Serial Experiments Lain

Cytat:Pierwszy odcinek serii zaczyna się tajemniczym samobójstwem uczennicy, Chisa'y Yomoda. Chisa-chan chodziła do klasy z Lain Iwakurą, cichą, nieśmiała 14-latką. Wkrótce koleżanki z klasy zaczynają otrzymywać e-maile od Chisa'y. W wiadomości wyjaśnia ona, że porzuciła swe ciało, ale cały czas żyje w 'wired' (sieci)...
Gdy Lain dostaje nowy model 'Navi' wraz z obwodem 'Psyche', zaczyna spędzać coraz więcej czasu w 'wired', poszukując śladów Chisa'y. W dodatku wydaje się, że Lain ma przynajmniej 2 osobowości, a pierwsza z nich cały czas ewaluuje. Seria składa się z 13 odcinków.

Kilka cytatów:

Cytat:Lain Iwakura: No matter where you go, everyone's connected.

Cytat:Chisa Yomoda: There was no reason for me to stay in the real world any longer. In the real world, it didn't matter if I was there or not. When I realized that, I was no longer afraid of losing my body.

Cytat:Lain Iwakura: People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that's why there were all kinds of mes. There weren't a lot of mes per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that's all.

Cytat:Iwakura, Yasuo: Let me give you one little warning.

Lain Iwakura: Huh?

Iwakura, Yasuo: When it's all said and done, the Wired is just a medium of communication and the transfer of information. You mustn't confuse it with the real world. Do you understand what I'm warning you about?

Lain Iwakura: You're wrong.

Iwakura, Yasuo: Huh?

Lain Iwakura: The border between the two isn't all that clear. I'll be able to enter it soon. In full range. Full motion. I'll translate myself into it.

Iwakura, Yasuo: Even with a top of the line civilian Navi, you couldn't.

Lain Iwakura: I can do it. I've modified mine.

Iwakura, Yasuo: A Psyche processor, huh? But...

Lain Iwakura: Don't worry. I'm still me.

Iwakura, Yasuo: Sometimes I wonder.

Cytat:Lain Iwakura: [gasp]

Miho Iwakura: The wired might actually be thought of as a highly advanced upper layer of the real world. In other words, physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired.

Lain Iwakura: But ma...

Miho Iwakura: This is because the body, physical motion, the activity of the human brain is merely a physical phenomenon, simply caused by synapses delivering electrical impulses.

Lain Iwakura: But mom, I...

Miho Iwakura: The physical body exists at a less evolved plane only to verify one's existence in the universe.

Lain Iwakura: Are you really, truly my mother?

Miho Iwakura: [disappears]

Lain Iwakura: Are you?

Cytat:Lain Iwakura: Why? Why did you die?

Navi [Dictating Chisa's response]: God is here.
