But just noticing your comment of the poor execution. Personally, I find it quite interesting the execution in Elfen Lied being quite familiar with Japanese society. Probably the most problematic perspective i have encountered with all reviewers and opinionators is in the first episode where Kouta and Yuka actually take Lucy home instead of going to the police. I say this, because in Japan I have been made to believe that the citizens do not like to get involved with the police (it might be an honourable thing) and many citizens would apparently go to the effort of returning a missing person to their home without arousing panic or worry. Similar sentiments like these also related to Japanese culture I believe are carefully placed throughout this series. On another note, yes, i do agree that there are plenty of great anime titles out there that have been better and more well written than Elfen Lied, but in the long run, I feel Elfen Lied is better because it is far more memorable, well that's my opinion anyway. And yes, divergent to the opinion of other people, their is both sexualised and non-sexualised nudity in this series. Though the sexualised bit may be slightly more subtle than other titles. Another thing is the incest, whilst as far as i am concerned, incest between cousins is not illegal in America, Australia, Japan or England and not to mention the series doesn't even clarify how close of cousins they are (they could be 4th cousins for that matter and i am sure plenty of people marry 4th cousins around the world without even intentionally realising it.) Plus it is cultural in Japan to be close to your relatives and maintain tradition even though that close incest is frowned upon in modern day Japan. Overall, i feel that this was a good and respectable review, but being a person who has experienced things that are frighteningly similar to some of the scenes and thematic material present i think that it was appropriate for the show to be blunt and forced because i felt it was an exertion of the hidious feelings that i had personally felt when i had gone through those times myself. But thankyou for allowing me to see a detailed understanding of another persons opinion where most people i come across who dislike this anime just point out regular things and personally i felt it was getting a little irritating. Thankyou very much, for your time. Have a good day. I don’t mean to be rude either. But just noticing your comment of the poor execution.

Thanks for making posts like this. I have found a lot of great anime through your website and I'm not really in to a lot 'popular' anime right now like Narturo, Fairy Tale, or the like. It's always nice to find little films like this that make you think a bit, even if they sometimes are slightly flawed. Yes, I remember this film and I was considering reviewing it myself.

There was this certain serenity to the introduction which reminded me of a film about the Roman emperor Caligula (1979 film) whose life (and reign) was mired by tragedy and desperation, vengeance and anger. Coincidentally, it was also quite the controversial film since it contained ultra-violence. In addition I felt that the "shallowness" accusation directed to it by many reviewers was part of the "point" which the creator was trying to make. For instance the murders committed by the tortured felt empty and meaningless. Also, Lucy's fractured mind only served to highlight this fact, as her ego couldn't develop because it was buffered by her id on one side (the cutesy innocent part) and her superego (the intelligent "evil" side). If you took any 2 of those parts individually, you'd find them lacking in depth. Oh, I just wanted to correct one of the points made in your final paragraph, the reason Kouta decides to adopt her is because he states quite explicitly "I don't trust the police."
