"Elfen Lied"

Apparently I’m on a roll for writing reviews that focus mainly on character development. Well, I can’t help it. It’s one of, if not, the most important aspect of an anime and will tell you if you will like it or not. Elfen Lied is about Lucy, who is a diclonius (a person with supernatural powers) and escapes the holding that she was in, and also about Kohta, a man who has a soft spot for women in...

"Elfen Lied review by rafael0000"

First.. its different from Elfen Laid... that sort of thing is a Hentai.. hehe!!
Well I putted much effort in this, done some research... And Bot this is Scary!!!

If you like action/horror anime, Elfen Lied is a must own. Based on the manga by Lynn Okamoto, Elfen Lied (German for "Elf Song") is a 13 episode action/horror/romance anime that stays fairly canonical to the first 6 volumes of the...

"The Anime that makes you pick up the manga."

If you compare this anime to the manga, certainly it might have left out various plots and the ending, and art improved dramatically. But, it does better than the manga in the overall sense. The anime starts off with fanservice and a shocking scene after a pleasant OP that instantly grabs the viewers for more attention. If you wish to know what happened in the ending, it will force you to pick up...

"Wonderful, that's all I can say."

This is one of the best animes I have ever seen. In thirteen episodes, it develops characters and plot completely without feeling crammed or rushed. It's about a couple, Kohta and his cousin, who takes in a young woman they find washed up on the beach. The only thing she can say is "Nyu," and she has horns growing out of her head. Meanwhile, scientists at a top-secret facility are panicking about...

"Anime girls can torn you apart."

Do you like violence, one-million handed anime chics? Dangerous yet lovely characters that have a tweaked evil side?
If you do, this anime is right the choice for you.
Let's start first with the anime themes, I really, really liked them. It gives the mysterious violent drak side thing we want, latin, everyone should love.
As we now Nyu or Lucy, any side was very enjoyable to me. After all...

"Dark,Gory anime"

I watch Elfen Lied because I've read about it in some forum and got curious.It's a dark,gory story but it keeps me wanting to watch the next episode because I m curious how it ends.The plot is good, the animation is not great but ok.Nyu is a killing machine but in a way I kinda sympathize with her. She grew up alone with no idea what's right and what is wrong, because no one taught her.She's being...

"Elfen F'N LIED DAMNIT! HOW COULD SHE?"

This anime only has 13 episodes and I honestly can say that those 13 episodes were ones that I enjoyed the most in any anime. It wasn't unneedingly long as some anime are these days, but it was just a little too short. It could've been longer with maybe fillers I felt, but it was still a really good anime. I liked how the protagonist of this story didn't have any remorse for killing when she...

"Urk... maybe I shouldn't have..."

Ah... I've bumped into several clean pictures of Elfen Lied and found the artwork pretty! Then, when I learned of watching anime online, I decided to give it a go. HOWEVER, I WAS warned about 4 times of gore and violence. But, it's as things go, you don't know until you try. And... I wish I didn't watch this series...

No offense or anything, Elfen Lied has a great storyline. It implies a...

"Simply Beautiful."

Elfen Lied has to be one of the most beautiful animes ever created. The story line is so beautiful and touching, and the animation is pretty awesome. Even though there's quite a bit of nudity, it was still okay.
The story is about a Diclonius Girl named Lucy, who escapes from a facility, and is found on the beach by a 19 year old boy, Kouta, and his cousin Yuka.
Lucy has a split personality...

"Amazingness? I think so. "

This anime (with a complicated plot that I do not feel like going into, you'll just have to go and watch it yourself ~_n ) was simply amazing. I do not, however, recommend it for those who are squeamish. There is quite a lot of blood and gore, and very good sound affects that would make someone who is not suited for such things squirm.

"Pure Hyperbole!"

Elfen Lied is one of those anime's that seems to get praise from everywhere and everyone. After fully watching the series, the comments i read seem to be completely different to how i found the series. It's so overtly blow hyperbole that i wonder if people even watched the same anime as me.

Sound:
The music to the series is in most part unnoticeable, which if you know anything about films or...

"A simply amazing anime which touches on subjects that relate to me"

Right when you start to watch episode one you will be greeted with nudity and gore. These are subjects usually taboo to mosy people and if you find you can't handle "teh boobzors" then please go watch "Naruto" or something else shallow.

This section obviously depends on the viewers taste of music. The show revolves (in its story...

"one fo the best animes ever"

Yay this anime is just so great in allmost evry way. It's one of the most touching animes i have ever seen. The animation is also pretty cool and the story-line is great with a unique ending.
To be honest i would like the guys who made this anime to make a movie or something.
There is also a lot of blood and killing here, so even if its action you want you wont get bored.
All by all an Anime...

"watch it if you can handle it."

if you are not squeamish and don't easily get offended by anything, you should give elfen lied a try.
Elfen lied is Blatant and excessive and makes no attempt at hiding anything, It's rampant with Nudity, Violence, people getting ripped apart.
I Came to know about Elfen lied after reading Great reviews and about it's controversial themes and excessive violence and also because of it's great...

"An anime that is not given enough credit"

I have personally watched the series DOZENS of times. And I could spend most of this going into a rant about how overly hyped and disturbing (as RouletteDares did), but I am also not one of the people that will compliment the show's overuse of blood and nudity in every episode. (NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!)

The series is not perfect, but then no anime is. And it is hard to assume that they will...
