One line sticks out on the Wikipedia page for Elfen Lied:

Throughout the series there are various incidences of human sadism, casual beatings, cruel experimentation, pedophilic rape and outright killing. The series has drawn criticism as being "overly blatant"[14] or "sad and forced"[17] in this regard.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea, thanks.

Sure

The anime may be gore and violent and disturbing, at least the packaging is nice :p

no pedophilia imagery?

Well I don't actually remember seing actual pedophilia in Elfen Lied. I mean, no more than in your average anime

But there's already a lot to be shocked about in this show...

That reminds me, why are anime pushing schoolgirls in uniforms so much? It seems like they are some sort of pinnacle of sexuality for japanese people, even though they look like 15 year olds..

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 31 Jul 2007, 13:19

15 year olds are the pinnacle of sexuality.... old enough to have everything but young enough not to be very used.

I could go on, but that's one conversation i'd been trying to forget.

BTW, no one can help with this:

I watched Akira the other night.

I liked it for about the first 75%... but it totally lost me at the end. I am kind of pissed I wasted two hours for such a dumb, nonsensical ending.

It makes sense if you squint your eyes....

(that crazy pig was so right, racist jokes are the sh|t)

What i got from it was that TK makes you God...

That was pretty much my reaction to it, decent start, terrible ending.

I also feel that way about Akira.

Corribus · Unread postby **Corribus** » 31 Jul 2007, 23:31

So why do people treat it like it's the greatest animated film ever?

winterfate · Unread postby **winterfate** » 31 Jul 2007, 23:56

Beats me.

But I've heard that a lot (the line about Akira being the best animated film ever).

I don't understand it either, but it was not one of the ones I recommended to you.

I have no idea. I also think Ghost in the Shell is heavily overrated.

I actually liked that one, though the ending was a bit strange. I thought the tv episodes were better than the movie.
