It was praised by the Jepan Media Arts Festival, in 1998, for 'its willingness to question the meaning of contemporary life' and the 'extraordinarily philosophical and deep questions'. Despite the show judged atypical, the critics responded positively to the thematic and stylistic characteristics.

In 2009, Yoshitoshi ABe announced a spiritual sequel to Serial Experiments Lain called Despera who will reunited many of the staff who worked on Serial Experiments Lain, including Chiaki J Konaka and Ryūtarō Nakamura. Ueda and Konaka declared in an interview that the idea of a multimedia project was not unusual in Japan, as opposed to the contents of Lain, and the way they are exposed. A dōjinshi titled 'The Nightmare of Fabrication' was produced by Yoshitoshi ABe and released in Japanese in the artbook Omnipresence in the Wired. The scenario for the video game was written first, and the video game was produced at the same time as the anime series, though the series was released first.

This would lead to a 'war of ideas' over the meaning of the anime, hopefully culminating in new communication between the two cultures. He explained he created Lain with a set of values he took as distinctly Japanese he hoped Americans would not understand the series as the Japanese would. Alone in this strange new land, these ordinary students must learn to fend for themselves or die.Serial Experiments Lain was conceived, as a series, to be original to the point of it being considered 'an enormous risk' by its producer Yasuyuki Ueda.
