Summary: Lain
Review: This is by far the wierdest anime I have ever seen in my entire life. The story is so spectacularly amazing, you will kill to get the next volume. It is a very well made dub, except lain, the main character, has a bad voice actor. It doesn't really matter, actions speak louder than words in this series anyway. It's rated mature not for gratuitous violence, nudity, or buckets of gore, but for a very adult storyline that will have you questioning your own existence. It's really out there, It's even almost as good as the vision of Escaflowne.

Summary: Strangely addicting
Review: After seeing the first episode, I couldn't decide whether I loved it or hated it. One thing was for sure, I had to see more of it. A dark and twisted tale in a world that would result from cyber-punk meeting David Lynch, it is mind-boggling how the show can have so much depth with so little happening. No sex, violence, or mechs, it is still the most creepy and disturbing film I have ever seen. If you don't mind shows that mess with your head, this one is not to be missed.

Summary: BRILLIANCE IN IT'S PUREST FORM
Review: I'M SITTING HERE IN FRONT OF MY NAVI STRUGGLING FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY TO GIVE THIS MASTERPIECE ITS DUE JUSTICE, BUT ALL I CAN COME UP WITH IS THAT IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! IT IS DEFINITELY HANDS-DOWN THE GREATEST SERIES I HAVE EVER HAD THE FORTUNE OF EXPERIENCING! THIS ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE EVERYDAY VIOLENT, BUBBLEGUM JAPANIMATION... IT IS SO FAR BEYOND THAT. THIS MAKES YOU QUESTION YOUR TRUE EXISTENCE, THE MEANING OF LIFE, LOVE, MORTALITY/IMMORTALITY, DEATH, ETERNITY. IT'S NOT ONLY EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING, BUT IN A WAY MAKES YOU REVIEW YOUR LIFE AND IN THE END EVEN TEACHES YOU A FEW VALUABLE LESSONS. I'M SERIOUS, THIS IS EVERYTHING YOU WANT. IT HAS YOU SCRAMBLING FOR ANSWERS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND WILL LEAVE YOU THAT WAY ALL THE WAY TO THE FINAL LAYER. IT'S EXTREMELY ADDICTING IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! THE ENDING WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND TEARS IN YOUR EYES.THE WRITERS, CREATORS, AND ANIMATORS FALL NO WHERE SHORT OF ABSOLUTE GENIUSES! SCRAPE TOGETHER ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE AND BUY THIS SERIES. IT WILL BE THE BEST PURCHASE YOU COULD POSSIBLY MAKE! GOODNIGHT NAVI.

Summary: Definitely not for everyone
Review: Not your typical Ranma, UY or Tenchi type of anime. No cutesy stuff, no spectacular explosions, no mechas. Lots of questions and nowhere near enough answers. Great story if you don't mind it being fed to you in bits and pieces. If you're the impatient type you may want to wait until all volumes are available.

Summary: Masterpiece, I'd say...
Review: Serial Experiments Lain is one of the best, most haunting animes I've ever seen. The animators, the writers, and the director are geniuses. The way they put everything together, how the music is quiet and subdued, words are minimal and every word counts...in a way that isn't necessarily slow but the suspense lingers on and on...slowly building. It's amazing how fast I got hooked. People, this is *no* Sailormoon. This is a mature thriller that's extremely difficult to put down.

Summary: Deep, silent and disturbing
Review: Lain is definitely no ordinary anime. Besides the fact that most of the time the main character is still - staring at her computer screen - almost every scene hides a foresight of a future drama, a quiet yet creepy whisper of a world rumbling down, as Lain gets into the secrets of the wired network and learns about who she really is. A must-see for even those who don't like anime - most worshiped real-motion films around there are no match for this spectacular animation.

Summary: The Best I've seen yet!
Review: This is the best anime movie I've seen yet! I has a lot of long silence spaces in the movie but really the less words the better it seems. It's very dramatic and very dark kind of. I really loved it and I was hooked after buying the first video! I have now bought every other one that I can get my hands on.

Summary: Log on to the wired
Review: Hello navi, Hello Lain.Lain is a very weird tale of the borders of reality breaking down. When i first watced this anime I got sick and bored. I could not stand the picture, the story or how quiet it was or that horrid humming from the wire cables. The only thing that got me through the first time was seeing her in her bear costume.However after the first viewing I went and watched it again and I really liked it. It grew on me and I just had to know what was going on and what was going to happen to lain. At first you don't like something just watch it again and now I have all the lain dvds. This is definately a wierd show but give it a chance and log on the to the wired.

Summary: Intriguing and Intellectual
Review: If you want an Anime that is full of guts and gore and lots of violence, then Lain is definately not for you. Lain is a story about the border between reality (or what we percieve to be real) and the world of the Wired. Be prepared to be extremely confused at first, the first few episodes leave you with a lot of unanswered questions. Everything will eventually be revealed though, through an ingenius plot that will leave you wanting more.

Summary: 5 stars? No way- 6 stars!
Review: It's the best anime I have ever seen! Nothing could possibly be better than the Lain series. The dark theme makes it mysterious and extremely compelling. With each layer, it becomes more intriguing. I strongly suggest you see it. And to those that don't like it? They don't have any taste.
