Serial Experiment Lain

Looks Pretty Cool Huh? -_-

Well...it's April 19, 2011...and we're still waiting on episode 11 of Madoka....WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SUSPENSEFUL THIS IS, last time I heard they we're on a bit of a time crunch so they decided to do the episodes at a slower pace to make the quality better and they decided to air it in mid-April...it's 4 fucking days after mid-April the series has been abandoned well never know what happens to that squeaky voiced mother fucker: Madoka... I fucking hate this series...so let's move on to a series which is pretty much the same concept except slightly different and made in 1998 Serial Experiment Lain now I just heard about this and apparently it's supposed to be all philosophical and stuff, 13 episodes and most importantly...its fucking complete here we go with episode 1:

...

*16 minutes into it*

Okay I can't fucking take it anymore I get it I do...it's kinda like interpretative dance...in that I don't give a fuck about either, this anime is chalked full of cynical symbolism which you will understand immediately if you've ever been a cynic before...and chances are you've thought about these symbols before and have thought to yourself "man...I should put this in an anime" but this is living proof that it won't work like you think it will:

There are entire moments of silence, and other entire scenes of droning noise particularly from the telephone cable things all over the city, and for a moment I thought it was actually cool and a good idea...until I got 5 minutes into it when it just became annoying, you begin to realize that these symbols you've thought of belong in a poem, or maybe a short film...I don't know maybe I haven't given it much of a chance but at least Madoka had some action in between symbols so I could get excited about it, all thats happened in the 15 minutes I've watched is she started emailing a girl that committed suicide in opening sequence...and if horror movies have taught us anything it's don't email the dead cause shit goes down, and I'm willing to bet that the dead girl abandoned her body in order to live in the internet or something along those lines

According to wiki this is supposed to symbolize how Japan is taking America's dislikable culture after WWII, I guess thats why the computer imagery is so popular in this series? Ohhh if only this guy made this series after facebook came out -_-, honestly it's just kinda like Summer Wars except Summer Wars was an awesome movie that celebrated the advent of technology (and cautioned us on the reliance of it as well) while being family friendly, funny, action packed, and awesome all at the same time

I just read the description of all the episodes on wiki...it does not seem to get any better but hey what do I know apparently this series got super great reviews from everybody else, but to me it just feels like a philosophical anime that tried to hard
