For those who don’t want to read the rest of my review for whatever reason, I just want to say that I recommend watching Elfen Lied. People dislike the show because of the gore and nudity in the show. I personally would say the English dub wasn’t the best either. I bought the entire show on disc and watched it again in Japanese. It was a lot better than I remembered. People who reviewed the slow and complained about the gore and/or nudity probably shouldn’t have watched it in the first place. The story is supposed to be about how cruel the world can be to people who are considered different. Considering how it’s an anime from 2004, made by studio not well known (at least at the time it aired) and crammed into 12 episodes (and one OVA) I am surprised it came out this well. It’s definitely a good anime and worth a watch.
