More anime should try be surreal or artsy like Lain
Lain
Texhnolyze > Lain
obscure for sake of obscurity
nah
Most people would hate it because they didn't get it, or they don't know who it was made for. Modern anime needs clear purpose and indicators to guide people from start to end
i thought this was gonna be a way out there in the ether dude kinda show too but it's not like that at all
been a while since i saw it but the story itself is pretty self-contained and whatever it is the anime wants to say it does so pretty out in the open (eventually)
not a single Laintard has ever watched the show. Only people that rate it a solid 7.5/10 have.
there are hundreds of anime like that but you will never watch them because they aren't popular on tiktok
this, there's sonny boy which is a modern masterpiece
Lain is an unsurmountable masterpiece unfortunately
I tried ghost hound but dropped it like 2-3 episodes in, unbearable.
No, I can gatekeep more effectively if there's less of it
It's weird. I watched Lain recently and suddenly there are threads about it every day...
How?
How what?
this is how you sniff them out
you have to ask them concretely what they liked about lain and if they can't answer you then they're only a "fan" because of the OP
Many are in a more subtle manner, but sadly overseas viewers are too low IQ to notice if it isn't as blatant as possible.

you would think so but lainfags love lain because they can't comprehend it.
where do you think you are? there's been lain threads almost every day for the past 20~ years.
i still do not care for duvet
Honestly I agree. It’s been 2 decades since the last pseudkino (Ergo Proxy). And no, Yuasaslop doesn’t count.
theres sonnyboy but its pseudo-pseudkino
Agreed, it tries to be pseudo but it ends up being the same generic ‘conform and become a salarycuck kys’ instead of epic overblown themes about the human condition and the future
i'm not sure if it even had an overall thematic message, it just sort of happened. very good in individual aspects though. trying to think of something more.
bishounen tanteidan finale got there
I’m liking how recently we’ve shifted from irony to post irony. 2010s meta was all about shitting on edgy stuff and being ‘self-aware’ muh ‘Lain and Eva are for pseuds amirite’ and I am GLAD that’s over. We can finally appreciate the pathos and grandeur of a sincere storyline without having to shoehorn in gay quips or try to subvert expectations.
most of the lainfags are sincerely too stupid to follow the storyline, i think that adds to the fun.
Whole series was pseudkino but also kino more generally.
And it's still less popular than haruhi suzumiya
sex with Lain
necrophilia
most of the lainfags aren't on Anon Babble, twitter, reddit, or the rest of social media
And yet Laintrannies hated sonnyboy
sonny boy is pseudodeep
Its not, its actually deep, you just dont get it because youre mentally ill
lain is deep, sonny boy is pseud
see costly thing people make
it work
do same costly thing
it work
try new costly thing
it don't work
now no money to try thing
Its to costly and risky to try new things even more so now that the fucking price of everything has doubled so now onto our 1532th isekai
well thats pretty obvious, sonnyboy doesn't really offer anything but cool visuals and music.
lain is not deep either, not even pseudo deep really, it's just got a pseud following. its also very great.
why is slideshow experiments lain costly?
sonny boy explores string theory actually
More anime should try be surreal or artsy like Lain
the thread is about more anime being more surreal and arty anon....
surreal and artsy imply pretty visuals that are costly?
Are you serious? Take a step back, its kind of sad that you couldnt pick up on sonny boys message
I really used to like Lain but in the past few years its become trannycore and it just cannot be discussed here anymore
thats pretty sad, getting trannies stuck in your brain
nta, but what is the message
why is it trannycore?
it is said that trannies love to talk about it but idk, i only ever see
this sucks because trannies love it
posts here. maybe its a twitter thing.
obscure means no one knows about it retard
thats the wrong hole anon
I mean the obscure presentation
It was inevitable. Before it was common for good anime to come out no matter what genre you liked every year. Now we're getting exponentially more shows, but the good stuff are either rare or goes by unnoticed.
Reminder that lain game has a better story than the anime
all transhumanism is trannycore. bodymodding is NOT ok
what's the difference
there's nothing obscure about how its presented, outside of that one scene where lain and eiri are speaking to each other out of each other's bodies. everything else is presented quite straightforward and explicitely
you gotta be trolling
it doesn't tries as hard to be deep like the anime, resulting in a more cohesive plot with actual characters that are interesting. the way you "play" the game and progress the story really adds to the experience too.
no anon, it's entirely shuffled up. clues to solving episode 1 are littered through the series til about ep9-10 where it straightens out.
but then it wouldn't be 2deep4u
there's nothing obscure about the cast spending the last few episodes plainly explaining to each other and to the camera what happened in the previous episodes. that's just normal tv storytelling
just try it yourself if you liked the anime
I didn't
Imagine a slice of life with surreal artsy like lain
depending on why you didn't, you actually may like the game all the more.
i've never particularly loved lain myself. to me the anime is like 5-6/10 and the game is like an 8. i just want more people to know about it
they dont exposit anon, they give you the means to interpret it on rewatch.
straightforward for the sake of straightforwardness
nah
there's nothing impressive with withholding information
completely agree. it was actually made by a pseud trying to fuck with the audience and that is part of the fun.
withholding information
what are you going to do with the "information" lmao? solve the puzzle on your own terms and yield enjoyment from the process and your own interpretation
present mystery
keep adding shit
doesn't elaborate
I will not watch your show
All stories should not be told for the appeasement of the lowest common denominator or speedwatchers. Things that require you to turn your brain on can be enjoyable, actually.
The formula you gave is exactly what made Twin Peaks so good
what's the point of a mystery that the author has no obligation in explaining?
no significant information is withheld
didn't watch the show
is just here to waste everyone's time
A shame you seemed an honest man
Lane is friggin cute as fug
are you retarded or just pretending?
you didn't answer my question retard.
if you watched the show and didn't take anything from it, the first thing you should assume is that you missed something, not that there is actually nothing there
I'm leaving. Enjoy wasting your time on your own.
think i'm gonna disagree on that one, i dont need every single character's entire life story spelled out or anything but even when characters exposition dump they're lying half the time.
It is explained, just not always directly. Lain is also more than just a plot-driven mystery story so even if you ignore that "the point" includes everything else that Lain is trying to do or say.
Lain is also more than just a plot-driven mystery story
Characters are also shit. It has themes which I'll give you that
Game > anime > manga
pretty boy detective club
many such cases
watch an anime and it sticks out to you in recent memory, threads become more visible than series you haven't watched or not so recent in your watch history
