate it and move on to something else.

That's not tonari no kaibutsu-kun

Doc is a woman who knows what she wants and makes sure to get it, I like that. Although I'm fairly sure she's raped Ichise a few times, or at least had intercourse on seriously shaky grounds of consent.Not that'd I'd be complaining, he should've just ran away with her.

She molested him at least twice, yeah.

It's not a magnum opus of deep cultural themes like The Shining, it's a weird cyberpunk version of Eraserhead. An unapologetically pretentious and murky anime.

Lain is a good girl, she didn't deserve that ending.

absolutely anischeral post, friend

So Lain is like an anime Mr Robot?

no

Why the fuck did Lain get so popular all of a sudden? I see everyone talking about it

I see like one thread a week, where the fuck are you hanging out, lainchan?

What's all the tech and computer stuff about, then?

up to interpretation

And you know what they say might hurt you

All modern anime is highschool anime drama, or giant robots fighting

Why don't they make anime like Lain anymore?

It was really cool of Jasmine Rodgers to record this for the show's anniversary.

too risky / to be honest not enough talent anymore to pull it off

The last unique anime we got was Ergo Proxy, which was more than a decade ago.
Don't weebs ever get tired of watching the same old shit?

too much risk and people will write it off as pseudo intellectual anyways. It's better for everyone if they cater to the lowest common denominator instead and give weebs the same stale shows they've been watching for decades

Money's not in it. It's safer to make something that appeals to the human scum that demand all media be at least softcore porn

>Money's not in it.
How exactly does an animation studio make money? Is it by views watched on TV?

things only got better.

most of the money is made up in blu ray sales
these releases are usually very overpriced, like $100 for half a twelve-episode season
a good part of that money comes from ultra-devoted/rich fans who buy multiple copies of the same dvd

I've been watching the new Boogiepop 2019 and even though I really love it, the thread on Yea Forums is only the day the new episode is out then forgotten until next week. And lots of normal people don't even know what Boogiepop is. It's sad really.

>ultra-devoted/rich fans
I'd imagine cult classic TV shows will have more devoted fans then a generic run of the mill weeb shit. no?

devoted fans =/= devoted fans buying the product

It's niche. You don't see Jojifags jerking Lain off in the wild. The show just resonates with Channers.

Weebs are, almost by definition, into the lowest-tier schlock imaginable, since that stuff feeds their fantasies about going to Japan and being a cool guy who gets lots of Jap pussy.

So no, they don't.

How does one derive different interpretations of a computer?

>what is Darling in the Franxx.

This show literally saved anime.

That's a really nice painting, user. Do you mind if I download that?

>texhnolyze
Messed up scene, messed up anime. But the sex scenes were decent

A computer is a computer is a computer. There is no room for interpretation, my friend.

sure user its all yours

That's one way to look at it.

There is only one way to look at it.

Fuck off, he made all the 'cryptic text' in fauxx.neocities by writing in word and applied a funky font and then kept the source formatting when he copy pasted it to the site. It's not some voodoo bithack magic.

And you know that it means so much

thanks bud

Neocities doesn't serve dynamic content

lmao

That's one way to look at it.

No

>tfw obscura will never be a thing

It's just a computer. It doesn't mean anything.

That's one way to look at it.

>implying there's any other way

Yeah, I disagree.

Well then what's another way to see it as?

IT has significance in SEL.

That's it?

That's an alternative view, yes.

No it isn't. They are still computers. Computers are significant in Mr. Robot and Watch Dogs. They're still computers. Are the computers more than computers in Lain?

That is an alternative to IT not having any significance to SEL.

The significance of information technology is irrelevant to the fact that it is still information technology.

Yes, and?

So there's way to interpret computers besides them being computers. I asked you how they are relevant to the anime, but you don't seem to know.

No, you said "It's just a computer. It doesn't mean anything." and asked "Well then what's another way to see it as?".
I answered that question. What's the problem?

I said that only after you failed to explain what the computers in Lain were about, and why she had them.

>why she had them
Her dad bought them, why suddenly bring that up? What's that got to do with anything?

Of all anime and classic Japanese-exclusive games out there, why do the Lain threads specifically get so many posts?

I watched Texh years ago and loved it but still haven't got round to watching Haibane or Lain. I'm in the mood to watch them now, which one should I start with?

They don't have to since we have unique shows each season.

It's not overrated. No one besides a handful of mexicans and literal children think it's any more than a bogstandard battle shonen.
