Serial experiments: Lain

I finished Serial experiments lain recently, and I am gonna talk first about the so fucking good opening have, Boa-duvet it's an excellent election cause this song talks about identity, connection, something that the anime talks about very well.

Watching the anime makes me feel Lain's loneliness — the way her family treats her and her deep desire for connection. It shows how we search for that connection on the internet, and how this completely affects our perception of reality. It also reveals how everyone is somehow connected through this, and yet, at the same time, we lose the sense of importance of having a physical body.

Also, it's amazing that she doesn't actually exist, yet she sometimes seems to perceive emotions. I've read a lot about how Lain is seen as a representation of AI or even apps like TikTok. If you think about the similarities, it could definitely be interpreted that way.

I will surely think about this for a long time
