| Well I get what's happening to Lain but completely lost on these Knights and Wired matters. Too random |
| More and more characters are getting NPC'd. Poor Lain. |
  "...fatih, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." "I began to trust the world [...] to give unforeseen goods and pleasures that I had not thought to want." |
| What's Going ON who ThE Fuck IS Who I Dk ANything |
 |
| Ah, so Lain really does have 2 personalities :o Getting more interesting, still dont understand much though. |
 |
| So she has two identities then. Could it be that her parents are distant from her because the Lain that they know is the "other" Lain and not this one? |

| Oh so the housewife(that creepy kid Shou's mom) and the fat guy are in the Knights(judging by that symbol that appeared twice) along with the Lain of the Wired who are trying to crumble the boundaries between the real world and Wired by using KIDS(still confused about how that works). And this KIDS thing is being emulated through the Phantomia game that the kids are playing. Maybe that's why Lain(of the Wired) appeared in the sky, with the kids worshipping her. Lain's family may not be her real family after all. I feel bad for the real Lain. She really isn't aware of what her other persona is doing. Also that dude with the blue eyes is the same dude who was following Lain in the second episode. Glad that it got cleared up. |
 |
| So let's see...the knights are some weird hacker group trying to pull off some villain-stuff They're using the leaked KIDS to do this And Lain has personality switch problem, and her internet persona works with knights? I'll probably need some explanation after the series |
| خ |
| Bro so im right that the person in wired and real world is not the same, like it's different consciousness.. but damn i still dont understand why the real world lain doesn't remember anything about her parents.. or her memory got erased or her family are faked one and actually the knights |
| so its pretty clear Lain has some sort of personality disorder since we did just see her switch, but the whole knights thing is confusing- like are they working with or against lain?? also Lain's family is still confusing to me, if they even are her family. Like first off like I said last episode they just seem absent in her life, and now she doesn't even know anything about them?? |
| Now I'm feeling that it is boring |
| The line between reality and the wired is about to crumbling. So there're two Lain, the Wired one and the one from reality, and some mysteries are solved. I hope the story won't go like Lain was an experiment result that lead to many clones or something like that would be pretty traumatized to watch |
 |
| Lain's online persona has taken on a life of its own. Her personality has come full circle, and her alter ego is now shaping her IRL self. |

| OMG this showjust keeps getting better honestly a must watch for anime fans |
| A motherboard with TWO ram slots?? This is the FUTURE The real focus right now is finding out who and what the Knights are and what is their objective. Perhaps Lain was even the one who founded this online organization. I guess they've realized that the wired has little restrictions in terms of jurisdiction and are taking full advantage of that to carry out whatever they're planning. This guy in the room that the two men in suits (nameless you say? Pretty sure KAAARRLLL is a name) brought Lain to wants to learn more about the Knights? Use them? Stop them? Just when you think that you're about to get answers, you get none (other than I guess finally clearly seeing Lain switch to her Wired self... and also getting grilled hard about her existence), and instead rack up on the questions. Been reading some reviews, and taking into consideration that these series of events isn't exactly linear, it makes everything appear at least a little less jumbled. Definitely have to pay attention more though. Also RIP to the delivery guy trying to hit on the mom. Good try I guess LOL |

 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| that was very interesting, a lot happened. there also was another mistake in the finnish subs :D "teidän" instead of "teidät" |

| Housewives portrayed to be fluid with computers? Indeed it is from an era where internet isn't the same dumpster fire as it is today |
 |
| Lain of the Wired is most definitely a part of the Knights. |
| Lain can switch from her internet personality without having to login that's crazy. are her parents real? I remember they showed us some scenes where the house was completely empty. and what's with that mom? is she a hacker too? |

| It seems that was the first linear episode of the series, what a trip |
Farhana_Luba said: good part, wonder if it will change in later eps.... gonna find outDes said: Is there really supposed to be a guy at the start of every ep that says "Present day. Present Time, hahaha"? :P That freaks me out EVERY FRIGGIN' TIME!!! If I hear that ever in real life, I might just have a cardiac attack and die!  |
