Lain is one of those complex shows that I need to rewatch now as an adult because I've watched it when too young and didn't really grasp it.

Don't worry, you won't grasp it even as an adult.

Glad to see some love for my favorite anime. The creators other show, Haibane Renmei is just as good (but much weirder)

Haibane Renmei is really, really good. I went in with zero expectations and was blown away. Won't even say anything else - just watch it!

Wanted to pile on the Haibane Renmei train ­— what a good show!

It’s a beautifully sad anime, still play the album version of the free bird intro and blue flow song sometimes

Fans can send up to 10 messages for free to AI Lain by logging into a Goggle account,

Wtf is Goggle?

typo of google.

Can't wait to see the cluster Twitter/X is going to make out of this.

I think this is pretty cool, a great concept perfectly fitting for Lain.

The connecting to IP address is frustrating unless lain has an entirely different network stack…

Don’t want to spoil it, but want to let you guys know even this sounds exiting, the website only admits corpo google login and if you want the full features it cost 20 dollars. Powered by OpenAI … so privacy concerned be advised

@mo_lave i tried it out and it was kind of disappointing. She didn't really "seem" like Lain, just chatGPT.

Granted I don't actually know what she'd have to say to seem authentic...but this ain't it.

Also service is unreliable, i have to send her each message several times because the server is overloaded.

Those cels they're raffling off make it tempting to sign up, except i know i wouldn't win. I'd give my only remaining leg for an authentic production cel from Serial Experiments Lain.

I'll admit I haven't tried it yet. I haven't watched the show yet and just shared the news because they had the guts to pull this off. I was actually surprised Steins;Gate hasn't released an Amadeus chatbot already. We're at a point where Amadeus can be a quite convincing conversational partner.
