while everyone is talking about Evangelion and Mob Psycho 100, I just want to thank Yea Forums for introducing me to Elfen Lied for the first time. I love the manga now more than ever, and I can’t wait to spend some quality time watching this series.
Elfen Lied is perhaps the most controversial story of all time. Opinions on it varies greatly with some calling it "garbage of the century" while others claiming it an outstanding "masterpiece of all masterpieces". I prefer to stay away from these extremes but without a doubt naming Elfen Lied as the former is far from justified.
nothing is perfect. what Elfen Lied lacked was some great artistic drawing. although the reader can depict one action from the next, the amount of detail (ie. the quality of the artwork) is seemingly below what one would expect from such high quality story.
