Crypto Twitter friends, especially those who enjoy diving deep into the rabbit hole—if you haven't watched the anime "Lain" yet, it's really worth your time. The entire series is available for free online, and it offers astonishing foresight into understanding networks, parallel dimensions, and the metaphors of a decentralized world. It's not just an anime; it's more like a letter to the network gods. A must-watch.

Wow, Lain is really amazing. After watching it, my head is buzzing. The setting of parallel dimensions fits perfectly within the Web3 context.

《Lain》 is truly amazing. Halfway through, I was thinking, isn't this just about the future of Web3? The parallel dimension settings are so similar to the parallel operation of chains... I should have watched this earlier.

Damn it, I've already watched Lain before, but now that you mention it, I want to rewatch it again.

ngl lain hits different when you're deep in the chainspace... that show basically predicted decentralization before we even had proper consensus mechanisms. the network metaphors are lowkey a masterclass in understanding how nodes think. worth the rewatch fr

Oh, I've seen it long ago. It's truly amazing. I was just marveling at how the writer was divinely inspired at that time.

Damn, I should have watched it earlier. I heard that the set of concepts about consciousness and networks in Lain directly predicted Web3?

actually... lain's decentralized consciousness metaphor is way more rigorous than half the "web3 philosophy" people cite without understanding the underlying trust assumptions, ngl

I've already seen it. That movie is truly legendary, especially the metaphor for the protocol layer, it’s like talking about a parallel universe of Layer2.
