    Lain is one of those complex shows that I need to rewatch now as an adult because I’ve watched it when too young and didn’t really grasp it.

    Glad to see some love for my favorite anime. The creators other show, Haibane Renmei is just as good (but much weirder)

      Haibane Renmei is really, really good. I went in with zero expectations and was blown away. Won’t even say anything else - just watch it!

          It’s a beautifully sad anime, still play the album version of the free bird intro and blue flow song sometimes

        I just started HR on Monday, and finished it yesterday! Definitely the kind of show that’s greatly improved by knowing nothing about it going in. I imagine if I’d read any of the analyses about the haibane and the walls before watching it, it wouldn’t have entranced me like it did. Lain is at the top of my to-watch list, but I don’t know if I’m ready to watch it. I might watch something more lighthearted first.

        !It’s so rare for a show to introduce so many questions and mysteries and not answer a single damn one, and still be so good. The closest I can think of is Land of the Lustrous, but with that one I needed to read the manga and learn more. I don’t feel that need with HR; I’m satisfied with the end.!<

    Can’t wait to see the cluster Twitter/X is going to make out of this.

    I think this is pretty cool, a great concept perfectly fitting for Lain.

    The connecting to IP address is frustrating unless lain has an entirely different network stack…

    Don’t want to spoil it, but want to let you guys know even this sounds exiting, the website only admits corpo google login and if you want the full features it cost 20 dollars. Powered by OpenAI … so privacy concerned be advised

    @mo_lave i tried it out and it was kind of disappointing. She didn’t really “seem” like Lain, just chatGPT.

    Granted I don’t actually know what she’d have to say to seem authentic…but this ain’t it.

    Also service is unreliable, i have to send her each message several times because the server is overloaded.

    Those cels they’re raffling off make it tempting to sign up, except i know i wouldn’t win. I’d give my only remaining leg for an authentic production cel from Serial Experiments Lain.

      I’ll admit I haven’t tried it yet. I haven’t watched the show yet and just shared the news because they had the guts to pull this off. I was actually surprised Steins;Gate hasn’t released an Amadeus chatbot already. We’re at a point where Amadeus can be a quite convincing conversational partner.
