Where to start? Anonymous

nah i liked the cute factor of Elfen Lied (when there weren't vectors involved of course) So I posted here :)

/c/ is Anime/Cute, and OP's pic displays a cute anime female, so technically there should be no problem. Also, since OP's pic is Elfen Lied, I would STRONGLY suggest staying away from /a/. Especially with the mention of Death Note, too. /a/ goes bat-shit insane with flames at the mention of either one.

On topic, OP, are you looking for anime or manga? Also, what sort of genre?

You'd probably like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

If you like DN and EL, then I sense the genre your looking for.

Ergo Proxy
Desert Punk
Wolfs Rain
Trinity Blood
Bubblegum Crisis
Ghost in the Shell (2 Movies, and 3 seasons)
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Witch Hunter Robin
Big O
Reign the Conqueror
Air TV
Jyu-Oh-Sei
Hellsing (OAV-Eternal Damnation version, dont watch the other crap)

I suggest veoh.com and limewire download.


I posted the somewhat darker side of Anime. Enjoy anon.

Hmm cute+dark and new to anime? I didn't think Elfen Lied was particularly dark though, more of a random gore fest.

Anyway dark:

Serial Experiments Lain
Ergo Proxy
Boogiepop Phantom

elfen lied is an intresting series to start in to an anime fan career with it draws from alot of genres and is a bit weird if you came out of that ok you deffinetly have what it takes to be one of us
shakugan no shana- nice action cute chars good story
i do recomend lucky star for cuteness but its a bit on the random side i personly love the show but some people cant stand the randomness
really it depends on your deffinetion of dark im hessitent to give a list cause theres not all that much stuff i can think of off the top of my head that fit BOTH your criteria id have to say elfen lied is the only thing i know of that hits the nail on the head there

Everyone who's mentioning cute-but-dark needs to jog their memory a bit. Two of the best lesser-known series in that category are Alien 9 and Narutaru. Both are spectacular.

i love it when people think elfen lied is "cute"
