There may or may not already be a post on this, but I'm too lazy to find it.

 

SO.

 

Are there any EL fans on here? I'm hoping so, since this anime/manga are my favorite and I love them both [even though the manga is different]. My favorite character is Nyuu [NOT KAEDE!]. I like her because she's so cute and innocent, and gets so excited about even the little things. I also like her because I can relate to her [in the manga] when she cuts herself because she has done bad things and she doesn't know why [no, I'm not a murderer D:].

 

So, do you like Elfen Lied? And who's your favorite character? ^^ I'd also love to know if you have another manga or anime that you love!

You know, for a show that was tipped off to me, for being extremely ultra violent with lots of nudity... what I actually got was a dull and confused plot about psychic vampire clones.

 

 

And compared to the stuff I grew up watching, like Fist of the North Star, 3x3 Eyes, Guyver, Devilman et'al, it's just not even that violent, people just can't wrap there head around the tonal dissonance of the art style and the blood. It's attempts to shock and make the characters seem deep are so ham fisted they make NGE look subtle by comparisson... bare in mind, NGE has a scene where a 14 year old kid whips his baby batter over a comatose 14 year old girls tits in a scene that actually was shocking... then disturbing and finally hilarious.

 

But I don't know, EL always gets a free pass from younger Otaku and it really isn't as Anime goes, that good of a show. it's pace is painfully slow and I can handle a slow pace, but at least reward my patience with some good story or visuals, the characters seem drawn from the big book of anime archetypes and when you've seen over 2000 movies, ova's and series, it really doesn't stand out at all.

I watched Elfen Lied when I was 12 or 13, my favorite was and still is Mariko. She kicks butt but let's face it, she's just a little girl who deep down just wants to be loved by her own father.
