First, Lain needs to be better than Texhnolyze and Haibane Renmei, then we can start thinking about other things.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

I am a big Lain fan and it's one of my favourite anime and in my opinion the best anime ever made or at least ine of them
I disagree with saying it's objectively better than anyone's favourites.
Lain is a great anime and I really love it, but it's for a specific kind of viewer, not everyone will get it and there's nothing wrong in that, is it a great and well made anime? Absolutely, but as every good story, it isn't for everyone, it's the best or one of the best for people who like the style, but it's a style that also alienates other people and I can think of many people I know who won't like it, not because they are iliterate, but because the style is something that absolutely won't work for everyone
Saying the show is better than everyone's favourites is also extremely pretentious, why do other Lain fans can be so pretentious at times?

I accept that 9 experts out of 10 will consider Lain better than my favorite anime. I personally found about 1000 anime that I enjoyed more than Lain, but I respect it for this reason.

Nope I ain't gonna accept it. I love my favorite anime. I choose which anime is my favorite anime and which anime is better. Everybody has different taste and preferences and liking or disliking an anime is a subjective matter. So just chill and watch anime ( I don't get enough time to watch anime due to my studies 😭)

I tried watching it. It made me sleepy, so I dropped after 1 episode. Which is rare for me.

I don't know about that, but the grey alien is probably better than your favorite character.

I need to rewatch it buuuut.... probably not. even in it's own genre it's not as good as sonny boy.

but jokes and bias aside, even if lain was objectively the best anime ever made, your post would still be wrong in cases where lain is the person's favourite anime.

@Serafos the OP provides zero proof and evidence. Therefore, there is no reason to believe in him. Besides, your "favorite anime" is merely an opinion. And it has no factual basis to begin with.

@DesuMaiden actually very funny considering the subject of the topic is Lain since Lain puts a lot of emphasis on the theme truth and proof and evidence of it... Very funny to see a topic claiming Lain to be the best anime in an objective sense without evidence

SEL is overhyped. It's an alright show, but people make it out to be way better than it is. The art is well done but the story is meh.

Nice attempt at ragebait though, you almost really had me. You also gave Akira a 9, and your scoring is an 8.50 average. Maybe spend a few years watching other stuff and then you'll realize that SEL wasn't that great after all.

i guess it could be true since i haven't seen it, but i highly doubt it.

it's in my plan to watch list, but isn't of the highest priority, from the outside looking in, it has an air of pretentiousness surrounding it and sounds kind of boring, but i'll give it a fair shot one day.
