And here I liked the stories about experiments in the past. I still haven't found any information about Masami Airy earl. But it's a pity - I thought it was partially based on real events (like the same John Tytor from Stein's gate). Of course, I may be wrong.
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.

it also reminded me very much of evangelion, first with these lane doppelgangers, straight ayans; and then with this universal merging of the planet

It was like I was watching anime and switching to the Ren-TV channel mixed in. Like this anime is not crazy enough, since they decided to throw all sorts of facts at us?

But even in such a situation, Lane managed to go on a date!!! It doesn't work out in normal life here... Lane, I'm not watching anime to humiliate my self-esteem!

And yes, of course we missed the man at the end, wrapped in duct tape. This clarifies everything! (no)

@Kritik-tok: so this is the same chief researcher of the Tachibana Research Institute, who was told about literally before being shown in the tape.

In fact, all the "documentary" inserts were a prehistory to his appearance.

And the tape is probably in the places where the train cut it.
