Pretentious, Airy Garbage

But worst of all, a waste of time. This isn't art, it's a wet fart. The writer doesn't even attempt to connect two thirds of the half-baked ideas in this 13 episode slog. It has one of the best OPs I've ever seen which is probably how it's tricked so many people into watching.

Looks like OP got LAIN'd

A shame you seemed an honest man.

best anime I've ever watched. everything I watch, I always put in comparison with lain and then I only get frustated

I didn't get it. I don't know if there's anything to get. I don't know if the story is up to interpretation, I'm just a brainlet, or if the story writers just threw random ideas at the board

>Pretentious
stopped reading there

lol filtered

you are correct
however dont expect people here to agree with you
lain is literally babbys first deep anime and its all style and no substance
it really shows you how low their standards are when they consider something like lain a deep and intellectual
i liked the music and art though but thats about all this anime can offer

Filtered by Lain. Fucking embarrassing

One of the fewer than 25 anime worth watching.

At least we can all agree that we would all fuck Lain's sister

imagine getting filtered by anime lmao

you sound like you're afraid that people won't think you're as smart as you think you are for liking a certain anime. Hate to burst your bubble but you're a faggot retard either way.

And you don't seem to understand.

There is another board for discussing anime OP

And for the record, the Opening sequence alone is better than most anime nowadays so get bent

Serious question: is it important that you "get" everything? Can't an anime just be a mood piece?

yes we get it
not liking lain is not allowed
you are so fucking retarded, as expected from lain tranny

uhhhh based???? Fuck lainfags this shit is just 13 episodes of random shit happening

I never truly understood the plot but I was obsessed with it. Honestly it felt like it was just comfy atmosphere, like this is something to watch before bed. I like the documentary episode.

you know what the internet is so it cant blow your mind

His isuse more seems to be that people put it up as this amazingly deep and intellectual thing that you have to really study in order to undrestand and that you're unintelligent if you don't get it.

>ok so theres this young bitch that sudoku

Never trust Yas Forums

Do they though? I feel like most people's take on Lain is "woah, that was really weird and atmospheric, didn't really get all of it though", and then people like OP come along and get mad about it, and accuse everyone else of being pretentious.

And then the responses are 50% 'lol filtered' and 'you just didnt get it'.

Because you're being insufferable at that point, and it's more fun to egg you on then actually engage with you.

>becomes God just to be able to see her Alice-waifu whenever she wants
Sounds pretty based

holy shit how can you have it so ass backwards, the music is the only thing that sucked about Lain

newfag here, what does filtered mean?

The OST slaps though

a buzzword used by people who liked X to LARP as superior faggots and mock those brainlets who didn't

Filtered

Using things like pic realted is the only way to deal with them most of the time. Every time some pseud comes into a Lain, GitS, Eva, Twin Peaks, etc. thread and hits the pretentious button 90% don't even have an argument as to why it's pretentious. They typically don't want to discuss the art, they just want to air out how they feel and most of the time its the fans they have problems with not the art itself

Epic schizo moment

It's okay. At the time I'm sure it would've had a bigger impact, but at this point all of its ideas aren't all that interesting or unique.

I watched all 13 episodes in one sitting. Didnt like it.
I feel like the only people who liked it read the plot synopsis for each episode beforehand just so they could understand it, and then say anyone who didnt like it was filtered.
I feel like the people who like it are also the same people who say the Last Jedi is the best star wars movie and pleb filter

Me trying to get the original Falcon 4 to run.

TLJ is the best Star Wars movie produced by Disney. Except maybe Solo.

Post yfw you realize Serial Experiments Lain isn't as esoteric and impenetrable as it seemed on the first viewing.

Vader was just there to coof and show us when does the movie take place. I cant even name any characters from it but Scariff was kino and the whole movie wasn't all about space magicians with glowsticks

not him but i vaguely recall there being this highlight on the spoilered parts

But it was a shitty war movie too. It completely failed at it's goal of being Star Wars focused on actual soldiers. It was just a dreary Star Wars movie. It's still essentially about a kid hero and a rag-tag gang of rebels taking on the Empire and winning. But it takes the heart and sense of adventure from those regular movies and replaces it with just faux-darkness.

>most of the time its the fans they have problems with not the art itself
for real

>a kid hero and a rag-tag gang of rebels taking on the Empire and winning
That's every SW movie from 4 to 9. And at least there were some consequences this time. Their power of friendship didn't get them trough the whole thing in the same way it did for others and it took the designer himself to leave breadcrumbs in hopes that someone would find the flaw in the station. And that comes before the 1/10000000 torpedo shot required to nuke the DS.

Like youre mothers pussy yes?

That's my entire point though. It's not a "real gritty war movie". It's just a Star Wars movie that isn't fun, and what value is that?

Lurk before posting bitch

it's just a sating around here that means they don't have an argument and won't attempt to explain why you're wrong because they can't.

I had fun watching it. Fun I didn't have with a SW movie since revenge of the sith

Nor the scenes when she says she will suck your dick dry

one word: filtered
