I don't know if I should consider this pure kino or straight schlock. The more serious moments are absolutely hilarious but the "comedy' scenes are just terrible. I liked the premise though as it's pretty interesting but the anime doesn't actually explain how diclonius came about. Is the manga worth reading?
Elfen Lied
Ryan Hernandez
Asher Moore
The is good. Worth reading.
Hudson Cook
Manga is much better
Ending is absolutely surreal if you start the op on 103 when she starts singing
I'm a total faggot for a tragic romance
Jason Campbell
The manga explains things far better, goes on far beyond where the anime ended, focuses more on ridiculous serious moments, and has best girl in it. In other words, go for it.
Nathaniel Walker
Welp that's all I need, now I have something to do when customers are late to appointments. Might as well ask too, how was the sub? I watched the dub and the voice acting was all over the place but certain moments were pretty amazing.
>slaps the klutz
>"Stupid bitch"
>"He's perfect"
Being a fan of B movies that scene and the delivery tickled me, I don't think it would have been as good in the original though.
Isaiah Wood
it was good for one thing and that's the opening
Logan Rogers
An op that good should be illegal
When I was a kid, it was the only thing that kept me watching it because I could grasp the deeper shit
Ending music always ruins all tension tho wtf is that soft rock bullshit
Samuel Sullivan
Lucy and Bandou's voices are perfect (Sanae Kobayashi and Jouji Nakata), but the rest of the cast ranges from decent to complete miscasts (Kouta's voice acting is mediocre, and Mamiko Noto is pretty much the polar opposite of how Yuka should sound).
Christian Rivera
Yeah, the ending really did not fit with the show one bit. No idea how they figured out how to make such a perfect OP.
Xavier Evans
Anime also has best girl in it. It also cuts out the diaper pissing fetish character, which is also a plus.
Caleb Watson
>cutting the reason for the title
>plus
Nice quad amputee fetish character you got there.
Jacob Foster
>all diclonius are sterile
>only able to create more by ghost fisting a human male
What the fuck is the end game? If you need humans to reproduce you shouldn't want to kill them all.
Jonathan Harris
No, the queen basically overwrites male dna with drone dna like she's the queen bee and the drone dicloni that are made by overwriting others dna function only as human killers to make room for the queen dicloni to reproduce
The queen makes pure blooded dicloni for the purpose of creating the next human race, while the dna overwrite dicloni are a lower class soldier breed that only serve to make space
The drone class have innate desires to viscously murder humans despite the exceptions that somehow suppress that instinct like Nana
The queen has more of a desire to reproduce which explains why nyu tries to bang out everyone but Lucy instead wasn't able to get to reproductive maturity before abuse and neglect turned her into a psychopath
She rationalizes it as her own instinct to kill humans but that's just her trying to protect herself
In the end she comes to terms with her sins
Evan Allen
So who was the first male dike then?
Grayson Long
Nana
>loves her papa, would literally die for him
>fights Lucy when she knows she can't win, almost wins
>tries to integrate herself into a world that she doesn't understand, succeeds
Nozomi
>scared of her papa, pees her diaper
>scared of exams, pees her diaper
>tries to integrate herself into the household, pees her diaper
Your waifu is a one dimensional piss fetish machine, the anime replaced her with a box and literally nobody noticed.
John Brooks
I dont like my anime girls killing innocent people for fun so no thanks
Henry Kelly
To be fair, Nyuu has a piss fetish moment in the anime, but I can't remember if it was in the manga, so it's not like they entirely cut it out.
The manga may have had an actual ending, but god damn if it didn't take way too long to meander its way to it.
Parker Sullivan
>literally the reason for the title of the series
>one of the major reasons behind Nyuu learning how to talk
>is the first main character who Lucy encountered, even before Kouta
>gives Yuka a reason for existing beyond just being Kouta's jealous love interest
>tries to make her father happy despite how awful and abusive he is, and eventually works up the courage to stand up to him
>tries to make up for peeing her diapers by focusing on studies, becomes one of the brightest students in Japan
>aims to get into a music school despite having to hide it from her father, succeeds
>is seen as a dear friend despite the first impression she made, unlike Nana who Kouta disliked at first
Nana is second best girl, but it's a fact that she's a gigantic jobber who constantly loses and has to be bailed out by Bandou or Lucy. The sentence "Who is Elfen, and why did he lie?" alone makes it obvious why the anime went full retard by not including Nozomi and Elfenlied. Remember, the anime is so bad it was as hated as Naruto on Yas Forums, while the manga ended up making people warm up to the series.
Thomas Clark
You say it as if Nana isn't a guro fetish machine. Nana's Everyday Life being what most people know her from says it all.
Adam Perry
I can see why you think she's just fetish bait but she's got legit issues
Liam Morris
Guro is a far superior and complex fetish compared to peepeefags.
Anthony Myers
Does it have any rape? Asking for a friend.
Kayden Gomez
Almost
Eli Rodriguez
I want Lucy to give me a handjob and catch my cum then eat it with her vectors.
Nicholas Turner
Wyatt Jones
I want Lucy to pin me down with her vectors and milk me for my potent cummies until she gets pregnant again and again until humankind is completely replaced by our spawn
Justin Fisher
She wouldn't pick you.
Xavier Lopez
Not with that fuckin attitude
Levi Brown
She would fuck me, just not you.
Noah Cooper
As usual, the manga is superior.
Caleb Rivera
Is there a single example where that's not the case?
Jose Wilson
Multispecies reviewers?
Adrian Lopez
it's somewhere in between desu
Ethan Scott
By the way, Okamoto's latest manga also sells hotly. Anime when?
Ethan Lee
And when we talk about it. Latest chapter dump!
