Apart from the last bit, this is my view.

It was awesomely bloody and violent, and somehow I still ending up BAWWWWWing, [especially around episode eight/ the last episode]

More would ruin the series though, a lot of mainstream anime could learn from that.

[Inuyasha anyone?]

I haven't seen the whole anime, but I did see the scene where the little girl gets stabbed a bunch on the cross. I doubt I could see the rest on YT since I'm under aged, but I don't think I really want to.

you just refered to higurashi no naku koro ni.

elfen lied is the amine this thread referes to.:thumbup:

They got what they had coming.

Lucy is waaay too hot ~ <3

The fact that she was an emotionless mass murderer at the beginning only made it better.

Oh man I love Elfen Lied xD it is one of my favourite animes only like ever :3

It is one of the few animes that I loved to the extent I actually own the collection xD

For sure it was bloody, violent, gore filled, and definitely not for the squeamish and quite frankly at times was damn depressing, but that wasn't a bad thing xD

Flow was beautiful, imagery was IMO rather impressive, admittedly I do think they overdid it with the squelching noise at times but that added to the impact of it really xD

Nyuu is freaking adorable, I just wanted to squish her :3 and I love Nana to pieces xD although Mariko scares the shit out of me, damn freaky brat D:

The last episode was so sad >.< Lucy ;____;

I hear the manga is really rather different. Though I have not looked at that myself yet xDDD

I would say it is an anime that everyone should at least watch once :3

 

[Massive Attack]

Noooooooooooooooodity.

Yes.

 

[Hypoxium]

Elfen Lied is a work of art, one of the best anime I've ever seen by far.

 

[Dawning Twilight]

I haven't watched it in while. However as far as I remember the series, it was basically porn with an attempted plot.

Except for the fact that it had no porn in it.

 

[Dawning Twilight]

shall i say nudity with an attempted plot to make it more accurate?

EDIT: my apologies i should have said softcore.

Methinks you would benefit from watching it again dearest. It can hardly be called porn regardless of whether you label it softcore or not xD

Yes there is some nudity, but to be perfectly honest I do not think that there is enough to warrant a statement like that xD it is certainly not graphic nudity either. Not only that but erm, how would a plot make the nudity more accurate?

That "attempted" plot as you called it works rather well IMO xD

Lawl, more like mediumcore?

look up the definition for softcore. Lol.

Yes there is some nudity,

keyword being "some" xD

but to be perfectly honest I do not think that there is enough to warrant a statement like that xD

one person's opinion.

it is certainly not graphic nudity either.

um nudity is nudity. Lol.

Not only that but erm, how would a plot make the nudity more accurate?

i never said that. i corrected my statement and where it had said porn i wrote down nudity. ok?

That "attempted" plot as you called it works rather well IMO xD

for softcore porn. Lol.

Lawl, more like mediumcore?

is there such a thing? ^^:;;

 

[Pelafina]

I wish they'd translate the manga, I'd like to read it.

The media has some nudity, would you class the news as softcore porn too?

one person's opinion.

I do believe that your post can be seen as one person's opinion too my love. Unless you have multiple personalities?

um nudity is nudity. Lol.

For sure nudity is nudity, however it would have been completely different if the anime was all explicit nudity. There is a difference between full on graphic nudity and that which is shown in Elfen Lied.

i never said that. i corrected my statement and where it had said porn i wrote down nudity. ok?

Love you did say that, " shall i say nudity with an attempted plot to make it more accurate?" that is exactly what you said. It was a sentence that didn't make sense to me, I questioned it :3

for softcore porn. Lol.

Well if cartoons are what gets you off, each to their own I guess.
The plot is a pretty decent storyline fullstop IMO

Of course, as you pointed out, this is all my own opinion. I respect yours and I would expect you to do the same, or at least not type with such a patronising tone >__>

xDD

 

[Strifentine]

I didn't like the gorey fights, especially the one between Lucy and Nana, but other than that I thought EL was a beautiful anime~ I found the plot to be very interesting and engaging, and Lucy's story was very sad </3

And episode 8 really made me cry ;_;
