I don't even know what you're on about now Lain.

No one on Earth understood your show, because it was made to make absolutely no sense, yet people pretend to understand it anyway. Then they are defense is that "Just because you didn't understand it, doesn't mean I didn't". But that's bullshit and let me tell you why:

1; Lain is nonsense.

2; Lain is a moe remake of ghost in the shell disguised with 12 layers of DEEP. (pseudo-DEEP)

3; Lain is silly.

I always viewed LAIN as being a show where all you are (the viewer) is an observer. You're not explained anything because you don't really exist. All you do is sit back, and watch shit unfold.

I thought it was pretty cool how they envision the future of the world's connectivity. There's a website out there that interprets many of the symbols/references found throughout the show, but I don't remember what the url was. Quick search should yield it. Green text colour on it.

I think for a few things those sites have a certain benefit.

Some authors of content mean to convey something specific in their work that may not always be apparent to someone who is not an avid follower of the subject.

Something like this site becomes a looking glass into something you're unfamiliar with.

Here's some LAIN cosplay I saved just because I've never seen any before.

>> No.9976801

Lain was so bad that rather than drop it around episode 5, knowing that if I dropped it I would eventually come back to it for another round of pain, I watched it to completion with the video playing at about 30% faster than normal to minimize the amount of my life I wasted on that shit.

There were some douches that would watch Evangelion with "cabal for dummies" in hand and find all sort of symbolism in every single scene.

Everything had to have some kind of cabalist meaning to it just because they put in a damn sephirothic tree of life as an interior decoration for Gendo's office.

That's part of the delusion of her dissociation. It's my interpretation that she probably underwent some serious abuse, which, alongside her natural schizophrenic tendencies, would seem to naturally lead to her episode where she ``discovers'' that she's not even human.

I liked Lain for the OP, because it wasn't generic nip gibberish. The same with Cowboy Bebop and GITS:SAC and Ergo Proxy and countless other 90's and early 00's anime. The last time an anime had a nip OP/ED that didn't sound like shit was Gundam 00 S1.

Mac OS 8 is the stable release of the shitstain that was copland. Copland was called System 8 for a time when they thought they could still release it in 96, then the release date got pushed back because it was so unstable and shitty.

>Eventually, many features developed for Copland, including the new Finder and support for themes (the default Platinum was the only theme included) were rolled into Mac OS 7.7, which was rebranded as Mac OS 8.

>A number of features originally seen in Copland demos, including its advanced Find command, built-in Internet browser, and support for video-conferencing, have reappeared in recent releases of Mac OS X as Spotlight, Safari, and iChat AV, respectively, although the implementation and user interface for each feature is completely different.

Also, it was incredibly fragile and crashed repeatedly, often corrupting system files on the disk in the process. The demo staff reformatted and rebuilt the hard disks at regular intervals. It was incredible that they even let us see the beast."[25]

Including Copland was just Konaka's idea as another shoutout to apple.

There's also
>Other subtle allusions can be found: "Close the world, Open the nExt" is the slogan for the Serial Experiments Lain video game. NeXT was the company that produced NeXTSTEP, which later evolved into Mac OS X after Apple bought NeXT. Another example is "To Be Continued." at the end of episodes 1–12, with a blue "B" and a red "e" on "Be": this "Be" is the original logo of Be Inc., NeXT's main competitor in its time.[34]

So, Copland, NeXT, and BeOS, I think are the main things her OS is themed around. Copland more as an apple fandom thing, probably.
