If you like Elfen Lied and want more pick up the manga. It goes beyond the anime and really adds to it

Best ending ever? Ehhhhh....

Gordo, are you refering to the end of the series, or are you counting the OAV as the ending?

I liked this series... but had a hard time sitting through the violent abuse towards little schoolgirls... even though most of the abuse is coming from other little school girls too.
Seeing cute girls getting their arms and legs pulled off their bodies was difficult for me to watch. It was good though.

lol i may have been on a hype when i said that it was the best ending ever but it was really good and just the series i really enjoyed the way it ended
(we both know the best ending of all time goes to heroic age or chrome shelled regios(personal oppinion so its not wrong))

I loved Elfen lied; however, I hated the cliffhanger ending. It was just as bad in the manga too. I was like nooooooo...

did she dye, did she live,
tell me dammit!!!
Although I suppose it might have been implied

that she lived, I still would have liked a little visual conformation, not to mention the fact that wouldn't they come after her if she did live?

Oh yeah, the ending was great. I mean, I really liked how they just kind of abrubtly ended. With all the loose ends just hanging there (Why does that guy have horns?) and all of that garbage. Great show, but it was too short resulting in an extremely open ended ending with no closure so it resulted in me feeling a profound empty feeling and a sense of confusion and disappointment with no real way to conclude this (Yeah, I know the Manga was actually explained a lot of stuff so whatever.) I had to watch FLCL to cheer me up. Whatever, not as bad as The Big O though.

if you liked it then you should really read the manga, it's many time more amazing

i think in the manga it was a little more explicit of what happened

she did melt into goo and all


as for the anime its my personal belief that
( Click to show/hide )
she lived because the silhouette is most obviously her in the first place, but also the broken clock she was working on throughout the anime is fixed and starts chiming in at that point


anyways, i think the manga and anime are equally good ~the anime shows off A LOT more symbolism, but the manga explains the backstory so much more (think like an extra 5 or so volumes of story which could basically be another season of anime).

theres no season 2 and there wont be. if you want more read the manga.

**also, in before the massive flames claiming this to be shit anime that relies on gore and nudity to have any selling point (false - bring it on)
