Deus reviews |
"As Lain's story continues to unfold, she--and the viewer--become increasingly unsure of what is real and what exists in the cyberrealm of the Wired. The cyber-Lain grows bolder and more unpleasant, spying on her friends and spreading rumors, while her real-world counterpart seems to be fading out of existence. Does she need a body any longer? Does she still possess one?..." "The Knights, who seemed omnipotent within the Wired, lose a critical power struggle: its members are executed by agents of Tachibana Laboratory. Lain greets these revelations and questions with her usual fixed stare and little indrawn breaths. Chiaki Konaka clutters his already-fragmented screenplay with references to alien contacts and some odd theology. Lain debates the nature of God and free will with the Masami Eiri, who researched the idea that human minds are linked like electronic circuits on a subliminal level--before he was found murdered. Director Ryutaro Nakamura doggedly re-uses the same close-ups of Lain's eyes, the shots of power wires, the simple computer graphics, etc. Viewers will love or hate Lain; no one will watch it with indifference..." --Charles Solomon ............ Reviewer: C.J.S. from Tampa, Florida. The series only gets better as it goes along, and "Deus" is no exception. Be forewarned, though, when saying that "Lain" gets better, that also means it gets weirder. I recommend watching each volume twice. Usually I figure things out after the second viewing. ............. Reviewer: Robert Gottshall. In the thick of it now! This 3rd DVD in the Lain series continues the insanity. Some of the answers about who Lain is and just what da heck is goin on are revealed finally. Very satisfying Eps in the haunting, deliberate style that is Lain. One to go... ............... Reviewer: Cagdas Kocyigit (shadow@young.com.tr) from Istanbul, Turkey. Lain is a new way to look at our lives. Are we really the individuals or parts of an omnipotent supreme being (the universe itself)? May be the WIRED style of life stimulates and makes us evolve... Is Lain different? These are but a few questions among hundreds of others in the domain of Lain series... This is a milestone in anime kingdom. A new bible in style... ................. Reviewer: semuta from mpls, mn. i agree with above reviewer. this is the best anime series i have seen in years. high-tech and very much for the computer-literate fan. top notch stuff. and lain is just way too cute. .................. Reviewer: A viewer from Chicago, Il. Can't wait for the last Disk to be released!! Release me from this world!! I'm so addicted to Lain! I LOVE dark anime! Why couldn't they release the entire series at the same time? I guess it is the suspense. Love Lain, Be Wired. |
