>>855276>the connecting theme would be media influencing peopleLain is a throwback to the cyber-futurist's dream internet of the 90's in some respects. One of the aspects of Lain as a series is that she exists as a conscious entity out of the control of others, in spite of their efforts. It's a different theme to that of media influencing people, because Lain isn't the sort of media we know today. She's not a controller, but an agent of chaos who disseminates information freely, and to great and also terrible effect.
>Key is pretty similar to lain personality wiseLain's personality changes dramatically over the course of the show, as it covers her birth all the way to her transcendence. Given that, it's hard to take the way Lain acts in a given episode and call that "Lain's personality".
