Just finished watching Elfen Lied. Automatically now one of my favourites. The dub is pretty good in most cases and I rather like the dialogue. The story and characters were pretty well-done too, Bando was hardcore and I rather liked Lucy and especially Nana. The ultra-violence was handled alright I think, helps add to the underlying themes the anime attempts to push. That and it's entertaining having someone be decapitated mid-speech.

I think the first 10 minutes of the first episode are definitely the most shocking. Lucy manages to kill 23 people in various bloody and gory ways in about 5 minutes and the rest is taken up with complete nudity. One scene in particular with Lucy and Nana particularly shocked me to say the least. I don't think I was as shocked as that until the three-part episodes surrounding the pasts of Lucy, Khota and Kurama. Those were by far my favourites, and carried quite a fair amount of tragedy in them.

I'm aware of how the manga is very different from the anime's last two episodes, but I quite liked how they handled it (the manga was still going on by episode 13) and the ending was pretty nice. But damn do I hate cliffhangers. The manga ended on one too I believe.

I remember watching so many cliched-crapped up anime before watching Ellfen Lied. The first episode left my mouth agape. Sure, I didn't expect the nudity. Or the sudden kills. Or the REALLY sudden kill of a cliched cute-huge-eyed-chick-who-could-might-as-well-be-the-protagonist's-girlfriend type of character.

WIN. It was just so different than the manga, though. But, both conclusions were amazing.




Anyone ever heard of Junjou Romantica?

I'm hearing good things so far about Elfen Lied.

Is it really worth checking out?

Yup. Very much. But, it is very violent (especially the first few minutes of the first episode), has a whole lot of nudity (especially the first few minutes of the first episode), and people Spoiler:

show spoiler

unexpectedly and abruptly die

(especially the first few minutes of the first episode).

Watch it. NAO.

haha that is so true lol lots of people get put off by the first episode because they think its just going to feature heavy amounts of violence and needless nudity (well the nudity is a bit pointless) but really its got a very dark and deep story. Also theres some of the funniest scenes ive seen in an anime in this show which is really strange considering the nature of the show

Black Lagoon is my second fave sohw also they are meant to be making more episodes, although i cant remember if it was just some OVA episodes or an actual third season, personally im hoping for a whole season but if not then ive still got the manga to finish

Nah, I wish I were, but I am taking it one book at a time. I just wish they would pop out the new ones more often than one every three months.
