I recently started rewatching Serial Experiments: Lain and realized that it's the perfect watch for a hot summer night: It's chill, eerie and matches the summer night vibe perfectly.

What's your favorite anime for hot summer nights and why?

Steins;Gate has been recommended to me a few times, but I couldn't get into it, last time I tried. Maybe it's time to try once more

I once wrote what I think was a really good definition of the show's theme.

But to boil it down, the character at the heart is supposed to be having a hard time reality, and that slow spin of the web that he has to undo isnt supposed to feel fun but require our character to go through hell and back to figure out who he is.

Also if I can recommend, watch it in japanese, they get the ages of the voices a lot better.
