− | '''''serial experiments lain BOOTLEG''''' is the third and final soundtrack for the ''[[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|Serial Experiments Lain]]'' anime. It features the ambient score for the series, composed and performed by Akira Takemoto. A CD-ROM included with the soundtrack features a dress-up game, a shooting gallery game, wallpapers and screensavers.
| + | This would have been the second time the three main creators of psychological thriller anime [[Serial Experiments Lain]] would have worked together on the same project, and it would have been Nakamura and Konaka's third collaboration after their work on Ghost Hound. The title Despera is taken from a poem of the same title by Japanese Dadaist poet Jun Tsuji. Though the title of Tsuji's poem comes from the word "despair" or "desperation", the official blog for the anime stated that it can also imply the Spanish word desperado. A graphic novel serialization related to the anime was published in the Japanese magazine Animage from July 2009 to July 2010. |
| | | |
− | ''BOOTLEG'' is notable for featuring two versions of the score: one in standard CD audio quality on the first disc; and a dramatically extended version, featuring 27 compositions in their full lengths and 12 additional songs, included on the CD-ROM in 128 kbps MP3 format. The CD-ROM also features sound effects from the series in AIF format, including the reading of each episode's title.
| + | On June 29, 2013, director Ryūtarō Nakamura died due to pancreatic cancer. At Overload 2014, Yoshitoshi ABe announced that a new director had been found to continue working on Despera. In 2018, Yoshitoshi ABe and Chiaki J. Konaka said the reason Despera is in development hell is not primarily due to a lack of funds, but because of the current state of the anime industry. On March 23, 2021, Chiaki J. Konaka said that the anime was 80% funded and that the core staff had done a considerable amount of work done on it already. |

He also announced that he will be working with many of the staff who worked on Serial Experiments Lain. Details on the storyline were scarce as ABe stated that the anime had not been officially unveiled in Japan yet, but he revealed that it will be set during Japan's Taishō era. On his personal blog the next day, ABe clarified that the title of the anime is Despera and that he mispronounced it during the announcement at Sakura-Con. On his website, Chiaki J. Konaka announced a graphic novel serialization in the Japanese magazine Animage which lasted for a year, with the story penned by him and artwork provided by ABe. |
