What is the anime Serial Experiments Lain?
A Jade Girl is jaded.
Summary (spoilers):
Hylic Layer: The Outer Lain ("Childish 玲音")
In a twilight world where the reckless creations of tech companies are alienating our youth, Lain Iwakura must decide whether she is merely their product or her own person.
Psychic Layer: The Inner Lain ("Advanced レイン")
A young woman, Alice Mizuki, is walking along with her fiancé when she spots a girl who reminds her of a dream she once had, a glimpse through the looking glass that prompted her to connect with and befriend her withdrawn schoolmate, Chisa Yomoda, back in 8th grade.
Pneumatic Layer: The Secret Lain ("Cunning Lain")
When we lose someone, be it a dying friend or even our childhood self, a person-shaped hole is left in the fabric of our reality. Lain is the fear and compassion that comes about when we fill that gap with our memories, our grief, and our coping mechanisms in a life that inevitably continues on. Lain is the pieces of ourselves that we see in others. Lain is the uncertainty and anxiety we experience in reconciling those oft disparate parts. She is no one, she is everyone, and she is only herself.
The Playstation game follows a similar triplicate breakdown, albeit with Toko Yonera taking the place of Chisa, and Lain as the emblem of Toko's psychological state. Somewhat similarly, Misato serves a narrative role that can be compared to Alice, and her shadow is Kyoko. As the observer, you are meant to contemplate and discover the following things depicted in the works:
