Serial Experiments Lain

This show is amazing. It's Japanese Anime from 1998 made with a low budget, but it is one of the most philosophical things I've ever watched. Despite the low budget, I quite like the animation style. The pacing feels slow throughout the first 5 or so episodes, but a lot happens. Throughout the 13 episodes, there is so much symbolism to be found. Like, symbolism city. If I had a college-level philosophy course, the final would be finding symbolism and meaning in this show and explaining the concepts it explores.

Thank you for reading, and have a spectacular day.
