The plot twist is towards the end when Lain tells Eri that he is actually a stand-in for the real god but doesn't mention who is really God or if he even exists.

Once Eri is introduced, it seems that he is indeed that God of the Wired and has the same voice as the God who Lain kept talking to in previous episodes. Throughout the show, it is mentioned that God only exists as a concept in the real world but potentially exists in the Wired since it is possible to have some sort of being or entity having massive influence or power in that world. Will spoiler in case anyone decides to watch it as well : We finished the show at 2am and can't sleep due to the "just finished a show/game that we can't get out of our heads" phenomenon. Though it is nice to see that our understanding of the story event at least falls with some common consensus lolĪnd now some mindblowing moments and revelations i would like to highlight as we watched the show.

Towards the end, more explanations were being given but we never felt questions were truly answered which adds to the massive "surreal-ness" of the show.Īfter we finished the show, we googled around to see if there was a "definite" interpretation of the show's plot summary, themes, interpretations and it seems that even after 20 years, there's still debate about it. Everytime an episode ended, 1 question might have been answered and 20 more were asked. The first half of the show, both of our heads were exploding.

You can watch the series free on youtube thx to funimation here : Then I had a friend who came over to visit tonight with a list of shows and movies to watch which included SEL and the plan was set. I saw Serial Experiment Lain mentioned a few times in a thread recommending great shows that weren't necessarily popular. Thanks to the increase in anime threads over the past few weeks, i gotten myself a mental backlog of shows to consider watching in the future. Of course there are exceptions to this which is mainly getting recommendations of older shows from others.
