Overview
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.

The creation of a common neural network is very similar to the human complementation project from Evangelion - "let's unite all of us into a collective conscious!". Here with the help of Schumann resonance (as dolphins communicate with ultrasound, humans can also resonate in this field), and there through the third impact.
The plot here is very good, although sometimes there are too many phrases that do not carry a plot meaning - as if they were trying to increase the duration of the series. It was possible, as it seems to me, to fit into 12 episodes.
But things are interesting - the seventh protocol, fusion, pseudo-gods existing at the expense of people (hello, noragami!), rewriting events, the network and the real world. It's pretty good.
It seems to me that this is the anime, after watching which people then Google "Experiments Lane plot sense" :3 Because without a gradual understanding of what is happening, it will be like in Evangelion: "What, what, what angels, where did Adam come from, what is this cunning Gendo plotting, who are all these dark people, what happened in the end?" And then you watch it a second time and...
oh, by the way, Lane's phrases like "I am me, Lane is Lane" are just like Shinji. He was also constantly talking.
(well, it seems clear now... more or less)
I love Lane. How wildly I wanted to reconsider *___* But it's already full of holes. I found something supposedly "similar." I hope you like it.
