After watching the first 4 episodes, it's a bit unfair to call it a series without a plot. You need to watch it 'til the end to understand it, or even watch them again, to get the full picture. It depends on how much attention you pay to the details.
It's a series, where you need to think after watching it, and you don't get everything handed to you in terms of story in the first episodes.
As for the animation - it's minimalistic, but I wouldn't call it horrible. I for example, like it. It fits with the mood of the whole series.
Lain is strange and isn't your usual anime, but that's why I like it.

I know series is the correct word, but really series sounds stupid. Serie makes a lot more sense to me. Like you say a group of episodes, not a groups of episodes.
And yeah, it is short, but long enough to confuse the shit out of me, with quite a few protagonists having multiple alter-egos
EDIT:
Spike: It's not for everyone. Especially not for adrenaline junkies. Just because you don't like this kind of stuff, doesn't mean, that it's shit.
and the animation is horrible
You can't call me an adrenaline junkie, I like calm series, I hate Naruto and all this kind of common shit, but this serie is just bad.
