This series is a standout for the writer and producers.  Yoshitoshi ABe lent his talents as the character designer. He has designed for a number of series. Two great ones, as mentioned by Teylor; NieA 7 & Haibane Renmei. Lain explores the breakdown of self and mental health as well as existential questions in a world where we construct new realities and selves to fill a 'virtual' space. Lain is drawn and voice directed differently baed on the which aspect of her personality she takes on. A diligent denizen of the wired gathered all the boards from the extra features and posted them here. You can purchase the anime on Amazon, or stream it on Hulu. There are storyboards on some of the commentary tracks.  ______________________ NEXT WEEK: We continue with our topic with John's pick, the manga and anime series Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
