/C/ I can't bring myself to watch the rest of Elfen Lied.
After seeing Nana being torn apart i couldn't continue watching the series.
Should i just continue watching even with the violence against girls?

Op here after Nana first gets hurt is there still a lot of violence against girls?
>> Anonymous
Yes. The show consists of pretty much nothing but violence toward little girls. And puppies.

Violence aside it's really good imo. The violence is not that bad anyway...

Actually,isn't the show about child abuse?If you don't want to see such stuff you're watching the wrong anime.

The series itself is really good, but if you are the type of viewer who isn't into gore and violence, then you might want to be wary. Elfen Lied focuses on an engaging storyline, rather than just the superficial cuteness of its characters.

The violence in the series is not gender biased. You either have to take the good with the bad, or simply cease watching it. People get ripped to shreds in the series, and it IS a bit cruel, but that is the nature of Elfen Lied.

Perhaps you're watching it for the wrong reasons.

There is the Lucy that kills from psychological trauma,
then the just sadistic Bando...
I haven't seen many examples of females being sadistic killers for the sake of it

Try watching Shadow Star Narutaru instead. Most of the violence is carefully placed offscreen, so it should be much less disturbing to you. :p

Males in anime seem to kill because they choose to like bando,
while females have to do it out of defence like Lucy
that is the reason why i don't mind males being hurt while i don't like watching females get injured

Yes, but in the show Lucy states that she does not count killing humans as murder. She had a fervent hatred for mankind. just becuase she is not as sadistic and Bando was, does not mean she isn't as ruthless of a killer.

On the other hand, there's that horrific rape....

Yeah, the test tube kinda pushed it past Elfen Lied on the fucked up scale for me.

By the end, it seemed like they were just throwing in disturbing stuff that didn't help the plot, for no reason other than to try to one-up the show's previous fuckupedness. Which of course failed because nothing could really surpass the rape scene.

My general reaction to it all: Oh, is she sleeping with her brother? Whatever, that's not as fucked up as her hobby of RAPE. Oh wait, now a pokemon's raping her to death, so I guess maybe that's more disturbing...

its /c/ safe if ppl dont posst sertain scenes..

the anime itself IS NOT WORKSAFE. nudity violance perversion, pedofilia referances.. its nto a very charming anime, but it is a very powerful one if you get into it

Personally, I think Elfen Lied is a great anime, but it has some major faults.

The first fault is that the gore is too unrealistic (I am not talking quantity, but quality).

The second fault is all the undeeded nudity/fanservice (also including the gore). The series is very deep and dark and there are some things they should've refrained from adding.

The animation is sometimes even blockier than the Naruto Shippuuden animation, which means it sucks.

But a great story, characters and overall awesomeness.

I loved the gore. It's my favorite violence out of any anime. I love the telekinetic nature of it, looks beautiful.
>> Anonymous
Lied pwns. Nana getting ripped apart isn't close to the most gut-wrenching scene, though. Wait till you get to Nyuu's past.

Serious emotional roller-coaster, but also serious goodness.

Approximately 4:00 minutes into episode 5.

Correct, its not exactly a rape scene but given the violent nature of the anime itself I'm surprised they did not show the whole scene.
