dreamless: Naruto... has realistic characters? You must be taking some extremely heavy drugs to come to that conclusion. Naruto probably has the worst, most stereotypical characters ever created in an anime.
While Elfen Lied is also unrealistic, it's something new, or at least applies old clichès in a new way. As for the experiments done on the mutants, take a look at our last world war. It wasn't exactly uncommon that prisoners in german concentration camps were experimented on, testing new drugs, weapons and equipment, cutting them up, as well as more general research related to health, strength and stamina which today is being done on animals. So, cruelty in certain circles is absolutely being reflected realistically. What is not realistic, though, is the way the average citizens are treating the young girls in the show. Most young girls who are seen hurt will immediately be helped by people passing by... and while kids can be incredibly cruel, I doubt they'd bash a dog to death in a classroom at school. Anyway, I think it's amazing that a series can make me feel sympathetic to a girl who's slaughtered hundreds of innocents and even killed the main guy's parents. |

A LOT of people get Narutaru and Naruto mixed up
because there are supprisingly a lot of dyslexic people out there. i've seen narutaru but i lost interest. i've seen saikano and i loved it,,, it didnt make me cry though... the ONLY movie to every make me cry was grave of the firefiles because when the girl died, you immediately knew that the boy was going to die too.. and thats what made me cry i've never been moved to tears by ANY thing before. im going to buy this anime if it ends the way i think it will. ( actually i have no idea how its going to end.) Goodly i suppose |

Elfen Lied beaten some of the animes in my top A list? For me, no. Even the manga version doesn't do that. It's tragic, but more or less it's tragic for the sake of tragedy itself IMO. I think when compared to other tragic series like, say, Key the Metal Idol, Lain, Now and Then Here and There, Saikano, Narutaru, TEXHNOLYZE, etc. etc. it lacks depths, the theme of Elfen Lied seems to be just tragedy itself, with not much else.

.................... i just finish the series.
.................................. oh my god......... ..................................oh my god......... ..................................oh my god......... there's no way i can honestly say that this anime is not the best anime ever created. this anime has blown evangelion out of the water. this anime.... will never be surpassed. this anime.... shows the true capabilities of how a human expresses one emotion to another. i am sooo buying this anime when it comes out on dvd. |

Yikes very long, highly hypothetical post... Fell free to comment or undermine my little theory, keep in mind that I haven't read much of the manga yet (this theory is based completely on the anime) so I might be seriously off |
