Just like any good existentialist movie ('Donnie Darko' comes to mind here) it won't make too much sense until you've watched the whole thing and maybe even thought about it a bit. No offense to zetes, but you shouldn't watch this anime expecting to find character portraits or traditional 'slice-of-life' drama. And many of the episodes ended with great 'what the hell just happened?' moments, that forced me to revise all my theories and definitely made me want watch more. I'm not going to pretend to be a film critic, but the directing seemed pretty effective at creating the kind of atmosphere that the series needed. In this sense, the series creates perfect order out of total chaos, an aspect that I particularly liked. But by the time you finish it, I guarantee that all of these things will make perfect sense (even why Lain's family seems so shallow and undeveloped). When you first start watching the series, it makes absolutely no sense, and every episode just seems to be adding to the complexity by introducing new aspects. Don't expect hardcore analytic philosophy, just a nice sprinkling of references and some interesting perspectives. Yeah, a lot of effort does go into making the show more mysterious, but eventually it really does touch on themes that would appeal to those looking for something intellectual, especially functionalism, descriptive materialism, and the problems with a wholly materialistic interpretation of identity.

To put things in perspective, this is like watching the first 35 minutes of a movie and being convinced that it's worthless.

For one, it's kind of depressing when people watch 4 episodes of a show and feel like they know everything about it. I feel like I have to say a few things about zetes's rant.
