After all, if Elfen Lied were a live action movie it would almost certainly be rated NC-17.
On the other hand, Elfen Lied is absolutely brilliant. It's my second favorite Anime series (next to FLCL) and it's one of the most moving stories I've ever watched, Anime or otherwise. Many people hate it, but lots of people hate "Citizen Kane" and "The Godfather" too...:cool:
