The budget in Lain was low, so usually the animation is quite still and you're meant to focus on the dialogue and themes, HOWEVER when there is the budget, we get some glorious scenes. The ending of "landscape" is the best example, some of the best animation I have ever seen in anime.
This episode is a weary and tragic moment of friendship - the themes that have been building throughout the show blossom in the dialogue here, and the mystery of the "god" man is more intense than ever.
