Whos to say that she could have survived and that it was Nyuu that got killed off or both personalities were put back together and she just wanted to get back at those scientists?

You're right. I almost forgot how ridiculous and stupid Elfen Lied is. If she can survive an anti tank rifle on her head, she can surely somehow survive thousands of bullets that may or may not be going through her. I mean, she can just lie there stationary all day, and a group of gunners rattling away right in front of her, and still fail to kill her. I could almost forgive the climax of the anime, but now you mention it, this anime reaches a new level of low. I mean, there is no way to really tell who is dead and who is not until we're spoonfed with a clear screenshot of a corpse m i rite.
Sometimes I wonder why I even try. |

Now why would you be in despair if Lucy did die? Because the girl you loved so much for 13 episodes is dead? Is that why shows need to come up with deus ex machina to satisfy their fans? I agree that there is nothing wrong with the ending, since I think both the touching climax and the reflective scene somewhat redeems the mediocrity of the show. As long as Lucy is dead. Her coming alive is to me ludicrous and hilarious at best.

I suggest that we drop this since, in the absence of hard evidence, no one is going to change anyone else's opinion. And, unless there is a continuation or sequel, there will never be any proof one way or the other. It ranks about the same as arguing about the gender of the twins in Utawarerumono.

No, it ranks on even more amusing level than arguing if a guy in a plane crash is really dead or not, since no one can find his body. Possible scenarios of him jumping off the plane and miraculously landing safe on a truck loaded of cushion conviniently driving by, and being magically adopted by an invisible flying source before the crash all sounds mighty convincing. I agree that we drop this because it's so retarded.

Oh come on! Think of the series and what she'd been through. Ok it did take months to get over, but I just found it so hard to accept. Course I was in despair. I mean.... dang how can you say that? |

Yep. The reason why bullets are so lethal otherwise is because they're shaped specifically for armor penetration. Also, many armor plated things are shaped so that there are points along some of the edges of which most kinds of ammunition would simply bounce off. It's highly plausible that the armor piercing round just had an unlucky trajectory and grazed her at some point of the helmet that would cause minimal damage. Although you see, "minimal damage" was still something, since it seems to be the cause of the Nyuu character in Lucy.

After reviewing the beginning of first episode, I'll concede on that point SC.

What's stupid is not the plane comparison but your stubborness and pride. Animes, movies, novels tells shit that doesn't make sense all the time, there's nothing wrong with Lucy somehow miraculously coming back alive by the animtors' hands ;D |

1 - Tell us how many fully automatic selectable weapons you have fired in the fully automatic mode. and 2 - Tell us why the US military changed the M-16 so now it has a three shot burst mode instead of a fully automatic mode. |

Let's.... not start mocking and cussing at each other. gaguri... you cant face the ending with utter despair. The ending of the person behind the door was to give us hope even though i believe Lucy died.

My friend, my problem really isn't with people thinking that Lucy isn't dead.
I think it's fine for people to come up with that interpretation. I just don't see why people have to make themselves and others believe in such a load of crap (as in, my drawing above). You think Lucy is alive because it fits better with your ideal character of Lucy and gives you hope, even though it doesn't make much sense. I think Lucy is alive because it doesn't make sense and fits better with the idea of redemption. Isn't that a nice discussion of people giving different interpretations on the same ending ^_^. But now I have someone who wants me to explain some crap about M-16 so I can prove that it's just that easy to kill a standing girl with a group of people aiming rifles right in front of her (although I could google and come up with something to pretend I'm a 'military expert', I wonder where this dude is going with retarded questions like these). I guess my pictorial explanation was way too abstract. |
