SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN

About:

“Lain Iwakura, a junior high school girl, lives in suburban Japan with her middle-class family, consisting of her inexpressive older sister Mika, her emotionally distant mother, and her computer-obsessed father; Lain herself is somewhat awkward, introverted, and socially isolated from most of her school peers. The status-quo of her life becomes upturned by a series of bizarre incidents that start to take place after she learns that girls from her school have received an e-mail from a dead student.”[1]

Background:

I noticed a distinct lack of seeded remuxes of Lain on Nyaa. There’s plenty of encodes, and an unseeded remux, but no readily available remux. Because of this, I ended up finding a remux from a Russian release group called “AnimeCeh.” This also included the English dub. I also decided to compile the Lain subs from Nipkow’s encode into this remux, so that I would have their subtitles in this release, because I like them. I prefer their styling to what was originally within the AnimeCeh remux. This was a personal remux, but I decided to upload it so that others can have a non-encoded copy of Lain.

In addition to the 13 episodes of the show, there’s also the two OVAs and the NCOPEDs.

FAQ:

"Why not these other Lain subs instead?"
I didn’t know about them.

"Where is inserttorrenthere that you delayed?"
It’s being worked on, and I cannot set definitive dates for those.

"Wtf is this bloat? I can get a 5gb Lain in 2 seconds."
You can, but this is a remux of the JP-BD. The intent is to not compress anything, they’re MKVs made from the Blu-Ray, without encoding. This is to keep a high bitrate, keep all the grain, and avoid any quality loss.

"Will you do insertShowHere next?"
I’m working on a lot of things right now, so I probably cannot.
