Serial Experiments Lain

"Present day....Present Time"

All begins with the mysterious suicide of a high-school girl, Chisa Yomoda. Chisa-chan was a classmate of Lain Iwakura, a quiet and introverted, 14-year-old high-school girl. One of the other girls in the class has been receiving e-mail messages from Chisa-chan, and Lain discovers she also has mail from Chisa-chan. In the mail she explains to Lain that she just abandoned her flesh. She assures lain that she still is alive in the 'wired' world.

After getting a new computer (called Navi) and adding a 'psyche' circuit, Lain spends more and more time in the wired. It seems that Lain has at least 2 personalities, and Lain's first personality is changing even now. Who is lain? Who are the 'knights'? Can the wired influence the real world with a prophecy? Is the real world nothing but a hologram of the information in the wired?


Serial Experiments Lain its a scifi-drama anime of 13 episodes with a great animation style and a fantastic soundtrack intro featuring the japanese group "BoA". My favorite character is Lain, specially when she dresses with her bear outfit ^_^.

Last Exile

"What Do You See in the Sky?" Alex Rowe.

On the world of Prester, a massive storm called the Grand Stream separates the two countries of Anatoray and Disith. War rages between the two nations, but with nearly all technology controlled by a mysterious group known only as The Guild, engagments are constrained by rules laid out by that organization.

In the Anatorian city of Nokia, Claus Valca and Lavie Head are vanship pilots who run a courier buisness with a near 100% success rate. Folowing in their fathers' footsteps, this daring pair hopes to place their names among the highest ranks of vanship pilots. Their ultimate goal is to be the first team to cross the Grand Stream in a single vanship, completing the task their fathers perished in years before.


Then one day, after an unfortunate encounter with a crippled vanship fleeing from a strange ship, Claus and Lavie are asked to deliver a young girl by the name of Alvis to the Battleship Silvana. Will this new mission help them move toward their dream, or cause the duo to drift apart?

Last Exile its the masterpiece of Gonzo Productions, celebrating their 10th anniversary. The CG in Last Exile are breathtaking and well done also the original sound track. I really like this serie, specially Claus and Lavie. The design of the vanships and the Silvana its very amazing and incredible.
