confusion! me like :)

*sigh*
-__- What a boring first episode.

That hairstyle and shyness kinda reminds me of Hinata from Naruto.

Whoah.

The name of episode suits for anime. I hope next episodes would be more dinamic, more weird and more mysterious.

Having seen the show, this is probably my favorite episode of them all. The shots in this episode are just incredible -- Lain stepping out of thin air is a great shot.

In some weird way, I think that this is the easiest episode to understand in the whole show. It makes way more sense on a rewatch though.

TRIPPY.

Also, I knew something had to be up with the amt of shots of electrical wires we were getting. I mean yes I know those things are background essentials but they were getting way too much screentime LOL

Man, I've heard of Lain for a long time now (and also been wanting to watch it for a long time now), and now, I've finally got to watching it after years! =D

Anyway, this is a lot like The Matrix, in many ways. Does anyone else get this same feeling?

It is VERY much like The Matrix. Especially the ending.

Haha, sweet, I ain't the only one here! Haha, can't wait to see the rest, then! =D Yeah, just like how Neo senses that something's strange about the world he lives in at the beginning of the 1st Matrix movie, Lain notices something strange about the world, and the rest, well, you all know the whole she-bang =)

Storytelling slightly reminded me Boogiepop and that's good, will definitely continue to watch it.

I've tried to watch this anime 4 times already. The first and second episode are just too much to bear. Lets hope this time will be better. Even though its not looking so good since i've already xed out my browser in the middle of episode 2 twice.

What is this I don't even

This is so oldschool. I kind of love it. Been meaning to watch this for years. This is definitely really effing weird.

I thought it was an interesting episode, but of course it doesn't make much sense unless you watched through the whole series.

It begins with Chisa Yomoda being the first one called out of the real world by the God of the Wired. The idea was, she began to disconnect more and more from the real world as she got more involved with the Wired.

Lain has energy perception, and is in fact a psychic. She sees the psychic energy from her aura through her shadow. And has a psychokinetic effect on electrical devises. One might say she has EHS.

Lain begins seeing that the real world is not as real as it seems. She begins losing touch with reality, including the reality of herself, from the very beginning. Her experiences with reality is a lot like derealization.

Lain is not very good with computers, but after recieving Chisa's e-mail, she begins connecting more with the Wired, and becoming more technologically inclined with computers.

You see that there are certain places on the streets that are obscured in colour. These symbolize the energy by which everything material is made from.

One of Lain's first psychic experiences is when she sees blood dripping from the telephone powerlines. This is after the train crashes into a girl who deliberately jumps infront of the train as a suicide. Then in school, Lain has a vision of the girl who died by the train tracks.

Overall, I loved this episode! So deep, mysterious, and entertaining! ^^

this anime is scary T_t...... creepy.............
weird<<< T_t.

To put it bluntly: This anime is not for kids.
... - Even though the DVD I bought said "Suitable only for persons of 12 years and over", Serial Experiments Lain is so deep that no 12 year old would get it.

hey motherfucker when i first saw this anime i was 12 years old no joke that was like 2 years ago im 14 now... i loved it and it has been my favorite anime ever since and i understood everything(well not EVERYTHING i had to go to thought experiments lain.com to answer just a few questions i had)

Yeah, and there ya have it, I'm sure you're not the only one. Let me rephrase what I said: It's not likely that any person below 12 would get the picture, understand what's going on in Lain. Or even *how* the things happen. I'm also a kid, yet I'm saying that this anime is not for kids. Why is that, you think? It's a sensible statement.

I really, really like this, but I can tell it's going to be a difficult watch...that episode was intense and painful in such a subtle way...I can't even describe it.
(oh god I sound so pretentious xDD)
Why did this all make so much sense to me?! xD I mean..not ALL of it made sense, and it was weird and screwed up as fuck, yeah, but I didn't think it was that confusing, really.
Although it is 3am in the morning where i'm at. Logic can get pretty screwed in the early hours of the morning.
I love Lain. So, so much.<3
