Garian Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You could always try anime remix, Xaleph (formerly djcarbunk1e) runs it sorta, mostly with overcoat doing the legwork if i recall correctly. my brother has that one on the coffee table downstairs but i generally hate things he like because he has the personality of a sea slug and the sense of humour of a cadaver. i might follow this thread and if the discussion is positive enough i may give it a shot. and here's a friendly suggestion, maybe you should edit your topic to say something to the effect of "elfen lied discussion" as the current topic doesn't really elicit much thoughts about anything, and you might end up with a bunch of troll posts that end up sinking the thread into obscurity. Also, maybe you could try to kick-start the discussion with some stuff about what you like about it, so that the thread doesn't feel so much like a 'squeee favourite eeeeeeeee' thread.

Tables Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Probably the only anime series that I like, have watched in full, have the soundtrack for, and love unconditionally. What a great show. Should I read the manga? I wouldn't normally, but I guess I'm missing half the story... so yeah should I? :v: oh yeah and squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've read a synopsis for the manga, and I'd recommend against it. It doesn't seem to have the nature vs. nurture themes of the TV show, Kouta isn't the super-forgiving nice guy of the TV show, and it has a lot of extra senseless violence. But then, I don't know if you like Elfen Lied for the same reasons I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 One of the things I noticed about Elfen Lied is that the Japanese used in the anime is extremely simple compared to most. Learners should try watching it without subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Enjoyable up until the point when it turns into a harem anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 watched the first episode, which is summed up by saying I watched a naked faceless loli walk around while all these people were meltsploding in shows of red paint err blood i stopped watching after that should I not have?

Heh, I think Lucy's breasts attest to the fact that she isn't a loli. It actually is a pretty intelligent show with thoughtful things to say about nature vs. nurture.

Tensei Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think the first episode was definitely the best one (then again I like gore). I kind of lost interest after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 hi, I'm not sure if you're using the traditional 'linear' thread style or 'threaded' mode, but most forum users here (not to mention the mods) look down on multiple posts in a row look at this button: this little button helps you combine multiple posts into one post make use of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Easily the high watermark of the show. It only gets more heavy-handed and pretentiously awful as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeAuto Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I watched this what, 2 or 3 years ago? I think if the series had kept the energy from the first episode in the rest of it, it would have been a 'keeper'. But... nah, I sold it long ago. Didn't do much for me.

I'm sorry about that, I'm not very good at this really, probably shouldn't have made a thread. I've only done like 6 posts so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillian Aversa Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I did a paper on Elfen Lied a few years ago, if anyone is interested in reading: http://soundtempest.net/jill/Elfen_Lied_Gesamtkuntswerk.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's basically mainstream guro so I don't like it the best part about it is the music [p.s. thanks for the AR plugs :3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-n-j-i-n Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I thought it was okay, but yeah, the guro stuff was to the point of exhibitionism than something profound. For better/cooler usage of 'guro', Shikabane Hime and Ga Rei Zero does it better. And other 'supergirl who kills people' anime like Saikano that sets up a better mood about it.
