![]() This opening used some incredibly clever tricks with pixelated graphics and tons of fading effects. This opening took us on a strange, melancholy trip through Lain’s subconscious. I’m still surprised that someone managed to make an anime show out of such a cute little girl, but Lain was a unique masterpiece. Serial Experiments Lain somehow showed us the main character’s difficult life as an immensely powerful cyber-punk girl, combining hand-drawn animation with shadeless polygons. This opening was all about clashing sensory images and sounds. After a few seconds of static, we heard the beautiful alto voice of a woman singing with a subtle indie rock band. The first words of Serial Experiments Lain struck anime fans instantly, like some home video experiment gone horribly wrong.
