So. Serial Experiments Lain. Yeah.

I was right all along: It’s as if someone decided to try telling a story with lots of the pieces deliberately removed for the sake of being (ooo!) mysterious and cutting-edge.

Red herrings. Mumbo-jumbo. Unexplained phenomena. Pointless, unresolved plot threads. False endings.

On the whole, I was disappointed. I kept hoping the thing would go somewhere, you know? Ultimately all the writers could do was simply chase their own tails for a few hours and hope it looked cool enough to impress the kiddies.

Maybe I’m just missing something, but… well, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

Ha. Ha ha ha. Get it? Lose sleep? Yeah. Damn, I’m funny. See you in half an hour.
