It's really weird that such an obscure cyberpunk work is actually a lily in the end.

When lain was released in 1998, we were still middle school students, happily watching Slam Dunk and Maruko every day. Even if we have reached the age of real uncles today, our brains who are used to watching commercial anime will not be able to understand unless psyche is implanted. The corona sound of the high-voltage line that runs through the whole play and the red and black spots in the reflection make us feel depressed and even fearful. After listening to the OP several times in a loop, my heart gradually warms up, probably a GE.
Alice keeps an eye on lain, and lain sees Alice as the only solace in the real world. The lain in the network constantly refreshes people's views on lain, lain is unmoved, but when the god lain stretches his claws to alice and causes him to be greatly hurt, lain can only rely on god and get higher authority to change people to protect Alice, but Alice was terrified of such a lain. Then Alice found that her memory had not been changed and questioned lain, but found that lain was connected to various data cables, and resolutely used her chest to seduce lain (the fog is salvation), and later the two were deceived by false gods. Yingli Zhengmei entangled with tentacles, lain was furious, and turned into a true god to destroy him. Unexpectedly, Alice was broken (Lin regrets it, so it's better for everyone to not know about some things later), for Alice, lain can only reluctantly reset the world to make Alice back to normal. At the end of the film, lain meets alice and finds that although alice is familiar with her, she doesn't know who she is.

    A collection of nightmares, a rare Japanese animation with pure avant-garde consciousness. The best we can get when anime touchs avant-grade. ★★★★☆

    It feels that the popularity of the Internet in the mid-to-late 1990s inspired a huge wave of creative creations involving the separation of human bodies and wills. The world was cut off by new inventions and depersonalized. The opposite of each utopia has several dystopias (this work Light and shadows on ordinary streets in China), and many of the original imaginations about the media at that time are now gradually coming true. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the blood-red characters "Prophecy を実行せよ" in this work are particularly a priori and especially creepy. Lenovo "Beat in the Shell", the impact of technology on the body of female characters seems to be mostly subtraction (the separation of will and body, the physical body is abandoned or simply does not exist), while on male characters (at least visually) Are you doing additions (exposed units and props that enhance bodily functions)? Human beings' attempt to connect the world is itself an act of creating gods, and this "artificial god" is a terrifying piece of software that is ubiquitous, omniscient, and can be restarted infinitely; but gods themselves are also essences, and her essence lies in herself. As the emotional, physical void of "people", this void itself is also a metaphor for contemporary society.

Serial Experiments Lain quotes

  • 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.

  • Lain Iwakura: Why? Why did you die?

    Navi [Dictating Chisa's response]: God is here.
