Well just finished watching Elfen Lied on Netflix, I think it was somewhat okay, nothing spectacular (other than gore factor). The anime's adaptation ending was too much of a cliffhanger though...
I don't get how some find it tear-jerking; the anime's ending seemed more bittersweet than a tear-jerker. Lucy ended up fighting Mariko, Kurama's biological daughter and lost but survived though she lost one of her horns. Kurama shows to spend some time Mariko before they died in each others' arms. Later Lucy and Kouta spend last touchy moment together before Lucy sacrifices herself to fight off the remaining soldiers and lost her other horn. I'm guessing a day or so past since Lucy gave herself to save Kouta and Nana was able to live with Kouta and the others. Apparently someone shows up at the door, but I can guess it was Lucy since Wanta, Mayu's dog, recongized her. I'm gonna assume Lucy "died" but Nyu still lives on since that seems like a likely case.
I remember back when I was reading scanlations of manga, Lucy lost her horns at some point in the story but they grew back later. The anime also left the implications of the guy running the facility Lucy escaped from wanting to usher in "a new world" business for dicloni because revealed himself as one too and the manga might of carried on with that but it's been a long time since I read it I'll have to restart reading it from the beginning again.
I heard Lynn Okamoto made a spiritual successor of sorts to Elfen Lied, I might check it out. There's still some Z.O.E Dolores, i and Smile Precure! I gotta catch up on, among other series...
