Hey there, I'm new to Serial Experiments Lain, I thoroughly loved the anime and I wanted to dive deeper and explore what it's like being in the fandom. I'll be honest: I have read some posts here before and I was a bit perplexed to say the least. I get that that there were a new wave of fans during 2020's, but I don't understand why people scrutinize Lain's character or the amount various AI generated works (Protocol 7 comes to mind, though I'm not trying to bash it.) Overall, I'm just curious what fans of Lain tend to be like online and whether I want go further down the rabbit-hole or not. Thank you for your time.
