Elfen Lied
I must say this is the best so far most violent first ep i've seen of any anime i've watched so for man the first ep of this just got me hooked on since all that mostly contained in the first ep was killing ppl, taking them apart, exploding them, and alsmot like dissecting in one scene
|
The anime is called "Elfen Lied", not Elfin Lied....
CU, lamer_de |
I'm really surprised by the first episode. It's completely different from what one may think from the art used in the official website... extremely gory and extremely violent, really kickass stuff! :cool:

Episode 1.

It goes along the line of Tsukihime, mysterious and dark. The bloody scene was quite brutal. ^^;; |
This is the most violent anime I've watched since Berserk and loved every minute of it.
|
Yup... Definitely an excellent first episode. The potential for the characters are there too. And of course... All the violence and nudity are there.

Since Secca posted some of the "nicer" screenshots of Elfen Lied, I guess I'll post some... ummm... "not-so-nice" screenshots :p Spoiler for don't look if you are not comfortable with LOTS of blood and gore:
Just to be safe, as I'm not sure how gross is "extreme gross", so if any mod find the pictures against the forum rules, PM me and I'll take them down in no time, or feel free to edit anything you feel inappropriate... :p |
Wow the visuals look excellent. Too bad its licensed. It's dark, bloody and has simply stunning animation and graphics. Can't wait for the ADV dvds to come out.

Anyway, even the TV episode is censored (there are fog aka "steam" in some of the decapitation scenes that clouds up the action), but its nowhere near the levels of say, GANTZ and Girls Bravo. But hopefully the ADV version won't be the same. I just can't stand any form of censorship. |

Like Dreamless said, it does seem like a darker more challenging version of Konomini, but pretty familiar all the same. Not sure about this one really, I get the impression it'll just descend into a bloodbath... |

Spoiler for manga:
It's less bloody, but I don't know if that fits your definition of "handling [it] differently" though. |

BTW, anyone understands the english letters appearing behind the kanji titles? For the first episode the kanji title which means something like "meeting" but with english letters "BEGEGNUNG" behind... the second episode with a kanji title "hunting" and english letters "VERNICHTUNG"... what does that mean? |
Quote:
"begegnung" = "meeting" "vernichtung" = "destruction" |

I did think the animation, character designs and the music were excellent though... |
Quote:
now that it's clear, yup indeed the second kanji title could be better translated into something like "search & destroy" :p |

Oh, so it's german... yup, online look up returns Elves Song... So Nyuu is an elf? I guess those japanese just love small cat ears instead of long pointy ears... :p
If later episodes can match up ep1's quality, this series is definitely a must-get for me ;) |
