| Summary: |
Lain is influenced by philosophical subjects such as reality, identity, and communication. The series focuses on Lain Iwakura, an adolescent girl living in suburban Japan, and her introduction to the Wired, a global communications network similar to the Internet. Lain lives with her middle class family, which consists of her inexpressive older sister Mika, her cold mother, and her computer-obsessed father. The first ripple on the pond of Lain's lonely life appears when she learns that girls from her school have received an e-mail from Chisa Yomoda, a schoolmate who committed suicide. When Lain receives the message at home, Chisa tells her (in real time) that she is not dead, but has just "abandoned the flesh", and has found God in the Wired. From then on, Lain is bound to a quest which will take her ever deeper into both the network and her own thoughts. |

Definitely this is the weirdest anime I've ever seen. Some parts are really slow, but then the story builds-up and takes your breathe away. Somehow, the main plot in SEL reminds me of a Kill Switch episode from a very popular TV Show"The X Files". Story is thought-provoking, a little confusing, I might need a second watch. Some anime fans compred this show with Texhnolyze, but Serial Experiment Lain is a unique anime creation that nobody could repeat. I also liked twisted music themes and creepy animation that created weird atmosphere. I would love to see more of this.
