I've spent literal years trying to remember where I had heard this piece of music and what it was from. It was only while recently rewatching Lain that this started playing and I nearly jumped out of my seat with excitement. The mystery is finally solved!
I know that feeling. It was the same with me and Welcome to the NHK’s Hitori Bochi song that I had known for so long, and when I decided to purchase the DVD of it and watch it again I got to hear it and it felt so good
This is all Lain really wanted. I just watched the series again and maybe it’s because I’m older now but it just broke my heart how alone she was and how she chose to delete herself from the world, almost like a living suicide. I love you too Lain.
Makes sense I'd find a Mr bungle fan connected to Lain. Disco Volante was one of my favorite albums at the time Lain was my favorite anime. Surrealism was totally my bag back then
This is one of, if not the most depressing anime ending I've seen. It's not because it's tragic, it's technically the ""good"" ending, but it's really sad in its message. It's normal to see the hero being encouraged by their friends and discovering they matter and they aren't alone. But here, basically Lain comes to terms with the fact that the whole world is literally happier without her existing and that she is doomed to be a lonely spectre for all of eternity. And that is the most depressing thing I've ever seen
I know this isn't and anime, but the lain psx game is the "bad" ending. Very bad. Just found it funny that you referred to the anime's as the good ending because there actually IS a bad ending.
@@TristianWatson The show is serial experiments lain. It is really great but it is not for everyone. It is slow and very confusing but definitely a good story
take a gander at a show like SAO and you'll see why the anime industry is producing more low quality shows. SAO had a cool concept but the execution by the writers and producers made it just become a cash cow... with every show looking and sounding the EXACT same now, its even harder to find things like lain, which really sucks. money is the only goal, and how its made doesnt matter anymore.
@@ftl9849 You can say that again. I hate SAO with a deep and bitter passion. Ever since that anime came out its putrid semen stains can be found everywhere in anime; such as that anime about picking up girls in a dungeon, Konosuba, and even the otherwise not-too-bad Akame Ga Kill - what with all this talk about "Stats" and "Leveling" that completely breaks immersion in the process. And that's not even talking about how bland and boring the characters are in SAO (especially... what's-his-name. Was it Kirito or something?). Being overpowered from the start does not make for a compelling hero's journey, people. And Watchmojo actually listed his and that orange-haired girl's "relationship" as one of the best anime romances. All I can say is that if I want to watch an anime with an RPG theme, I will watch the OVA of Record of Lodoss War instead. That series actually feels like a pen-and-paper RPG from the 70s or 80s (It was based on a home-brew Dungeons & Dragons campaign that series creator Ryo Mizuno and his friends played, after all) without having to shove terms such as "stats", "leveling", "quests", and "XP/experience" in our faces to REMIND us that it is an RPG. Parn is a far more compelling character because he starts off the series as a completely unskilled fighter. Also, the world felt as though it was constantly under threat. Sorry, that was a bit long.
sozaj putrid semen stain is the perfect terminology for what sao has done. i completely agree with you too. whenever a show or manga brings up things from mmos or the like, it totally destroys the immersion. after seeing it for every single show... it just gets old. the entire industry is rotting slowly, from the point that isekai and harem anime were born. overwork of animators leads to shitty cgi (like the gun sao’s opening). many studios dont do animation for animation, they do it for a paycheck. honestly, anime like lain are almost non-existent, which is super depressing. hopefully someday that’ll be changed, but until that time comes we’ll have to deal with the harem wish fulfillment isekai crap until then.
@@ftl9849 That's not even talking about those anime that not so secretly wish they were hentai (examples: Dragonaur Academy... or whatever it was called; OniAi; That damn anime about these two demon girls who try to take control of a young man and his house but end up under him... once they were doing some sort of orgasmic ritual I stopped watching without even bothering to finish the episode; and Kampfer... FUCKING Kampfer). Anime has become an abused stepchild that is forced to pander to base and perverse: with generic and formulaic stories; blue-light special store brand 'characters'; art styles; awful pop music with singers that sound like they're 9 year olds; and eye-rolling, unrealistic, utterly predictable fan service made for lonely, pathetic, degenerates by lonely, pathetic, degenerates. There are no more true artists in Anime.
@@sozaj true. everything is being made with the determination and work ethic of a high school drop out. honestly, at this point, finding a series that isn't a harem or ecchi is like finding a single diamond in the darkness of space. even shows that try to subvert the wave of mediocrity end up falling into themselves (see: darling in the franxx). there's also the whole "im actually a 9000 year old vampire in the body of a 4 year old so im legal" thing that's just... disgusting. every fuckin' shit show being made rn has the same archetypes, same characters, same VA, same story, same art style, same shit animation... it's pure stagnation of peoples art and creativity. i literally CANNOT watch ANY shows that have been released in like, the last 5 years because of the steady decline of quality. the wave of anime that had the weirdest, craziest concepts (like lain) in the 80s and 90s, especially after 1995, were the best times to actually make a show that was worth watching. at this point, its so expensive to make quality anime that people have to turn to crowdfunding to even get the project of its feet. writers, animators and producers all have to work at breakneck speeds just so they get their paycheck, which is one of the reasons for the overall decline in actual good anime, and companies see the business opportunity in selling boob mouse pads and beach figurines; all in all, the worst possible environment for nurturing creativity.
