Opening A Day
To refresh your memory or introduce you to an interesting opening animation sequence, I submit to you the opening of the award winning 1998 television series Serial Experiments Lain. Bôa’s “Duvet” was used as the series’ opening theme.

Hmmm, I kind of want to watch Lain again. It was interesting in 1997, but 2010 is a very different environment. The Wired happened via social networks and cellular phones have caught up with and surpassed the super futuristic elements, so it could be a solid and different experience this go round. Of course, I also now have a degree in Communication to throw at the Marshall McLuhan influences, so that could be a factor.
Too bad Geneon went under and I didn’t grab the series while it was still affordable. Maybe someone will license rescue it and put out a thin pack.
That brought back some good memories. My Lain DVDs have been a cornerstone of my anime collection for years. My plush bearsuit Lain has been a cornerstone of my bookshelf for years as well.
Such a great series.
Such an incredible track… definitely sums up the series with great acuity.
This is probably one of my favorite openings. It is just phenomenal.
Lain nailed it pretty well on the predication of the near future. Even when it arrived in the US, the world was a completely different place socially, and Lain was a look at what would be (minus the internet demi-gods). Amazing series that has never come close to being replicated and a must have for any anime fan.
