Weird, warped and just plain strange. That's the succinct description anyway. Has anyone found a mobious.co.uk yet? Has anyone founded a mobious.co.uk yet? If not, why not?

To anyone who's wondering what I'm talking about, it's an address referenced in one of the episodes which caught my eye due to the '.uk' extension. I don't think it has any particular relevence to the story but The trouble is, if you don't catch every little detail, like this one, who do you expect to follow a story like Lain???

Lain is the story of the Wired (think Internet squared) and its interactions with the real world, whether the real world wants it or not. Stuck somewhere in the middle of this is Lain herself. And having watched seven episodes, thats about all I can be sure off...

Strangely enough, I don't actually like the artwork for this series. It has a couple of nice pieces but for the most part the style is not to my taste. It does, however, complement the storyline in some ways. Pretty artwork just wouldn't fit.

I'm looking forward to getting the next volume of this. I have no idea if I will understand it, but I am looking forward to watching it...
