>>2966283Hmm, I agree with you on the artificial purity thing. I feel like if you do that, it builds up and distorts your image of the person, and not just with anime characters. Besides, Lain isn't portrayed as completely free of lewd thoughts herself, especially in the game.
>>2966258Tbh all Lain's friends except Alice never sat quite right with me. Maybe if the anime was a bit longer and developed them better I wouldn't have that opinion, but as it is they seem to have Lain's best interests in mind only superficially. I think Alice really did only have pure intentions though.
