No Matter Where You Go

BABE PLEASE SEE A PSYCHIATRIST YOU ARE NOT LAIN IWAKURA FROM SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LÄIN WHICH FEATURES SURREAL AND AVANT-GARDE IMAGERY, AND EXPLORES PHILOSOPHICAL TOPICS SUCH AS REALITY, IDENTITY, AND COMMUNICATION. NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, EVERYONE'S CONNECTED

A two-panel anime meme shows a distressed version of Lain Iwakura crying beside a calm, smiling version of her. The left caption tells her to see a psychiatrist and references Serial Experiments Lain’s surreal themes, while the right caption delivers the series’ central idea that everyone is connected. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone making an overly philosophical or paranoid statement about reality and online connections.
