Not going to try and convince you otherwise, because the majority of anime is cancer and your aversion is not misplaced. That said, while it's probably not as enlightening as reading a decent essay on transhumanism, Lain is pretty damn solid.

And if nothing else came out of your discussion with the weeby chap, it will have at least gotten me to give the soundtrack a spin outside of the show itself. I felt it captured the series perfectly, but never thought to listen to it alone.
