The first episode opens with the mysterious suicide of a high-school girl, Chisa Yomoda. Chisa-chan was a classmate of Lain Iwakura, a quiet, 14-year-old high-school girl. One of the other girls in the class has been receiving e-mail messages from Chisa-chan, and Lain discovers she also has mail from Chisa-chan. In the mail she explains to Lain that she just abandoned her flesh. She assures lain that she still is alive in the 'wired' world. After getting a new 'navi' and adding a 'psyche' circuit, Lain spends more and more time in the wired. It seems that Lain has at least 2 personalities, and Lain's first personality is changing even now. Who is lain? Who are the 'knights'? Can the wired influence the real world with a prophecy? Is the real world nothing but a hologram of the information in the wired?

Its only 13 episodes.

Oh man. I finished this series today. Damn.... Its like Akira's sci-fi-ness the mystery of Paranoia Agent and to top it off, the shear beauty of its story. Oh man. It scared me nearly to death to watch but it made me weep of how beatiful the show is.

For you it probably won't be scary.

What I should say that it was scary for me since it raised many questions in my head that scared me as a child and even now. Questions which I want to answer but if I found out, I may not be alive anymore and if it was wrong, it would be useless. I may be speaking in riddles but this is a personal thing for me.

Hence Lain freaked me out mentally but just watching it, it was awesome. The best anime I've seen in years.
