Re: Elfen Lied
I actually thought it was pretty underwhelming. The concept was good and it had a lot of promise, and the OP is just beautiful. I loved the references to Klimt's work and Lilium is an incredibly beautiful song.
But I ultimately felt that it fell short. If it were a longer series, it probably would have been able to become better than it was; then it could give every issue and theme the attention it needs. And the humans were often either unrealistically mean or unrealistically gullible. Some moments that were supposed to be dramatic just came off ridiculous, such as the scene where the professor reveals that he too is a Diclonious.
The final episode was actually very good, though. And I am very fond of the Diclonious and the Director. Lucy especially. Intelligent, strong and had a lot of issues to work out.
