If I can pretend the last two episodes didn't happen, I'd say this was a rather enjoyable watch.
Otherwise....I don't really know.

I'll give it a 6.

No, it is not an 'anime only ending'. Evrething they did in anime was rushed (but everything happened in manga too), that's why you whould say it is bad, and it is in comparation with manga

RIP Kotori.

I really hope Kotori will be back in the future. Chisato said he can do it again to bring her back. Hopefully someone will bring her back. Wishful thought.

So Mako is dead too? She is Kuroha's real blood sister?I wonder why non of the witches ever plan to see their parents/family. After they escape from the labs,surely they must have thought of seeing their real parents.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Sweet, Kuroha confessed and kissed Ryouta. Who cares if she lost her memory, at least she survived.
Kazumi got me scare for a second, I thought she was dead. Too bad Kotori died.

I guess the ending was a bit rushed, but that kiss made up for it.

ended one of the best anime of the season in my opinion
the last episode was half rushed, and presented a lot things, but I think it also left open the possibility of a second season (hopefully this can happen), after almost all the girls survived, even here I thought it would not happen
poor Kotori, was a favorite of mine, liked her personality and also their dubbing, but my favorite was the Neko, she was always very cute, Kana was not very prominent, but ended up surviving, I already imagined that Hatsuna not would die, and eventually she probably should have saved Kazumi
I liked the animation and of the plot of the anime, I found a great soundtrack, especially the first opening I found the best of the season and the best of the year so far
I will continue to follow the manga from now, for surely this is a great work, and very worthwhile both to see the anime how read the manga

While the adaptation is apparently bad, I'm part of that group that is ignorant to the source material. Ignorance is bliss, so I rather enjoyed the despair of the series. I would've fancied an explanation to that atrocity they called a cliff hanger since I don't think I'm going to check the source material out. I hardly ever do.

For what I saw, it fluctuated from wow to OK, all the way down to meh, and then back up to OK.
Before that cliffhanger, I was about to give an 8 for ending in despair. I was both relieved and disappointed to see the rest of the cast alive again.

5 is average, so 6/10. Slightly above average.

It was great at the start but when Valkyria arc started, it was a Huge Epic Fail i`ve ever seen, the 2nd OP theme song describe why it turn out to be trashy.
The final episode is Super Rushed like a bullet train.

Best girl : Kazumi, Kana, Nanami, Hatsuna
Worst girl : Everyone else (Kotori Takatori is worst than Poop)

7/10 for this because it has good moments and Kazumi being alive because Irony

Episodes 1 to 9 -> Great (with minimum: rush, changes & skips)
Episodes 10 & 11 -> Good to ok (with medium: rush, changes & skips + -missing arc-)
Episodes 12 & 13 -> Disappointing...
they changed critical moments..
Kana's!!!! (one of my fav. moment in the whole series), Kotori's death & Neko vs Mako (epic fight!!! Rei guns vs Kamehamehas) -,-
still, i won't judge a whole series based on these last 2 episodes or let's say the last episode specifically..
i enjoyed it a lot overall that's all that matter to me.. looking forward for the blurays. :D

Man, my only real problem is of course the rushing. If only they fit all this into 2 seasons, or 2 cours. Take your pick. Would have easily been a great show and it had a lot of potential I feel.

I enjoyed this show for a majority of it and I'm going to be generous with the scoring. 7/10.

Remake requested, period.

Well, seriously, this series reveals a huge problem for the Anime industry that's been lurking around for years. The staff have to make animes like there would never be another cour, so they try to squeeze as much as they could in one cour and use these 12 to 13 episodes as an expensive advertisement for the original works. Sometimes it works, if handled properly, sometimes it fails miserably. Just like this series. Since I am a fan of the original work it makes me even madder.

Guess I will find something new to watch. At least I have the manga though.

I never read the manga so I guess thats why I so damn confused. How is Kazumi and Hatsuna alive? Who were the TWO graves for. Why is Kana back in a wheelchair?

I feel like without reading the manga the anime leaves so many unanswered questions at the end.

At least in Elfen Lied they leave it up to the person watching to determine the ending. Here its just like wtf just happened.

Besides the ending the show itself was not half bad, but i feel like the ending ruined it for me.



Well we know one grave is for Kotori and I think the second one is for Rena, Chisato's sister.


The other grave is Kotori's witch friend who killed herself so that Kotori could celebrate her birthday. Kotori buried her goop in the woods after she died.

There's a handicap/limit for her healing ability (in the manga)..
and like i said the pills & the eject button are the only ways for her to die.

just this ep dropped this series from a 7(quite good ignoring detaills) to a 1(WORST ending ive seen in my life)
so, if i'm not a manga reader i'm supposed to understand they are fucking inmortal because one of them can freely bring back people to live? (once a day is a limit? tha´ts a like 365 x 7 dragon balls )

AAAAA WORST ENDING I'VE SEEN IN YEARS!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

and i tougth sao did a "bad" job stuffing 4 novels in 25 chapters! this damm studio just jammed like 5 manga chapters into 5 mins!
WE DIDINT GET IT DAMM IT!!!!

rant over...

i know this is a rushed anime, the source is good, if it wasnt we woudnt be here 13 eps later, but i'm not touching another anime from that director....this is elfen lied gone wrong...+aliens....

Hmmm well it was rushed, but ok.

We got the Kuroneko x Murakami confession and kiss. She got her memories back too, it's a shame she lost them again though. You could see Murakami's face when she was looking through the telescope at the end. He knew that the button was the only way, but it would be another .1% chance.

Hatsuna revived Kazumi, so only Kotori passed away, along with Mako I guess.
Breakthrough with the alien baby and the pills meant the girls could live too.

Chisato got lit the fuck up. That felt so rewarding.

Guess it's time to wait for the 11.5 since with the rushedness and the way the sorta "wrapped everything up" during the credits I don't expect a season 2.

Ok so what exactly are the witches, how were they created, why?

"It was all to try and bring back by daughter."

That's nice, so how did you create the witches and why do they have powers?

"Aliens!"

Care to elaborate?

"Aliens!"

Well can't say I expected much more of an explanation.

Oh and then how does the ending go.

"I remember everything now"

That's great! So this will probably lead to either a happy ending, or you will die heroically after regaining your memories right?

"Nope I lost all my memories now"

Well then, let's just forget about that and say it was a happy ending anyway and make everyone look happy hanging out together.



Ehh it was a enjoyableish anime, but it was messy. 7/10 overall.

LOOOOOL.... I just had to laugh when Nanami appeared AGAIN as a ghost. The Hexenjagd once again showed their stupidity, it was hilarious to see them just sit there and pray but when the light disappeared they had to rush to catch the enemies... *sigh* I haven't seen any characters acted that stupid since Copellion.

And Kazumi... oh my Goood!!! What kind of human can still talk after being severed in half?

This show should be called deux ex machina no brynhildr. Sooooo, sooo bad... just like almost every harem, the girls are the only redeemable aspect of this show, Murakami is one of the most annoying lead ever with his screaming and crying. Even then I only stayed this long because I was curious about the alien and even that one is disappointing..

I originally had this on 3 but screw that, the last 2 episodes alone make this show deserve 2/10. It's officially as bad as if not worse than Akuma no Riddle.

Aww Neko lost her memories yet again... Overall i think it was a decent ending. Wasn't Kazumi cut in half? i guess the only explanation for her being alive must be Hatsuna.

comment:
It had some good episodes with plot moving, comedy and serious acts but sometimes it just felt like there should have been more in between those changes. It was quite spontaneous at times, lying there and almost dead and then suddenly.. BAM comedy and fan service in your face. It was a decent series and i think the ending was properly executed compared to say Akuma no riddle... I'm aiming around 6-7. I think it had many good things and there was quite a lot of potential but given that it was only 13 episodes, with all the information we received, they could have doubled that and used that valuable time to go in details with lost elements e.g.. the aliens in the witches nest...

Wow I was like what the hell... Ep13 is the worst episode I ever seen after compared to manga. It contains so many plot holes skip here and there and I was like watching nothing lol. So in the end you must read manga so that you will know why Kazumi and Hatsuna are alive. I accept that the fact Kana was still sitting on the wheelchair. They shouldn't rush the anime though I think. Starting from the 2nd OP the anime has became worse and have plotholes already. I rate overall 9/10 but the ending somehow been destroyed…

Such a great show, it cant be helped if its rushed if its only going to be 13 episodes. In fact it didnt really feel that bad, no time for mourning but still great. In fact for rushing through so much i feel they did a good job. Definitely most underrated show of this season real sad really.

I have to say the same thing. Thought I wanted to know NGNL gets so much hype. All I see are loli, different kinds of loli. While I get the point of the story, it's done in a meandering way not too interesting.

As for this series, the series was at least entertaining until the valkyrie appeared.

I personally liked it but I don't think they executed it too well, or rather they couldn't because it's only 1-cour considering everything felt too rushed (a lot of plot holes and rushed information) and it's unfortunate to see potential go to waste like this. Would like to see OVA's to explain more, perhaps a Season 2 with flashbacks.

(Am I the only one who gets slightly creeped out by their eyes? i.e. when the iris forms a circle)

On a side note, NGNL was over-hyped but wasn't a total disappointment, twas an enjoyable series in my honest opinion.

So many open holes left in the anime. Read the manga if you want to understand it all. Episode 12-13 basically skipped a whole 40 chapters and rushed to the end. Even the fight scene between the neko and neko's sister was cut to a third or something. The whole fight scene was butchered, as well as kotori dieing. Infact the whole episode butchered the whole manga material. Heres some explanation that the anime left out:

Why kazumi is alive at the end.


Explanation for Kana moving


Why Hatsuna lives after melting


The drug explanation in the manga vs anime

Read the manga. It is so much better and explains everything. Plus it is still ongoing

Even though the show was a trainwreck, i enjoyed the adaption because i get to see the characters animated
