| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is so Madhouse. Dub wasn't too bad actually*, I was a bit offput by the very Western music tracks but as they were actually relevant to the story you can see why they probably chose to replace the original ones. *It was quite flat and uninterested, which hurt my enjoyment a bit, but again, it's pretty appropriate given that they were going for a film noir-style story (jaded protagonist, twists and all). The only thing that really felt out of place was the Street Fighter II bad guy in the truck!! |

| Very cool noir style and very weird - that guy jumping from the truck and the knife guy especially. They really went with the noir style other than that. |
| Not bad, was just expecting some cheap action flick( which it was), but it also presented interesting ideas. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Nice technoir aesthetic. They don't make 'em look like this anymore. Some ero-guro aesthetic inside Yuki's mind. It turns out the music industry was the real cult all along Unfortunately, kinda forgettable I think, but a very competent production |
| I found this disappointing, there was so much more they could have done with this concept than a somewhat generic golgo 13 sort of affair. Also I'm not sure why all the reviews call this weird and a "mind fuck", this wasn't really that weird at all. All and all I was very underwhelmed by this. Oh, and one more thing, our good old top OVA reviewer literature nerd is wrong like normal. This WAS based on a light novel series. Moral of the story, never trust an Elfen Lied fan. |

| This was awful, watching this was a pointless experience. 1/10 |
| :3 |
| What was that eyeball licking lol, it's not a Suehiro Maruo adaptation Yuki's bassist looked like Ray from Macross 7 Somehow Yuki was born 10 years prior to the events of the OVA but she looks much older. I guess psychic powers make you grow faster or something xD There were a couple of shots with rather incomprehensible kanji in Busujima's house and on a cafe pillar. Wonder what they said. |
| Nice of Bando to make a cameo. |
| Go ahead, reply. I'm not going to read it. |
| One of the best schlocky ovas I've ever seen, this needed more runtime so the scenes would flow a bit better, better dialogue, and more characterization. Kristiwazhere said: TrueMoral of the story, never trust an Elfen Lied fan. |
