It actually helps that it's in English. I usually try to watch foreign media subbed but for something this confusing and with not much dialogue, being able to hear what's being said makes it so much easier to process.
I only have the last two episodes of this series left, which I'm saving for after finals. This trailer gives me chills. Obviously, if you've seen the series, you know it's not as immediately gratifying as the trailer might imply. It can be slow and sometimes even frustrating, but I like the challenge of trying to interpret this abstract thing. When all is said and done, it resonates with me, whether I fully grasp all its symbolism and layered meanings or not. I think the theme of the internet and human connection/disconnection is more relevant today than when this was made. It's kind of ahead of its time.
ben afrin How is it frustratingly slow? That is one complaint I never understood about this series. Maybe I have a habbit of watching slower films or whatever, but I thought SEL had a pretty good pacing.
@@literallyasuka2996 people have their opinions and that's fine. They find it decent, so it is for them. You find it shitty, so it is for you. Both opinions are right to each of you.
I’ll admit, as someone who doesn’t even like anime this does look pretty interesting since it reminds of one of those foreign arthouse/indie movies I’m into.
If you're not an anime fan but want to watch one anyway i highly recommend zankyou no terror! It's only 11 episodes long and a pure masterpiece. It's the only anime i would recommend to every person on earth if i could.
@@lain5518 i think zankyou no terror, though with huge potential, was really underwhelming and relatively badly executed. wouldn't really recommend it as an introduction to anime or something :/
@@k.e.706 Oh man, sorry to hear that you couldn't experience it the way i did. I love absolutely everything about this anime. The artstyle, music, length of the anime - everything fits perfect imo. That series has made me feel emotions i hadn't felt before. I have recommended it to countless people already and it always ended up being one of their favourites. Also i love how symbolic it is, there is a deeper meaning to a lot of things happening, as well as there are in the soundtrack. The reason i would recommend this anime to everyone is simple: Because i have never come across anyone i couldn't recommend it to. You don't like anime because you don't like the typical anime cliché drawing style/characters? Zankyou no terror. Don't wanna watch anime at all? It's only 11 episodes, so it's not a big commitment. You don't wanna watch a series with any magical aspects? Zankyou no terror. Wanting a unique storyline? Zankyou no terror. There are plenty aspects more. Simply the gorgeous soundtrack makes it worth watching though!
I remember when this anime came out back in the time where the internet was still something new in many countries and this type of feeling or sentiment of eery dark void was still present in society with regard to technology. Nowadays we embrace technology but still fear its dark potential with AI and automation.
I think I prefer the dub. The voices seem intentionally flat and emotionless, which only intensifies the uncomfortable atmosphere that the show tries to convey
@Rando Very fair but I cant speak or understand Japanese without subtitles so the effect is personally lost on me compared to how stark the dull tones of the dub are to me
Hello peeps. I wanna make it clear in case you get mixed up, I have the detailed answer but will keep it short here: =SPOILERS= * Lain is an experimental girl that can interact with both cyber and real world, who is created by the villain. * Villain needs to sacrifice Lain's body to dominate world with her powers. * They mess up with Lain's and her friends memories so much that Earth becomes unbearably distorted place for Lain. * In the end she defeats the villain and erases memories of her from Earth to alter the reality and save Alice, eventually she sacrifices her physical existence as noone remembers her.
Why would her ability to interact with both worlds make it so that she can undo death now, is she a time traveler? I thought the point was of Lain being a self-learning God, having erased her memories prior in order to develop a personality or individuality outside her omniscience.
Actually relating to terms like Schumann resonance and wired connecting the whole earth, the planet itself becomes an entity with each individual like cells of a body after the villain manipulates the wired into the consciousness of lain, she becomes the master of the wired hence taking control over earth as a planet wherever humans are connected to the wired. Villains problem is that she is not harnessing her true potential as she is restrained by her physical form.
I bought this show at a goodwill, and I was avoiding it because I thought it was gonna be super edgey. It was the spur of the moment kind of thing. Like the start of some horror movie. But I'll watch it now. :)
The only reason I watched it in subs was because the streaming site I was using did not provide a translation for the japanese text on the screen. And I'm not talking about Navi I'm talking about those poem shots.
I wanted to ask fans what is good about this series, not as in trying to get people to humor me on why should i watch it, but rather on what are the aspects I should focus the most when watching it
Don Killuminati I've heard parts and pieces of the dub, I actually kind of like the voices, I thought they were OK... but the Japanese track uses reverb to EXCELLENT effect in conveying isolation, the English track tries to do the same, but it just doesn't work nearly as well. For example, a crucial scene that hooked me in episode 2 (the end part with the double suicide) is simply not as impactful in the English dub, because one important reverb on Arisu's "Lain!" that made it seem like she's screaming from far away is fucked up and doesn't have that effect anymore. That is seriously enough of a reason for me to stay with the original Japanese audio and recommend others to do the same. Episode 2's final scenes deserve to be seen the way they were intended to be.
I also want to know! I'm about to watch this series for the first time, and thought I'd check out this trailer. And I really love the background music in this...is it just in the trailer, or is this music actually used in the show too?
@@toddpinkstonisgod the shows soundtrack is amazing trust me, but this specific song was made by funimate for the trailer however. i wish they would release it without voices /:
I love todays anime. But after Ergo Proxy, Stand Alone Complex, Akira, Evangelion, Armitage III and some old animes with deep crazy existencialist sh*t... i only ask myself, WE NEED MORE OF THIS! Like yeah, animes for chill and have fun are good and a love it but sometimes i want something that make my mind go nuts to understand what a series try to tell. The last one of this type was ID: Invaded and men, that was good. Pd: Sorry for my poor english haha

japanese psychological thrillers are scarier than hollywood horrors
lmfao right
It's so scary
😂so true that's not even argument can exist
Japan is the best with horror
Other than few favorites and David lynch movies for me they surpass Hollywood by a high margin
this trailer is more understandable them the show itself ngl
Bits and pieces like the shorts movie

Its a prediction of the future ever thought of that
@Rando he was assuming that slow AND frustrating = bad
Every year it becomes more and more important
KIND OF???
Usually I watch all shows, movies and operas in their original language. This English dub sounds really good though. I'm tempted.
For something like Lain, it doesn't really matter what language you watch it in.
It's actually really awful. I usually watch English but after a few episodes I switched. The dad was the only one who gave a decent performance.
Geeeee8 It's actually a decent dub. Not the best dub I've heard but it was good enough that I could watch it and enjoy the show
lewiszim This English dub sounds good? Lol what? It sounds like shit.

I just watched this and god is it ahead of its time. Wish more people knows about this.

Classic anime always wins my heart
Why is this trailer such a jam...
real
Lain is everywhere.
This show is a masterpiece
And the opening song on the DVD is pretty dope too. Lost the little book like 20 years ago so can't tell you who sings it.
One of the best animes I have seen. Would really recommend
On episode 6 and I’m already stuck shaking! So far it’s a 10/10 from me!
I love all the retro computer references in this show, the creators really knew the 90s computer scene
I think I prefer the dub. The voices seem intentionally flat and emotionless, which only intensifies the uncomfortable atmosphere that the show tries to convey

One of the underated anime

Hello peeps. I wanna make it clear in case you get mixed up, I have the detailed answer but will keep it short here:
=SPOILERS=
* Lain is an experimental girl that can interact with both cyber and real world, who is created by the villain.
* Villain needs to sacrifice Lain's body to dominate world with her powers.
* They mess up with Lain's and her friends memories so much that Earth becomes unbearably distorted place for Lain.
* In the end she defeats the villain and erases memories of her from Earth to alter the reality and save Alice, eventually she sacrifices her physical existence as noone remembers her.
Actually, not a bad synopsis.
I m spoiled
next time put the spoilers lower down, u spoiled it for me. Thanks.
Why would her ability to interact with both worlds make it so that she can undo death now, is she a time traveler? I thought the point was of Lain being a self-learning God, having erased her memories prior in order to develop a personality or individuality outside her omniscience.

Villains problem is that she is not harnessing her true potential as she is restrained by her physical form.
The girl that plays Lain in the dub sounds a lot like the girl that dubbed Mima Kirigoe in Perfect Blue. Is it the same actress?
Yes. Bridget Hoffman
oh that's explain why I keep on remembering Perfect Blue whenever I watch SEL
Oh shi- .. so that's why lol
I'm german so i don't know any english dubs, but that's soo cool! Fits so well!!
@@aMiyafuji i knew it!!!!! my two favorite things lol
my favorite anime

Navi is speaking with lain who is an artificial Intelligence.

Always gives me chills

Same happened to me, and I'm so glad things turned out that way.
Just watched the series again and I have to say the dub is excellent
I remember this 3 years ago i was planning to watch this but then i learned the plot just by watching the trailer i kinda get lazy
bruh if this is the trailer you saw you know nothing of the plot
@@eco1969 i guess so, im planning to watch it this upcoming month
@@phonfowo7625 that's great man, but beware, the thing may be slow at times

Nah fuck that you shouldn't be constantly going to fucking wikis during the first watch.
This anime is about internet addiction and how people mix reality and fiction. Real life is more important than friends on the internet.
looks okay actually.
During watching this trailer, why the perfect blue scenes haunt me?
" I'm Me, I'm The Only Me, Right!? And There Isn't Any Other Me, But Me. Isn't That Right ?? "
-Lain 😂
P.s - That Caught My Attention Very Well NGL
greatest series ever
