How is Needy Girl Overdose? I generally love psychological suspense (for lack of a better term) and Serial Experiments Lain is one of my all time favorites, but the first few episodes just didn’t click for me. Anyone else in the same boat?
I think it’s coming together well.
The first couple of episodes were just a barrage of surreal imagery and quick cuts and bits of disjointed narrative, but it started taking more time after about the third episode, sort of backing and filling and connecting all those disjointed bits of imagery and narrative, so we’re getting to know the cast - both the avatars and the people behind them - and learning more about who and what they really are. It’s still relatively surreal and still has a lot of quick cuts and such, but it’s building context so that it’s all making more sense. And most of the sense it’s making is not pleasant - in that at least it’s definitely sort of Lain-ish.
That’s good to know. As long as it is building to something.
