Elfen Lied

[Java]

Anyone watched Elfen Lied? if so what are your thoughts?

My thoughts is that Elfen Lied is a really good anime, it has a really strong plot. And a fair amount of romance. I would suggest all of you anime fans to watch it :)!

Once this skin's peeled, I'll be able to wear my factor 80 and protect myself from the sun's rays! I've got my swimming trunks but I can't swim! Where did I put my armbands? They're somewhere in this forum. Answer the following question to find them: Lust and Gluttony are known as 2 of the seven... what?

I tried watching it but I only watched the first episode, I don't like all the gory stuff, even though its animated. ;p

Great anime I have to say, I loved it.

I think the main thing that appealed to me was the story line and the gore :)

Same. I watched the first few minutes, but the amount of gore and mindless killing (well, some mindless killing is alright, but didnt enjoy that too much) just wasn't my thing. It seemed rather depressing for me (especially what some ppl have said about it).

honestly it's a lot more than just 'gore', the first ep takes the piss it's not like that throughout. there's more than one story line not just 'omg she kills people', i enjoyed it anyway ^^ except the ep with the dog.....

When that happened I really wanted to strangle my tv screen. It really hurt me. I dont like the first episode though.

Was speaking to a guy while queing up in london, Basically said its not as good as other series out there just an excuse to get a girl naked and but some gore in it. Not worth my time when theres plenty to watch. So made me think if i wanna watch it or not and ive seen the 1st ep before mayb 2 years ago? and ive not even thought on watching it so maybe im not to keen on it anyway xD

I recall a pen being shot in the air if i remember.

I personally think it is one of the most overrated anime series ever. As Ryuzaki said, it really is just an excuse to get an animated girl naked and at times it seems to even forget its genre. Plus the violence and gore is pointless - it isn't really use to convey any message or any meaning - it is just there when it really didn't need to be that excessive. I never finished the series as I failed to see any merit in it and didn't want to waste my time continuing, but I can't be missing much.

I've been avoiding this since it just sounds like gore, bad story and fan service. Dunno where people are getting 'really strong plot' from, I've heard otherwise.

Good luck with that. The DVD has been discontinued along with everything else ADV had licensed. They were selling the last copies off at the MCM Expo in May for only £10. I think they were all sold in the end.

No worries then £10 saved for OP.

Why? Because he isn't buying Elfen Lied or because he has money you can't be bothered to earn?

Nemo you're full of contradictions. Didn't you want a job only last month as you were short on money and now you'd rather lay-in all day? Make your mind up!

Im just trying to make the best out of a bad situation! If i had a job offer then id go for it :P but im not gonna go all out for one. EMA will be nice though ;D

[Neversoft]

Do you realise you're not going to get a job offer without trying? :eusa_wall Haha, EMA is the reason my manga collection is so huge. It really hasn't grown much since I finished college. I wish the new government scrapped EMA just so I could laugh at everyone. Although I don't think you'll get the biannually £100 bonus anymore will you? Hahahahahaha!

Yes obviously, i did look around but i didnt try super hard, like i said im not too bothered. And i wanna save it and invest (all businessman like), but i'll probably end up spending much of it. But yeah, im not getting the £100 bonus anymore :( ******.
