hard to justify

Finished watching "Lain". According to the Internet, there are mixed reviews. It's impossible to understand it without doing your homework in advance, at least you'll be foolish to read it yourself.

All in all, almost no trace of "EVA" can be seen. To talk about this and the other places, it is very shocking to use a large space stagnant scene, an unbelievably powerful sense of existence. Compared with the gorgeous violence of "EVA", the inner monologue of the stream of consciousness, the confusion and despair of the beginning and the end of the century that have been repeatedly emphasized, and the careful consideration of the details, "Lain" is always a fleeting, simple and experimental. .

OP Theme is good. Go down and check the bôa. The hat was blown up by the wind, and the black shadow of the crow's wings was projected on the face, leaving behind the hat and the shadow floating on the overpass and the scene of withdrawing away. Later, I was shocked by the setting of the scene. The recurring pale and dazzling streets and the integrated sky, only the backlit wall lines perpendicular to the road are clearly visible, the outlines of the flowers are looming under the strong light, and the powerful black projections flow with red spots. Or realistically sharpened staggered high-voltage lines. Existence! ! Psychedelic and firm existence.

The unpleasant thing is that the purpose is vague. The real world has always been set as an experimental breeding environment, but the existence of CYBIRA, the actions of KNIGHT, and the cause and purpose of Yingli Zhengmei's behavior are a bit too much to explain. Looking at Bi Yuyu's research, "the real material world, the online world and the human subconscious network" can actually see three worlds, strong. "The psychedelic drug of electronic products", this term has never appeared before, at least explain the effect! And you can see the "carbon coolant" in Chapter 12, hey, where did you say "carbon coolant", what is this? ! Another thing I can't stand is that the understanding of protocols and networks in the animation is completely ignorant and ridiculous;

Experimental works, there is no need to be ambiguous enough to deliberately escape the main line logic; even if this is also a part of the experiment, why bother to generate so many annotations on the Internet. Since we want to do cyberpunk, and engage in a combination of collective unconsciousness and network intrusion, why not take a deep cut, which is always inexhaustible. It really makes people suspect that Abe Yoshijun himself is obscure.

Hey, I actually made myself angry~~~
