This anime has the most feels I have ever had in an anime. It actually has an amazing story to it and without spoiling anything I can promise the story alone is worth it. Definitely subbing to see more. Keep in mind, all the nudity in it is to represent the innocence and the lack of protection that character has. By no means meant to be sexual other than the slight fan service with Lucy. First anime I ever bought on DvD
just to add to to this point: "nudity" vs "porn/hentai" vs "fanservice/ecchiness/lewdness": "nudity" (this includes sex scenes, also, ”nudity" is not just simply exposed body or body parts) is when its being done for an actual literary purpose/reason ("nudity" conveys many things, some examples: innocence/purity, vulnerability/weakness/humanity/humility, power/confidence/pride/proudness/arrogance, pain/abandonment/hurt/sadness, liberation/freedom, primal/animalistic/non-civilized/wild/raw, etc etc etc) porn/hentai is simply for your own self-auto sexual enjoyment, there's no literary value/purpose/meaning in it or behind it fanservice/ecchiness/lewdness, while it can be for comedy or even just self enjoyment, is playful/light "naughtiness", so it lies between nudity and porn, and unlike american version in their tv shows and movies (and cartoons too), which is much more rape-y/degrading/eye-candy/sex-objectifying of its female characters/actresses and their scenes, while, with japanese anime/manga fanservice/ecchiness, the female character are 99% of the time, doing it on their own (often with a passive or uninterested or often chivalrous male characters, though some are horn dogs too), there's never any "forced/rape" feel to any of the fanservice/ecchiness by the male characters and/or the female characters are always enjoying it themselves (having playful fun, they're never in distress about it)
@@Daesma999 I think that's also part of the reason. Lucy is pure in the sense that her powers are raw and out of this world. Nudity is beside the point here as the concept of shame is unknown to her.
Would you belive me if I said that this anime was my number one anime for well over a decade? But also that it has only recently (as in 2 or 3 years ago) been surpassed by Made in Abyss?
Lucy's "nyu" persona (her "new born" persona) is directly from being sniped in the head, but she will use it as a defense mechanism, to escape from trauma and etc bad things that she doesn't want to face or deal with...
Lucy (as "nyu" persona) saw that Kouta was pained/hurt from the sea shell thingy, so she broke it, to break the pain/hurt he was feeling, to help/protect him... innocent new born good-hearted nyu...
Fun fact! The guy they hired to do the character designs is famous for his cute characters, the intent seeming to be to create an uncomfortable juxtaposition between the cute-looking characters and the sadistic violence. Possibly a commentary on shallow anime that just slap together a show with cute characters, then retire to their money bin?
Also it IS possible to hit her with those automatic weapons, but that would require her to lose focus or become distracted. So head on with her aware no chance they would hit with her incredible speed.
Got the sexy special edition steel book for £15 yeah best find my boyfriend picked it up and showed me don't think he had ever seen it before i sqeeld in his face and smiled
Well first of all I would feel sad for her except for the fact that her actions go against her own victim look because she's a killer through and through
Imo, best start to any anime ever.

Thank you for that! The next reaction is coming out soon. Definitely has us hooked so far 🤯

porn/hentai is simply for your own self-auto sexual enjoyment, there's no literary value/purpose/meaning in it or behind it
fanservice/ecchiness/lewdness, while it can be for comedy or even just self enjoyment, is playful/light "naughtiness", so it lies between nudity and porn, and unlike american version in their tv shows and movies (and cartoons too), which is much more rape-y/degrading/eye-candy/sex-objectifying of its female characters/actresses and their scenes, while, with japanese anime/manga fanservice/ecchiness, the female character are 99% of the time, doing it on their own (often with a passive or uninterested or often chivalrous male characters, though some are horn dogs too), there's never any "forced/rape" feel to any of the fanservice/ecchiness by the male characters and/or the female characters are always enjoying it themselves (having playful fun, they're never in distress about it)
I always thought the fact they were naked all the time as they way they treated them. "They are monsters", right? Why do they need proper care?

Damn, the first "elfen lied" the dude said was actually pronounced correctly, well done.

fun fact: according to the duffer brothers, stranger things is partially based on elfen lied. eleven is basically lucy, esp in season 1.
This anime is legend...

My first anime XD
If your homies get torn to pieces, don’t stick around to see if another clip is gonna do the trick ☠️☠️☠️
Exactly what we were feeling 🙄😂😂
The question is, why do they even use guns against creatures with telekinesis? They should use gas, sound weapon or something like that.
finally another reaction. I think this anime needs more recognition
I love this anime.
This anime was a roller coaster ride of emotions 😭
Not for faint of heart.
