1* ChildrenVoicingChildren: The 14-year old Lain's voice actress, Creator/KaoriShimizu, voiced Lain when she was only 15-years old and still a third year junior high school student. The video game was also her debut role as a voice actor to boot too.
2* FollowTheLeader: Subverted to a point. ''Serial Experiments Lain'' is often mistaken to have been made to chase the coat tails of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', but the show's writer didn't even see ''Evangelion'' until the fourth episode of ''Lain''. However, you can feel the essence later in the series, especially from ''Eva'''s last two episodes.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original box set was out of print for many years, due to the American branch of [[Creator/{{Geneon}} Pioneer/Geneon Entertainment]] ceasing operations, but a new combined DVD/Blu-ray box set was released in late 2012 by Creator/{{Funimation}}.
4* ReferencedBy: ''Serial Experiments Lain'' was one of the inspirations for ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''.
5* WordOfGod: Mika [[spoiler:actually tried to delve into the wired like Lain, and got "stuck". [[AndIMustScream After that her mind is literally gone and her brainless body is left for the rest of the series]].]]
