Very good and very deep.

I watched it dub and have no complaints, but there's the option to watch it sub and a few extras, mostly conceptual drawings and textless opening. There are no commentaries and no offical trailer. Scenes are spaced nicely with 8 scenes per episode. Each episode contains a device (short clip of a body part) and they are all included.

The acid trip that is Lain continues in this third volume, and I'm loving every second of it. The captivating imagery and usage of sound continue to haunt the mind with its masterfully created mood, but as these episodes get down to the nitty-gritty of the series, the plot's got some surprises up its sleeves too. Revelations considering all we've seen are made, highlighting strange details and bringing tons of twists and surprises with it. Those not having paid much attention during earlier episodes will come to regret it now, as these episodes get into what seems to be something that might be heading for Lain's grand finale. Yet, as always with this series, there's absolutely no telling what's going to happen, and all that is yet to be is yet to be seen in the next batch of episodes.

Continuing its haunting imagery and directing, Lain continues to be a stunning product of cinematography, but those who dislike the oft-confusing and occasionally messy storytelling might find something more of their liking in this volume as well, as more distinct sections of the plot start to become clear (And everything else starts to become even vaguer).

5 stars out of me.

this made me realize, if you talking to a stranger, they could easily be any age. Old or young. in this case shes really young and acts adult like. anywho watch it, get freaked out and end up in a metal asylum.
