Kouta and his cousin find her naked on the beach, and from there things get a bit out of hand. The faces are too circular, and the chin-cheek contour is very vague. Given the nature of the show, this might have been unavoidable.OverallI hate harem animes with almost no exception. All of the ingredients are there: the faceless main character, the ample supply of unnecessary female characters, the spacious former hotel… anyone who says otherwise is simply delusional. Or the short version: "Mess with a Diclonius, and you die." The majority of the anime-watching community seem to enjoy brainless, ditzy, high-pitched and disproportionate girls emasculating an already girly protagonist, but the entire idea has never really appealed to me. I don't remember hearing anything about this before. The story is quite good and flows well. It's not something I "listened" to during the show.
AnimationThe animation of Elfen Lied seemed good most of the time, but faltered at others. One of these creatures escapes from this facility and loses her memory in the process. The young blonde took out Ninja Storm 4, which he bootlegged, and plugged it into his system to play. This organization from which Nyuu escaped will do anything in its power to get her back, even if it means using other evolved humans.
The visuals are alright, but nothing above that. Alright, sign me up... Quote; Share this post. Bestselling how-to-draw author Christopher Hart helps them reach this goal by providing insight into the six most popular anime types: schoolgirls, schoolboys, preteens, vengeful bad guys, humorous personalities, and fantasy figures. SoundThe audio was probably the highlight of the series, and reminded me a great deal of Tsukihime. The detail level is medium and comparable to the later mid-nineties anime shows. In general, the colors used were very vibrant and rich.
In other words, there isn’t anything that we haven’t seen before, but the elements are mixed in such a way to hold one’s attention well. There is lots of nakedness in this show, both upper-body nakedness and full body nakedness. This also helps to create sympathy and empathy, something they did quite well. Don't get me wrong; I think that most of them are very good.
It's not overused, but rather used in passages where it's very fitting. If you’re worried about others accusing you of having “bad taste” in anime, then by all means skip this show. Besides, look at the ships, they're too stubby to have had his involvement in this version.I'll probably regret that position, but this looks GREAT.Completely not important but I'm sort of surprised that they still show the wreck of the original Yamato intact.
Makes me glad I got this.I managed to attend the launch Ceremony for the new Yamato 2199 series last weekend - a full report will hopefully be up over at Starblazers.com in April.They actually showed us episode 1 in its entirity and damn I was impressed.The latest trailer for the series can be found here:I'm very impressed by the amount of detail they're poured into the mechanical and character redesigns here. How many animes have you seen that involved animal torture? Could be quite a wait if the film is out in April. The background music is just "there". Naruto went to the kitchen while Bolt went into his room. I agree that the violence helped the series be more enjoyable, hence the high score of 8... but if you are looking for something really deep and complex, without being flaunty, I don't think this is for you. The thing is that Kouta's cousin has got a thing for him, and Nyuu is a very well endowed little girl who also happens to lack any form of common sense. Which resulted in me spending my afternoon watching the last 10 episodes in one go. That's why I hope they continue with more models from this series! Nyuu, when in evil mode, looks great with a more mature look and all adult characters in general also look mature. Isn't the real ship in pieces? )And yes, everything after the Comet Empire stuff has been a letdown (to varyious degrees) so hopefully this will bring back the original magicThat, and if it were in pieces it wouldn't make much of a finished ship (great excuse to redisgn it though, HERESY! Really nasty stuff, and really, really graphic. Trust me, these people are NOT exaggerating; of the numerous animes that I’ve seen, this one takes the prize for most gore. Hoping it'll still be sometime in 2012.Yeah, just read about the TV series thing. I don’t think so myself. In fact, just about every part of the various fight scenes are almost flawless: fluid, quick, and exhilarating. If it hadn't been for the extreme almost laughable violence, this would have fallen flat on its ass from the thin plot, beautiful but still generic animation, and somewhat weak characters. Unable to speak or function as a normal human being, she is named Nyu by the duo, and taken into their home in an effort to save her. This isn’t just something I’d recommend; I think Elfen Lied is one of the best shows of 2004. The flashbacks give further insight into why some of the characters act like they do. What makes this show excellent are not the harem elements; when all is said and done, the ecchi part of the show merely provides a basic skeleton for the creators to build upon. All of the Diclonius girls had bright pink hair (which is never really explained), while everyone else tended to have normal colors. My real gripe with the visuals is the character designs. I bring this up because, as much as I am loathe to admit it, Elfen Lied is undeniably a harem anime. Now, the problem here is that there are people who don't think that these evolved humans, or "diclonius" as they are called, should roam free. Here's some cute anime you can stream online. Macross! There are a few minor twists and the obligatory "people can't remember things from their past that were really damn important, which come back later in the series", but as a whole, the plot was definitely back burner for the violence and nudity (and I don't think anyone could argue with me on that). CharactersThere was a decent amount of character development to speak of, but I don't necessarily think I was happy with a lot of it, hence the somewhat lower score. They almost reminded me of Kanon, with the huge dating-sim eyes and the bright colors. but it didn't.
