Serial Experiments Lain Complete H.264/AC3 Jap/Eng Audio Eng Sub

Ok, so this is not just a re-upload. What happened was, the original torrents for these episodes are not only almost dead, they don't work too well. They would play for a few minutes, then quit. I fixed them by re-encoding them and re-muxing the audio and subtitles. The format itself is MKV, encoded with H.264 and AC3. Japanese and English audio, Japanese by default. The subtitles are in English, on by default, but can be disabled. I recommend using VLC media player, unless you have a better one for playing MKV with AC3 audio. Yes, it is a big upload, because breaking them up into multiple torrents ensures that some of them will die due to not enough seeders. This is my first torrent, so let me know if something goes wrong. As always, please seed after you download, I really want this to keep going, but don't have the bandwidth to seed 24/7. With that said, enjoy!

I don't mean to put you down or anything by saying this, but I believe the following torrent has been well seeded since 2007.

I haven't downloaded yours, but I'm guessing the quality is about the same? If yours is better I'd gladly download it however.

Thank you so much for this torrent, I watched Lain like 7 years ago with a spanish dub audio, could understand a little since im from brazil and spanish and portuguese are somewhat similar, but animes are always so much better to watch with original japanese audio, again, thank you!

Thanks for this, great anime series! That other torrent Qvazzler talked about is just hard subbed Eng. with just Japanese audio and they are WMV mislabeled as AVI. This one has it all with Eng/Jap audio and softsubs, just like Abrucard said. The latest version of KMPlayer plays these. TIP: You can quickly change the order of the audio/subs with mkvmerge GUI.

awesome rips! seeding here

Jagoob (2011-07-14)

Why on earth did you take out the openings / endings?????? I mean everything else you did with it was fine and good quality but this series probably has my favorite opening song of all time and now I'm going to have to download a whole new torrent just so I can have one with the opening song is really lame. So anyway if you liked the opening song on this show don't waste your time on this torrent.

Thank you for the high quality sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to do it right.
This will be the first time I have watched this properly. The last time I attempted, it was an unfriendly experience.
Will seed for a while. Thanks again.

can anyone tell me why this does not work on mpc home cinema i get like green shit all over the place and just a blurry mess

xtokumeix (2012-07-20)

True, no opening, but whatever. I'm more a quality whore and when I read "re-encode" I was skeptical. Re-encode means quality loss. But it is nonetheless better than the other torrent seeded here on TPB:

notice the compression artifacts on the other torrent, particularly in the circled area.

Disenndium (2012-08-10)

Your effort is greatly appreciated, but the video quality is really poor. There's a bluray rip "available", and in comparison this looks like a bad cellphone recording :(

Axmann8 (2012-08-23)

Why would you remove the opening? Just no.

gethigher (2012-09-27)

i find it easier to watch through without the intro every time, thanx !

sakoto (2012-10-20)

I think I know which torrent you're referring to, Abrucard. I believe I downloaded it only the other day! Took 4 hrs! But I've wanted to see Lain for over a decade and it sounded alright. The english audio sub was so out of synch with the video there was no way to watch it comfortably! I spent almost an hour (!!) on VLC trying to synchronize it, then I finally just decided to look for a different one.
I was a bit skeptical about this one after reading a few of the comments and although I do enjoy the opener its not like I can't download the song! (lol) You're upload is also a MUCH higher quality than the one I downloaded. ^_^ Thanks so much, Abrucard! Cheers!

Archivo (2013-04-26)

You're totally a son (or daughter) of the Wired. I really appreciate this torrent :)

Lyca77 (2013-05-11)

I can't stand rips like this. The opening and ending theme songs are CUT out. Whoever ripped this is a stupid mother fucker. please let this torrent die from the internet forever.

PouKii (2013-07-05)

I really don't care about the ending and intro are cut off. This is not an anime to sing funny intro songs and shit, this is a surrealistic mudafuka. Quality in sound and audio is everything and this torrent has it. It's almost flawless, almost perfect.

tmf1949 (2013-12-31)

Thank you (:

Insanelycool (2014-10-12)

Cutting the intro song out credits shows that you have no respect for this great anime. The opening song sets the mood along with the end credits as well for the next episode. The quality doesn't mean a thing if its been butchered. Thanks for ruining a wet dream.

Mind, blown - Also, resolution is 704x464
