    (7/10) I came across this film three times in 20 years. The first time was when I was in middle school, and I gave up after watching one episode; the second time was because of Ryunosuke Obayashi (the voice actor of Captain Goto, the protagonist of "Mobile Police") , but I didn't insist on a few episodes; this time it was because of Ryutaro Nakamura that I finally forced myself to finish it. The first half is really not boring, until the second half, or even the last few episodes, you can see the real mainline and realize that this is a cyberpunk work similar to "The Matrix" (only Lingyin is not Ni Oh, it is better to say that it is closer to Smith), and the reason why many characters in the first half are almost confounding is also obvious. But the prelude is too long, and skipping to the 8th episode after watching the first 3 episodes will not have much impact. But whether you like this work or not, you have to admit that its awareness is ahead of its time. In 1998, "The Matrix" had not yet been released, Google was just established, and the website began to appear in the form of www, and the system people used at that time was Win95... It's not too boring, "Lingyin" can be the most sensational cyberpunk work after "Battling in the Shell" and before "Hacker".

Serial Experiments Lain quotes

  • Lain Iwakura: No matter where you go, everyone's connected.

  • Chisa Yomoda: There was no reason for me to stay in the real world any longer. In the real world, it didn't matter if I was there or not. When I realized that, I was no longer afraid of losing my body.
