Close the World. Open the Next. Decades before the internet was something people carried around in their pockets, these words introduced anime fans to a surreal existence where computer monitors served as portals to brave new worlds. Serial Experiments: Lain and its deceptively “ordinary” title character redefined an entire generation’s concept of the world wide web, prompting us all to suspiciously take note of humming power lines and central processing units. Follow along as fourteen year old Lain – driven by the abrupt suicide of a classmate – logs on to the Wired and promptly loses herself in a twisted mass of hallucinations, memories, and interconnected-psyches. Close the World. Open the Next. It’s as simple as the flip of a switch.

This box set contains five individual DVD cases, similar to the Japanese "Resurrection" box set. Each DVD case has a small one-page insert with art from the show, and each disc's art appears to be unique from other English and Japanese releases.
No catalog numbers are provided on the main box set or each DVD case, making this box set difficult to locate online.
The text on the bottom of the box set notes: "Manufactured date: October 2003. Broadcast Date: September 15, 2000. First broadcast on Tooniverse."
Some Korean websites selling this box set release note the text "(중간에 끊기는 현상이 발생합니다. 제작상의 오류가 아닙니다)", or in English: "(Some interruptions occur. This is not a production error. )" The nature of these interruptions are currently not known, thought they may be a result of interruptions during the original broadcast of Lain in Korea, or possibly censorship of the show that was required in Korea.

We're all connected... The world around us, made of people, tactile sensation, and culture has begun to blur with the wired world inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiences. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a 13 year-old girl, discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an email from the dead girl: "I just abandoned my body. I still live here..." All 13 episodes of this amazing series collected in a special boxed set featuring original art from Yoshitoshi Abe (character designer)!
Nakamura keeps the pace of serial experiments lain deliberately slow, imbuing the early episodes with a sense of mounting dread that pays off as the plot develops. The anime technique of panning across static images creates a meditative stillness that works perfectly, and the repetition of certain key images gives them a dreamlike significance. Viewers will either love or hate the complex plot, which seems intent on incorporating every possible paranoid conspiracy, from sinister nanotechnology to alien plots. However--unlike many other anime--it somehow hangs together, and frankly not understanding everything is part of the pleasure of this kind of story. Fans of action-heavy anime and people who like every loose end tied up should steer clear, but those who surrender themselves to the slowly unfolding mysteries of the plot will be amply rewarded. --Simon Leake

Amazon.com. Serial Experiments Lain (1998) was one of the first artistic/surreal anime series that combined a fragmentary narrative with collages of disparate visuals. Although she can barely deal with e-mail at the beginning of the series, 13-year-old Lain metamorphoses into a computer guru involved in The Wired, a cyber-dimension that represents the sum of human electronic communications.

Ultimately, these are good ISO-rips of the Lain DVDs, but if you can't backup them using MakeMKV, you won't be able to burn them either. If you want to see if any DVD is encrypted in the same manner as this, I recommend using DVDshrink - if the video preview is mostly made up of green blocks, it's not something you can burn unless you can decrypt it.

Disturbing, perplexing, sometimes infuriating, Ryutaro Nakamura's serial experiments lain covers some of the same themes as The X-Files and the films of David Lynch. When introverted 13-year-old Lain receives an e-mail from a dead classmate, she gains access to "the Wired," a virtual world that promises unlimited power to those who can exploit it.
