Hey all, just finished rewatching Serial Experiments Lain and, as always, blown away by its intricate storytelling and mind-bending themes. One thing that really stood out to me this time around is the way the series plays tricks on the audience’s perception of reality. The blurring of boundaries between the virtual world and the real world is so well-executed, leaving us questioning what is truly “real.” The unreliable narrator adds another layer of complexity, making us doubt even the most basic truths. It’s truly a masterclass in psychological manipulation through storytelling. Can’t wait to dive back into the world of Lain!
