Some of the story is left slightly open ended, leaving the viewer to fill in his or her own conclusions. The characters develop perfectly, the atmosphere is incredible, and the story is flawless. The story is deep, well thought out, and very entertaining throughout. Lain is by far one of my favorite animes of all time. After 13 episodes, there will probably be more questions than answers, but isn't real life like that, anyway? The interpretation's the thing, and those looking for action or comedy may come away slightly disappointed. Splicing in elements of Matrix-style cyberpunk, X-Files conspiracy, and the David Lynch-esque surreal, "Lain" is, like the Wired world it portrays, a synthesis of disparate ideas and personas, all thrown into a blender for the viewer to interpret. Apparently, her consciousness is still on the net.or is it? From then on, things get weird, complicated, and interesting. After a classmate seemingly commits suicide, Lain gets e-mail from the dead girl. The story is simple at first and seems half-predictable in these post-"Matrix" times. But it goes beyond style and gets into substance. From the killer opening title sequence (with a great opening song, by the way) to the strange "previews" (they only consist of a girl talking and her body parts - I'm not kidding) for the next show, "Lain" certainly has a fairly unique style. It's not godly perfect or anything, but it gets up there.way up there.
