Why is /lain/ named so?
| Just watch it, that'll be enough for you to understand, it gets pretty deep
| >but aren't there better cyberpunk anime
Take that back!
| Lain isn't really cyberpunk, just has lots of transhumanist elements so it's somewhat popular in the cyber community
(The ending is kinda cyberpunk though? I won't spoil it, but you'll know why when you get there)
| I'd say SEL is kinda cyberpunk, maybe not in theme or story, but in the setting.
| Well, sure lain is visually not gits, but it somehow manages to handle the topic with less cliche (cool androids/cyborgs and dystopian corporate/estate neon-enlightened cities)
| Would have made more sense to call /lain/ /cyb/, and /cyb/ /glitch/.
I guess they wanted to keep past thread on /cyb/ when dmthe division occurred

| I never post on this board but was curious. Just found out about serial experiment lain and I'm currently watching it. But I'm wondering why this old obscure anime represents this cyberpunk board? It has elements of it sure but aren't there better cyberpunk anime?
PS. Please don't spoil it too much if you could.
