'''Weather Break''' (ウェザーブレイク) is a series of illustrations by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]] that were used in the end cards for the [[anime]]. They have been printed in the [[Omnipresence_in_Wired|Omnipresence]] and [[Visual Experiments Lain]] books as well as the booklet of the ''serial experiments lain|RESTORE'' box set (Japan only). They appeared after the first 12 episodes for a short moment and were preceded by the phrase 「次回お楽しみに。」(''jikai otanoshimi ni,'' "look forward to next time").  The images were purposely weather-themed to lead in to the 15-second TV Tokyo weather report segment, which immediately followed SEL's time slot.
