I just watched this series, Elfen Lied..
It..Its undescribable to me. So many thousands of emotions, So many billions of synapses did it send firing in my brain, I just...All I can say it is one of the most wonderfully done animes to date. I can not describe my emotions for this because they are so multilayered and complex that even I can not understand them, All I can say is..This anime...This great anime.. Its something for the ages. Spoiler for Ending:
This anime has definately changed me, I don't know how or why, but I can definately feel a difference. Not on the surface, its like something was changed down in the very core of my being, in the very centure that all that I am eminates from.. Last edited by Komataguri; 2004-10-28 at 15:35. |

Sounds like you had the same experience as me. So many contradicting emotions. I didn't know who to love, who to hate. It was just a big mash of feelings that I didn't know how to place. I feel different too, but it's indescribable. Spoiler:

Haha......
I wouldn't call EL "life changing" despite being a fan. I'm just in for the Jekyell-And-Hyde theme with a good blend of both cuteness and gore. You don't see too many anime like this so it's worth collecting on DVD. You guys need to check out more anime. Only a classic such as Grave Of The Fireflies can be call "life changing" |

well, Elfen Lied is quite explicitly bloody and violent, but I don't find it to be really that cruel. I'd say shows like Gunslinger Girl, Infinite Ryvius, Narutaru, Now and Then Here and There, etc. are much crueller, much more psychologically disturbing than Elfen Lied. I'd say this show is not really that cruel deep down, especially as it has modified/left out lots of the really cruel plot development in the manga.

I felt this series was great and ended on a high note. A high note meaning - you will now want to read the manga!
I don't find it disturbing at all, but rather as an imitation of the darker side of life. If you find it disturbing you are probably still sheltered. Go out and learn and you will realize you will just take it on face value. |

Err... I don't think Elfen Lied resembles reality much, and IMO that's exactly why it isn't really that disturbing. It's kinda hard to relate to the thought process of some superhuman mutants, actually I can't really relate to any character in EL, those kind of characters just feels so... out of reality... That's why I think series like Infinite Ryvius, Narutaru, MONSTER, Now and Then Here and There, etc. are much more disturbing, the characters in those series are much more... "normal-human-like" I guess, which are much easier to relate to. The EL characters are more or less going extremes...

1) Bosses are cruel and dumb to their employees. 2) Some fathers do rape their children 3) Lots of children do develop complexes during their younger years, especially orphans. 4) There are people with guns who just smack other people around just because. 5) Denial is a common side effect of trauma. 6) Some really stupid people graduate out of the best universities. 7) The government is involved in a ton of covert things that you don't know about. 8) A melody heard many years ago sometimes just brings back some buried memories. and the list goes on. Very Real Life. I probably wouldn't have watched this except for the fact that it has hot psychic girls cutting peoples limbs off |

Speaking of hot vector-wielding girls, has anyone wondered why Nana's body is in as good a shape as it is (before the whole 'losing her arms of legs' thing)?
After all those experiments and those metal balls being shot at her, why isn't her body covered in bruises, cuts, stitches, etc? I've always wondered about that... ... : / Last edited by Elbowlick; 2004-10-29 at 12:59. |
