Why do people like this anime?

Its the way they made the story. its True that it is rushed and has a lot of unwanted screen times ,but they just show us the society. what did you see anyway ? a view of normal buildings ? they represent the 90s era, I was interested when. I found out that we are seeing the anime from the perspective of a software and not a real
human , Although the last few episodes didnt make much sense. must rewatch It Also I like the idea of Using some natural resonance to
connect every human being without the need of a computer by directly sending the message to the brain via the shumann resonance or something ,I really dont remember the exact name. Here The software is the God ,since it can control the internet, It really is nice to see intersing concepts in Anime .

Its in one way similar to The Matrix. We are living inside a simulation ,but here the its the reverse. We are living in reality controlled by the internet. were the clear line between imaginary and reality breaks as lain is the connection between internet ( The simulation) and reality

other than lain rest of the characters were boaring and soulless I agree with that, but they were not that much important for the story to begin with (except few) so I didn't really cared
But lain was very intresting character, I don't know what are you yapping about. Her character growth throughout the series was phenomenal.

And why didn't we no nothing about her before the whole wired thing?
that's because she didn't existed before that, she was created in wired. If you actually watched the show with your brain open you may have seen that
But I don't expect someone who can give Tokyo ghoul √A 10/10 to watch shows with their brain open

With all that said, you actually make a very good argument about why should someone give platinum end 10/10
yes I also should score it 10 because of the fact that everyone is killed in this show
as a result the pointless universe of platinum end dosnt exist any more
I still don't understand how can the writer of death note can write this nonsense
the kid said if he became god he would just kill himself, but the other idiots still made him God and what did he do when he became god?
oh that's right he killed himself
if you find that intresting and not lain's character then your iq is just lower than your dick size

at the end I just want to say, the whole argument about why you don't find serial experiments lain intresting and everyone else does can be answered in one sentence
everyone has different taste in anime

yours just happened to be an exceptionally bad one

You have shows like Real Drive and Ghost in the Shell SAC that have ACTUAL SUBSTANCE by putting thought into their scifi concepts and explaining them clearly as opposed to being confusing in order to be thought provoking. I doubt any of you have actually learned anything from pondering the thought provoking questions of Lain.

You people are actually bothering to argue with a baiting edgy troll...

I loved the visuals and overall aesthetic of the show. Plot didn't hit home completely, but i felt it was decent enough.

There is an argument to be made for it being slightly overrated tho.

P.S. Insane opening.

I completely agree. It’s super boring and confusing. Could have been condensed into a 90 minute movie and would have been better. If you watch it back for a second time, everything makes sense, but it’s so boring no one wants to sit through that again

Yeah i never understood the hype dispite liking philosophical and dark animes. It was an absolute snooze fest for me but the intro made it worth while. Different folks different strokes ig

the anime was actually kinda good but the ugly ahh art style coupled with the bad animation just distracted me all the time

you just don't understand it's point

I'm gonna say it's got nothing to do with the show. I think it has to do with the fact that it took you an entire year to watch 13 episodes.

if we're being honest right now. The majority of the fans you see on other platforms like TikTok haven't seen the anime.
