Elfen Lied.
This is basically a troll post. So instead I'll stick it in a single layer spoiler tag. If you like Nyuu/Lucy - don't open. For those ready for a heavily opinionated post, feel free to open.

Basically. A girl is alone due to mistreatment, goes on a killing spree and doesn't expect people to act angry. What. The Fuck?
She killed the protagonists' family, and even after he knows it was her - he dotes on her and forgives her. Being AWARE she is a mass murderer.
Okay. I AGREE, Nyuu/Lucy have had a hard life - you are beyond callous if you don't understand this. But what condones murder of those that want to help you? What condones murder REGARDLESS?
"Yeah. I am totally neglected and expect people to hurt and betray me. So I'll just going on a killing spree and see who pity loves me next, it ain't no thing." Is basically the message I got out of it. I can't quite understand why Nyuu/Lucy mass murders people.
I was 'Meh' at first. But fans shoving the awesome Nyuu/Lucy down my throat basically causes me to lash out. A lot of people like Elfen Lied - if it weren't for the heroine being pitied and wuffed on for KILLING. (Yes. Killing. Are you aware of the concept?) Living. People.
She can kill her enemies.
She can kill those that harmed her.
But she doesn't need to kill everyone that is on the street or is on her way.
Basically. She is spiteful and wants get back at humans the best way she knows how to: Mindlessly slaughtering them whenever the chance arises.
The music is great. I love some of the cast, but Nyuu/Lucy ruins it for me. I can understand the symbolic and biblical meaning of it. I can understand what it implies. But not everything can be forgiven.
