Well, this week I watched netflixs' 'Cyberpunk Edgerunners' and it was alright, if you want something short to watch Id recommend it.
Afterwards I was in the mood for more cyberpunk shit, and I rewatched bladerunner 2049 which is not an anime. I also watched 'Serial Experiments Lain' and I honestly dont really know what to make of it, so if you watched it definitly share your thoughts about it here.
Idk if its because Im r-slurred, drunk or because the anime is just made that way, but a lot of stuff that happened just seemed pointless and only tangentially connected to the plot. Honestly, after watching it I wonder what even happened in those 13 episodes.
This is just some random stuff that came to my mind as I type this out. That doesnt mean I didnt enjoy the anime, because I did, but it just feels like they wanted to send some deep message about life and came of a bit pretentious I guess.

It makes a lot of references and borrows a lot of ideas from a bunch of writers. It's been a long time since i watched it so i don't remember the overarching themes but the tvtropes page is decent at explaining some of it at least. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ShoutOut/SerialExperimentsLain
There are a couple other fansites that also talk about it and also lainchan.org, the no. 1 chan with coders/mtf maybe
@lain knows something else

I’d did deep dives back in the day, I can’t recall all the sites I visited way back when tbh.
There was a pretty good fan site that explained a lot - can’t recall much about it though.
I’ve also heard the video game gets really fricking dark but gives some alternative explanations for the lore.
