Elfen Lied was not intended to be happy, it is not a happy story, so having a happy ending almost seems to undermine the intent of the entire show. It seems silly to have Lucy go on a murderous rampage, kill dozens of people, and then live happily ever after. Where is the morality in that!? I know a number of people believe that Nyuu and Kouta should be together at the end, but realistically that is not a ending worthy of Elfen Lied. If you want a happy ending, then there are plenty of other anime's out there catering for that need.

I went off on a little rant there, my point being that Elfen Lied should have a clear cut sad ending, and that even that glimmer of hope should never have been put into the series, since it does tend to diminish the point of the story. Lucy should have been confirmed dead rather than having a shadowy figure appear at the door. I really didn't like that ending.

I see..
They really should just kill her off if it's meant to be sad.. Yet,there's a shadow that doesn't utter a sound , a weird grandfather's clock re-working, and the music box.. Slowly, I begin to understand why some people dislike the ending. Good point, Raptor73. |

Nope
It is not dislike but rather not satisfied with the ending(To put it in a proper manner). It is never bad for anyone to turn over a new leaf. The only reason Lucy went on a killing rampage because of the mistreating she have undergone in her past and kouta is the only one who acknowledge her. She never wanted to kill from the start but the surrounding and her vectors forced her to become a monster. Lucy/Nyuu is quite a good-natured person. So, it is not a phenomenal if the ending turns out to be happy By the way, there will most probably be a season 2 and rumor says it is now being made in Japan.(hope it is true though)

And, while she shares the blame for what she did, she was really a pawn in someone else's plan. If a Pit Bull that was raised to kill kills someone who is ultimately to blame, the Pit bull or the person who raised it to kill. |

Wow
I see, so Anna actually despise her father and wanted to save Lucy, is it? Really? I thought diclonius undergoes mutation to get those horns and powers.....Did Lucy mother inherited the vector virus too? Kakuzawa was killed by Lucy? How about the female scientist who help Kakuzawa and what happen to that ponytail guy who loves candy and his three Mariko's?

elfen lied really expresses the feeling of people who are different in the eyes of others and oppressed by them i a 18 year old in a wheelchair understand lucy perfectley as i am seen as a freak by everyone just because of my wheelchair ,lucy had the right to use her powers against people who thought of her as a demon a bad sign or different the truth is were all humans and we all have feelings yet people do not accept what is different from them lucy is lucky in my oppinion to have her powers cause in real life people who are different are defensless against those who opress them

Elfen Lied is truly a terrific tragedy done right. It's what boosted my interest in anime again, as well as friends of mine. Everything about it appealed to me: the story, visuals, music, etc. At first, I didn't really like the idea of a second series, but as I think about it, it actually wouldn't be that bad. Time can only tell!

There is not one anime that is similar to one another. That what makes anime so interesting and original.

Yes...indeed Elfen Lied is a very outstanding anime as it can somehow show me the evil site of human and express it in a way so unique until it is unheard of before. Humans often take themselves to be the best creation of God thus that's why they despise all beings which are different or have a different attitude compared to them. Elfen Lied truly show me the dark site of human beings and it is perfectly logical to think why Lucy hated humans so much.
If I were to rate this anime, I would give it a 5 out of 5 as of all the anime which I have seen, Elfen Lied without a doubt is the best anime I have ever seen. |
