Elfen Lied

DarkStar · Post by **DarkStar** » 30 Dec 2005, 21:11

I tried google and got what I think is the original site with the game( or something) on it. Problem was, it was in japanese.

So I searched and found a link to a download (aprox. 32.9MB in size)
But when I try to extract it, it gives me an error with some of the files. Also, the file names and folders are scrambled, but I can at least open the game up, but it then crashes when it actually loads the game.

Good ja.

Btw, you've not told us what you think about Elfen yet melady...

First of all, its the best anime I have watched so far.
Its incredibly sad.. I have not yet watched the last episode.... emotionally I don't think I can handle it today

I don't think its violent. I have seen far worse, mindless violence that meant nothing. Yet almost all the main characters have been "forced" into the violence that is seen from time to time. Its rather disturbing, as someone mentioned somewhere in the thread.

Its very thought provoking, like most anime is, and its really made me think about cloning/testing and the pain (physical, mental and emotionally) that we put anyone through that tends to be a slight bit different to what we think should be the "norm".

But the music .. oh... how I would long to have that by itself - not just the beginning and end songs..... *sigh*

hmm am going to watch Urotskidoji or Mermaid Forest for some mindlessness

Elfen Lied is very cool....so far. I've only watched it up until eps5 I think.
And I do think its a violent, but its cool and the people that drew the anime realy did some nice detail on the limbs and stuff that gets torn off. I like it

...I love you jee...

It left about the same impresson on me.

Top-notch anime.

Speaking about the OST... a remarkable moment for me was in either episode 12 or 13 when Lucy kissed Kouta and for the first time in the series the song played in full whilst showing flashbacks of their happy childhood moments together. I came close to crying there...

Ahem, anyways -

I think you'll love Chrno Crusade too. Also a very sad and solid story.

It was passed on to me and I will pass it on to you soon.

Btw, check-out seedler or torrentreacter, you'll find the OST there. The new beta client is extremely fast, should have it downloaded overnight.

The sad story starts episode 7 onwards, where the reasons for all the flying bodyparts is made clear...

/sorry dp.

hmmm i'm kinda stupid when it comes to downloading things from somewhere...

I end up with dialers and such like...

but i have been balling my eyes out.... I feel like reaching my hand out to Lucy and just holding her, telling her life is not always bad.

Rayne · Post by **Rayne** » 29 Jan 2006, 15:28

Well there is a little problem with torrents... they aint seeded no more...

So sorry but that overnight dl plan will probably turn-out to be a 3 month dl plan.

I know someone who has the OST. Will not name him here but I'm sure he'll come to your rescue when he reads this thread.

Unfortunately animedirect dont have it.

i had to get the intro song out of an elfenlied episode and then convert it to an mp3 so that jane could use it as a ringtone.

man slave!

I just finished Elfen Lied myself... and all I can say is, man, what an anime.

Definitely one of the best. Reading your guys explanations were pretty interesting, but all that tiny text is really annoyinng. 8O

A few times during the series I had to take a break to watch some more 'light-hearted' stuff, just gets a bit heavy after say 3 episodes in a row.

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 08 Mar 2006, 01:03

Reaaaaaally coool it be. Just finished ep7 and boy did I crack myself. There ain't really that much violence. It is only in a selected fiew episodes that you find the gory stuff and it ain't just for no reason. I'd say saving Ryan's Privates has more senceless violence than Elfen Lied. Anways I am looking forward to finishing the series but for now I have to take a power nap before getting to work again. I am finding myself at a point where I have to muster up all of the self control I have just to not watch the next episode. Sais something about the series.

Definately a favorite of mine...quite sad that they didnt win an oscar!

*Idea*

Well Cursey, now imagine watching the whole thing in one shot... That must cause one some really mental agony... No wonder you see me act the way I do...

Kher-za · Post by **Kher-za** » 08 Mar 2006, 08:19

I watched it in a day if i remember correctly, stopping only to digest what i'd seen and forage for food to sustain myself through the series.

same with berserk, but you wont hear me admitting to it anywhere else...

Evade · Post by **Evade** » 08 Mar 2006, 08:31

yeah beserk, good times

Rayne · Post by **Rayne** » 08 Mar 2006, 08:41

I actually reccomend watching it in one sitting if at all possible.

The last ending episodes just has a better feel to it that way.

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 08 Mar 2006, 08:54

I would love to be able to watch Elfen Lied in one go. Gives me an idea.

How about editing them and putting them into one long file with all of the begin and end pieces cut out?

Rayne · Post by **Rayne** » 08 Mar 2006, 09:03

I did that using WinDVD Creator.

Chrno and Tenjho too.

Cooool. I wann a really have hellsing like that. That thing will create one hell of a 6 hour movie.

i only did that with my 2 part appleseed rip.

CurSe · Post by **CurSe** » 10 Mar 2006, 18:30

Yeah I've seen Appleseed, didn't think it was that great myself. Was pretty and had some cool fight scenes near the start, but the plot didn't seem that great.

Maybe the characters would have seemed a bit better if I had watched it in Japanese.

And Rayne, I watched the 2nd half of the series almost all in one go, so it wasn't bad at all.

Finally, it is here!

http://www.animedirect.co.za/index.php?m=ca&i=6&l=1349

The mysterious organization protecting humanity from the deadly power of the Diclonius is faced with the devil’s bargain. Will they unleash #35, the deadliest mutant yet, to hunt Lucy down? Or will they risk letting the notorious killer slip through the cracks? Things have never been easy for the young misfits at the heart of this battle, but they’ve never had it harder than this. As Kohta learns how Nyu’s past is inextricably tied to his life’s greatest tragedy, he may find that protecting her means destroying himself. Even those who have already lost pieces of themselves to this brutal fight have more to lose. As Nana goes from hunter to hunted, and Bandoh from lawman to outlaw, the shadow of death creeps closer. And what of the man who the diclonius call “Papa?” How far will Kurama go?

At last, now I can finish the originals.
