Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Well, seeing as I'm a GIGANTIC Elfen Lied fan, I guess it would be impracticable for me NOT to create this topic.
Elfen Lied {Ell-ven Leed (rhymes with "mead")}
One of my favourite anime's because it's gory, great storyline that I love, lovable and hateable characters plus MANY other things like the Latin "Lilium" theme song, the personalities and hardships these characters go through and just everything and the way it ties up in a bundle.
Storyline (I won't spoil very much)
A college-aged girl is held in a large laboratory for study because she is a mutant known as a "Diclonius". Diclonii are distinguishable from humans by the two, cat-ear like horns on their heads and the fact that they have four "vectors" which are invisible arms with incredible strength and move so fast they can cut through just about anything. Her name is Lucy and she escapes one day from the labroatory, killing all the soldiers who stand in her path except for the Cheif whom she lets live. Once she escapes, the Cheif instructs for her to be shot off-guard. The bullet strikes her in the temple, shattering her helmet and sending her plunging into the sea. Meanwhile, two human cousins are beginning college, a young man and woman. They wander down to the seaside to gather some lost memories when they spot Lucy standing naked and confused. They adopt her, seeing as she is helpless. Lucy is not acting her usual bloodthirsty self because the bullet had given her a split personality called "Nyu" (because that's the only word she says). Nyu is the exact opposite from the heartless Lucy; she is innocent and completely unexperienced in just about everything. But the two unaware cousins still take her into their home.
As the thirteen episode (>.<) series goes, they encounter several other Diclonii and many other characters. The Cheif sets out most of these characters to track down and kill Nyu. The only problem is, at the very last moment Nyu is about to get in trouble, her personality switches and she turns into Lucy (this also happens when she gets hit over the head). Pasts unlock to see how they twine within eachother and why Diclonii are so rare and hated.
Only problem is, it's quite gory and shows the naked torso of women, but that's about it.
Oh, and you can tell the difference between Lucy and Nyu by the faces (even if it's the same person).
This one makes it look alot more like a horror movie. WARNING: There is a bit of gore.
This one explains the storyline alot better.
Whoa, I think I went overboard with this LOL! Oh well, no problem with that ^.^

My favourite character is Nyu because I could probably become good friends with her since I'm really stupid at times.

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
lol yep I did. It was good =)
I like Nyu, but I don't know I kind of like Lucy though. I like the evil characters. Well she isn't evil, but I didn't know how to classify her. You know what I mean though.
Let your spirit flow in each and everyone one of us and may we bask in your forgiveness, love, and mercy.

I don't really watch Adult Swim all that much, since it comes on late at night, and usually they show Family Guy or Futurama; I've never seen Elfen Lied on there. I'll probably stick to Youtube then. Are you sure they have every episode on there, Dark?

American Adult Swim will never have it (though they did look in to it they decided not to) after running the whole thing though the late night censors and all that fun stuff they only had about 3 eps of air time that would flow... (oh well) how ever, I have found a great place that has Full eps of 1-12 (they removed ep13 blast them all >.<) quality is a good enough

I haven't seen this show, but I might consider watching it like Aang. And I have a question about it: is Nyu (the main character girl) a good guy or a bad guy?

Oh, so there are only 13 episodes? I didn't know that... lol. I think they'll be worth it though.
Thanks a lot for all those links, Shade! They were very helpful.

Lucy is kinda bad, but from her point of view it's because of her horrible past and when the viewer looks at it through her perspective, it's just sad, not evil. If her split personality, Nyu, was evil than I must be the devil LOL!!!
Lucy- You're psychotic but thats just a result of hating anyone who you think has wronged you. The one thing you want is someone to be there for you but your strong emotional defenses make that difficult if not impossible. Youve got a good side but people won't see it unless you try loosening up and NOT killing people. Youre cool though, just dont kill me

Well, she is sort of evil, but a lot is to do with her nature as a Diclonius. Humans are her natural enemy.

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Well, I took the quiz. Here are my results:
Kouta- Despite a terrible past you are happy in your present life, ah the joy of repression. You're nice and very caring of others. You tend to take things as they come without worrying about the future. In relationships you may send mixed signals though if asked straight out you'll give an honest answer. I think I need to watch the show to know more about who I'm most like lol. Hopefully this Kouta guy isn't bad..

Strangely, no lol.
I want to try to get Mayu *sad smile*
EDIT: I like this one alot lol. Mayu- You've had a bad past and are struggling to make your present better. You are kind despite the way you've been treated. As long as you have a friend by your side you know you can overcome any circumstances. Your past makes it unlikely you would even want an intimate relationship at this phase in your life. Hopefully things will improve.

Hahaha, i watched the one that makes it look like it's a horror movie.. I'm going to have to hire these out on DVD. (I know how much you like Spec Feat. Silv! (I'm reffering to the eragon movie topic where that Brittany person was being opinionated - No offence meant to her )
-Splorch?? I suppose it's in the series, but seeing as i haven't seen it, i chose that
Nyuu- You've got that child-like innocence and are very kind and considerate of others. You dont take many bad things personally, possibly because you accept that everybody has different perceptions on life. You may have a dark side but it rarely emerges. I like people like you.
Surprised? i'm not

LOL.
R18.
It includes psychological torture, alienation, extreme violence and gore, scenes of child abuse and a scene which I will not spoil, but it involves a puppy, a vase and blood... lots and lots of blood...

I was on Youtube just now and this person I'm subscribed to just uploaded this video. Tell me if you think it's good, since I haven't seen the show I can't really say...
From the looks of this AMV, the show seems horribly tragic...

It's evened out with nyu humor (or if you read it, it is really Nyu Rape... but it's all context sensitive... )

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Ehh.. this is a strange anime.. Don't get me wrong, I like anime, I can list off at least five shows that I love, and I'm a huge Gundam fan.. But some anime I just don't like. From what I've seen, this looks like one of the ones I wouldn't like..It's a weird feeling.. more like a vibe, actually.. very undescribable.

Well I like it (and it has nothing to do with Silver killing me if I don't like it ) it's a rather well rounded anime mixing Comedy, Drama, and Action, better than most Anime I've watched

What about the story, the charaters and the fact and shows how humans can be cruel? What about what the characters have been through .. what they live through ... ? Nothing?

Yeah, so... I think I'll watch this over Spring Break, seeing as how I'll be free for the whole week... but uhm, I need to ask. The main girl, Nyu, does she have... 2 different sides to her..?

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
yea, she has a split personality. The peaceful one is Nyu and the more violent one is Lucy.

Oh okay... cause sometimes she looks older... or that must be Lucy, I don't really know, I need to watch it lol.
So, Nyu is a Diclonius, right?

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Lol? She's a Diclonius, Lucy is just the side of her that actually produces the Diclonius nature. Which Nyu doesn't. You'll see ... ^.^
Thanksh ... ^.^

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Nyu and Lucy are both Diclonius, lol. She doesn't change race every time her personality changes.
Basically, Lucy is the half of the personality that still has Diclonius instincts, which drive it to attempt to wipe out humanity and make way for the Diclonius, who are the next evolutionary step.
Nyu is still a Diclonius, but she has no instincts and no memory. Think of it like this:
The moment Lucy went into the consciousness of Nyu for the first time, it was as if she (Nyu) had just been born. Then Kohta and Yuka found her and brought her up as a human, not as a Diclonius, meaning her Diclonius instincts were never 'programmed' into her.
Just to clear something else up, Nyu still has the use of vectors, she just doesn't know about them, let alone how to use them. I do believe towards the end of the manga she discovers the use of them.
Lol, thanks y'all... though I did miss something in there about vectors, but I'll find that out soon enough!
You're welcome

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Oh, an add on to my above post explaining everything, the horns are slightly more significant than being cosmetic. If one is broken, the Diclonius goes into a deep coma, and if the second is broken they die.
This may not be a definite rule, however: At the end of the anime we are made to believe Lucy dies by having both of her horns taken, although it isn't 100% certain because you never actually see her after the point that her horns are knocked off, and in the manga they both get blown off and she regrows them, as well as coming back immensely more powerful, so perhaps the horns being blown off could be the equivelant of a bullet to the head? You'd generally die, but there have been extremely rare cases of survivors.

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
0mg take that off!!! You'll ruin the dramatic ending for her!!! O.O We can discuss that AFTER she's seen it! *Goes nuts* O.O!
I've watched 3 episodes now, and I'll say... it's really very good! ^.^
Though I do have one question.. Yuka... does she... like Kohta? Because they're cousins, right? So wouldn't that be kinda weird...?

Good times.
It's true, but it actually comes in between ep. 10-11. It basically clarifies some plot lines in the first 10 episodes. I haven't watched it yet because I can't find an English dub version and I'm a continuity stickler.
I'm sad... the show... the ending was very... ... Did Lucy.. did she die?
And this... manga... is it different than the show?

Re: Elfen Lied {BEST EVER ANIME!}
Probably so, it's entertaining. That's just a pet peeve of mine.
I recall it being very dusty at several points, especially the end... That's an interpretation of it, perhaps. Do you remember the very last scene?
It is, the anime's shorter by about a third of the manga. The manga is more fleshed out and it continues the story to a more complete ending. I haven't gotten there yet though.
