One of the best anime to come out of Japan during the 1990s. It is not for anime fans whose main interests lie with shows with lots of action or romance. This is one of the most thought provoking shows ever, as it explores philosophical ideas such as the nature of reality, perception, solipcism and the idea of God. As usual with these types of shows, prepare for lots of philosophical exploration, psychology and several instances of mind screw. It is one of the more experimental shows to come out as it shows heavy use of surrealism and avant-garde. It also combines those philosophical and experimental ideas with those of cyberpunk. The creator and main writer of the show also went on to write other thought-provoking classics such as Texhnolyze.
Serial Experiments Lain is certainly one of the more brainy and thought-provoking anime to ever come out but prepare to be confused at certain parts of the show due to its mind screwy nature.

The comments that users can write under the videos on the website youtube. It sounds very creative and useful since it allows fairly anonymous users to comment on the video about their likes and dislikes. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the the comments seem to be from either idiots, people full of shit or people that are insane. The best examples of this are comments from people that haven't watched the video to the end, people that think that they know everything, people that haven't researched the topic or even know about the topic that the video discusses which is normally common with videos about anime characters, comic books or movies, people that are highly illiterate or are little children with too much free time on their hands, people that are insane, racist or are conspiracy theorists and people that are highly religious to the point where they think the end of the world is coming every other day.
What are your opinions on youtube comments?
They are from people that are stupid, full of shit, or are just plain nuts.

These are forums and message boards where posters can put characters from the same or different fictional universes against each other in theoretical battles and users will usually debate about the outcome and the victor of the battle. The most popular vs. forums are comicvine, animevice, killermovies, moviecodec, comic book resources, factpile, herochat and outskirts battle dome. They might sound fun at first to have different characters from different fictional universes to fight each other, but the forums are normally less than fun. There are normally hordes of fan wankers, fan boys, and trolls who lurk around the forums that tend to try and steer the conversation away from the topic at hand or try to convince people that their favorite character would win the battle.
A vs forum is one of the worst places to have debates about fictional characters in fictional, theoretical battles that will never happen.

An amazing anime series that isn't for fans of anime with lots of action and easy to understand dialogue. The entire series revolves around quantum mechanics, alternate universes and the unlimited amount of possibilities within those universes. The characters are also able to time travel and travel to some of those said alternate universes. Anyone that isn't familiar with quantum mechanics and physics shouldn't watch this as they will easily become mind screwed. Easily one of the best though-provoking series around and is a great gateway anime for anyone that wishes to experience the medium. Despite it being extremely well-made, it is fairly underrated compared to anime with similar themes since people would rather see things with lots of action or fan service rather than something that's thought-provoking with little action.

Literally one of the hells in the Internet. This is an internet forum for the discussion of anything that's related to role-playing games but just like most internet forums, they can deviate from that and discuss other things. However, most of the members of that particular forum seems to hate pretty much everything, say curse words all the time, accuse fictional characters of being things that they dislike, and regularly use racist or antisemitic words all the time. Even the moderators are pretty terrible as they also seem to unable to stop the insanity of the forums and they sometimes even join in the racism, cursing and trolling. Overall, the place is one of the literal hells of the Internet. Seriously, it's on par with youtube comments, gamefaqs message boards and comic book resources in terms of stupidity and insanity.

Not an illegitimate child or swear word, the manga from the 1980s.
A pretty entertaining but fairly cheesy manga with references to things like heavy metal since the creator is a huge fan of heavy metal. Once you get pass the beginning chapters is where the insanity starts kicking in. Dark Schneider is the main character, a womanizer and supposedly the world's strongest sorcerer. Insanity in the manga includes ridiculous things like breaking a black hole, running faster than light, destroying a galaxy with one hit, creating mini-universes in one's hands and having defenses that are so ridiculous such as having to destroy atoms in the physical and spiritual world. It's a fairly entertaining manga but beware of the cheese.
