    not all nudity is sexual in nature. haven’t seen lain yet, however iirc it has some themes of loosing ones sense of self which could justify having a pure (lacking in accessories/clothes) body.

      From what I can tell from the context that is the intention in the Lain closing. Americans are such prudes they see nudity and assume sex. In the credits she’s curled into a fetal position so it’s not like it’s even provocative.

        yea, she’s in a fetal position and surrounded by machinery all around her. it probably symbolises her being pure and natural juxtaposed to the computers around her, or (spoilers)

        reveal

        her being born from the Wired, as an extension of the computers surrounding her.

        or something else, idk, the outro probably has multiple interpretations because it’s lain, so of course it would have.

        but like yea, nudity != sexualization.
