Artist Rachel Rossin introduced me to this anime series from 1998. Serial Experiments Lain is an early cyberpunk mystery (that predates and heavily influences The Matrix) where the online and offline worlds blur in strange and unexpected ways. The show has some really beautiful art direction and points at today’s “extremely-online” social alienation with incredible foresight.

some surprisingly in-depth sci fi worldbuilding for me at the time i read it, and personal dramas that i probably hadn't experienced but that felt relatable nonetheless.
i can vaguely remember the very over-the-top TV adaptation that nickelodeon made, you have to wonder how many kids were put onto body swapping fiction by this stuff...
attached pic is not my favorite one or anything, i just liked the way bug boy looks

Been rec'd several times already and now I know why. This show knows what must be seen and what can be spoken. Imaginative, detailed animation equal parts Mœbius and Ghibli. They went all out with the diversity of flora and fauna on the planet. This combo of beauty and body horror reminds me of Made in Abyss. And the healthy dose of ecological mystery reminds me of Raised by Wolves (RIP). Give me more.
