………….dude, come on…Elfen Lied was not that bad. I mean, sure the characters weren’t as fleshed out as one would want, but the originality combined with the story made it a rollercoaster worth remembering.

I really need to just break down and see this soon. It’s a series everyone I know likes. Even mediocre reviews make it seem interesting.

I also recently reviewed this and gave it a low score. I’m not impressed by gore and nudity, and no characters behaved realistically. I realized that what I was watching was just fluff, when in one scene, the girl (cousin) starts crying because she’s worried that Kouta likes a mute girl who washed up anonymously on the beach more than her. That was too much. Suddenly the anime wanted to be Love Hina.

That said, there was some potential in the story, and at least 2 touching moments (some parts of the flashback, and the suicide scene near the end). But the whole anime was just disappointing.

However, personally I believe the main theme is the best anime OP out there.

well anime usually lack the sense of completion because they are usually done before the manga titles are fully published. None the less it was a “worthy” title

I love the blood and the extreme contrast between the violent content and the cute character design. I think the contrast is deliberately done. Nevertheless, I have to admite that without the blood, the show is not really special (if you are free, check out my review for Elfen Lied ^^)

I liked the series (mainly for reasons of blood), although I will say that the manga was better (because the anime covered only a part of the manga).
