Title: Elfen Lied
Post by: Lilwolf on June 24, 2009, 07:08:26 AM
Didn't see this one up there, so yeah. Posting it >0<

Well, for all those that think its mostly sex because they've seen screens of naked chicks in the same instance as blood and gore; No. They don't mix the two.

Sure, there's random sex in there but >.> The furthest it goes is kissing.
Unless your easily turned off by any mention of incest. >>

Other then that, this series kinda reminded me a bit of Chobits but with that darker twist. The main character, Lucy/Nyu, acts a lot like Chii where she's really childish and such...Well, really it's Nyu but I post Lucy/Nyu because they're the same person, just split personalities.

So yeah. Thoughts on the series? Personally, I really liked it. The ending in particular made me stop and think for a few minutes XD

Haven't read the manga yet, though.

But if I don't get to 20,000 posts by the end of next week I'll die! D: </sarcasm>

I hate this show, along with Higurashi, NGE and FLCL.

The only thing this show has going for it, is the gore. Which is nothing special, because Hellsing Ultimate is even [tornado fang]ing better at it.

Overall, shitsux.

[...] incest [...]
Japan doesn't have the taboo the Western World has that marrying your cousins is incestuous. In fact, it's rather part of their culture.

It is a sad and beautiful anime, but I like it how it is, even with the gore scenes.

That explains a HELL of a lot.

I've been trying to figure that out >.> I don't know so much about current Japanese culture and so forth. Tradition's one thing but yeah. I'm also a native of the US and this country tends to be blind to everyone else >.> Oh well...that's life. Live, learn, and move to England. XD

Y'see, there can't be an initial movement of such a scale..You'd need to learn the language and blach. Besides, can't acclimate too well to a country like Japan that's so VASTLY different then your current one without a hopes of gaining their culture first...

...that was unnecessarily complicated. 8)

Japanese itself, the spoken language, is easy. Shitstorm starts when it's time to read and write it.




As someone who's taken a year and a half of dedicated classes to learn the language, I can attest to that.




On a more random note, [tornado fang] Nasu Kinoko for inventing a completely new strain of the language by himself.

LOL I see...And understand, too. Being the kanji is so differant from our alphabet and has so many characters and such, it would make it a lot harder. I'm more and more tempted each day to put it on a list of what to study over the summer...>.> But uh. I hardly wanna do that. Go figure...maybe next year. lol...
