[Greetings to the newcomer to gopherspace "Christyotwisty"]
In some of the phlogs I have read a few people mentioned the anime
"Serial Experiment Lain" ( sorry couldn't find the refrences ). It is
a cyberpunk themed phycological thriller, and since this is the kind
of genre that really apeals to me, I have decided to watch the entire
series ( which is only 13 episodes ).
This show is really good in my opinion. The animation looks low
budget, as there are many shots that are basically still frames, but
the fantastic writing completly makes up for the poor visuals. There
is a lot of complexities and vagueness, and every question is awnsered
with more questions; If you scroll through the youtube comments half
of them say "What the fuck is going on?!". In spite of this I felt
completely intrigued, I wanted to watch more to try to figure things
out.
This is one of those shows like "Mr Robot" where once you get to the
end, the ending redifines the whole show and you have to rewatch the
series to make sense of things. I think I might watch the anime
again, I might even take notes!
I would definatly recomend this show. The entire series is available
on youtube if you would like to watch it for free:
