Finished #SerialExperimentsLain a while ago, thinking of watching #Pluto next!

I think it’s wild how Lain anticipated the psychological weight of a hyper-connected modern world. The retro-futuristic depiction of computers makes the art even more striking to watch.

I loved how concepts like the Wired and the Psyche chip feel similar to modern-day #Internet and #VR tech, especially with devices like the Vision Pro and #Meta's smart glasses becoming more common.

I also loved its portrayal of fragmented identity and distorted perception, and how that affected the plot, making it a bit of an open-ended mystery throughout the process of watching it.

Haven’t checked out the #PS1 game yet since it’s more of a time commitment, but I might get to it eventually.

Close-up of Lain Iwakura from Serial Experiments Lain, shown with short brown hair and large reddish-brown eyes, staring forward with a calm, detached expression. Her face is split by contrasting color tones, while the background layers bright green and orange circuit boards, digital patterns, and glitch-like textures, creating a surreal cyberpunk atmosphere that reflects the show’s themes of identity and networked technology.
