If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like NHK ni Youkoso! add

Both contain extensive and exhaustive commentary on a particular modern social phenomenon: in Lain's case, it is on internet personae and the nature of the online world itself, while NHK explores the world of Otaku and anime fandom, as well as those with crippling internet addictions, "hikkomori", and other people whose daily existence is hampered by paranoia. NHK, although still difficult to watch at times, has the greater level of "entertainment value", although neither is exactly "light viewing" and both contain some very disturbing parts. Tone-wise, NHK is noticeably more humorous and dialogue-heavy, while Lain is the more self-consciously "abstract" of the two.

If you liked Mezzo Forte add

...then you might like A Kite add

Mezzo Forte is a far superior, far less depressing, and much more entertaining version of the same story. That is the the better way to go as long as you skip the uncut version.
