What Is Serial Experiments Lain?
Serial Experiments Lain debuted in 1998 as a media-mix work spanning a serialized magazine story, a TV anime broadcast, and a video game released simultaneously. The series explores the blurring boundary between the real world and the network world, along with the shifting nature of human connection, and remains popular today as an experimental work that anticipated the internet society to come.
Introduction: In a world where the "Navi" network terminal has become widespread, junior high school student Lain Iwakura becomes drawn into Navi after receiving an email from her classmate Chisa Yomoda, who is supposed to be dead. From there, she finds herself pulled into a series of strange incidents. What lies at the far end of the two worlds — the real world and the Wired?
