Lain has absolutely nothing to do with DBZ (which is a truly horrible show)... why do you think there are any grounds for comparison?
Lain isn't focused on flashbacks... Milennium Actress is, but as GR said they're the vast majority of the story in that case.
Freud is one of the major pillars in psychotherapy history, but his theories have very little application today... he was guessing, and now we know he was wrong about a lot of things.
Quote:About flashbacks, they're a crutch used for weak story telling. Unless of course the story uses them as part of the through line and spends very little time on the character in the current situation until the resolve of the story. Ie: Forest Gump

Quote:About the ID and ego discussion, I know what i'm talking about and I know what i've learned. Freud is one of the major pillars to how we understand the human brain today and it's thanks to him that therapists can actually help people. you can question the idea of the subconscious all you want but it's a WORKING theory that we can actually see and measure, we cause the same effects to happen over and over and it is a thing itself which can be studied. and for those reasons it is considered a combination of sciences and logic. That's what the brain is.
