Kino's Journey?
#9
I enjoyed Lain, and Kino's journey had much of the same surreal feel. However, that is pretty much the only way that they are similar. Kino's Journey is like a string of parables, with the same protagonist for each. Kino moves from country to country to experience the variety of histories and cultures they have to offer, but never becomes a part of any one, never really makes judgements on how "good" or bad" a place is. Kino defines herself as a traveler, and never stays in the same country for more than 3 days at a time.

I've talked to a couple of rental places that specialize in anime, and they say that people either rent a disc, watch a couple of episodes, and decide it's not for them, or will finish the whole series very quickly.

I watched all the way though, and enjoyed it, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you're looking for a series with a definite beginning and end, or a real sense of progress, this is not for you. If you're still interested, I'd say it's worth renting the first disc to at least give it a try.
