Synopsis: Lain Iwakura appears to be an ordinary 14 year old school girl, with almost no experience with the wired. but after the suicide of one of her school mates and a few strange events, she is dragged into the mysterious world of the Wired. where she soon comes to find nothing is what it seems to be, even herself!
Main Review: This story is amazing, If you can make it past the first few boring episodes the story takes off and twist and turns and becomes something amazing. you never know whats going to happen next, and you really feel like you know lain. its also very dark and a bit weird at times, but within that darkness is a story which really makes you question everything around you.
The characters are brilliant in this, everyone is different and everyone reacts to each other in completely different ways. especially lain, one minute shes a shy school girl and the next she has a very intimidating school girl. i have not seen a character quite like lain. just watching her is a entertaining experience.
The sounds in this are pretty good, the opening song is wonderful, one of the few animes i actually listened to every episode. the graphics them self's are not all that great, but the way its drawn and shaded, it fits the story perfect. in my opinion it would not be as good without the lower quality graphics.
This show truly is a work of art, i recommend it to anyone who likes a nice
"blow to the mind".
overall i give this show scores,
