| Serial experim. Lain explained with fear factory
I have been reading thousand of people who didn't get the message of the anime, But I did, It's a darker represention of the matrix saga but even more philosophical than the movies. I could make a connection between fear factory's albums/songs and the history so here we go | | 1 |  | Fear Factory
Soul of a New Machine
Indeed, in the series the human Lain doesn't seem to have a soul, but she has one when she unifies with the wired, that's why the real Lain is so empty in both personality and characterization. | | 2 |  | Fear Factory
Demanufacture
Lain sees the future of humanity in the network: If you look how society is represented in the real world, there seems to be nothing special or interesting, However, most of the deep thoughts of the humans are shown in the digital world (such us Lain discovering the affair of her best friend with her teacher). | | 3 |  | Fear Factory
Obsolete
Lain's sister represents the viewer of the anime: Yep, if you take a look in the evolution of the character from the first episode to the last, you will see that in each episode the sister starts to become paranoid, so is probably the people who followed the series. By the end of the series it seems that the mix up of the real world with the virtual one will surely make you think what it's real and what it's not. | | 4 |  | Fear Factory
Digimortal
Lain does not become a God of the wired, but the chosen one to protect the limits of the virtual world with the real one. Lain is nothing more than the bridge between 2 worlds. | | 5 |  | Fear Factory
Mechanize
Lain's complex personality is shown thanks to the evolution of her room: Have you noticed that in the first episode Lain's room is just a bed and a nightable? that showed how simple and practical she is, however by the end of the series the room becomes a visual representation of Lain's brain, and thus her dissociative identity disorder. | | 6 |  | Fear Factory
The Industrialist
Lain is the personification of the collective unconscious. She might be a human being in the series, but in reality Lain is actually a social constructionism to justify everything that a rational human being is not able to answer,. just Like Plato's theory of forms represented in modern times.. | |

08.28.17 | i like your interpretation. it seems to be a highly archetypal film that draws many analogies from religion, most prominently Christianity. lain is a classic case of 'the god who knows not himself' | AnimalsAsSummit
08.28.17 | she is a spiritual being who has purposefully made themselves forgot who they are, this is a kind of Jungian take on collective subconscious as an entity, that "we" (lain), have forgotten ourselves | literallyzach
08.28.17 | ugh i love lain so much

08.28.17 | Mod please feature this | rodrigo90
08.29.17 | I'd be glad if this becomes a featured article | sixdegrees
12.15.17 | thanks, this really helped me out | artiswar
12.15.17 | I had a weird experience watching the show. I thought the first 2 episodes were fantastic and I was really hooked but the show fell off quickly for me and by the time Lain is watching her friend masturbating I had lost all interest in trying to follow/interpret the story. Really good observations though | sixdegrees
12.15.17 | I watched it for the visuals and sound design
was much more attached to the characters in shows like texhnolyze and ghost hound | artiswar
12.15.17 | The 90's aesthetic was very appealing yes. And though the show flopped for me, its predictions about the future of internet were insanely ahead of their time. |
