Serial Experiments Lain
Lain Iwakura is a shy, tech-averse fourteen-year-old who receives an unsettling email from her classmate Chisa—who recently took her own life. Despite having virtually no experience with computers, opening that email pulls Lain into the Wired, a vast virtual network that functions like the internet. From there, her world spirals into increasingly strange territory. She encounters bizarre mysteries, mysterious men in black suits who seem to know impossible things about her, and the line between reality and cyberspace becomes dangerously blurred. Questions about identity, consciousness, and what's even real start to feel genuinely uncertain. The series is a psychological mind-bender created by Chiaki J. Konaka, exploring how Lain's choices ripple across both the physical world and the digital one. As reality and the virtual begin to merge, only Lain understands what's at stake.
