I'm not going to pretend to be a film critic, but the directing seemed pretty effective at creating the kind of atmosphere that the series needed. In this sense, the series creates perfect order out of total chaos, an aspect that I particularly liked. But by the time you finish it, I guarantee that all of these things will make perfect sense (even why Lain's family seems so shallow and undeveloped). When you first start watching the series, it makes absolutely no sense, and every episode just seems to be adding to the complexity by introducing new aspects. Don't expect hardcore analytic philosophy, just a nice sprinkling of references and some interesting perspectives. Yeah, a lot of effort does go into making the show more mysterious, but eventually it really does touch on themes that would appeal to those looking for something intellectual, especially functionalism, descriptive materialism, and the problems with a wholly materialistic interpretation of identity.
SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN SUB OR DUB REDDIT MOVIE
To put things in perspective, this is like watching the first 35 minutes of a movie and being convinced that it's worthless. For one, it's kind of depressing when people watch 4 episodes of a show and feel like they know everything about it. I feel like I have to say a few things about zetes's rant. Navis and Macintoshes are both built by companies named after fruit, Tachibana (a type of orange) and Apple, respectively. The HandiNAVI, the handheld computers which both Lain and Arisu used was based off the Apple Newton, the first PDA. The child's Navi that Lain used to use was modeled after the 20th Anniversary Macintosh. The electronic voice heard saying the episode titles is the "Whisper" voice from the MacOS Speech Control Panel, a program that permits text-to-speech.
All of the Navis shown in the series use one-button mice as Macintosh computers do. Open the NeXT" is a reference to the NeXT company, founded by Steve Jobs in the late '80s and purchased by Apple Computer in December 1996. Arisu's Navi resembles the original Apple iMac. Navi's operating system has a graphical user interface (GUI) similar to that of MacOS. The Navis use an operating system named Copeland, which was the codename for Apple's MacOS 8. The Be company was founded by Jean-Louis Guasse, a former Apple executive. This is a reference to BeOS, whose logo has similar coloring. There are numerous references to Macintosh and Apple Computers: The phrase "To Be Continued", with a colored "Be" is shown at the end of most of the episodes.
