I haven't really experiencd watching gory before, so i really don't know.


The level of blood in this rivals Berserk. Seriously, you'll think the red on your screen went into overload at times. It is worth watching, but it's definately full of death(lots), dismemberment(the usual method of death), nudity (lots of that), animal cruelty, people cruelty, and someone steals candy from a baby.

Or, to put it another way, most elfen lied videos should be considered too gratuitiously violent for this site, and thus are hosted off site.

Other than that, it's a cute show with a fun romantic bent.

Number 35/Mariko is director Kuramas biological daughter and Mayu is some kind of "adoptive child", well Mayu made it up in her mind that Kuruma is her father so that she could bear up against the pain from all the experiments she had to go through.

The reason why Mariko has more vectors than Lucy and any other Diclonius is because she`s an 3rd generation Diclonius and therefor "stronger" than Lucy.

Oy! Elfen Lied's probably somewhere on my top 10 list (can't seem to think it up right now :? ) Yep, the anime's ending hella pissed me off, as did the godawful dubbing. I've started a long process of downloading translations of the manga, so hopefully I'll find a better ending before too long. PS, anyone know where I can get the full extended version of Lilium in mp3 format? I have it in ogg but i'm without a converter.

You mean Nana, not Mayu. Nana = 7 in Japanese, remember?

I don't think there is a vector count in the manga. Lucy has way more than 4 vectors in the manga, and they don't necessarily come out of her back.

Oh yeah I meant Nana of course, I don`t think that Mayu would have survived those kind of experiments! :P

To put it lightly, I think all the youngsters (Kouta, Yuka, and Mayu [and also possibly Nana]) are all a bit dim. Maybe its just the dramatic irony, but I think I would be suspicious if I found that people were being killed and slapped around while a seemingly innocent girl was living with me. :roll:

Aw, but she's so cute and innocent..and has such a small vocabulary...

Yeah, it was weird but it might mean they are all just too naive.

Definitely lucy, only one who's not retarded.

I oughta mention some stuff me and my friend noticed. We were watching the fourth disc and I had seen all of it before and my friend had seen most of the episodes. We got to the final episode and I told him to watch the part
where Lucy and Kohta talk and hug each other. I was hoping he'd spot the hand symbol that Lucy always makes when the shot pans to Kohta's back. My friend spotted something even more amazing. He noticed before me that when Lucy changes to Nyu she becomes shorter, and when Nyu becomes Lucy she becomes taller. Well, when they hug each other, not only does Lucy make the hand symbol but she also becomes shorter! It's as though she and Nyu have merged and are no longer distinguishable
. I dunno, maybe this helps explain the ending.

not to mention that her horns change with her persona. whenever she is lucy and is in a slightly phycotic state her horns seem to get longer and stand out more, where as when shes nyu she has much more subtle horns that are more against her head that lucy's.

I wonder how many of those nuances there are. I'd have to check up on that.
