Planescape: Torment

Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Lain is the only anime series I’ve watched and I haven’t watched any others because I’m worried it wont be as good and I’ll waste my time

I'd say at the very least you should watch evangelion and cowboy bebop

Unironically watch Madoka

those are 2 I’ve been curious about. I loved the pacing in Lain so much, the slow and quiet parts. I’ve avoided most anime because it all seems so over the top. I have watched some of Satoshi Kon’s movies though

>mfw the premise of texhnolyze sounds like it should be the best shit but it really isn't
My favorite anime is probably Mushishi

Soma

I had a VHS tape as a kid with the first couple episodes of Lain. It looked cool but I never saw the rest.

Watch Planetes.

evangelion felt pretentious

I got that feeling from the last couple episodes, but I later found out they were like that due to budget problems that killed his initial plans for the show.

>when you're so sleep deprived the picture seems like it's zooming closer and closer onto her face
holy shit

None of my friends love Lain. I wish I could change their mind.

If you love lain, I pretty much guarantee you'll love eva

Give it a chance, even if seems like a generic mecha show at first it becomes something entirely different by the end

Honestly, I don't understand how people can like Lain. The theme song is great and I like the art style but I don't like how the story being told. I think people just like it because it's pretentious and because muh cute anime girl. Arisu best girl because unlike Lain, her character is much believable.

>Boku No Pico
Otherwise, good list, just add Monster and Planetes

>I don't understand it, therefore it's pretentious and people only like it because of that

Tell me why you like it then.

Because it has a cool atmosphere and an engaging mystery, and when I played the game, I felt an emotional connection to Lain as a character. Nobody who calls this series pretentious ever explains why it is pretentious.
