I'm probably ignorant of Japanese culture, but why does Lain go to bed in a bear costume?
shareBecause she's a kid. Like some kids still sleep in those race-car beds. It's to show that she's still a kid in her mind (in comparision to others of her age that act more grown-up already)
Then don't do anything. Don't come near me. All you ever do is hurt me.
At age 13, she still wears the pajamas of a 7 or 8 year old. Possibly a bit of a comment on her character...
shareit is. the fact that it is a bear has some meaning as well. something to do with avoiding confrontation and things of the like. thats also why she wore the bear hat in the dance club.
shareStill, Japanese do have some extreme fashions.
sharewats wrong with bears!?

My friend still wears PJ's to bed and he's 19. Weird?
Do not question Uncle!
I heard that the reason for the frequent occurence as bears as props was a symbol used by the director of Lain. apparently he uses bears in all his anime.
But on another level, I think it just shows us her innocence at the beginning of the anime
The use of bears was because of the director. Apparently he uses bears in all of his anime's, it's like his 'tag'... or so I heard.
But on another level I think it just represents Lain's innocence
cool
and btw wasspam .... yes that is weird .... are they footies?

Yes that is disturbing. You should tell your friend to grow up and stop acting like an 8 year old.
shareThe whole bear theme isn't just symbolic, the style of pj's are called kigurumi. Look it up.
