Fifteen years ago, I was eight. I was new to anime and this was the first I had ever sat down and watched all the way through. I am now twenty-three, and Elfin Lied remains one of my favorites of all time.
Same here, I absolutely cried at the end. This one will always have a big place in my heart and the only thing even coming close to this is steins gate imo
i watched it in 2006 and it was the only anime i cried like a baby.. my eyes still gets watery and goosebumpsgets everytime i hear it... this anime gave me emotional damage
Yuki Kaneshiro I love this song it makes me sad and the flashes of this anime crosses my mind this song holds so much despair and sadness but somewhere in that ocean of darkness I can see light
DicloniusGames Me too, I was 6 years old when I first watched Elfen Lied, today I'm 19 years old, but I still consider this anime one of the most grand thing that happened in my life, it's beatiful, Lilium makes me feel a glimpse of how it felt when I first watched on my Childhood.
Its been more than 10 years since I watched this anime. Now it's 5.30 AM and this soundtrack makes me so damn emotional. Now that's what I call a good OST.
If anything I wish I could go back in time to experience this story all over again and appreciate it the same way I did back then. It broke my heart and made so many memories and deep engravings in my soul it’s just hard to put into words
I cannot remember when exactly but know I watched it with like 14 or so, and such a piece of music for that age was like an angel talking to you. Such deep emotions it is crazy. It really was better in the past, and I want to go back so badly.
Rather than a second season, I think this anime deserves a remake. I wouldn’t change the story, but maybe some well deserved, high quality animation. I hear most manga readers prefer the anime’s take anyway
The manga is if you want more background stuff but honestly the anime was beautifully orchestrated and I could not ask for a more well developed rendition. A remastered animation would be very nice to have, would give me an opportunity to go through hell and back again with this title :')
@@Human_traain dont watch it, the only thing going for this anime is this beautiful soundtrack. They kind of repeat it over and over though that you almost always hear it in every episode, sometimes more than once it gets too repetitive. Beautiful soundtrack, but the anime story is a bit bad. Cool concept though, sadly they are too focused on slice of life rather than properly narrate about the struggle of Diclonius and its conflict / spread of the virus. Even until the ending the show doesnt bother to touch the subject about it.
i am the only getting god damn goose bumps as soon the melody starts .... Latin is such an impressive language. Lyrics: Os Iusti Meditabitur Sapientiam Et Lingua Eius Loquetur Indicium. Beatus Vir Qui Suffert Tentationem. Quoniam Cum Probatus Fuerit, Accipiet Coronam Vitae. Kyrie, Ignis Divine Eleison. O Quam Sancta, Quam Serena, Quam Benigna, Quam Amoena, O Castitas Lilium
I watched this anime when it was brand new, and to this day, this song is still one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. It is just.... gorgeous. It's haunting, beautiful, and so full of emotion.
2023 and this song still hits harder than any other anime song. The sadness/regret/pain/ is highly implanted with holy tune making this a perfect theme for Kaede/Lucy/Nyuu.

Lily of chastity Inspiration: Biblical passages in the Psalms (36:30), and the Epistle of James (1:12) from the Latin Vulgate, and the Renaissance hymn, "Ave Mundi Spes Maria," sung in Latin.
2024, just watched it for the first time like two weeks ago and I’ve had this theme stuck in my head ever since. Never experienced a musical theme that expresses the vibe of the show so accurately. Love it. 10/10
I really can't get over the fact that some people find Elfen lied to be "trying too hard to be edgy and violent". It's one of the most atmospheric pieces of art I have ever experienced, I still get haunted by the feels listening to this song. Violence, love, innocence, everything were so beautifully blended.
It is atmospheric and dark, yes. But beyond that, there is not that much of a message behind it all. And you cannot deny that this show received the attention it had because of how far it went in terms of nudity and gore. Today, however, it does not hold up well, especially since the show has not enough substance in regards to story, message or meaning.
@@caiman8401 Disagree. Elfin Lied had alot of interesting stuff going on that viewers simply refuse to engage with because the nudity and gore distracts them. I quite enjoyed the story and themes.
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom, And his language shall be spoken in judgment, Blessed is he who suffers temptation, Since he, with approval, shall receive the crown of life, Lord, fire divine, have mercy Oh how holy, How serene, How kind, How pleasant, Oh, lily of chastity! Lord, fire by divine, have mercy, Oh how sacred, Oh, How serene, How bevolent, How lovely, Oh! Lily of chastity,
Literally gives me Goosebumps, cuz first time i heard this was at Amy Rose Revenge Part 1 😳 (Theres a scene when Amy gets really mad with Sonic and takes Vectors out of his back, and starts killing Mighty, Ray and Nack)
I literally die inside while listening to this. Makes me remember about how sad Elfen Lied really was. The void I experienced after finishing this anime was so intense combined with the fact that I watched this 8 years ago makes it all the more depressing.
I can’t explain how this makes me feel. It’s such a chilling yet beautiful piece. I feel so sentimental and sad, like I’m losing someone or something I hold dear.
She killed numerous innocent people and killed Kouta's father and sister for almost no reason other than revenge against Kouta for lying... I hated her. She's by her very nature a threat to humankind.
This song is beautiful. I wished that they actually continued the series and followed the rest of the manga. The series was good, but it could have been so much better if they kept to the manga. Still great though, and either way, the soundtrack is amazing.
ALOT, like seriously, a lot of stuff is different. But in ever single way, the anime is a better experience, the music, and the content seems a lot less asspully There is so much bullshit in the manga, there is a reason they left it out, because it wasn't the art they were trying to create. The anime was more like a beautiful symphony, an experience to be had in its own.
@@xxxod elfen lied is such a beautiful anime you’re tripping the emotions from this anime are amazing if you can get past the gore it’s really one of the best animes I’ve watched
@@xxxod did you know without this anime there would be no stranger things Netflix series this anime inspired and the story is peak idk how you did not like it
@@victory5555 story lacks well developed plot, this needs more work for it to be called master piece , most of the layering was fine but it needs more constructive work for characters to show their full potential , every character is written good but they are not shown what more could be done with those characters .In conclusion its a failed attempt to make a dark psychological show with childish attempt to fill it with gore for fun.
Coming back to this song years after suddenly remembering this anime. I loved elfen lied idc what anyone says, the nostalgic feeling I get when I hear this song and the memories of watching it give me seratonin. This song is amazing
Been backtracking to all the songs of my childhood and this one will always be remembered until my final days. Thank you for those that contributed to such a wonderful piece.
I haven't seen a single episode nor have I looked up anything about Elfen Lied beyond brief synopsis. I intend to change that and I've no doubt it will be a spectacular experience. Came here to say that even without any context, this song makes me cry with it's beauty.
Just saw the anime I just can’t skip the opening, this song drove me to tears idk why, its making me think of everything I can’t explain it, but this is how I felt when I listened to this peace of art it’s so beautiful.
You suddenly appeared in front of me in this hell. The day that I would get to meet you...I always wanted to apologize to you...I only endured because of that! I kept on living.
@@gamerdragon9928 pretty sure hes talking about the manga lmao, the anime stops at like midway through the manga, just past mid way though, the anime kicks you on your knees and you want to tap out, the manga continues to kick you while your down and begging for forgiveness
@@gamerdragon9928 I think it was nyu since Nana didn't sense her but she was standing weird so something might of happened to her or Lucy while fighting.
Can u tell me why elfenlied is in every language german because Elfen lied is german in english it means Fairy song and its named because lilium means fairy but why is it in every language named elfenlied
I remember my ex-girlfriend showing me this anime and this song. Then she told me about how this song helped her during a difficult time. Now I re-listen to it every day with tears. I wanted to give her a music box that she'd wanted for a long time with this tune. But we broke up and I didn't have time to do it. I miss you very much and I hope that someday we will be together again. I love you I hope everything is going great for you
Every so often I’ll remember this theme and revisit it and it never disappoints. One of the only themes that will having sitting through some credits just to hear it. I don’t think I’ve ever skipped this theme.
Being a man, I cried my eyes out, this is just a work that managed to awaken exactly those necessary feelings....... I hate humanity, thank you for the moment of nostalgia 🙏
This song is an example of the tragedy & trauma that Lucy went through as an orphan, who became a monster with no feelings for humanity, while not having any love or kindness, from a family who didn’t bother to raise her. The ending one is an example that she did went from being an orphan, who’s been treated like a monster, to get adopted by a family who treated her as one of their own. Which made her realize that not all human beings are bad, as she finds some of them very kind & compassionate. Which doesn’t make her a monster like the actual her from the actual story.
@@lightgamer1694 because what she did to Kohta wasn’t her fault. Those monsters who murder her puppy in cold blood are the main reason all of this happened. What Lucy really needed was the chance to be love & care by those who don’t see her as a monster. She’s not a bad girl. She just had bad luck.
@@lightgamer1694 corse if it helps. What I say about her getting the love & care she deserves from a family who raised her as one of their own. That all came from a fanfic crossover with Transformers G1. It involves her & her puppy being saved by the Autobots, whose war with the Decepticons prevented her from having a grudge against humanity. With her being raised by them for 12 years, with Optimus Prime being a father throws her. While understanding that Megatron is much worse than the brats who try to kill her dog, & the people that one her alive for experiments & reproduction. What’s even cool is that she was given powers from the Matrix of Leadership that makes her a Diclonus with Cybertronian powers. If that wasn’t enough. The Decepticons get their own Lucy to rival the Autobot’s. One who does not care for humans, & was given the power of Dark Energon. Corse all this does prevent Kohta from ending up as an orphan. Nana losing both her arms & legs. Miyu being abused by her mother & that dumbass boyfriend of hers. As well Bando losing his eyes & right arm. Meaning it takes away everything that made Elfen Lied dark & depressing, by becoming more of a sci-fi/action story with romance & drama.
@@lightgamer1694 let me ask you a simple question: lets say we have a child with special power which can be a killing machine if we train her then lets throw her into world where she is tortured to make her a killing machine, and when she is not good enough she is killed brutally (other children see it) then that child, who is "trained" like that each day, without normal human interaction, without simply caring for her (she is a child after all) then she became a young adult and a mass murderer who killed thousands and now is able to kill hundreds just cause they had bad luck to stand in her way of walking through a city who is to blame for that monster actions then? is it fully her to blame? or is it her upbringing to blame?
@@DarkSeresutia let’s just say that it’s the world that’s to blame for Lucy becoming a monster. In worlds like this. Humans can be cruel & selfish to those they don’t understand. Like how special & unique Lucy is, & how gifted she would have turn out. Like a mutant from X-Men.
its been 10 years since i listened to this song. it suddenly appeared in my mind and its amazing how i still can remember the whole song, a true masterpiece.
I was 15 (now 24) when I discovered this anime. It was my first time after years watching anime again and I don’t know how I found out about this anime, but it lowkey kinda traumatized me. It was before my final exams at high school and I regret watching it then because it left such a big impact on me that I was almost afraid I’m gonna fail the exams. Luckily I passed them. However, my dad got diagnosed with cancer during this period as well and this song reminds me of the sad times. This was the most heartbreaking anime of all anime’s I have watched. I hope there will be a remake and more seasons of it in the future.
insane, i was 14 (now 23) and i feel the same way, it definitely left a very lasting impression on me, but this song is so hauntingly beautiful even years later
Years ago when i watched this as a kid (dont ask why a kid watches these stuff) i was at first terrified of everything yet unable to stop watching, i went from one episode to another just completely absorbed in the story until eventually i no longer felt fear but a deep sadness, this is a masterpiece that had me crying my eyes and heart out for hours on end truly a piece of the decades. Sigh what i would give to experience it all again for the first time
I think that seeing a second season would be a risk, but if they were able to pull it off it wouldn't be bad. the thing that makes it a little hard to do is that the ending is different than the manga.
When I was young and had just watched this series, I was also taking a Latin class, and we had an assignment to find Latin words and translate them. My teacher was so impressed that I actually found a song that was sung in Latin and translated the meaning of it. Little did she know it was an anime opening and the closed captions allowed me to gather all the Latin words, and then every other episode it would translate the lyrics in English. lol so I passed with flying colors and impressed my teacher all thanks to my love of the show and the opening. I'm glad that happened to me, as now I can sing along to this song as it lives rent free in my soul.
Just remembered watching this masterpiece of an anime… nearly 19 years since it aired and the opening still is as touching as ever. One of the few anime openings I never skipped over.
I don't think the comments on this video is ever going to stop. This pleases me. This song is so mesmerizing and filled with nostalgia, kinda hurts, kinda feels good.
I showed this to my friend who was high as kite and he told me he saw the Heaven with all its Angels and God and he was just awkwardly standing there looking into nothing XD
The one opening music that can make me feel all the emotion and tragedy in this beautifully tragic lovestory between Lucy and Kouta called Elfen Lied. ❤️😭
Elfen Lied was the best first anime series that I watched and I watched it when I was 7. Let me just tell you, everything was fucking beautiful in the anime. The visuals, the backgrounds etc. I wish they had continued the series! I was so mad at the ending and I even cried for two hours. I want to read the manga version but I can’t find it anywhere in english so hopefully one of these days they make the series in English -🖤
You were 7 years old? wow. I agree with you, Elfen Lied it's a masterpiece, everything it represents it's a work of art. this song, Lilium, makes me feel a glimpse of how it felt when I first watched the anime, I've never have seen another anime like Elfen Lied. By the way, I was 6 years when I finished the anime in 2006, I will always remember Elfen Lied like something very grand. (:

i remember once being totally baked with my friends and i put this soundtrack on and we all felt like ascending to heaven. truly an ethereal experience, but it goes without saying that even while not being baked this still hits hard
I was scrolling on Instagram and happened to find a meme using a photo of the manga, then looked in the comments to find the source. I'd say that this opening was an experience, it was powerful, I got chills all over and it was something different I haven't heard before, not because of it's different language but for an anime to use this song as an opening? I love it
Something I found while watching the anime. Hope you like it: "Kouta... You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare. Those days that I spent with you, they were the only good days I have ever known. I cherish them. All this time, I've lived in hope of telling you how sorry I am. I fought armies just to have this chance. But now... There's nothing I can say that's good enough. I wanted to forget everything, so nothing could ever come between us. Kouta I'm so sorry, for all the sadness I've caused you. I'm so sorry. I know your life's been hard. You didn't deserve that sadness. I wish I could have done something."
I watched this anime for the fist time in 2005 fresh out of school with my ex. It has been on my playlist ever since and was briefly my ringtone too. It will always hold a special place in my life. Sad and beautiful💜
This anime will never get old for me suck a masterpiece. The ending left me with so Many questions. Elfen lied is such an emotional anime that will brake your heart
This is the most beautiful and saddest song ever. I love the emotional feel it has. Elfen Lied is one of my favorite anime and manga. I love the violin playing. It's so beautiful.
This was my first anime I've watched at the age of 11 in 2018, an entire 5h youtube video... damn how time flies, I still remember most of it after 8 years
This anime was the best show I’ve ever seen period. It got me so emotional towards the end because I could relate to parts of the backstory. Death in the family, being socially excluded and hated by everyone, and the isolation that follows.
I am just watching monster, for the first time, and for some reason this song popped into my head, this was definetly an anime that still lives in my head.
"Blessed the one who suffers temptation, for after he'd been tested, he will receive the Crown of Life." And "Kyrie Eleison (Lord, pity us/ be gracious to us". Actually this song may fit for use in a funeral.
The feels, man. Watched it over 10 years ago and it always stayed in my mind. Recently rewatched it with my gf and i was fighting back tears again. And im not into anime at all, but this just hits.
If you loved the anime do you plan on reading the manga? More to the story and some things were left out in the anime such as a character, although will warn that it does have more suggestive content.
Lol sorry for Late reply, What I liked about the anime is the emotional aspect of the sad love story and as a christian I really like this song with biblisch Verses. At the moment I don’t see myself reading the manga but maybe in the future , because you Say it is Worth the expérience 🤷♂️
The first time I heared this song, it creeped me out, as I kept watching on in the season, by episode 8 I began loving it, and was no longer creeped out.
just rewatched the show after a long time, still one of my favs and this song ugh so many emotions swell within me everytime i hear it. one of those openings you never skip for all episodes
I have a not very enjoyable life i lost my family at 13. I lost my love and my all emotion with it at 17. I was about to end my life.Some hours before my suicide i heard this and after 5 year of no emotion. I cried. i was feeling emotion. I don't comit suicide. This song save my life.
Yo también estaba en las mismas hace dos años, recuerdo que lloraba todas las veces que lo escuchaba y luego me iba a dormir. Recuerdo no se porque todos mis compañeros del colegio fueron un gran apoyo es como no sé si fuera algo del más allá o que pero me saludaban diariamente, levantándome el animo. Solo acepte como nací. Aveces la vida es dura es más dura de la que nos gustaría. Pero espero que tu sigas así

2024, just watched it for the first time like two weeks ago and I’ve had this theme stuck in my head ever since. Never experienced a musical theme that expresses the vibe of the show so accurately. Love it. 10/10
I really can't get over the fact that some people find Elfen lied to be "trying too hard to be edgy and violent". It's one of the most atmospheric pieces of art I have ever experienced, I still get haunted by the feels listening to this song. Violence, love, innocence, everything were so beautifully blended.
its not even trying hard. Its pretty on the nose and unapologetic about it
People these days don't know the difference between dark and edgy. Too obsessed with being happy go lucky all the time.
Well
Edgy is not what I can call elfen lied but it does have many issues
It is atmospheric and dark, yes. But beyond that, there is not that much of a message behind it all. And you cannot deny that this show received the attention it had because of how far it went in terms of nudity and gore. Today, however, it does not hold up well, especially since the show has not enough substance in regards to story, message or meaning.
@@caiman8401 Disagree. Elfin Lied had alot of interesting stuff going on that viewers simply refuse to engage with because the nudity and gore distracts them. I quite enjoyed the story and themes.
14 years and it still makes one cry
I wish I could get back in time just to rewatch for the first time ever, was living my best life then
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom,
And his language shall be spoken in judgment,
Blessed is he who suffers temptation,
Since he, with approval, shall receive the crown of life,
Lord, fire divine, have mercy
Oh how holy,
How serene,
How kind,
How pleasant,
Oh, lily of chastity!
Lord, fire by divine, have mercy,
Oh how sacred,
Oh, How serene,
How bevolent,
How lovely,
Oh! Lily of chastity,
Do you translate it?

Thank you
This belongs in a "try to not get goosebumps challenge"
Definitely
;)
only if you want to lose guranteed.
I have goosebumps for 3:01 straight so pretty impossible
Literally gives me Goosebumps, cuz first time i heard this was at Amy Rose Revenge Part 1 😳
(Theres a scene when Amy gets really mad with Sonic and takes Vectors out of his back, and starts killing Mighty, Ray and Nack)
I literally die inside while listening to this. Makes me remember about how sad Elfen Lied really was. The void I experienced after finishing this anime was so intense combined with the fact that I watched this 8 years ago makes it all the more depressing.

Have you read the manga?
this anime had me singing in latin at 9 years old and i MISS IT
You watched Elfen lied at 9? How are you doing?
@@YupDock well might be that's her first anime
@@ryukuh I’m saying it’s a horrible show for a 9 year old to watch 😂😂 it’s terrifying

This was the only anime that ever made me cry at the end, and I love it to death to this day
4 years ago, I tried to play this on piano, and my bestfriend had chills. She don't want to hear this again. Well for me it's very soulful..
I am interested in that score (piano). Could you send it to me, please?
this music is a rare example when you have great chills when listening and after its end you simply listen again, and again for an hour long
This anime was sick and twisted, but this was an amazing piece.
I can’t explain how this makes me feel. It’s such a chilling yet beautiful piece. I feel so sentimental and sad, like I’m losing someone or something I hold dear.
I mean....That stuff did happen alot in the anime...Just saying..
This is one of the best and emotional animes ive ever watched. I wish they kept going on with it. We love you Lucy. We all love you.
Facts
She killed numerous innocent people and killed Kouta's father and sister for almost no reason other than revenge against Kouta for lying... I hated her. She's by her very nature a threat to humankind.
Indeed
Yes
Yep. 😥💯💔🤗❤️🌹
This song is beautiful. I wished that they actually continued the series and followed the rest of the manga. The series was good, but it could have been so much better if they kept to the manga.
Still great though, and either way, the soundtrack is amazing.
How did the manga differ from anime?
ALOT, like seriously, a lot of stuff is different. But in ever single way, the anime is a better experience, the music, and the content seems a lot less asspully
There is so much bullshit in the manga, there is a reason they left it out, because it wasn't the art they were trying to create. The anime was more like a beautiful symphony, an experience to be had in its own.
Half of the manga is bullshit, the anime is better and this is one of the best anime of all time for me and its saddest anime for me..
I dont know why they stopped with the anime. It was going so well. Not to mention Lucy was like the devil in girl form
@Pasir Sand well yea shes a strong non human being creature. Shes the devil basically
Elfenlied is not just an anime. It's a legendary masterpiece.

@@victory5555 its a dumb anime. the gore is there to hide the fact that the story is lacking
@@xxxod elfen lied is such a beautiful anime you’re tripping the emotions from this anime are amazing if you can get past the gore it’s really one of the best animes I’ve watched
@@xxxod did you know without this anime there would be no stranger things Netflix series this anime inspired and the story is peak idk how you did not like it
@@victory5555 story lacks well developed plot, this needs more work for it to be called master piece , most of the layering was fine but it needs more constructive work for characters to show their full potential , every character is written good but they are not shown what more could be done with those characters .In conclusion its a failed attempt to make a dark psychological show with childish attempt to fill it with gore for fun.
Coming back to this song years after suddenly remembering this anime. I loved elfen lied idc what anyone says, the nostalgic feeling I get when I hear this song and the memories of watching it give me seratonin. This song is amazing
Agree
Old but gold
Been backtracking to all the songs of my childhood and this one will always be remembered until my final days. Thank you for those that contributed to such a wonderful piece.
I appreciate it
and your English still bad
14 years... and I'm here again
It's been over a decade, but I still remember the lyrics perfectly.
❤
Same, gives me the same vibes it gave me when i first listened to it. Gives me goosebumps every time.
I haven't seen a single episode nor have I looked up anything about Elfen Lied beyond brief synopsis. I intend to change that and I've no doubt it will be a spectacular experience.
Came here to say that even without any context, this song makes me cry with it's beauty.
Did you?
Just saw the anime I just can’t skip the opening, this song drove me to tears idk why, its making me think of everything I can’t explain it, but this is how I felt when I listened to this peace of art it’s so beautiful.
Yeah true
Lady maria pfp
They are fragments of the bible, for me that's the beautiful thing along with Latin.
You suddenly appeared in front of me in this hell. The day that I would get to meet you...I always wanted to apologize to you...I only endured because of that! I kept on living.
Last words of Elfen I think
@@SS-pu5jn did you see the last episode? She was at their front door.
@@gamerdragon9928 pretty sure hes talking about the manga lmao, the anime stops at like midway through the manga, just past mid way though, the anime kicks you on your knees and you want to tap out, the manga continues to kick you while your down and begging for forgiveness
@@gamerdragon9928 I think it was nyu since Nana didn't sense her but she was standing weird so something might of happened to her or Lucy while fighting.

Elfen Lied always in my heart and in my mind always still 2020
Can u tell me why elfenlied is in every language german because Elfen lied is german in english it means Fairy song and its named because lilium means fairy but why is it in every language named elfenlied
@@nils20l14 bit of a stretch but maybe it's because the original poem elfenlied doesn't really make sense in any language other than german?
I remember my ex-girlfriend showing me this anime and this song. Then she told me about how this song helped her during a difficult time. Now I re-listen to it every day with tears. I wanted to give her a music box that she'd wanted for a long time with this tune. But we broke up and I didn't have time to do it. I miss you very much and I hope that someday we will be together again. I love you
I hope everything is going great for you
anyone 2024...

Everyone
Sure
I'm here 💜
Every so often I’ll remember this theme and revisit it and it never disappoints. One of the only themes that will having sitting through some credits just to hear it. I don’t think I’ve ever skipped this theme.
Being a man, I cried my eyes out, this is just a work that managed to awaken exactly those necessary feelings....... I hate humanity, thank you for the moment of nostalgia 🙏
Yeah
"You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare." ~Lucy
I discovered this anime recently and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever watched in my entire life
Same even tho it so old
And now im left fiending for something even just a little similar...
I watched it 11 years ago. And still come back to Lilium. Its just masterpiece
This song is an example of the tragedy & trauma that Lucy went through as an orphan, who became a monster with no feelings for humanity, while not having any love or kindness, from a family who didn’t bother to raise her.
The ending one is an example that she did went from being an orphan, who’s been treated like a monster, to get adopted by a family who treated her as one of their own. Which made her realize that not all human beings are bad, as she finds some of them very kind & compassionate. Which doesn’t make her a monster like the actual her from the actual story.
How does a series that has a character kill the family of a another main character and still have us feel bad for her
@@lightgamer1694 because what she did to Kohta wasn’t her fault. Those monsters who murder her puppy in cold blood are the main reason all of this happened. What Lucy really needed was the chance to be love & care by those who don’t see her as a monster. She’s not a bad girl. She just had bad luck.
@@lightgamer1694 corse if it helps. What I say about her getting the love & care she deserves from a family who raised her as one of their own. That all came from a fanfic crossover with Transformers G1. It involves her & her puppy being saved by the Autobots, whose war with the Decepticons prevented her from having a grudge against humanity. With her being raised by them for 12 years, with Optimus Prime being a father throws her. While understanding that Megatron is much worse than the brats who try to kill her dog, & the people that one her alive for experiments & reproduction. What’s even cool is that she was given powers from the Matrix of Leadership that makes her a Diclonus with Cybertronian powers. If that wasn’t enough. The Decepticons get their own Lucy to rival the Autobot’s. One who does not care for humans, & was given the power of Dark Energon. Corse all this does prevent Kohta from ending up as an orphan. Nana losing both her arms & legs. Miyu being abused by her mother & that dumbass boyfriend of hers. As well Bando losing his eyes & right arm. Meaning it takes away everything that made Elfen Lied dark & depressing, by becoming more of a sci-fi/action story with romance & drama.
@@lightgamer1694 let me ask you a simple question: lets say we have a child with special power which can be a killing machine if we train her
then lets throw her into world where she is tortured to make her a killing machine, and when she is not good enough she is killed brutally (other children see it)
then that child, who is "trained" like that each day, without normal human interaction, without simply caring for her (she is a child after all) then she became a young adult and a mass murderer who killed thousands and now is able to kill hundreds just cause they had bad luck to stand in her way of walking through a city
who is to blame for that monster actions then?
is it fully her to blame?
or is it her upbringing to blame?
@@DarkSeresutia let’s just say that it’s the world that’s to blame for Lucy becoming a monster. In worlds like this. Humans can be cruel & selfish to those they don’t understand. Like how special & unique Lucy is, & how gifted she would have turn out. Like a mutant from X-Men.
its been 10 years since i listened to this song. it suddenly appeared in my mind and its amazing how i still can remember the whole song, a true masterpiece.
I was 15 (now 24) when I discovered this anime. It was my first time after years watching anime again and I don’t know how I found out about this anime, but it lowkey kinda traumatized me. It was before my final exams at high school and I regret watching it then because it left such a big impact on me that I was almost afraid I’m gonna fail the exams. Luckily I passed them. However, my dad got diagnosed with cancer during this period as well and this song reminds me of the sad times. This was the most heartbreaking anime of all anime’s I have watched. I hope there will be a remake and more seasons of it in the future.
insane, i was 14 (now 23) and i feel the same way, it definitely left a very lasting impression on me, but this song is so hauntingly beautiful even years later
Me on my way to tell the Ikea manager that the display toilets are at full capacity.
wth🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Years ago when i watched this as a kid (dont ask why a kid watches these stuff) i was at first terrified of everything yet unable to stop watching, i went from one episode to another just completely absorbed in the story until eventually i no longer felt fear but a deep sadness, this is a masterpiece that had me crying my eyes and heart out for hours on end truly a piece of the decades. Sigh what i would give to experience it all again for the first time
Where can u watch it I wanna watch it
I would love to see a remake or 2nd season of this anime. short lived, but yet so beautiful.
This season is plenty enough, they will just ruin this legacy.
I agree
@@kejerith agree
@@kejerith thats also the reason why gravity falls din't o two season it would ruin the legacy
I think that seeing a second season would be a risk, but if they were able to pull it off it wouldn't be bad. the thing that makes it a little hard to do is that the ending is different than the manga.
When I was young and had just watched this series, I was also taking a Latin class, and we had an assignment to find Latin words and translate them. My teacher was so impressed that I actually found a song that was sung in Latin and translated the meaning of it. Little did she know it was an anime opening and the closed captions allowed me to gather all the Latin words, and then every other episode it would translate the lyrics in English. lol so I passed with flying colors and impressed my teacher all thanks to my love of the show and the opening. I'm glad that happened to me, as now I can sing along to this song as it lives rent free in my soul.
One of the first anime's I ever watched. Ah the nostalgia. This ost still gives me goosebumps.
Such a deeply profound and thought evoking song. The feeling is indeed undescribable. Truly grandiose.
The emptiness of her eyes made this song unique
Just remembered watching this masterpiece of an anime… nearly 19 years since it aired and the opening still is as touching as ever. One of the few anime openings I never skipped over.
really like the tone of the voice
I don't think the comments on this video is ever going to stop. This pleases me. This song is so mesmerizing and filled with nostalgia, kinda hurts, kinda feels good.
I showed this to my friend who was high as kite and he told me he saw the Heaven with all its Angels and God and he was just awkwardly standing there looking into nothing XD
@@NurseryDBDnahhh bro finna ascend to heaven while listening to this 💀💀💀
@@angellybean he later called it holo-thing, i guess he ment holy?
The one opening music that can make me feel all the emotion and tragedy in this beautifully tragic lovestory between Lucy and Kouta called Elfen Lied. ❤️😭
Bro my name is saad irl my fav character is sasuke and look age ur name huhhhhh
да уж,сколько времени прошло,а эмоции при просмотре я еще помню...

Мне больше манга нравится, я не люблю истории, где зло не побеждено, но жертвы уже есть...
Да кринж говно было достаточно, но саундтрек хорош
я тоже
watched this as a kid in 2008. Song still randomly pops into my head from time to time
After all this years?
Always
Elfen Lied was the best first anime series that I watched and I watched it when I was 7.
Let me just tell you, everything was fucking beautiful in the anime. The visuals, the backgrounds etc.
I wish they had continued the series! I was so mad at the ending and I even cried for two hours.
I want to read the manga version but I can’t find it anywhere in english so hopefully one of these days they make the series in English
-🖤
You were 7 years old? wow.
I agree with you, Elfen Lied it's a masterpiece, everything it represents it's a work of art.
this song, Lilium, makes me feel a glimpse of how it felt when I first watched the anime, I've never have seen another anime like Elfen Lied.
By the way, I was 6 years when I finished the anime in 2006, I will always remember Elfen Lied like something very grand. (:

In mangarock or mangakakalot you will find the entire manga.
I was 5 when i watched this anime even if it wasnt censored i dont care i liked it because it was just art
i remember once being totally baked with my friends and i put this soundtrack on and we all felt like ascending to heaven. truly an ethereal experience, but it goes without saying that even while not being baked this still hits hard
this anime for me was difficult to watch but the dark and gloomy plot makes the viewer stay hooked what else can I say a damn masterpiece
I love this song so much
This is pristine. Ive watched so much anime but to remember this so well op this many years later is a testament to how great this is
I was scrolling on Instagram and happened to find a meme using a photo of the manga, then looked in the comments to find the source. I'd say that this opening was an experience, it was powerful, I got chills all over and it was something different I haven't heard before, not because of it's different language but for an anime to use this song as an opening? I love it
Just as powerful as Lucy who loved seeing humans without limbs and dying from blood loss.
Something I found while watching the anime. Hope you like it:
"Kouta... You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare. Those days that I spent with you, they were the only good days I have ever known. I cherish them. All this time, I've lived in hope of telling you how sorry I am. I fought armies just to have this chance. But now... There's nothing I can say that's good enough.
I wanted to forget everything, so nothing could ever come between us. Kouta I'm so sorry, for all the sadness I've caused you. I'm so sorry. I know your life's been hard. You didn't deserve that sadness. I wish I could have done something."
She's still a murderous psycho
You revived dead memories nigga damn
I'm not crying you are.
Fuck that’s sad. All she wanted was to be loved. And the world rejected her. Sad :(
@@mmmawia And, she actually has remorse for the stuff she's done too. Unlike Yuno.
Song still brings tears to my eyes years later.
I would never skip the intro while watching this anime, its like a religious experience
I watched this anime for the fist time in 2005 fresh out of school with my ex. It has been on my playlist ever since and was briefly my ringtone too. It will always hold a special place in my life. Sad and beautiful💜
How is it like 9 years later from when i stumbled upon this anime and binged it, i still find myself crying
This anime will never get old for me suck a masterpiece. The ending left me with so Many questions. Elfen lied is such an emotional anime that will brake your heart
I’m in bed, 24º AC going and I lost count of how many shivers I got listening to this. It’s been 16 years
This is the most beautiful and saddest song ever. I love the emotional feel it has. Elfen Lied is one of my favorite anime and manga. I love the violin playing. It's so beautiful.
The soundtrack and opening visuals are a masterpiece.
Actually, there are many great things in this anime you won't find in anime anywhere now.
Ik im late dam this song hits me every single time :'(
its never too late to appreciate this song
agreed😭
This was my first anime I've watched at the age of 11 in 2018, an entire 5h youtube video... damn how time flies, I still remember most of it after 8 years
It was crazy good, no wonder you can't forget anything about it.
Listening to this after finishing the anime , I really love how much this music is Holy !
This anime was the best show I’ve ever seen period. It got me so emotional towards the end because I could relate to parts of the backstory. Death in the family, being socially excluded and hated by everyone, and the isolation that follows.

согласен
I am just watching monster, for the first time, and for some reason this song popped into my head, this was definetly an anime that still lives in my head.
This was a true masterpiece
The best soundtrack ever! I love to listen to this walking alone.
If I die someday, (plz god forbid that I die young) I want this song to be in my funeral Just sayin
agreed
Same it just soothes me and it's so FABULOUS
why not fake love
understandable, since this song was meant as an apology for living a sinful life, trust me.
"Blessed the one who suffers temptation, for after he'd been tested, he will receive the Crown of Life." And "Kyrie Eleison (Lord, pity us/ be gracious to us".
Actually this song may fit for use in a funeral.
What an anime. Love, terror and pain resolved. We can't know joy without pain. Ever.
The feels, man.
Watched it over 10 years ago and it always stayed in my mind. Recently rewatched it with my gf and i was fighting back tears again. And im not into anime at all, but this just hits.
Just finished today, absolutely Loved it
„Blessed be the man who resists temptation“
If you loved the anime do you plan on reading the manga? More to the story and some things were left out in the anime such as a character, although will warn that it does have more suggestive content.
i highly recommend you to read the manga and
how was the anime in your opinion?
Lol sorry for Late reply,
What I liked about the anime is the emotional aspect of the sad love story and as a christian I really like this song with biblisch Verses. At the moment I don’t see myself reading the manga but maybe in the future , because you Say it is Worth the expérience 🤷♂️
The first time I heared this song, it creeped me out, as I kept watching on in the season, by episode 8 I began loving it, and was no longer creeped out.
I loved ever since episode 1. However I think it kinda declined at episode 8, but it was still good.
just rewatched the show after a long time, still one of my favs and this song ugh so many emotions swell within me everytime i hear it. one of those openings you never skip for all episodes
I have a not very enjoyable life i lost my family at 13. I lost my love and my all emotion with it at 17. I was about to end my life.Some hours before my suicide i heard this and after 5 year of no emotion. I cried. i was feeling emotion. I don't comit suicide. This song save my life.
Sry to hear that.
Yo también estaba en las mismas hace dos años, recuerdo que lloraba todas las veces que lo escuchaba y luego me iba a dormir. Recuerdo no se porque todos mis compañeros del colegio fueron un gran apoyo es como no sé si fuera algo del más allá o que pero me saludaban diariamente, levantándome el animo. Solo acepte como nací. Aveces la vida es dura es más dura de la que nos gustaría. Pero espero que tu sigas así
