Description
Welcome! This channel is focused on anime and manga news, reviews, and commentary.
Home page: https://animearchaeology.com
I also host a live anime news and review show every Saturday night starting at 8:00pm Eastern (5:00pm Pacific, 1:00am GMT), right here on YouTube.
A few of my beliefs:
1. If you dislike a show, that doesn't mean I have to dislike it. And vice versa. We can like and dislike different things! And still talk about them.
2. Watching 1 or 2 episodes of a show, then deciding to stop watching it, is not "unfair" or "judging a book by its cover." Life's too short.
3. No single thing is killing the anime industry.
4. The Japanese do not have to make anime that appeals to Americans. Every country outside of Japan is a secondary market.
5. The existence of a comments box does not mean that every comment deserves eternal life.

Every time someone tells me that Neon Genesis Evangelion is confusing I tell them it's nothing compared to Serial Experiments Lain.

Two minor things, first, the japanese have a tradition of taking their shoes off before killing themselves, I noticed that the take was careful to show that Chisa kept hers on, saying that she believed she was "going on", and also, there are actually three Lains, Real World Lain, Lain of the Wired, and Evil Lain (who tries to hurt Lain and her loved ones), and they are actually spelled differently in the script (Romanji, kanji and I believe katakana), and it's apparent that Lain of the WIred is the one talking to Evil Lain , while Real World Lain watches and eventually tells them to stop.

the stuff about the aliens I felt was meant to visually show how something can become more 'real' as more people hear about it and believe it. Like Roswell basically was granted a second life through the internet and conspiracy forums. And as Lain herself became more and more of an internet legend the more she came to resemble the alien, because like the alien, she was given a new form through the beliefs of the wired. But hey, that's just my theory.

Thank you. I had a good grasp of what was going on but I had issues with connecting the dots. Well done.

Wait wait wait....You are saying that the earlier version (the one that existed since the Wired was created) of Lain, the Lain of the Wired, is the psychotic. I see the "phychotic" one, as the one who spread the rumor of Alice, that Lain tries to kill and that hugs Alice and asks her friends to go to Cyberia. (I believe she appears in those times only)

Ok, I still have a question, What was up with Lain's sister kind of losing her mind? Why did that happen? There is no closure.

i like that he mentions how production 2nd thought every interpretation was valid. lot of people want to say they "understand lain" when practically everybody who's seen serial experiments lain does. create your own meaning.

Well, that is a mystery, isn't it? ;-) I can think of a few possibilities:

Did the creators of the show really say that any interpretation is valid? Not doubting it but where did you hear that??? (0:35)

Wow your explanation of the series made the show 100 better for me now that i think back on it, i knew the show was highly complex and attempted to understand it but your explanation was incredible. Thanks for breaking the show down man
