Sorry but were they any good?

Anyway back to the matter at hand, I’ve heard people say that Elfen Lied is an example of “guro”, I had to look up the word on Google and followed a link to a gallery depicting images that borders on indescribable. I would urge anyone easily offended to stay away from “guro” but its also human nature to be attracted to this genre.

I understand ADV Films are having some problems at the moment. This does not bode well for the Elfen Lied OVA which ADV has yet to release, I was hoping for a release date this year, guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
The ending theme (Be your girl by Chieko Kawabe) is currently my cell phone’s ring tone plus found the English translated text as well

English Lyrics
Baby, I wanna be your girl
Baby, all I need is you

Even though you're with me so much now
Even though you love me this much now

Time isn't on my side
I can't be your girlfriend

Again and again I thought I was okay with that
I'm sharing you with somebody else, but
Again and again I cry knowing I don't want that, "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Even if it's a lie, even if it's just for my peace of mind, tell me I'm the only one

It hurts when the anesthesia of your kiss wears off
Are you leaving already?

Telling myself it would be cowardly to cry here
I'm gritting my teeth and holding myself back

Again and again I thought I was okay with that
I'm sharing you with somebody else, but
Again and again I cry knowing I don't want that, "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Even if it's a lie, even if it's just for my peace of mind

Come on, please
You're the only one inside me
Tell me I'm the only one you love
There's just one thing I want, I simply want all of you

I won't run away from the world waiting ahead on this path
I want to see for myself where it leads
Even if I get hurt even more than I have already, "I'm gonna be your girl!"
There's no way you can stop me, because this is the way I feel

Again and again I thought I was okay with that
I'm sharing you with somebody else, but
Again and again I cry knowing I don't want that, "(I wanna) be your girl..."
Even if it's a lie, even if it's just for my peace of mind, tell me I'm the only one

Baby, I wanna be your girl
Baby, all I need is you


Damn I love this song.

45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say "And here is the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.

I forgot that the first episode of Elfen Lied was on TV last night. I wonder what those who haven’t seen it before will say after watching the series.

Well, I won't force myself to watch the English dub so, I'm not exactly looking forward to these guys's impression.

Btw, who here read the manga?

All I caught of the new shows was FF:Unlimiteds credits today.

Except there were no credits, just a Chocobo running in a loop then jumping -wiggy.

I’ve found some of the current developments somewhat disturbing; new sinister and powerful characters entering the fray and Nana vowing to kill or put down” a certain someone” when next they meet, just to name a few. I was happy to see that” a certain someone” is currently able to say more that a single phrase all the time.
The manga has a lot more fan service than the anime, which is never a bad thing.

Yeah, Lucy isn't as likable in the manga either. I'm yet to read all of it, just browsed through a few chapters, but I did note it's heavier than the anime, and very much diffirent.

Hmm, I really liked Lucy in the anime :P
I think I will start reading the manga soon, especially if its not too similar compared to the anime :D

I didnt find the anime that heavy, was actually one of my first proper Japanese audio anime...wait, I think it was my first actually 8O :?
Or Devil May Cry or xxxHOLiC might have been :)

The manga gives a lot of back-story and the diffirences are huge, it's not like the anime. In the manga Lucy is really not to be ****ed with. She has more vectors and their still growing in range. Mariko has 50 with a 30m reach. Thus luckily manga's black and white and does not feature the color red...

I'll see what happens this weekend, maybe I'll make some time to read all of it.

Guess I’ll wait for the TV series to finish its first run on Animax and for rest of you to catch up to the manga before I say anything more revealing about the manga. So I figure that’s about three weeks before we’re all on the same page.
