Sum it up in a Sentence
A young girl's descent into "the wired" takes her away from her friends, family, and reality itself.
Main Description
Lain Iwakura appears to be an ordinary girl, with almost no experience with computers. Yet the sudden suicide of a schoolmate, and a number of strange occurrences, conspire to pull Lain into the world of the Wired, where she gradually learns that nothing is what it seems to be... not even Lain herself.

Personal Opinions
Mirsha
I downloaded and watched this for one reason.
Original creator: Yoshitoshi Abe. aka 'He Who Did Haibane Renmei'
Lain continues in part Abe's sense of design and progression. The colour tones of the episodes are replicated through out all the episodes and abused in the more surreal. The series takes a very abusive look at itself, refusing to conform to any sort of exterior time line formed by the viewer. Events happens as they are presented, or maybe not. The difference between the real and the surreality is a significant point in this series as it questions the nature of reality.
This whole series is very confusing and is the sort of shit you should not defiantly watch when hung over as you'll end up like me, scrambling between philosophical statements trying to work out some kind of middle ground the series is constantly pushing you away from in order to find your own explanation.
