Lain and Arisu didn't kiss. 1/10 anime. Was hoping for some hot steamy action when "god" told them to "connect"

Next and final episode probably: Lain becomes "god", dominates the entire world and rewrites history, probably

Humans are good as they are, evolving up to perfection will only prevent us from being what we are. Thus, we can't trascend time but from a collective standpoint. I may be getting sidetracked, but this show truly tackles it all, arguably including some of humanity's most relevant debates ever. In that sense, this has to be one of the greatest, either you agree or not with its philosophy. And not to mention the execution itself. It's really something special. Can't wait to see how it ends.

So, we near the end and everything is coming to a close. Something tells me this series will end with the end of the world or something like that. I'm glad Alice was utilized the way she was. I always recognized her as truly the only person Lain connects with, and so it was nice seeing her be what helps Lain understand things about what it means to be human. The final scene with Jester makeup (as I like to call him) was delightfully thematic, with Lain sitting in-between a human and a god like figure, making her caught between both worlds. As for where the series goes after this, I don't have the slightest clue, which is good. For all it's worth I'll say that Serial Experiments Lain is one of the more unique pieces of media I've seen in regard to its presentation. Coming so far, I can't say I enjoyed the series, but experienced it, and that's more than enough for me.

it's very impactful to see Arisu and Lain's interaction leading to Lain realizing the value of her body/the real world etc.

I love Lain. At first, i thought this would be something simple, or cliche, in wich lain becomes a kind of god and kills everybody. Now, i think Lain became a human, more than anything.
