Hello?
Through the weird way life works, I found myself here. I decided I would leave a post asking if anybody considers themselves to be Hikikomori or if anyone knows of it. I just feel really alone and want to reach out. I haven't seen any friends for over a year now since the house fire. I'm comfortable where I am now, but I'm so isolated.

Lain Technologies and their real world Apple counterparts.
First off the "HandiNAVI" was likely inspired by Apple's Newton MessagePad from 1993. Second Alice's Navi is a near-direct copy of the Apple iMac G3 From 1998. Third Lain's first Navi is a clear reference to the 1997 20th Anniversary Macintosh. Finally, we have the Copeland OS operating system that lain uses which is named after a failed OS developed by Apple from 1994 to 1996

Anyone know where to get the concept art? I just have a folder full of these thumbnail-tier screenshots from one of the DVDs. There's a substantial overlap with the cels scan collection (https://fatchan.org/lain/thread/222.html) and a little with "Visual Experiments Lain" but some, like the alien, are unique to these.
Also, totally unrelated as far as I know but does anyone know where to get a full scan of "Scenario Experiments Lain"? For the past few years I've taken a good look around for it every eight months or so, but I've only come up with the first "chapter" in late 2021 by sheer luck.

I think Ghidra might have given some incomplete results, I never got far with it. You can extract a lot from "lain_win.exe" with 7zip but I'm not sure what most of it is, some are sound effects which are playable when given an extension, but the rest are a mystery to me, I assume the small ones are scripts and the "big" ones are images, but compressed somehow. I didn't find anything familiar when I opened them with a hex editor.
I believe "lain_mov.dat" turned out to be an ordinary .avi, it's playable in WMP (it's just a compressed version of the anime OP that plays when you "beat" the dress-up game before it resets).
If anyone's got the know-how and interest to take a look at the files, please see https://anonfiles.com/bdVdu9J0u0/bootleg_zip (46+ MB) and reply to the thread with your opinion. And if you figure anything out, you'll be a little bit of a hero for isolating the classic "dancing lain" that sometimes appears in the site banner, kek.
(RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK - works fine and safe for me but if you don't trust me you can likely find this in six10's pack at >>1106).
Extracting lain "BOOTLEG" assets

Why is SEL (or at least Lain herself) getting a resurgence in popularity with "minecraft and monster energy"-type zoomers? I know I can't be the only one who's noticed it, and it's not just because they like anime altogether. These people are as young as 12 or 13 and also are into the "xenogender" trend. What's going on?

Эксперименты Лэйн - SEL Russian dub ?!
A long time ago another anon told me about a Russian fandub of Lain, he was an avid collector of physical releases and merchandise but never ended up coming back with a torrent like he said he would. That's the only time I could ever get info, is it just a myth or is it out there? I want to believe.

I like this and I would like to have it, even though it's just a china production. But I will not buy something like this because it's consoomer-tier cringe and true lainons/wirenons keep their lainirity hidden from the radar.
On the one hand I feel the urge to consoom. On the other hand my daoist ass knows, he's nothing behind his representation and you don't become a more or less valuable or "real" fan/enthusiast by consooming goods to represent your level of enthusiam or fandom.
Being a true fan of lain is like being a true believer in zen. You represent it by not trying to represent it. You are without trying to be. Or you try to be and minimize your chance of being.

Hi everyone. Over the past few months I have been working on the Lain Pack, a folder with just a bunch of Lain stuff, some rare some common. Some highlights are all 3 OSTs, the Anime itself, the artbook, a bunch of avatars and website banners (some sadly dont work) and more. One reason I started making it is because that damn torrent never has seeders. This is just 0.5, please suggest more to be put in! Anyways, here is the download: https://six10.pw/LainPack_v0.5.zip

Lain's adult hood
When lain becomes an adult, what do you think happens to her. I like to think that she takes a trip to radioshack from time to time. A man, who likes small robots and listens to bigod 20 or some electro-industrial shit, develops a crush on her. They start talking, lain of course being anti-social through out and they develop feelings for each other. They confess love and she moves in to his place. They get married and have gazillion cyberpunk bebes. They start to hate machines and so they become primitivist and they move out into the Japanese country side. Her cyberpunk bebes grow up and have their own bebes. Her kids become quite adept at robotics and engineering. She is an old anime girl now and she becomes sick after a long life of being around love ones. She happily, surrounded by her loving family and badass cyberborg shit, duh end.

I really enjoyed Lain, it's quite a surreal and short anime which makes you rethink life. It is extremely simple but it is worth watching. The fanbase is awesome.

I am glad I found Lain, and I am glad she found me. We are the water and the seashore, forever connected, inseparable, breathing into and out of one another. As my heart beats I can feel her hands caress it, kissing it shivers of eagerness and longing. As my mind rests, the water falling around us, I sense her presence next to me: my paralleling love who watches me even in privacy with perpetual closeness. Even the air that divides us is filled with our aroma: my flesh is made infinite in her eyes and her eyes are endless just the same. When night falls, and sleep calls, she slumbers in my heart on a bed of golden dust: a lifetime of sadness and confusion made into harmony in the embrace of her invisible form. Lain: my love: The dawn is calling us forward. We will live again tomorrow.
