Just watched layer 5(did not really feel like making a shitpost so here is a progress on my drawing instead.)
I was not able to watch it for a day or 2 because i was sick. Very, very sick. Like I vomitted 3 times in a day, and had severe chest tightening(there may be other factors aswell but, man, it's because of watching a fucking jackass stunt that made me vomit. First time thats ever happend to me.. watching something and gagging wayy too much. If you ask, it was dave england's omlette stunt. Do NOT watch it. its not for the weak, i fucking beg of you. and they say the show is tamer than the movies).
Anyways, how i felt about Layer 5 is basically this....
filler... but enjoyable.
it was a bit slow... hence why it felt "filler". and most of the stuff happening is either Lain trying to learn more about human concioussness and the wired... or basically Mika going through more torture than a regular guy watching freddy got fingered.(the entire movie is basically tom green... just being tom green).
but it was smooth.. and mind you, im talking about the dub, so maybe the sub is even better.
It had necessary information....
one question...
does the accident and the ministry of information stuff basically show the wired and reality overlapping?(yes signals can overlap but the car, or more specific, the ECU of a car, cant be disrupted by a fucking information signal).
what was those napkins really? for grieving or something?
I know that Taro somehow made her undergo psychological torture by bumping into her and spilling juice...
or maybe the bump itself. is that right? and why so? like for the prophecy or something or.. is there more deeper reason about it?
Was Lain coming onto the big screen at shibuya basically someone in the wired imitating her? Because it is basically a symbolism of how people fake their identities on the internet, or how its possible someone can like, impersonate you.
Or atleast how i interpret it.
someone from the wired luring her in(which is basically Eiri, i know cuz of prior knowledge) just sort of supports my take on layer 3... where lain gets a psyche chip out of nowhere, and not a love letter...
which is, someone intentionally left it there.. maybe someone from the wired, or more specifically, the knights, to "fulfill the prophecy".
anyways, besides the unrelated references to two gross out dark comedies(which i apologize for. yes jackass is technically a dark comedy, what do you think laughing at extreme pain is, regular slapstick?), i have nothing much to say other than I enjoyed it.
basically, what i feel about layer 5 is what the azumangah daioh fandom feels about episode 19, filler but nice, and necessary.
technically nothing is filler in this series, its more or less, slow in this episode, slower than the average slow vibe, but the vibe it gives off is what a filler episode would give off, especially since a part of it starts of with mika waking up from basically implied sex with her boyfriend. Nevertheless, its good. goated
Also on the drawing, its pretty clear which movie covers im basing it off of, since the "i see dead people" is a very dead giveaway but still sort of unrecognizable.
For the ones who recognized which movie covers im basing it off of, do you think I should draw eiri or taro in place of Cindy? I think itd fit if it was taro but I need opinions. Still dont think ill change but ill see.
