ブギーポップは笑わない Boogiepop Phantom
2000 · TV series · 24 min episodes · 1 season
Five years ago, a string of grisly murders shook the city to its core and now the rumors have begun once more. Boogiepop... Everyone knows about Boogiepop: meet her one dark night and you are taken. People tell each other the stories and laugh: no one believes that she can possibly exist in this day and age. Still, strange things appear to be going on and the darkness is taking on many forms. Something is out there.

Aside Chiaki Konaka from Lain, I would recommend some of the works of Sadayuki Murai (who, coincidentally, co-worked with Konaka in Bubblegum Crisis 2040):
- Moryo no Hako (not sure what's the English name, but it's a nice horror/detective story from a novel)
- Millennium Actress (an IMO nice way to show the evolution of the Japanese cinema)
- Perfect Blue (mostly Satoshi Kon's work, but Murai worked in the screenplay)
There's also Boogiepop Phantom, but you lose a bit of the plot if you haven't read the original novels.
