I actually enjoyed Lain. I didn't really find it slow at all. I've actually watched the whole series twice. Excel Saga on the other hand took me awhile to really get into it. I forced myself to watch it in the begining, it wasn't until the 18th or 19th episode that I finally started wanting to see the rest of the series.
The only series I couldn't stand and couldn't continue were Reign and Utena. Reign was just horrible and I returned the R1 that someone got me as a Secret Santa present (I had watched the first 3 episodes on AS when it was on). I rented the first two discs of Utena and only got through 2 episodes before giving up on it. I know Utena is pretty popular, so I'm planning to pick up the FX set a couple orders from now (I think there are 20 or so titles ahead of Utena on my list). I'm just waiting for Haibane Renmei and FMP to be released before making my next big order. Hopefully, Utena will be more interesting the second time around (and if not, it will just go on my trade list).
