Was this really hyped up when it came out?
>>288495714overrated ugly anime. The manga is way better but it isn't big shit itself. a solid 06/10
>>288495714Unadultrated kino, not for /v/ tourists
it sucked without the diaper girl...
>>288495714Let's just say the first 15 minutes gave it a lot of goodwill.
>>288495714you had to be there
I wish they would make another adaptation of this. It's been 20 years. They would have to make some changes though. Get rid of the harem shit, get rid of the incest shit, be sure to have the manga ending instead of the anime ending
I'd say most people know it for the artsyfartsy OP these days
>>288496269may as well throw out the murders and child trafficking while you're at it
>>288495714It was one of those "early youtube" shows. It came out at the right time so everyone got to see the clip of that brutal hallway scene, but fewer people actually saw the entire thing. That gave it the air of "one of these super weird hardcore shows that the otaku guys watch".
>>288496309I mean, yeah. The loli shit is pretty gross and unnecessary too. It adds nothing to the story other than being pointlessly edgy and fetishistic
>>288495778I think the color is really good. It’s not washed out but it’s also not that old of an anime
>>288496269Fag
>>288496388That was a joke about you being a retarded prude.
>>288495714Only for the western tourists. The timing was just right with the internet getting widely available for most households, and their kids hopping on the internet for entertainment. The anime they've been exposed to before weren't degenerate gore shows with Pokemon and Naruto, so it tickled the edgelord cravings, and the first episode was quite well animated too. Not the mention the OP sets a very strong tone.
>>288495714There was a guy in it that was majoring in the internet, a cutting edge new technology that is really going to be something someday, but requires a degree to understand.
So did that lady change her underwear after all?
>>288495714My friend who was a bit of a perv recommended it to me. I really enjoyed it but never finished it for some reason. Recently picked it up again after almost 20 years and will probably finish it. It's definitely better than most of the stuff coming out for the last 2 years and very easy to fap to. >Elven LiedWhy do you type like this? I hate when people do that. Can you tell me why you misspell things on purpose? What do you get from it?>Was it hyped up when it came out? IDK I watched it like 3 or 4 years after it came out when I found out anime streaming sites where a thing and I got a computer in my bedroom so I could fap by myself when watching it.
>>288495714I liked the whole hiding from the government bad guys part. Plus the music goes hard.
>>288496802NYU~
>>288495714ELFEN LIEDPEOPLE DIED
Did you receive the coronam vitae, anon?
Watched it years ago, everything was so edge yet goofy that made it for an entertaining experience. Same with byrhild in darkness or whatever it's called.
>>288495714>A lot of dog killing and smacking>But it's always presented as evil and wrongDoes the author hate dogs or love dogs?
Anon you're such a fucking weeb~Anon you need to buy a rope~
>>288495999It was too much Sometimes less is better
>>288496349I watched AMV or something in which nice pink haired girl got dismembered by evil pink haired girl and lied on the ground in disbelieve
>>288496388Wasn't the point of it that weird nice guy main have traumatized girls a place to stay?
>>288497617No I am vaccinated
>>288495714Gore + Tits
>>288497655Killing a puppy to harm the feelings of someone is profoundly evil. Even if done by a rotten child
>>288497931It was like an entire rotten Kindergarten. That her only friend was in it really hit me in the feels
>>28849772413 year old me came buckets to this specimen
Remember this?
>>288496500Nigger
>>288497609You mean “people deet”.
>>288497931>>288497990What about the smack?
>>288495714What did elfen lied about?
>>288496349This. Had to be there.
>>288495714Nudity + Retardation + Gore.Early 4chan had different tastes. >They wanted to fuck a retard that would dismember you.
>>288495714This buttraped Millennial egoes
>>288497724why buy rope when you can blast rope?
>>288500084true, blasting ropes is cheap and convenient
>>288500210The anime version of that scene was neutered so hard.
>>288495714Nah. We are just starved of gore. The opening was great thougheverbeithapsly.
This and Rozen Maiden were formative anime experiences for me back in the day
>>288498114Lucky bear
>>288498811She needs a bf with high regen.
I don't care what retards say online, i want more moe edge.Maybe something in like Mega Man Zero, which is basically just Classic's moe appeal and X's seriousness but a very balanced edge included with it.
>>288500879Gunvolt would probably be better. The fights are canonically extremely bloody with limbs flying off and gore explosions, and the two main characters actually enjoy killing morally confused children.
I personally prefer the unofficial video game adaptation of this series.
>>288495999Without Nozomi, it isn't Elfen Lied.
>>288501771Closer to Ringu, but /v/irgins aren't very bright.
>>288496388doubt you were even born when this came out.
>>288495714This shit was boring as hell desu
>>288495714The amazing OP is the only good thing about this shitfest.
>>288495714bando and mayu's friendship did irreparable damage to my tween brain in the sense that 'otherwise heartless old bastard drags himself kicking and screaming into caring about a suffering young innocent' is catnip to me.otherwise eh.
>>288506349These fucking Zoomers are so weird bruh. They all watch anime because they need to understand Neon Genesis Evangelion memes or some bullshit like most of these losers wouldn't even be watching anime if it wasn't a cool thing atm roflmao Back in the day watching anime was something you did but didn't talk about I feel like now it's the opposite.
