What was the point of that anime? A girl with supernatural powers that kills few people out of jealousy gets hunted down by law enforcement. She would be either locked up in a facility and being experimented on forever or just killed on sight. I don’t understand what it way trying to tell us.
Half of it was good, the other half quickly became “bring another girl to my harem anime”. Unsatisfied with the anime I dived into the last few chapters of the manga to find out how it ends… Shit dude that is depressing.
If you look at Okamoto Lynn’s work after Elfen Lied you’ll find he is a fucking nutcase with a fetish for women melting ie: Brynhildr in the Darkness and Parallel Paradise the later is basically hentai.
To be fair I find it boring and very slow. I don’t feel the drama/tension like I did in the first series. On the flip side I’m really digging Kristina with big boobs.
Elfen lied is just a tragedy about a ‘monster’ who clings to normality in the boy she loves. The point is to get you to empathize with her plight. It’s not very original but I like the execution.
Hmm… I guess I’ll finish up the Marimite franchise after I finish Nichijou. Gotta save the Ichigo Mashimaro OVA for next saturday after Darling. May also watch the next thing in the Slayers franchise this week too. Gonna have quite a bit of free time with all the season’s shows ending.
