For all the hype this anime has, I was left disappointed.

More to do with the choices by the company who produced it than the actual story.

Simply put, I think they attempted to cram too much into 13 episodes. I know they started producing the anime before the manga was finished, but even still, there was just too much that wasn't fully explained or ever clarified. It's such a shame, there was so much the anime could have provided. A more mature, 'R'-rated version of Fullmetal Alchemist, so to speak in terms of what it could have expressed.

Speaking of FMA, I truly do hope there is a remake of this series sometime in the future. A longer, true to the manga version that develops into something better.

I personally loved this series from start to finish the story was good the action was fun to watch and I loved the music. Oh and Lucy was just an awesome character.

10/10 for me.

What I liked most about Lucy and Kouta's talk at the end was how Lucy became so real! Putting in her split personality Nyuu was genius! Nyuu was a fantasy-like character, someone who could never possibly exist with all her bubbly harem-like behavior (she at least provided some good comedy). Lucy/Nyuu could've had a serious character all throughout, but her drastic change at the end gave such a powerful impact to the conclusion. When she changed her hair, outfit, and tone, she became a completely believable person. I've even met people like that! (I mean, colored hair, dark clothes, with an interest in dark matters? That's a fellow geek from high school ;D) *Begins golf clap* yay! Ending!

yes, it is extremely very good anime show.......it is good that manga did not make the second season.........if manga did then may be it is not entertaining as the first............if in the end of a movie/video,.....if you are not curios about the fact what is described in the movie/video, then what is the meaning of watching the movie/video....that i think........but i hope manga will create a second season of 'elfen lied'......sorry for bad english...

Damn, this anime was just like I was expecting to.
The plot was really incredible as well and the music is just epic !
Somehow I'm sad it is over :(

Actually i enjoyed a lot the whole anime...
From the beginning it was a little bit weird,and maybe strange,but after a few episodes i started to liking the anime ;)
I think they overreached all those bloody parts,it was a little bit sad.

And wow Kouta forgave Nya/Lucy??

I would give a 7/10

Still gets me everytime. Heh

I don't really like how they didn't conclude the secret research base story... I'm not sure I even understood where the Diclonius disease came from, and wish it explained how it allowed them to have psychic power arms like that.

I dislike how they didn't come up with a fitting conclusion for the guy with the robot hand, he was one of my favorite characters!

Also, did they explain who released Lucy in the first episode?

Overall, it was definitely far too rushed. I gave it a 7, but it could have been so much better.

Hmm. So many different opinions.

It was a good ending indeed. But still not sure if Lucy is alive or not. Generally i enjoyed watching this series. Even thou the story had some gaps but it was still great.
Couldn't have done it better.
Nowadays its hard to find a good anime like this. But just to be more enlightened i will read the manga as well.

9/10

AMAZING anime.
one anime I actually didn't feel sad finishing even though it instantly captivated me
from the first 10 minutes of episode 1!
soooo gooood!

WOw..ENDIN was so cool..Nur did she came backin the end right? i think so..stopping of the music and starting of the clock simplified matters a little i think..meaning life for lucy was back at home where she belonged..but still another season would be gr8!

I thought it was pretty good. I hope people dont think theres some sort of lucyxkouta thing going on cause its clear its more one sided. Lucy gave the kiss and kouta just hugged her cause he didint want to let her go to die or kill anymore. It more showed that kouta loves yuka since in a episode its shown that they actually kiss back to back with one another. I think kouta sees his relationship with lucy as more of a strong freindship.

I agree with those saying that its nyu at the door mainly cause the whole clock and music box thing.

yea the main bad guys son released her.

i found a link of the possibility of a season 2 seems plausible
