Weekly Anime Post 54

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.

For example, wtf was wrong with the sister? Or what was the deal with her whole family anyway? Who put her in that family if she is just a program? I guess it was the god dude? And were her family all just programs too?

What would even have happened if the wired and the real world connected? Apparently she already has godlike powers in the real world anyway.

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.

explain Lain

Literally a prediction on how the internet would become so prevalent it would soon be either the same as IRL or a means of taking off the societal mask.

what about the sister going schizo

Unable to cope with the merge of the net and reality

family

Its been a bit so i cant recall

what if it merged?

Thats literally the point, how far do you think the internet will affect irl?

I mean yeah most of that is rather obvious but the whole thing still felt kinda pretentious ngl.
