Lain

How did you interpret the story of this show?

Alice in Wonderland. Wonder means cyber this time.

I love lain!

I didn't understand the story at all so I just spam lyrics from the opening in every single Lain thread without discussing anything

I did not, because that would ruin the anime. It is an experience - kinda like listening to Masonna or Merzbow. You do not ask "Why?".

Protocol 7 has been backdoored to merge the Wired and the real world, Lain is some sort of manifestation of the Wired IRL and is the key to the success of that merge. Lain thinks this is a bad idea and decides to disappear and let people live normally.
I still don't seem to understand what happened to her sister, though.

True patrician.

Lain is the "Catcher in the Rye" of anime.
And I hated the latter.

AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

Who was the alien appearing behind the door in episode 8(or ep 9)?

Funnily enough, when the director was asked why he choose the OP song and its significance, he replied "Because it sounds cool". There is no meaning behind any of it, nothing to understand. Pretentious tripe.

I found a box set at a con I went to Saturday for $40. So good enough for that.

This is this the (wo)mans who understands: I only for firet time wathed this televion and I even noticated, whilset yes, Cool and Amosic taims of Digital Epherance and MUSATE (haha aeiou don't seem to undastud), all for what oversatuated a cause a 1 sumple noticed: LAIN and the main charachete of televion Serial Enerimants Lain (Lain or SEL for short) is actually pure they anischeral in the Classical sense of the word.

All signatiaries are there in PRINT plain and present as day at this time but dont just look me look no further:
SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN ExPlay 1:
-Gets a TEXT (in PRINTED CCHARETES) from the SUICIDE GIRL. Uhh -- Really? Come on!
-Has she has sckull before? Not likely considering LITERALLY enticanc of exact OPPONENT to soschemial epherance.
Serial EXPERIMENTS lain ExPlay 2:
-Handels a machure taims: Drag abuse: in such a digital manner can only asciesce one thing: He they and friends dodn't Respect the Power of Addition. A symplication of Anischerality.
SEREAL EXPERIMENTS lain lain ExPlay 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10 I went beyond, not even going to Meniton other than one small words of advice: You've gotta have ADDittion to Boaring Shit to watch through this spart. What even was happening? Like I skip One it's so Boring and there's Nothing at all (3) and then I can't even Follow what's following me after rest and so I skip them too?

Irregulatiless, So Sa 12-13, They're Really Enitence for my point:
Sesenale Elsebian Lain not Onley Goes Balsephimus to serial's lain's best serial friend Alisu but JESUS who Came Down to The Earth TWICE to stop her Gets Killed: TWICE and then She assends the throne.
I was abast with abelief to See Her ascent the Mountain of Corpses of Blood on Her Hands (The NiGHTs) to Userp the Chair from Lain's the FATHER (not JESUS) and become Pizza Summa Laude. Now THAT's Anischeral.

Abelievabel.

I don't care about the story, I just love Lain.

Secret society creates an android meant to combine the reality of the truth with the reality that we communicate to create a perfect world and decide the best way to do that is to make her a young girl in Japan. Lain eventually discovers the Wired, realizes that it's more than just what think of the Internet, and finds out that she has unlimited power there and through that figures out she has the same kind of powers just about anywhere because she bridges the Wired and reality. After more than a bit of existential crisising, paranoia, and plenty of people lying to her, she says fuck it, kill her creators, and deletes herself from the reality of the truth.

She wasn't in the loop and when she realizes that everything she thought she knew was a lie and that her little sister is a reality-bending god she snaps.

Well, I'm an honest man, so I got fucking nothing.

No idea. Was too young and stupid to even have a chance at this one when I saw it.
