Kaori Shimizu, Rei Igarashi, Yoko Asada, Ryusuke Oobayashi, Ayako KawasumiLain ist eigentlich eine ganz normale Schülerin, die ein ganz normales Leben führt. Doch eine Woche nach dem tragischen Selbstmord einer Mitschülerin aus ihrer Klasse, bekommen einige Schüler plötzlich E-Mails von der Toten. Auch scheint irgend etwas mit der Welt nicht in Ordnung zu sein, denn immer öfter sieht sie seltsame Bilder von menschenleeren Orten und diffusen Gestalten.
Lain muss feststellen, das vieles in ihrem Leben anders ist, als sie bisher dachte.
Close the World. Open the Next. Decades before the internet was something people carried around in their pockets, these words introduced anime fans to a surreal existence where computer monitors served as portals to brave new worlds. Serial Experiments: Lain and its deceptively "ordinary" title character redefined an entire generation's concept of the world wide web, prompting us all to suspiciously take note of humming power lines and central processing units. Follow along as fourteen year old Lain – driven by the abrupt suicide of a classmate – logs on to the Wired and promptly loses herself in a twisted mass of hallucinations, memories, and interconnected-psyches. Close the World. Open the Next. It's as simple as the flip of a switch.
