Serial Experiments Lain [Blu-ray]

Great quality, but be aware that these discs are for the European players

If u've ever been on the quest for searching for the best anime of all time, well in my opinion, its Serial Experiments Lain. This anime is so dark and so perfect , my mind and every fiber of my being gives it 100% of attention while watching the series. Just yesterday i found myself rewatching a few episodes of Lain, and i was suprised when i noticed that all of a sudden i had a smile on my face with all my teeth showing, because i couldnt beleive that a human being could write such a twisted, perverted masterpiece. With every second of Lain that passes by, my body feels like im with a woman, on narcotics or REALLY strong pain killers, because those are the only times ive smiled so big in the past. Its rare when u find an anime so well proportioned, and addicting. Alot of Animes start of really well, but then turn into a snooze fest. For example, i tried my very best 2 like Darling in the Franxx anime, it started out FANTASTIC, but then the show just dragged on and on and eventially i felt like i was being punished just by watching the show. Got 22 episodes deep in to Darling in the Franxx but for the life of me, could not watch the last 2 episodes. Anyways back to Lain, if you are looking in to buying the Japanese limited edition Serial Experiments Lain Restore blu-ray, and you have never seen the show before, i suggest putting a hold on that idea for now because it is extremely expensive, even if its used. I suggest buying a standard dvd or blu ray edition 1st, then after you see what all the hype is about, you can decide for yourself if you want to invest a small fortune in this cult classic anime boxset. I started off with the bluray/dvd combo, but when i was done with the 13 episode paragon, 1 copy of Lain was not enough for me. I had to purchase the most expensive Lain box set which is the Japanase Restore edition, followed by the 2nd most expensive Lain boxset etc. Long story short, i ended up with 7 differenent Serial Experiments Lain Boxsets because i felt i needed to own every different version ever released. Ive seen alot of animes and trust me, its RARE to see an anime so well designed. If u enjoy shows such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Phantom Requiem for the Phantom, Darker than Black, Re:Zero, Tokyo Ghoul, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Claymore, RIN, Black Lagoon, Vision Of Escaflowne, Fate Stay Night, Sword Art Online, Berserk, Birdy the mighty, Death Note, then you will absolutely love Serial Experiments Lain, no doubt.

I wouldn’t recommend to people i know since not many people enjoy it so unless you really like cyber related things i would not recommend Its actually peak very much umazing

This series not only opened my eyes...it literally changed my life. I've experienced the whole series many times, always letting it probe my mind to provoke thoughts I didn't know existed. This isn't a review, if you want to know what the series is like, watch it, or rather let it watch you. After studying the series for a while I became deeply interested in computers, computer science, philosophy, mind-expansion, and theory. I related to Lain on such a personal level that the show almost seemed to transcend the subtext of it just being a work of fiction. But then again Serial Experiments Lain blurs the thin boundary that is reality and the virtual. The concepts and information shown at parts is very much worth looking into as well (E.I. Shuman resonance (commonly)7.83Hz). The integration into the story seems entirely possible in the future. The concept of the wired is in itself one of the most intriguing and glorious things i've ever heard of. Cyberpunk nirvana I suppose would be a way of looking at it. I could write for days on this work of art, but i'll limit myself here. If you do decide to watch it, you must commit to the whole series, or you'll probably be confused or misled. The series comes full circle like i've rarely seen any other do before. On a side note, the series is also an incredible psychonaut tool :D - Don't pass this one up.

If this series didn't make you sit down and think about your own perceptions of reality then you definitely didn't get this series. I spent a large portion of this series thinking it was highly influenced by the Matrix... until I looked at the date and found that "Serial Experiments Lain" was out well before the Matrix. Now I wonder if the Matrix was influenced by this. Part of me says it must have been! Ah well, that's what I get for watching things so long after they came out. Either way I did quite enjoy this series' philosophical concepts quite a bit. The animation and story sequence is very surreal on both fronts. To be honest, I wasn't very into the way it was "filmed". It was very disruptive and always made you question what you were watching. I realize this is pretty much the whole point, but they almost did TOO good of a job blurring the scenes of reality and the virtual, which is basically the whole series concept. Just part of me wishes the lines were a little more well defined, so I wouldn't have to constantly be assaulted with "is this real?" However, it forces you to really think about what you're watching, so my preferences aside this is insanely well thought out! "Serial Experiments Lain" is about questioning the perceptions of reality and how you define yourself as a real person or as a virtual person. I assume this was influenced by the explosion of the internet and how people represent themselves as they'd like to see themselves, not how they are in the real world. So "Serial Experiments Lain" asks the question of it's viewers about how they see their real selves, and which one is, in fact, more real? The story circles around a girl named Lain and you never quite know if she's a person in the real world, or if she's a construct in the virtual world. But how different is the real world versus the virtual world? I'm not going to claim that I understood every little detail of this series, but it appears to be quite well researched because it references scientists that worked on these concepts, and even the concept of a global conscious network (basically our current connection without the computer hardware). Bizarre occurrences happen when Lain is interacting with the real world, people either go mad, or they die, sometimes both. I imagine this is due to the fact that blurring the two lines that much forces people to wonder who they are and their brains just snap on the pressure. Lain is a real consciousness, of course, but her concept of "self", as it is proposed is just software. An executable file, as the show states. This also brings us to the question of deity, as in who programmed this executable file? God? One thing I loved was that the series proposes that the consciousness of mankind could overcome whatever humanity perceives as deity, because it asks the question of "who made you God?" By what right do you rule our species and world? And also presents the concept that God is only God if that deity has worshippers, even if there is just one. Something very close to a theory I have quite often pondered upon. So what happens if there are no more worshippers? Is that deity still God? If not then what is God? As you can see "Serial Experiments Lain" is definitely designed for those who really want to think about the world around them and their role in it. Lain frequently asks "am I me?" Always trying to define herself, always asking where she belongs. This review may seem fairly disjointed, but it certainly fits the spirit of the series in my opinion. I imagine that many will be really intrigued by this and this should definitely screw with your mind a little after watching it. It really makes you ponder where you are in life and is that where you belong... is it really you? While some of the filming concepts are kind of annoying I see their point, except for "Infornography", most of that episode annoyed me. Other than that they were all well done, even if a little hard to follow at times. I think some people will outright hate this due to its very bizarre feel and they won't be able to move beyond that. However, I think this is kind of geared towards the techno savvy generation, especially those into hacking and other concepts of free information. If any of these concepts seem appealing to you, then I would definitely recommend you check out this series!

When I saw Lain first in the Video Rental Store...I thought that it will be a waste of time and money. But you know what...I was Wrong!!! From the beggining with the opening song, i got hooked. Lain is a series that the best thing it has is the fact that you can see it a 1000 times and always ends with another conclusion. Some many people maybe hate this, but is the same feeling that I got when I saw for the first time Evangelion, most people have too many conclusions. The best of all it doesn't have cliche's (well I didn't see any)and I loved it. Recently i got the box set and used it for a report...got the best grade of my class. The next day...half of the class asked for a "Lain Movie Marathon". And I mean a High School. But if you still donut about this...rent it first...once that you finish the fisrt DVD, you'll crave for more.

中古品でありながら、ほぼ新品同様です。 良い価格で良い商品を販売してくださり、ありがとうございます。

Excelente edición

How does one defines what SE: Lain is? It is an early very experimental animated series. Which in USA/EU values would be called ART HOUSE. Because this is not DBZ, nor Akira, not Ghost in the Shell. This goes DEEP! It is, something else, in a good way. Psychedelic, deep, questioning reality, questioning values. And it is ancient. This is one of the special titles that is known by Anime fans as an oddity. But a worthy oddity. This is an Anime that makes you THINK. I don't suggest this for Movie Nights unless you are with a very specific crowd that loves DEEP movies. But if you want something that isn't just a cute little anime or action series. You might just want to meet LAIN. And it is worth owning on Blu-ray. Trust me. They don't make stuff like this ... this is trippy and good. And it sets something special. It stays in your memory even after you seen so many other Animated Series... this is so different.

Lain is lain and this is an amazing purchase

Great quality for a great show, works fine on my Australian blu ray player (which is to be expected since it is a Region B disc)
