Since the Community Anime Reviews site frequently goes down for long periods of\u00a0 time, I\u2019m republishing some of my OG reviews from there. I have corrected obvious spelling errors though. I will add new notes in parenthesis, labeled \u201cANB\u00a0 note.\u201d\u00a0 \ud83d\ude05 I won\u2019t count these as part of the \u201cBack to the Vaults\u201d series as I have not rewatched them.<\/p>\n

Community Anime Review of Serial Experiments Lain<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

(ANB note: This series was originally reviewed on 10-Feb-2003.)<\/p>\n

C.A.R. Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lain Iwakura thought she was an ordinary 13-year old junior high school student until the day she received an e-mail from a classmate who committed suicide a week earlier. The e-mail claims that her classmate\u2019s soul had become a part of the wired world. Interested in the contents of the e-mail, Lain gets herself a new Navi (personal computer) so she can research for details regarding the e-mail\u2019s significance. As Lain becomes more involved in the activity of the wired world, she finds herself becoming increasingly well known by online users despite not having been in the wired world for too long.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Serial<\/a>Ah, another of the \u201cthinking persons\u201d anime titles. You know the type of anime that supposedly challenges your concepts of reality. People and places aren\u2019t exactly what they appear to be. Worlds collide (of computer and RW). Oh, and don\u2019t forget the symbolism \u2019cause it is everywhere!<\/p>\n

I agree with those reviewers who say they don\u2019t see a Matrix connection. Don\u2019t watch this thinking you are getting some sort of anime-Matrix clone.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t bore you with summary since there are plenty of reviews ahead of me with that. (ANB Note: I added the summary from the original review page.) I will tell you that this series did not live up to the hype. If you like anime where you can come up with your own \u201cdeep\u201d thoughts, you\u2019ll like this.<\/p>\n

Personally, I didn\u2019t care about all that nor did I ever care about Lain<\/a>. Had I made a connection with her, I suppose my rating would have been higher.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t say \u201cavoid\u201d this because it isn\u2019t that bad. Watch it for yourself and see if it lives up to all of the hype. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
