So, I just re-watched this series and apart from being utterly bewildered and philosophical, I was wondering if anyone else has watched this amazing anime. I don't want to give to much away, but this is pretty must what the DVD blur says anyway. The short series (13 episodes) is based on the life of eighth grader Lain, a shy and seemingly immature girl. Her class mate, Chisa, commits suicide; the class is shocked when many girls receive email from Chisa. The anime is based on the evolution of technology (it's about 10 years old) and follows Lain's gradual involvement in the Wired (internet). So it's pretty full on and after watching it 3 times my brain still explodes, but it really is amazing. Any one else seen it? Also, there is a short (9 page) manga of Lain kicking around too, but this is more of an omake.
