Lain Index

Close the world. Open the next.

This award winning series has been heralded as one of the greatest, most exciting new Anime titles to be produced in years. Lain dares to question the meaning and standards of our lives, and forms many philosophical questions... few with easy answers.

"This work follows a Junior High School girl, Lain, as she explores the often fuzzy borders between the wired and the real worlds. We were impressed with its willingness to question the meaning of contemporary life as it depicted the development of the computer and the ways in which real people live. Much of the content is very down-to-earth school friendships and family relations - but the questions this work asks are extremely philosophical and deep."
