Elfen Lied By Guest. 18/06/08, 06:44 am |
| I suppose its an odd series...But the anime opening is truly magical!
To start with, I'll sum it up in bullet points:
* Its easy to get offended/turn white/bring up your dinner within the first five minutes. * Contains cuteness beyond measure. * A love story. * Cruel in a clubbing-baby-seals-to-death kinda way. * So violent you get completely accustomed to seeing peoples insides flying in all directions.
SO.
What do you guys think? Personally I think it's the type of series that everyone will take something different from. To me, it's about humanity and its value. Most people I've talked to however, thought it was weird/gross/stupid. I still love it though. It'll always one of my favourite series.
BTW~ My favourite character is Lucy. (When not in "Nyu" mode).
<3 Give me your thoughs! =D |

| actually when I first watched it I was immediately captured by the nice OST and the cool-looking Lucy at the start ^^ Lucy is so cool when she's in her 'mean' side but i didn't like Nyu... she reminded me a bit too much of Chii and i dislike Chii too =[
lol otherwise I thought that anime was quite nice. Eventhough it was a bit echi, the ending definitely put me into a O.O, T.T state....which was awesome XD |

| Yes, exactly!! She's like, a Chii-clone. >.< I kinda like Chii though. But Nyu is like...Heh. Lucy > Nyu (x1000) (What's echi? XD) I just love the opening song 'Lilium.' I often listen to it just before I go to sleep at night. ^^; |

| OHH~ OH Yeah. There are some moments like that. It seems kind of blatantly thrown in there for the hell of it. -__-
Like when Nyu was all - "Kohta, Kohta! Feel me up!" Except, she didn't say that because the only thing she can say is "Nyu~" XD |

| I loved Elfen Lied, and I'm like the one of the very few in the ADP that did, the rest of them were turned off by the nudity and violence given in the first episode, but I found that past the first 2 eps, it became a really good series to watch. My favourite character by far is Lucy (although I did like Nana), and like everyone else I hated Nyu, however my most hated characters overall were - Spoiler:
those puppy-killing bastards from Lucy's past who did not get a death deserving of their deeds, it was far too quick.
- Spoiler:
Lucy herself is a rather tragic character, a lot of her kills in her past were done simply because she knew no other way to solve her problems and killing just came easy for her due to her nature. I mean she killed at least 2 happy families because she wanted a place to stay while she was on the run from the orphanage, a group of onlookers and passer-bys at a festival due to a jealous rampage(this is partially Kohta's fault imo for lying to her, but then again, he had no idea that she was homicidal) and ultimately Kohta's father and sister, the latter's death being somewhat cringe-worthy as she got freaking bisected. Until Kohta finally knocked sense into her and then she finally feels remorse for all that she did because it was only then that she understood the magnitude of her actions. It's that kind of thing in the development of a character that I like and Elfen Lied is a really good series for character development... at least for Lucy in any case.

| Thought I'd bring this topic back from the dead ^^
Watched the series from beginning to end AGAIN, and I'd forgotten how beautiful it is. I hate how Kouta never ended up with Lucy, it was so sad... I love Lucy.
- Spoiler:
To me, it was a love story, I ignored most of the violence, I'm numb to it anyway. The relationship between Kouta and Lucy was heartbreaking, how Lucy was betrayed, how Kouta accepts her for who she is when everyone else hated her, and how they were friends as children and due to jealousy they were torn apart only to be reunited by fate later on. And even then, Lucy was left out of everything, when Kouta and Lucy kissed, only to be separated *tears*... ;_;
also I hate how Kouta and his cousin end up together and have kids in the manga. ew. no.

| Elfen Lied was the shit! The anime is awesome and the manga is even awesomer! The opening song and the AMV was very well done IMO... I'm into art, so I recognized what they tried to do in the opening... and I liked it a lot! |

| Oh wow, I totally didn't realize this thread had been brought back to life lol.
I thought Kohta's cousin was a dork too, but I also thought it was silly how he got all confused and was playing one girl off against the other. Then again, it was mostly just 'cause the cousin (forgot her name), kept throwing herself at him whenever she had the chance. Gosh! |

Re: Elfen Lied By Shukura. 13/02/09, 10:58 am |
| I was previewing it with my brother and all I picked up was people standing around an awful lot and a lovely example of the clubbing-baby-seals-to-death violence. I just about cried. I don't think I'll ever watch it because of that one scene.

Involving a puppy.

Re: Elfen Lied By Guest. 04/04/09, 08:33 am |
| I used to like it but then I realised it was just a harem, that didn't execute the story well enough for my taste. It had so much potential in my mind, but was let down by it's typical character types ("Nyu" is just another chi, if she were in Lucy form the whole time it would have been much better. The main guy is far too typical and boring, etc. etc.). On top of that parts didn't really make sense, or just didn't seem believable, and the whole thing just seemed like an excuse for overdone violence and drama. I'll stop my rant now... But I really thought it was going to be a lot better, it had a really good idea of portraying how humanity treats others.
BTW my favourite is Mariko |
