We already have an Elfen Lied thread. forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=156" target="_blank">http://killer7.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=156 This one has more replies though so whatever. I hate this show, it just made me feel depressed. Sad I hate this show as well. Although it Doesn't make me depressed or what not. The show comes off as "stupid" to me. The over excessive violence just makes moi laugh. The first time I saw Elfen lied was when that lil' girl got her fingers cut off & her legs amputated. Shit I don't remember. I think her entire body fell apart. All I remember was that it looked like pointless shock factor with no bearing to the plot. I kept my opinion about this show to myself, but since Mecha already said his piece. I'd might as well say mine. I'll try to spare the rant this time. She pretty much said everything that I hate about Elfen. http://chalong.hp.infoseek.co.jp/reviews/elsucks.html (UPDATE: It seems they slimmed down the genre description tremendously on the wikipedia page. Back then it was listed under about twenty different things. O_O) Yeah, Elfen Lied totally has an identity crisis. It tries to be everything at once and fails being everything at once. The only thing that it could've been good as is a harem anime. (if it stayed that way it'd probably be one of my guilty pleasures >_>;;) If I want a harem anime I'll watch Ranma 1/2. If I want a story with hardcore violence and people with psychological issues I'll read Berserk. If I want a story with nekkid ladiez and hardcore seXXORz I'll read volumes 17-21 of Berserk. If I want a love story with tons of irony and ends with a cliffhanger I'll watch Basara. If I want a sci-fi story with a cute horned girl I'll play Phantasy Star 2 or 4. If I want to watch a story with people fucked in the head I'll watch Perfect Blue. This is one of the only shows where the violence actually disturbed moi. Why, mostly because of how childish & over the top it looked. Now Kite, that's another anime that had disturbing ass over the top violence, but Kite actually has pretty decent writing. Kite's disturbing plot actually matches the level of depravity that you see on screen. Yet at the end of the day, Kite felt like it was more than just pointless violence & T&A. (You actually feel kinda sorry when that one boy dies at the end of the movie.) That's where Elfen Lied falters. I mean, what the fuck was that show about? I'd probably dig Elfen Lied had it stayed dark & dreary, but then it has the nerve to turn into some random happy/chipper ass anime. Acting as if that little bitch never killed nobody. IMO, Elfen Lied is the perfect example of what happens when you get an incompetent writer to write your ish. You get this random ass gibberish with schizophrenic disorder.

I used to like Elfen Lied, but not so much now. It was good for some mindless violence entertainment, but the romance added in was just stupid. I have no idea what kind of crack they were smoking to think of mixing a cutesy love story with horrifying violence.

It was surely good for the shock factor but the scene always would turn to a love scene which I personally hated.

Elfen lied owns my favorite events of it are when the doctor tried to kill his offspring because this was not a normal human, and before that he also told another man to get rid of his baby just because it was abnormal, this man told him "how I going to do that is my own baby" and this doctor convinced to kill his own baby, and when this doctor's baby was born he tried to kill her, and his wife get up of bed and saw it, she started crying and died because she lost blood, since she just had the baby, this doctor could not deal with it, he always remember his wife, and his baby was not killed, she survived because a man saved her and now the doctor owes his offspring life, and he works for him and do a lot of evil things just because of the mistake he did this event reminds me of someone, he has his wife and children but he had a lover lulz, and his lover became pregnant and he have a good family, he knew this would ruin his life and marriage, so he told his lover "you only are my lover nothing more, do an abortion' she did it, but he became a drunker and lost in alcohol because he always think about it, he feels guilty, he thinks "how old my son would be by now?" poor man and the woman as well, she cried, blaming yourself for the rest of your life ... another one is when, in real life when a relative dies people always hold some memories of them like in the anime, kaota had a shell to remember his sister, and as in real life when people see these things in form of memory they become sad, so Nyuu destroyed the shell and kaota became so mad lol she did it because she saw that this shell made him sad, she did not know it was a memory of his sister, lol but as in real life, stupid ppl should stop having memories of their dead relatives, why to have them if they will only become sad? xD :P I loved this part there are a lot of events that I love but my favorite of all are when lucy who has a double personality okay, Lucy killed a lot of people because she is not a normal human and she became mad because kaota told her that he would be in the fair with a boy, but in fact he was with his cousin that is a she, when Lucy saw it, she became mad and killed a lot of people, Kaota's sister saw everything. then in the train, kaota's sister was telling kaota that a girl with horns killed that people in the fair, kaota said "no, no way" because Lucy had horns and he liked her, and she did not look evil, and his sister continue "yes this girl did it" and kaota became mad "you are a liar" and his sister run and kaota was after her, his sister saw that Lucy was in the train, she said "she did it" and kaota said "don't lie, she did not" his sister said "I am not lying, brother believe me *in tears* " then Lucy killed kaota's sis in front of kaota's eyes and his dad came to see what was going on, lucy killed him too, in front of kaota's eye, wtf this is powerful what about if the people you love the most are killed in front of your eyes, and lucy is the person he loves, he can't forgive her, then kaota's mind was screwed, he could never remember this event.........well this is my favorite vid and the song name is Requiem of a dream http://youtube.com/watch?v=UotxccSyxsA

You know what? I saw Elfen Lied just a week ago. And I really didn't get the point. I mean, I can't understeand what the fuck was all about. I really can't. In every way I look at it, for me it's just random tragedies with asses, tits and extreme violence. Nyu = Chii (chobits)
