The further we get from Serial Experiments Lain, the more I find the themes of that series to be current and meaningful—a classic series, joining another one that’s perhaps even more meaningful, Haibane Renmei, as masterpieces from Yoshitoshi ABe.
I implore you to check out our episode-by-episode march through Lain from a few years back as we celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Serial Experiments Lain is such a classic! I haven’t watched that in such a long time! Oh, I didn’t know it was the same creators that made Haibane Renmei. No wonder I liked both of them so much!
I love it! I enjoyed it far more watching it the second and third times than the first!
