I like the vision of blood dripping down the screen, but I'm scared That would limit the visibility of the Nudity :(

Did everyone know that the correct way to pronounce Elfen Lied is "elfen LEET"?
A friend of mine and I got into an argument about how to say it, but turns out we were both wrong.
Wikipedia says:
Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート Erufen Rīto)

Am I the last person to find out about this?

I never had problems with the pronounciation because I'm german :P

And you are right, it is spelled "Leet". "Lied" is the German word for "song" which (of course), doesn't have anything to do with lies, lol.

The anime was really good and it's one of the few that got so many reviews.Most probably due to the blood/gore scenes.I enjoyed it though.Splatter fan sighted... :D

Anyway,does anyone know what's happening in the manga?As far as I know,there are 80 chapters(9 volumes) translated so far with a total of 12 volumes and 107 chapters.Does it deviate from the anime story and take a new direction?

As far as I'm aware, the manga had a far different plot. Which I guess is understandable considering the length.

I kinda feel like checking it out sometime :/

The name of the series comes from a poem by Eduard Mörike titled 'Elfenlied', in this case actually meaning 'Elf Song' (at least from what me and my poor German knowledge have gathered) so the correct pronounciation should be in German. 'Diclonius' is also the name of an elf from another of Mörike's poems.

The Manga does have a totally different plot... I found a website that hosts it, but you have to actually download it, which I'm not really into.
