W00t! Majorly awesome series. If you haven't seen it.. *grabs her pitchfork and glares* Nah, I'm kidding. Some totally nice person, whose name I don't remember uploaded the whole series (Including the 14th episode, aka 10.5) on Youtube Just search for 'Elfen Lied'
I've seen a couple people mention Elfen Lied in a few topics around here, so I know there are fans, but no topics *sniff* Sooo, yeah ^_^ Talk about Elfen Lied and the awesomeness.

i want to see but al i get is green image that go's through the screem but i saw an AMV it was pretty good ^^

Blood? Titties? Limbless paraplegics? Pwning of n00bs?

Tick off all these cos this anime has got it all. I had to cross incest off the list cos i realised that Yuka was actually not his cousin.

Thome - May 14, 2006 07:33 PM (GMT)
Titties?
Come on.
It got so much deeper then that.
The plot in Elfen Lied was extravigently full of character development and a very interresting story line.

But the first two that you have to mention is blood and titties. >.<
Oh well, it can't be helped.

BebopCola - May 16, 2006 05:42 AM (GMT)
compared to other anime elfen lied does not get deep at all...

some girl gets powers that she doesnt want and is held at an institution away from the guy she loves. she cant be with him cos her powers will hurt him.

its not that deep. the only highlight of the plot is when i realised what happened to his father and sister i was like "oooooooohhhh ok then..."

pretty much the highlight for me was the complete carnage that i always love and a few funny faces

Katatonic - May 31, 2006 03:14 PM (GMT)
I'd have to agree it wasn't too deep but deep enough to keep me intriqued. (consdiering I see titties everyday that part doesn't peak my interest)

I love the use of violence and balence of catharsis, a good anime to lure your friends in who don't like anime so much.

NaotaInko - May 31, 2006 03:54 PM (GMT)
One of my friends from an old forum I was on said this was the best anime of all time, so I've been to trying to get my other friends to download it so I could watch it, but I heard it's only 13 episodes long?

Clyphire - May 31, 2006 09:03 PM (GMT)
Never heard of it...

Thome - May 31, 2006 09:13 PM (GMT)
that's because you are silly.
Elfen Lied is one of the best animes I've ever seen.

Clyphire - May 31, 2006 09:35 PM (GMT)
Is it about elvs?

Thome - May 31, 2006 09:39 PM (GMT)
Symbolistically, yes.

Clyphire - May 31, 2006 09:47 PM (GMT)
elvs are stupid!

Thome - May 31, 2006 09:56 PM (GMT)
Are they?
I disagree. And stand by my statment that Elfen Lied is a rather enjoyable anime. You'd best try it out.

Clyphire - May 31, 2006 10:05 PM (GMT)

I dont want to look at porn....

NaotaInko - June 6, 2006 07:28 PM (GMT)
Actually Elfen Lied is considered Ecchi, there's nudity , but it's not sexual.
There's 3 branches of Anime.
Anime- your usual comedies and other stuff , with no nudity- Ex: Trigun, Hellsing, Comartie High ,etc.
Ecchi- nudity is in it, but it is not sexual in anyway- Ex: Ranma 1/2, Elfen Lied, etc.
Henti- basically the "porn" you speak of Phire, and Elfen Lied is not porn.
Ex- (don't watch it so no examples known, though supossedly Green Green is and a few other things that one of my friends watches)
Hell your precious Naruto has nudity in it, and you aren't disgusted by it one bit? But one thing about naked "elves" (which they aren't) and you go ballistic. . .

I just saw the first episode of this today, and I have one question. . .what is that music playing in the beginning when Lucy (that is her name right?) is killing all of those people, I liked that song a lot.

NaotaInko - June 7, 2006 01:47 AM (GMT)
Actully I have a second question, when she (Lucy) ends up eith those two people, does she suddenly have memory loss, or is it something like a split- personality?

Thome - June 7, 2006 01:51 AM (GMT)
The bullet that hit her in the head and broke off her mental restraint caused mental damage, so yes: she has split personalities. the dominant of those two personalities being Nyuu, and Lucy staying dormint in the back of her own mind.

And Diclonius are in a way "elvs." Haven't you ever read the beutiful poem entitled Eflen Lied?

Elfenlied (Elf song)

At night in the village the watchman cried "Eleven!"
A very small elf was asleep in the wood -
just at eleven! -
And he thinks that the nightingale
must have called him by name from the valley,
or Silpelit might have sent for him.

So the elf rubs his eyes,
comes out of his snail-shell house,
and is like a drunken man,
his nap was not finished;
and he hobbles down, tip tap,
through the hazel wood into the valley,
slips right up to the wall;
there sits the glow-worm, light on light.

"What are those bright windows?
There must be a wedding inside;
the little people are sitting at the feast,
and dancing about in the ballroom.
So I'll just take a peep in!"

Shame! he hits his head on hard stone!
Well, elf, had enough, have you?
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!


Clyphire - June 7, 2006 02:06 AM (GMT)
Whare is there nudity in Naruto??? I will require an example! BELEIVE IT!!

NaotaInko - June 7, 2006 02:27 AM (GMT)
I've never heard that poem before

Ugh, I'm too lazy to list it now, later

Thome - June 7, 2006 02:40 AM (GMT)
What?
never heard of Elfen Lied???
What have you been doing in school all these years, if not at least taking a small dip into the study of fine literature?

NaotaInko - June 7, 2006 02:46 AM (GMT)
If, by fine literature you mean, "imagene a naked lady", then yes (sorry coudln't resist)

In all seriousness we've read a lot, 1942 (or was it 45, damn my memory) , Romeo & Juliet, other Shakespere plays, and some other stuff. Though I personally hate all Shakespeare stuff, probably because in my English Final we have to act out Romeo & Juliet in a selected group of 200 random students from the school, which pisses me off now that I just learned that today from my English teacher. Anyway I guess you could say we did just "dip" into fine literature. I like english a lot though, it's my favorite subject, like to read and write stuff like that, though I've never heard of that poem, ever.

NaotaInko - June 23, 2006 06:24 PM (GMT)
Well, I just finished watching this great show, and I have two questions, one of which I'm pretty sure on the answer.

1) Was that Lucy at the end, by the gate, you know when Kouta mentions that the clock is working again? (This is the one that I'm pretty sure it's Lucy/other personality)


and

2) Why are the Diclonius trying to kill humans? I never quite got that part, I know it has something do with being sent by God, but that's all I got on that.

Thome - June 23, 2006 06:29 PM (GMT)
1. That's left up to your own imagination, or maybe there will be a sequel?

2. They were the next step in evolution. You know that Homo Erectos killed off all the Prometheus in the first ever war back in prehistoric times. The same thing goes for now. A new species rises, and has an uncontrollable urge to kill off all of the species before it. Happens all the time.

NaotaInko - June 23, 2006 06:31 PM (GMT)
Ehh, it's possible for a sequel to come, I'd like to see one, but what would it be about?

Hmm, I was off there, but ehh that's true that kind of stuff happens.

Thome - June 23, 2006 08:56 PM (GMT)
Anyway, the sequel would probably be that start of the end. As in it would pick up right where it left off....or whatever.
This is all purely assumptions.

blue_impulse - June 25, 2006 02:19 PM (GMT)
I just started watching Elfen Lied, Its pretty good so far. ^_^

Thome - June 25, 2006 05:13 PM (GMT)
It's got nudity, violence, and one hell of a thick plot.
What the hell's not to like?

NaotaInko - June 29, 2006 06:19 PM (GMT)
Did he say he didn't like it?

Elfen Lied ended up in my top 10 favorites, when I first heard my pervert friend talking about it though, it sounded like some stupid high school perverts fantasy (hey, if a pervert only talks about the nudity that's in it and nothing else you'd think the same thing) but it was actually pretty good.

Maybe the sequel would be about killing off all the Diclonius, but that's just my guess on it. Maybe that army dude would be back and doing it (I never caught his name, you know, the guy who needs a prosticate arm after Lucy rips it off, and cripples his other hand. Also she pokes his eyes out. The really bad ass dude, you know)
Though we could only guess on what would happen afterwards, damn people whoever made it to make me do that, making me think and shit.

Thome - June 29, 2006 06:33 PM (GMT)
XD

Clyphire - June 30, 2006 02:35 AM (GMT)
Elvs are still retarted!!

NaotaInko - June 30, 2006 03:58 AM (GMT)
Shut up and watch the awesomeness that is Elfen Lied, or I will be forced to find Fluffy the Squirrel and launch the U.F.A.S.T. on you (see the topic CPU DVD Problems for more details on this)

Clyphire - June 30, 2006 10:13 AM (GMT)
This "fluffy" doesnt agsisst.

NaotaInko - June 30, 2006 04:36 PM (GMT)
Yes he does! He so too does "agisst" (exist?). You know how I know he agissts! Because I made him up! HA! Nw grow up and watch Elfen Lied damnit, or I will combine all of the 3 powers of awesomeness and destory you, for being an idiot.
