I finished making a review for the anime series "Elfen Lied." It was like around 11:00 PM the other night, but I was too lazy to make a new post at that time. So I'm doing it now. Here ya go!

It might be kinda hard to read...the picture I moded with Photoshop turned out pretty good I would say. But...I couldn't find any good fonts and color for the fonts that went well with the backround...so I got stuck with what you currently see there. If you're having extreme difficulty reading it, here is the review itself:
Elfen Lied - Freaky! This anime series is definitely not for little kids. This has a series Mature rating. Genres are: horror, romance, and action. There are 13 episodes and 1 OVA to this series. The OVA is also considered as Episode 14, but you see it doesn’t take place after 13. No, no. It takes place somewhere within the series. Hence why it should actually be called an OVA. As stated earlier, this is definitely not for kids under the age of 17. This is probably the most gory thing you will ever see. It has even more blood and killing than in Live-action horror movies. Man...when the Japanese do Horror stuff, they don’t hold back. There was so much gore that I actually felt sick from watching it! I actually felt like throwing up at one point. I felt naucious from watching an anime!?!? WTF!?!? Alright, so the basic premise of the series is about a mutant girl with horns (they look more like cat ears than horns to me...) who escapes from a secret facility that has been kept her locked up. When she is on the verge of escaping, she is shot in the back of her head; but miraculously she survives. The shot then causes a split in her personality. The kind and adorable Nyu (or Nyuu...WHATEVER!) and the insane-phyco-gonna-kill-everyone-in-her-sight Lucy. And so they story goes about with her struggle to survive along with her friends. THIS IS SERIOUSLY NOT FOR CHILDREN!! IF YOU ARE SEVENTEEN OR YOUNGER YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
CONTENT: NUDITY, MASS GORE, SEXUAL CONTENT, RAPE, PHEDOPHILE RAPE (I’m sure there’s a specific word for that...but I don’t know it), ADULT LANGUAGE.
Though as a Mature rated anime as it is, it is a must watch. But it is definitely not for all audiences. But if you do decide to watch this series, watch all 14 episodes straight. Watch the whole series together all at once. That way you’ll get the most enjoyment out of it. For those who can’t take a lot of gore, STAY AWAY FROM THIS! Though I felt disgusted at one point in time from this, it wasn’t really that much. I do recommend people to get this series, but not to everyone. Music blends-in extremely well in the series; very dark and Goth-like. Storyline is nicely done, action is...more than enough to get anyone going. Great series.
Rating: 8.0/10.0 And for such a series, I’m giving it my personal “Chiyo-chan’s personal stamp of approval.”
Now as a side note: Yes, it is still very bad even though it may be an improvement from my previous ones. BUT GIVE ME A BREAK! I do this as a hobby, not as a profession! So cut me some slack. |
