Serial Experiments Lain

Jigoku Shoujo incorporates similar psychological thriller elements, along with more dark philosophical themes. It is less cryptic than Lain, but that can be said of nearly all anime. It goes more into individual stories than the story of the protagonist and explores the question of "what could any one person possibly do to another that would make the victim choose to sacrifice their soul in order to get rid of their antagonist?" The philosophical themes focus around revenge, the human soul, and suffering instead of technology, its implications for humanity, and the human consciousness; however, the dark and philosophical nature remains.
