Elfen Lied

[chuunin7]

I don't think I see one in here.. Well, anyone ever hear it? It's a good anime for me, BUT the details is minus and the art is just not fit the story.. And also it's have unesessary nudity in it.. But the Op music is cool! Well, discuss..

[edo'sgirl]

I like Elfen Lied. I think it's cool. Your right, there could have been less nudity, but I think that it was a pretty good anime.

[Ichiro Matsuchani]

I didn't like the anime all in all, but there were a few good points that it had to it.

I didn't understand why the main characters would even consider putting themselve in the line of fire for some strange naked girl that they found on a beach. Yet, if you think about it yourself (For the guys out there), what would you do if you found a hot naked chick on the beach that only knew how to say nyu?

Enough said. xD

[Mamushi]

I like it. But you're right. Too much nudity. They're useless. But actually, it's very cool. Shattered human body parts, you can see the bone from it's piece..... But I prefer the ending song...

[HellHog]

never heard of it but ill watch it soon

[macus2]

i have seen it, its not that bad

[chuunin7]

Lucy is cool. I like her.. I like Lucy, not nyuu.. You know what I mean.. I hope.. ^^

[sharinganuzr10]

i liked it. but in the beginning i was surprised with all the blood. this anime has to be the bloodiest anime ive ever seen!

[Mamushi]

You're right. Lucy is cool. Not like her other side, Nyuu. OMG. I want to kill that other side of her. Really. I hate a girl type like her! So, Lucy won't have a silly side like that.

Elfen Lied was a really good anime, yes, a fair amount of nudity and gore, but i liked the story too, and the ending was ace

[Ouroboros Anarchy]

I love Elfen Lied. Even when you ignore the nudity and gore the story is well written. The stuff dealing with repressed memories and psychological trauma isn't something you see in many animes and mangas. Well none of the ones I've seen or read.

And I disagree. Nyuu is cool, Lucy may be the cool psychotic killer, but Nyuu is the cute sister most Otaku would love to have, well at least this Otaku would.

[TMcMahon51]

Elfen Lied is the one where people end up being dismembered a few times, right?

If so, then yes, I do find it pretty cool. There aren't many anime I know of with that kind of gore, except for Hellsing, and another that I can't exactly remember.

[TheDevil'sReject]

I've seen the first 10 episodes so far and i must say that i am really enjoying it. I admit that sometimes the nudity is a bit....pointless, but putting that issue to one side, it's still a great anime and a great achievement overall.

[anime133]

I have seen bits of ElfenLied, enough 2 realise shes insane xD
All i have seen is her rip people's limbs of and kill, does she even have a nice side?

[Scarlet Wings]

Everything in it is perfect :]

[Pyrobrave]

I really like it even though it has the unnecessary nudity. Some might say the nudity was actually part of the story. But who knows. But anyways, the action is really good and if you like a lot of gore in your animes, then you will like this one.

[Gnosis]

Elfen Lied was a masterpiece. It was extremely well written, the way they put scenes of comedy with scenes of drama. The nudity served a noble purpose, though some of it was unnecessary. Without the nudity of the Diclonius, it would not have felt as realistic, or felt as serious. When people are captured and torture, they do not get clothes. You have to be mature enough to really enjoy the story, otherwise it can really freak you out.

The nudity and the gore are an integral part of the story. Without the brutality of the Diclonius, we would not feel what the writers are portraying.

Kouta put himself in the line of fire for Nyu, beacause he a loving and kind person. It was not because she was a "hot naked chick." He would have done the same for the little girl Mayu. There exists a philosophy where you put others above yourself, and risk your life for other's well being. Go do some research on it, you might learn something.

[Vodovorot]

The anime rocks. Just rocks. Don't mind the fansab - it is just to attract some pathetic hentai lovers (if you are one - you are pathetic! lol). I totally enjoyed the thing - the anime, not fansab, - and i can tell you guys, it will be the best thing we are to see in this year, except for Karas, of course.

>_<

[Regex]

The hell is "Fansab"?

[Scarlet Wings]

I agree, the violence and nudity is very necessary for the story.

[Vodovorot]

Fansab is usage of nudity in anime, used to attract larger amount of viewers. lol

[Vodovorot]

Ah, sorry for spelling - it is spel fansub. That's it. FANSUB.

[Regex]

Well.. Fansub is just when unpaid fans are translating and subtitling an anime... I think you may be confused.

I saw it on /b/TV about 2 months ago with Masali. It was funny.
Really, i'm the first to enjoy the whole...Nudity+Gore equation, but this was just too much. Not too mucH in terms of the amount of gore and nudity...Too much in terms of how lame it was.
