Fanart Friday, Too: Serial Experiments Lain

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… Read More Fanart Friday, Too: Serial Experiments Lain

Easter: Ten Anime for the Ten Commandments (and IV)

One of the things I love the most about anime is how is it able to focus on small but significant details. At its best, 2D animation allows every look, every gesture, every landscape, every interaction between characters to be full of intentional meaning in a way that is all the more difficult to achieve… Read More Easter: Ten Anime for the Ten Commandments (and IV)

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 11

As I mentioned last week, one can view Serial Experiments Lain as the story of a machine learning to become human, though unlike most series, Lain puts the audience in a position where we don’t know that the “machine” isn’t a human at first. Episode 11 goes a step further as Eiri explains to Lain… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 11

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 10

At the series beginning, Lain exhibits few personality traits. She’s even keel, slow to speak, and doesn’t drift to any extreme. Through the course of the show, her personality has become more pronounced, like a robot learning what it means to be human. Unfortunately, that means with highs there will be lows, and Lain, learning… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 10

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 09

When I was younger, Serial Experiments Lain made me very uncomfortable. I was neck deep in my religion, and as a passionate but young believer that was part of a conservative congregation, I was quick to judge those around me and even the pieces of art I watched. Lain troubled me so much that I… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 09

Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 08

It’s hardly a surprise that in a country where Shinto temples and belief in kami run alongside Buddhist precepts and practical atheism that the concept of god as presented in Lain is very different from that of a Christocentric view. Lain’s “God of the Wired” is omniscient, but not omnipotent; he is all-knowing, but unable… Read More Serial Experiments Lain Revisited: Episode 08

First Impression: Berserk of Gluttony In a world First Impression: Berserk of Gluttony

In a world of goblins, magic, and knights, Fate Graphite finds himself near the bottom of society. One’s skill—a power bestowed by the gods when you’re born—determines your place in the world, and Fate has a useless one, “gluttony,” which only has the power to make his belly grumble endlessly it seems. Of course, it does more than that, as Fate is about to discover. Once it’s activated, and after acquiring a talking sword named “Greed,” Fate now has the strength to defeat goblins. But is he strong enough to save a child from a villain more powerful than he is? Or must he continue to depend on the Holy Knights, some of whom are far more like devils than angels? 

[twwk] If you want to read my full thoughts on episode one, head over to beneaththetangles.com. But in short...there's not much to this series, though this scene was ohmygosh haha.

Be sure to head to Beneath the Tangles, also, to read our first impressions of the fall anime season premieres!
