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

Since Secca posted some of the "nicer" screenshots of Elfen Lied, I guess I'll post some... ummm... "not-so-nice" screenshots 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... Last edited by dreamless; 2004-07-26 at 14:57. |

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.

such a cute klutz Quote:
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? |

I did think the animation, character designs and the music were excellent though... |

now that it's clear, yup indeed the second kanji title could be better translated into something like "search & destroy" |

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...
If later episodes can match up ep1's quality, this series is definitely a must-get for me |
