Made a topic about it a week or so ago. I only made it two episodes. Gratuitously violent to the point of boredom while sexualizing a mentally disabled girl. I'm not exactly an anime stan but it's certainly the worst thing I've ever tried to watch.

I liked it as a teen. No idea how well it holds up today.

Absolute garbage that any teenager would love.

It is to anime what Shadow the Hedgehog is to Sonic games.

As others have mentioned, it's something a teenager would think is omgsodeep.

This, it's got excessive nudity with a lot of gore. It's literally babies first edgy anime. I think the worst part is that the show tries to play itself as being serious and thought provoking as possible that it ends up being a comedy especially in the manga when there's literally a diaper girl.

Basically it hasn't aged well at all.

Am I wrong, btw, or is the main romance between first cousins?

I remember they were cousins, but not sure if they're first cousins. I guess another thing added to a fetish list Elfen Lied was trying to pander to.

Anime ended ok, manga went on for far too long.

I didn't mind the ending sequence that much. I feel like the violence is pretty heavily mushed towards the beginning and much more sparse as it goes. It's edgy but I don't hate the author. His/her other work Brynhildr In The Darkness was pretty good imo, mostly because it gets very Jojo on the battles

It always got a bad wrap but I really liked it, for whatever reason.

Man, did anyone else think the scene with the puppy was the most forced shit ever? It was completely absurd.

Yeah lol. The ending is the equivalent of a clickbait-y youtube video. All the rest is just regular high school romance with a pretty immorally indecisive MC.

Nothing to do but concur with the folks saying it's geared towards edgy 15 year olds.

I liked the opening theme and that was about it.
