The Nextlander Watchcast 058: Serial Experiments Lain: Episodes 10-13

Every layer of Serial Experiments Lain has now been explored by our intrepid Watchcasting team, and now all that's left is to put the remaining pieces together, attack and dethrone Internet God, and if that doesn't work out, we can always hit the factory reset button.

I've found this video to be the best in clearing up any misuderstandings, but it's still much left to interpretation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoUmj4D5fjc

So I've always been super on guard with this anime since I've heard multiple people say "Oh yeah I've finally figured out this show after the 3rd/4th watch" and definitely took that to heart too much. While they're probably not wrong, that is a very intimidating way to hear about a show. But I have to say even on a first watch I found it easier to digest than I feared. It's no Angel's Egg. I really enjoyed this from a horror/vibes standpoint and as a strange time capsule into an era of sci-fi. Glad I finally watched it. Now to watch 13 explainer videos???
