Title: Elfen Lied
Post by: Kamikaze on April 14, 2005, 01:29:58 pm
You must watch this anime now. It's very violent (Could be classified as "guro"/grotesque) but has a very good story. If you're teary you might need some tissues. :p

The anime doesn't pick up its pace until about halfway through (It's 13 episodes + a special that's yet to be released).

Animefin (http://www.anime-fin.net/) has subbed it.

To be more on topic... I hear Elfen Lied is awfully popular among 4chers. That true?

As a fellow anime-watcher, I am worried about Shrike's mental health...

that one's quite odd, I must say. I guess my sense of humor differs a little from the intended audience of that series.

or I expected dokuro-chan to be a little more creative in how she kills.

Elfen Lied is gore and nudity galore...and I love it.

...which just prooves how much of a creep I am.

(+lotsa angst and good old fashioned tear jerking tragedy - yeah King Oidipus got me hooked on those....nothing like a good tragedy)

More than the gore, it's the psycholgical violence that's disturbing in this show. Anybody having seen episode 5 will understand what I'm talking about. Still, this was one hell of a sweet anime.
That being said : age due to Elfen Lied content :p

Hey I see that stuff day to day and no one seems to give a **** about it...or maybe having read most of Sven Hassel's books finally made me realize that humanity is evil most of the time.

I just rewatched the first episode (was trying to see if I had the uncut or cut version) and I noticed something I completely missed the first time. Did anyone else notice that Nyuu was humming? (This is in the first 5 minutes of the anime)

Heh, the first anime I ever watched was called 'Over-something'. All I can remember is that within the first 5 minutes it had already entered full gore/porn fest. It was quite funny, since my then girlfriend's granddad was there at the time :lol:

I suppose you're talking about urotsukidoji, also know in the US as Legend of the Overfiend. It's only THE anime of reference for tentacular/monster porn :D
Title: Elfen Lied
Post by: Flipside on April 16, 2005, 04:50:42 pm
That was it! Legend of the OverFiend! LOL

Yep, I'd only really seen stuff like Warriors of the Wind and other 'Kiddy' anime before that, twas quite a system shock ;)

Bah ! Believe me, urotsukidoji is tame compared to certain things out there.
