Anime: Elfin Lied, Anime. Disease Factory’s Take.
November 20th, 2007 by Hexfix93
In my opinion, the best anime ever made. Why? Because i can relate to it as a person on so many levels. I too was a rejected kid. What i love most is how it shows an almost complete hatred of mankind and to that i can totally relate. I don’t wan’t to give away too much, It’s best to go into this one blind i think.
The Animation quality is good, the characters are great, you feel for most of the people in the story. It does a good job at telling a very twisted tail. I prefer to watch most anime subtitled, mostly because of the inflections, and the speech of the native japanese is so much more expressive. But i will admit, the english dub on this one is ok and not horrid. You really owe it to yourself to see this, especially if you are on the fence with anime because you think it’s so fluffy, gay, and childish or what not. This will slap you in the face.
What really won me over on this anime? THE GORE. This is one of the bloodiest cartoons i have ever seen. It is a blood bath in parts. Supernatural HORROR! My favorite genre ever. This pegs it on most accounts for me. I really was blown away by this. Not many things make me cry when i watch them, this did. This is a heavy heavy heavy story. And for that i tip my hat. give this a 10 out of 10. YOU MUST BUY THIS! Click here to buy.

This was recomended by hex a year or so ago. When it was, I searced it out. Didn’t know jack about animee. ” Speed Racer”and “Ghoast in the Shell” was about it. ” elfin” is great for all the reasons summed up in the review. It’s quite sexy too.

I saw this one a while back mainly out of curiosity. A few reviews said this was probably one of the most violent animes out there…so I had to see what all of the fuss was about. Now, I’m really not one for massive amounts of gore, but the story was so riveting that I had to see the whole thing. This is worth every minute…

what makes the story so good is the emotional effect it has, leaving you
heart-broken but still yearning for more
The very ending was a magnificent when you see the shadow at the door and all of a suden the broken clock rings
i have re-watched all the episodes at least 3 times i truely do enjoy elfen lied

YES!! Just finished the series, based on your reccomendation. Amazing…I had avoided it until now after hearing plenty of boo’s from critics for the gratuitous violence and nudity. Those quibbles aside, the story itself is a true heartbreaker. I cried, got pissed off, can’t ask for more than that in an anime, than to have my emotions thrown all around the room.
thanks for the review.
