A girl who calls herself “ Ito Can't Sleep ”
on the Internet, and who describes herself as a musician, artist and writer,
recently became a trend after sharing a video in which she appears
dressed as Lain Iwakura, the iconic protagonist of “ Serial
Experiments Lain ,” while teaching a class on website programming. In
the video, Ito offers a tutorial on how to create a website from scratch,
without prior programming knowledge, explaining in detail each tool she uses.
The video, while receiving a lot of praise for its
content and style, was not without a peculiar technical error. Ito
forgot to apply a mirror effect to the recording, so everything appears
horizontally inverted . This detail has caused a mix of confusion and
humor among viewers, especially since Lain Iwakura's signature locks
appear on the wrong side .
The online community has reacted quickly to this
curious video. Comments like “ This is the only class I'll ever
watch ” and “ Lain would never use Opera GX ” highlight
both admiration for the content and fidelity to Lain's character. Some users
joke about the true intention of the video, saying: “ There is
no way the purpose of this video is to teach us how to program, ha ha ha, ” while
others have praised Ito's work on his website: “ I visited your
website and thought 'oh yeah, respectable for-' but then it loaded completely
and I was like 'geez, this looks pretty good.' “ It's quite charming . ”
However, not all the comments have been positive.
Some users have been skeptical about the authenticity of the video,
mentioning “ How the hell does he have eyes so big?” That must
be some editing, it's unreal " and " It's
clear that he has 500 kg of makeup and at least 30 filters, his face sometimes
distorts when he speaks . " Despite this,
most have enjoyed the experience, with nostalgic comments such as “ I
didn't find this video. He found me. Damn, this has 2008 vibes . ”
“Serial Experiments Lain” is
a cult series that has maintained its popularity since its launch in 1998. With
its unique blend of cyberpunk, philosophy, and exploration of identity in the
digital age, the series has resonated deeply with anime fans and the
technology . Lain Iwakura has become a symbol of the relationship
between humans and technology, a topic that remains relevant today.
