    This anime world is so vast. I love it.

    For me, Elfen Lied is both enjoyable with lighter moments, and incredibly dark because it depicts the cruelty of children and those who can act without consequence all too well. For me, it's a permanent keeper (like Ergo Proxy), but not one I watch often.

      Ergo Proxy was pretty good until the forced romance came into play and the very end. They really screwed that up. Elfen Lied suffers from the same problems. They both have unbearable main characters but incredibly strong and well liked heroine's. Just get ride of the male stand ins and you'd have a solid series.

    Cabbetsu... Man I have watched them, woe of me XD. Another is a decent one and Mori no Hako, there are others Nougami Neuro is more Shonen Like but still with drama, and Mujio is Shonen too but has some dark parts, But yeah in the old days anime was Darker than Black XD.
