(L) Elfen Lied

[Reno]

Yeah... but, remmeber, they left it like that so we can interperate it how we want. If you want that person to be Lucy, then it's Lucy. However, I, however mind-shattering it is, don't see how that's possible, since that will the last scene on the bridge utterly pointless.

Spoiler:

Does anyone know where to watch the continuation of the manga? Thanks

I happen to think your avatar is very cute. xD

I don't plan on dating for a while. I don't like dating over the internet, and all the people around my age here are a bunch of idiots. Nor does anybody I know share any minuscule amount of a similar interest either, which really sucks. D:

I feel as if the ending of Elfen Lied left a finished feeling, as if saying this is the end. Sure, I'd like to see more, but it may ruin the series for most, but stuff like that doesn't really bother me. Nor do fillers or anything else. If I'm really bored, I'll even watch something I don't even like.

I agree with you there.

Yeah, a second series could answer many more questions/predictions, like:

Spoiler for Elfen Lied:

-Kohta's relationship w/ Nyu/Lucy

-Kohta's relationship w/ Yuka

Nana's relationship w/ Mayu (that was the previously homeless girl, right?)

-The director being a make diclonius (and the beginning of his "plan")

-Nyu/Lucy being pregnant or not

-The 2 police investigators ( Last I remembered, they weren't dead)

-They could also expand some more on the character's pasts, which include:
- Nyu/Lucy's feelings toward the girl that died (shown in episode 14)
- Nana's feelings toward "Papa"

But even so, watching a second season can instantly reveal a lot of mysteries. Besides, we can see the continuation of Lucy and the story.

I fully concur with you there. But I think the 2 police investigators are not so important since they only appeared for a few seconds in the anime. I think the director general intentions and the female scientist are a better topic.

[bongky]

Indeed I fully concur with a second season being published. There is still a lot of uncertainties in Elfen Lied. No doubt that the second season might bring some side effect to the anime but if we look at it from an overall point of view, a second season could actually be much more better as we can get to understand the anime more throughly and besides, maybe the second season might be better than the first season.

Of course the 2nd season will be better than the 1st season. This is because the 1st season is only up to manga chapter 50 something. It will not bring much side effect even if it is published, so just relax and wait.

Haha, yeah...I tend to read manga like a nut. It takes me exactly 30 minutes to finish the average volume of anything, a bit longer for certian series. I can read as many as i like as long as I'm interested (I read all 8 volumes of chobits in one sitting for instance)
I'm the same way about anime. I watched Elfen Lied in one sitting.

I don't really want a second series really. It would be nice, But i like just reading the manga haha.

the 2 police investigators really serve no purpose. if you remember, the organization was making use of both SAT and the local authorities to try and find lucy in the begining.

Yes but in the manga, a close friend of one of the police investigator was killed by Lucy. To my guessing, I think the local authorities only want to help capture Lucy is because they want revenge more than safety.

By the way, how many diclonius are they? Mariko was number 35 right? Why weren't we introduced to the rest of the diclonius family?

[Reno]

That would... be a bit pointless wouldn't it? And we did some of them in episode 10 in Kurama's past.

Depends on your outlook. D: I for one would like to see more diclonius.

I've recently realized, that they haven't really shown any male diclonius that were locked up. So far we've only seen females.

I fully agree with you. Until now, we have seen too much of a girl diclonius which I think is very..umm...unbalance. There is no way a X chromosome ovum will always fertilized with a X chromosome sperm, right? There must be some Y.

I think Kakuzawa was a male diclonius...

[Malzar]

a second season :O awesome never thought there would come a new season ^^ although the anime pwnd

ALL OF THE VECTOR VIRUS DICLONIUS ARE FEMALE. There are no males locked up.

Spoiler for manga:

Kakuzawa and his older son have horns because they are decendants of the ancient diclonius race. The ancient race lost it's powers from intermixing with normal humans and their decendants who had horns had been hunted and killed as demons. The only male diclonius shown is Lucy's younger half brother, who Kakuzawa forced Lucy's mother to have (as in raped and imprisoned). She killed herself because she knew that she would never be able to escape from him. If there are any others then they would probably be Lucy's older brothers. Something that was never brought up in the manga, but is possible since all of Lucy's mother's children would be true diclonius. And it would explain why one of the twins at the end was named after Lucy's real name.

[Nenkitsune]

basically the female diclonius that are born through the vector virus are worker bees, with lucy the queen bee. just as with bees, all the workers are female, none are male. It was explained in the manga well, and i think they did in the anime as well.

I don't think we really know what the numbers truly corespond to though. It could be what number they are, but at the same time, it could just be what number they are in terms of either being captured, or the number by discovery (remember, they killed all the diclonius born after a certian point)

[bongky]

By the way, does the boy diclonius given birthed by Lucy's mother have vectors like Lucys'? Although I am not quite sure it's true or false, I've heard rumors that the second season will be released by late October. But this is still not confirmed so I best advice we don't put our hopes high

[Fate lover]

Ya, although I surely do hope for one.><

[bongky]

I also hope for one too but all I've heard are just rumors. All we can do now is to keep our finger cross and hope that there really is a second season where we can see the continuation of the series. By the way, where do you stay? I believe I live in the same country as you. Oh, one more thing, where do you get to read the continuation of the manga?

[Reno]

AHH I've just watched the end of Elfen Lied again... probably a mistake. I WANT to cry but I can't!! When Lucy and Kouta kiss... it's just so beautiful!!

Ehe sorry...

Geez, get a grip!
I too never get tired of watching EL, but I've never been upset because I CAN'T cry.
More like the opposite. But you're right though, it's damn beautiful when they kiss.

Actually I watched the whole series again and I have a question - do diclonius have a titanium - hard skull or something?
Because

Spoiler for Series:

no shabby helm (the purpose of which is a mystery to me as well) can slow down a (it sure looked like) Barrett .50 cal enough so that you don't get your head smashed like a watermelon. Those things pierce steel armor platings with ease (what is more, the guard said it's an AP round). Also she fell off a cliff and swam all the way to the shore with a head injury.
Same goes for Mariko on the beach, when she got knocked down from the punch of Bondo's shot. Her head was bleeding and yet she seemed perfectly fine in the next episode, which supposedly is the same evening.

[Isaak]

Even seeing it for a third time the anime still touches me, even though no tears come out it does give me the basic feeling of crying.

Sodagod,

Spoiler for First episode:

she probably reduced the impact of the bullet with her vectors before she got hit, and there was also the metal helmet that took most of the damage. Even though the bullet should have splashed her head like a watermelon as you said but the real damage it has done was much less, probably because they couldn't kill the main character in the first episode :P.
