Lain came out in 1998 before internet and personal computers were mainspread. This show uses alot of apple computers in it, cause thats is what the staff used while creating the show "To Be Continued", with a colored "Be" is shown at the end of most of the episodes. This is a reference to BeOS, whose logo has similar coloring. The child's Navi that Lain used to use was modeled after the 20th Anniversary Macintosh.

Yes you guessed right Wired is the term they use for the internet.

Might be a good idea with how confusing it can be, but I think I'll continue with sub for now.

Mission failed successfully?

its producer Yasuyuki, Ueda explained he created Lain with a set of values he took as distinctly Japanese; he hoped Americans would not understand the series as the Japanese would. This would lead to a "war of ideas" over the meaning of the anime, hopefully culminating in new communication between the two cultures. Later, when he discovered that the American audience held the same views on the series as the Japanese, he was disappointed.

Probably should of said this when I asked ya to watch it but reccomed watching it in the dub, since to might come accross easier to ya but watch it how ever ya feel comfortable with it.
