Serial Experiments Lain - Navi (Layers 1-4) (Geneon Signature Series)

Rating:
Summary: Essential Anime
Review: I can't add anything new to the comments that have already been left here, but I believe this series in groundbreaking. It's subtle, entrancing, and thought-provoking in ways that other series are often not. Every image counts, and it improves upon multiple viewings. A thinking person's video, even more so than Evangelion.

Summary: A Fine Series
Review: Well, unless you are reallllly unintelligent, Lain will appeal to you. The first Disc/Tape will get you interested. The second will get you hooked. From there you will be begging for the rest, enough said. In the world that we are in, its only appropriate that a Series like Lain come out. Being that you are in The wired now, you might as well find out what might happen if you stay, hehehehe. Like the beginning of each episode says...."Present day, Present time, HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Summary: Lain: Be prepared for the Long Haul
Review: Watching Lain is like conducting a siege: you have to commit to it to be successful. My wife and I watched Volumes 1 and 2 and, despite the ethereal beauty, were really considering shelving the whole thing because of the pacing. Then Volume 3 came and -- *click* -- parts started falling into place; we couldn't wait to get Volume 4 into the VCR. Yes, the story slowly unfolds, but you don't just watch Lain, you immerse yourself in it. By the end, the journey you thought you had started out on leads you to a completely unexpected destination. Surreal, thought-provoking... but requires discipline and patience.

Review: I picked this up on a whim, and now the only thing I regret is that I have to wait for my next paycheck to buy the next one. There is a reason there are already a ton of fan sites for 'lain'. They are really good. Okay, so nothing is original(here or anywhere else anymore), but it is a highly creative, engrossing series. From everything I hear, Knights, Deus, and Reset are just as good if not better. . . I'm not sure if I'll actually be sensible and wait for that next check.

Summary: There isn't any excuse for NOT watching this
Review: There is absolutely no reason why anybody can't watch this. It's like one of those strange and beautiful dreams that we all have from time to time. It's so strange and mysterious yet so beautiful we never want to wake up. That's how this movie is. If you haven't seen it already then GO BUY IT! It's really really really really good

Summary: One of those rare things that teach you something.
Review: I think that Serial Experiments Lain is one of the most amazing things I've ever watched.It's obviously influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion, so it isn't original at all, but I think that those who made this anime didn't want to copy Evangelion.They've done an excellent work, it's very complicated and it teach you something,well...I think that.The main caracter(Lain)is amazing, she's very shy but during the series she changes many times. It keeps your atention all the time and you have to pay atention to all the little details.I think that it isn't as good as Evangelion but it's right to put it five stars.It's simply excellent.

Summary: a sci-fi must ! ! !
Review: ive ordered this anime,hoping it would bring back "Ghost In The Shell" memories.....instead,it started a whole new craze...im totally satisfied with it and have added all the other DVDs to my wishlist and am planning to purchase them soon... What's so great about it...the art is absolutely wonderful,the story is X-Files like but in a Japanese way.....and the most important thing is that it resembles some aspects of our lives nowadays...the obsession with the net"WIRED" is the most apparent aspect.....i can't wait to buy the rest of the series.

Summary: Not a 5 but still worth it.
Review: I very much enjoyed the introspective moody, weird and creepy feeling that is Lain Navi but I felt as if I was watching a show about computers written by people who knew nothing of them. Four stars from me. I'm sure my complaint is due to time and story constraints so see it anyway but if you are expecting 5 stars think 4 then you won't be disappointed.
