Right Here, Right Now - Elfen Lied (Trailer)


I was writing some info about this anime for uploading it in one place and I thought that I can suggest this anime for some of you. Awesome action and just incredible story line...

amazon.com
First of all this series is most definitly not for children. There's lots of nudity and alot of vivid and gore violence.

Now for the review. What is there to say about elfen lied? It's perfect that simple. The plot is interesting but not over powering as it slowly reveals the truth. The pacing if smooth and even, even the flash back episodes aren't a bother as they are in most series. The art work and animation is flawless and smooth and fluid. The music is haunting and sorrowfully but easily stands beside my .hack/sign, Escaflowne and Cowboy Beebob soundtracks, meaning some of the best you can find anywhere. Now the characters, this were Elfen Lied really stands out. Everyone and i mean everyone from pit characters to the main characters have a reason for their actions and act according to their personality. The show has a way of betraying a character as a complete monster then giving a really good reason for them being the way they are, in a way that you can simpathize with them. For intince the main female lead, Lucy, she first appears to be a demonic murdering monster but later when you learn of her past you can't help but feel sorry for her and wish her happiness. It also has a fasinating philosophy and look at human nature behind it all.
