please only chat if you have seen the anime, mainly because if there is anyone here that wants to see it,
look it up on google ...
or id try the cyberia cafe

but for starters who has seen it?

==================================================

*raises hand* Me me! I've seen it! I own it! Good anime, quite confusing though. And short. Now what?

it was ok i didnt follow the story much

well I am glad to see some here have seen it,
to start off

does anyone have any questions, I've spent most of my life in search of answers and would like to help some dedicated followers out, because it is such a great anime...

i'll be here,
waiting

I've seen it, and own it, all 13 eps of the OVA... It's very very deep... but that's my taste in Anime.... deep. I like action and fighting as much as anyone, but a good, deep, cerebral, "thinking man's" anime is what I like.

Oh alright! I have a question! What happened to the sister? The real one? Did she get killed or something? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, its been almost a year since I've watched Lain)

Sai12, her parents slash sister never excised,
they were programs,
that's why lain could never remember her birthday,
or any celebration for that matter, my take on it was the knights had been hacking her program,

when she lost it and started seeing "fulfil the prophesy" and ether Erie of his counter part in the real world, (that guy who hired the two men in black) decided it was better to just replace her... remember that seen where Milka just dissolves...

the anime series was great it made you think of how and why the upper functions of the human mind work...

Oh I see. I just remember it confusing me when I saw that part where the sister sees herself and then fades out. Thanks for the explanation. And I know it takes some intelligence to appriciate an anime such as this one. I know plenty of people who would just not watch it since it is "too deep" for them. Ahh well, thanks again!

the brilliance of this anime is only limited by the viewers mind,

I'm thinking of starting an RP of lain in the RP forum obviously,

but i was wondering who would be interested...
any takers?

How would that work out exactly? *ponder*

well Ive known people who have done that

like not really use people from the anime, just make up people, small back story, and talk about life and the wired, kind like tato, and his friends...

and be in situations, like lain, talk about life, and its similarities to the wired...

sai12, reply i know your on...

Haha, well, that works, get my attention with a NEW next to the thread. I think a pm would have worked as well. :P

Sounds like a cool idea, just I am willing to bet I'll have to watch LAIN again to be able to.

lol, sail12 the thing is is you {personality can do a 180} like in lain, and we should try to act like that, and once we have some more people we can just transfer over to the RP forum...

You're gonna have to walk me through this. Tee hee....*hold out hand* Be my leader! *wink*

I'm right here,

I'm right next to you

forever...

(favorite lain quote)

Just curious, how many times have you watched the series?

lost count,
when i first got it i watched it all the way through, and i got to start watching it at 8 o'clock

pm

That's just weird...

Anyway you finished it all in one sitting? Crazy stuff! I had to span it out over a couple of days. It kinda fried my brain. Tee hee.

i just loved it, because it applied to my life so well

No no, I was saying that's weird because your post went into two separeate things....

No sad face! No no no! Tee hee!

You can appy your life to LAIN somehow?

well i can give you the abridged version of my life or the hole bloody story, but no one really wants to hear about other peoples problems...

funny how i am sitting here refreshing my screen every 10 seconds..

Can't believe there aren't more people responding to this thread though...ah well. They'll come around. Seems things move slowly around here.

And for some perverse reason, or otherwise, I do like hearing about people's lives. For the most part anyway. Though I always wish I could help, and I can't. *sigh*

Just I can't see how you can appy a weird sci-fi anime to your life.

But I do remember thinking when I watched LAIN that it was pretty cool, and a strikingly similiar to our own world. In its own weird way. Though it got pretty wacked out towards the end....

Haha, don't worry, I find myself doing that sometimes too.

And the reason I'm kinda slowish to respond to your posts is that I dont' wanna be doing that right now! So I'm digging around in the pages further back.

i thought when i started it that it would have a lot more posts to...

o well

so my life like lain,

well for one being "disconnected" from life,
or the social aspect of it,
and what we are supposed to do in our life,
or rather whats expected of us...

I'm a social outcast too! Erm, not something to be proud of. What's expected of you? *raises eyebrow*

i was raised "Mormon" among other things, family stuff

Ah well, onto happier topics....like....

ooh! I love Serial experiments Lain! My cousin showed me it!
It is so interesting!
I am on episode 5 (ebayer still hasn't sent the rest.. grrr...) but I have watched 1-4 about 6 or 7 times I love the theme tune!

Just watched it about a month ago. Kept hearing how good it was and finally decided to check it out. Sort of trippy but a good series none the less.

though I sort of wish they would have explained how she actually go the money to set up all that equipment in such a short time.....
