ImaginAsian said: Maybe the music box stopping signifies that Lucy is no more, but the clock starting up signifies that Nyuu has returned? Perfect !! based on my thoughts and also based in the last minute of the series,,this one is the best answer for all of our questions..if you will think of it deeply, it is indeed that the music box that stopped symbolizes Lucy and the clock started to work symbolizes nyu..in short Nyu came back but lucy is already gone.. |

| LOL..i forgot to add something..... very sure that its not Lucy because if it is her..Nana will definitely feel the presence of Lucy..so it has a high percent that it is nyuu.. |
| i just finished and i have 1 question : after scene when kouta and lucy where kissing . . .army arrive and attack lucy but kouta said "don`t go" or something like that ... so why lucy go to face army ( I don`t get it ). For me this anime is awesome 10/10 ;] |

| Just marathon'd this series all day yesterday and today, and holy crapoly. I didn't think blood, gore, violence, nudity, and split personalities could make such a great anime~! I was convinced that something like that would be a complete disaster, but I really loved Elfen Lied. Extremely open ending is open. 9/10 #Edit: Elfen Lied is my official 100th anime completed. *Throws confetti* |

| Till episode 12 I didn't get what was it that made everyone say it's such a masterpiece. I liked it but it wasn't special. But that last episode. Shit. I can't stop crying! Wow. |
| I just finished watching the last episode, and I really am ashamed of myself that i didn't watch the anime any time earlier even though i had for like a year or so. Elfen Lied is one of the best anime i've ever watched hands down. the almost episode was epic, from the bloody scenes to the emotional ones, plus the characters were pretty good as well and a masterpiece soundtrack, i mean what else you ask for... About the ending, I don't know I felt that Lucy was on the one standing in the gate, but I thought that it could be the female scientist that ripped Kohta's picture for the notebook, but who knows... I'm going to watch the OVA next of course, and i hope it will answer some of the questions. A definitely 9/10 anime |

Hybrid00 said: ELFEN LIED PEOPLE DIED OMG I cant stop laughing! I pondered for a long time whether to watch Elfen Lied or not. The reviews about the nudity kind of discouraged me. But Im really glad I decided to watch. It just shows too much about humanity, or rather, the real humanity. The ending is extremely abstract.... I agree with many others about the "music box stops lucy die clock work nyuu back". But somehow i feel that the music box has MORE meaning to it but i cant figure it out. A lot have said the Lucy's vectors flying up in the end suggested Lucy attacking the soldiers But that scene left me the impression that Lucy surrendered? With all arms raised so that no arms can block the bullets? Somehow I felt that Lucy dont really raise her vectors so high up when she attacks. Oh well, just my thoughts... Ova is a stupid 10.5 but it explained how Lucy, who is so strong, end up in the research facility. Its not really that good as an OVA, but its short enough for its purpose though... |
| ~Bokura wa deau tameni koko e umare ochita Toki wo tsumugu tashikana uta ni michibikare habataku yo~ |
| Oh my. 10/10. |
| Was a pretty "meh" ending and didn't answer any questions at all. 7/10 |
| I just finished Elfen Lied. This feeling I'm feeling is different, somewhat like..uhm..a sour sweet..idk.. It smells some happiness, Also some tears. Young and pure Lucy touched my heart in many ways, Rageful and merciless Lucy then, wondered me, questioned me, And kind and naive Nyu, revealed somewhere deep from Lucy, simply made me smile. The ending kiss... It was like it was belonging to heavens, not a rotten cruel human world. Whichever Lucy's two personalities died, I don't care. Just knowing that one left is enough for me. Cheers. |

| Just finished watching this. To be honest, I'm thinking this anime is basically one BIG misunderstanding. All of the misinterpretations and undelivered messages resulted in dire consequences. There are just so many of the characters in here that I want to smack upside the head because of me thinking, "How the hell did you mess THAT up!?" Okay, enough of my ranting. Here's my take on the ending: - I agree with thinking that the person at the door being Nyuu. The music box stopping and the grandfather clock starting each represents both of Lucy's personalities: the music box symbolizing the girl Kouta met during his childhood (Lucy), and the grandfather clock symbolizing the girl who tried to fix it (Nyuu). Since the music box stopped playing, I assume that the Lucy is no more and Nyuu has returned, due to the grandfather clock coming back to life. That, and after taking a close look at the outline of the person at the door, it's very likely that it's Nyuu. - I was a little surprised when the Director General took off his wig; I didn't really expect that he'd be a Diclonius. This would probably mark a new beginning of the mutant race. How he'd do it without test subjects, I don't know. - I'm not really sure if they'll be able to life a quiet life for long, with Nana being with them and all. It all depends on whether Nana will be going to town or not. But, I think with all that's happened, it'll be tough to track them down. As shown in the ending, the new assistant for the research lab hid Kouta's photo away from the Director General. Also, with the two detectives who questioned Maya and Kouta earlier, Kouta gave false information and Maya didn't tell them where she would be staying. Overall, it was a great series. I'll give this one a 9/10. |

| I'm happy to see so many others enjoyed this series. I definately thought it was very good. The vague ending reminded me of David Lynch movies. I'll probably unconsciously believe lucy/nyuu came back at the end & everyone lived happily ever after. I guess I'm just that way... |

Darkanor said: This was an amazing anime, so much of this anime fits into the real world. I think that the Director/Drawer wants us to understand the hidden meanings of this incredible anime. I felt the tears coming at the end of this anime, best anime ever made. I really loved the ending, i think that the Music box winding down is a symbol of the Evil Lucy is dieing, she had 3 personalities Nyu, Lucy and the evil Lucy. When she loses her first horn, which Mariko is responsible for, Nyu dies. And as u see almost at the end, she raises her telekinetic arms and then u see her horn suddenly flyes up. I dont think the soldiers would ever be able of removing a horn from Lucy, she probably did it on purpose and therefore to kill the Evil Lucy and lose her telekinetic powers. Like u see when Mariko removes her first one, no bullets would penetrate those horns. Now the Clock suddenly starts working, i would think it is a sign of a new start, the girl outside the gate has no horns, and since Lucy has lost both her horns i would say its most likely the old Lucy which Kouta knew from his foggy memory. As she has lost her powers Nana is unable of sensing her presence, Nane would most likely NOT kill her as Lucy saved her life at the stairs. I also think Lucy face's the army to make them believe they killed Lucy, so that she could live in peace with Kouta and the others. Good reasoning. It makes sense. Well I though that she just died when we see the horn breaking at the first. Now I am bit confused since we see that ending. Worth watching. Too bad I felt that some things in this last episode were predictable. I mean the director with horns... Since Lucy killed that "professor" wich had also horns, I begin too see the general with them, the way he talked about Diclonius and especially about the Diclonius with chromosomes inherited. I though that he was there to prepare and begin a new era. (like the Seele in NGE) |

| Bah, I found it somewhat okay. Not the greatest anime I've seen but it was entertaining to say the least. The story was predictable most of the times and the ending was horrible and misleading. I had to force myself to watch these 13 episodes and honestly I think it was a waste of my time. I've only endured this much thanks to the gory scenes which, in fact, made me laugh. Overall, it's okay. Nothing more. 6/10 |
| so heartbreaking that I can't sleep... most emotional and saddest scene in all for me was, few years back, Lucy's friend who was wearing that knit hat got shot, and Lucy pleaded for saving her on consition that she turn herself in, but days later, she heard that the girl died in the end... ah, this is in OVA though too bad that whole story wasn't animated, but oh well. I've just got to buy all Manga series to the End. |

| Kanae was killed by Lucy. Mayu certainly looked liked Kanae and I'm sure that was one of the many reasons why Kouta let her stay with them. I could sware the person at the gate was Lucy. Anyway, I totally loved this series. But unfortunately I was stupid enough to eat dinner while watching the first episode of this superb series. lol Loved the whole thing. Made my cry like a little bitch a few times too. The series gave me alot more than what I was expecting. Hopefully, something similar or a second season will come out some day. :) |
| PLZ tell me that was Lucy at the gate!!! i miss her now... i love the old Lucy... lol... anyway im glad Nana is still alive!!! and he got his memories back =) im happy #35 died... i jus wish there were more... hmm i wonder if there is... cant remember =P anyway i wonder what happen to Lucy when it showed her that 1 time with her like all bloody and her eyes white... hmm... also who would have guessed#35 was HIS daughter!!! hehe poor them... they hopefully r all together now =) all in all SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME ULTRA SUPER AMAZING ANIME!!! |
 |
| The ending is a piss poor job of the anime. Fillers for the Fucking Loss They shuda started the anime when the manga is finished |
| Meh, I'm with most people around here. Ending was good but NOT perfect. A lot of questions remain. Was it really Lucy at the end? What does her horn fly off mean? Could it mean that without the horns she became "Nyu" full time, and thus can't be tracked anymore? Hum... I have many theories, but little facts. Guess I'll have to check out the Manga. Anyways Elfen Lied = 9/10 Overall In my opinion. Good show. |
| this epi really hit me hard, the way the director summed up all the emotions and memories together was just amazing. i realize that yes at the end the person at the door is probably the good Lucy but....cliff hanger of death has struck again >.< |
 |
| I love this anime. The final is a bit strange, but I still think that it's one of the best animes. I hope someday will be a second season, that'd be fantastic. 10/10. |
 |
| The final is almost perfect in my opinion. |

| Really sad, almost made me cry. I found some parts of this anime too forced at times but it was pretty good overall. 8/10 Oh and Lucy isn't dead. =] |

| As I write this, my cheeks are sticky because I cried a bit. This was a beautiful series! Here's a picture perfect ending (almost ending):  This particular kiss made me feel cold, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. Did Lucy die? I'm pretty sure she did. I don't think so, because who else would be at the gate? The evil Lucy is now dead. I think the good Lucy came back. "There's one bowl too many," "I'm sure she would have liked to eat too." ;( I loved how the clock was fixed at the end of the series. Very symbolic, somehow I love these sort of things. |

| Very satisfying open ending, however it did get me to marathon the manga straight after the end of episode 13 |
| one of the best animes i have watched. i give this episode a 10/10. i decided to finally watch it becasue at first i thought it was going to suck but then it proved me wrong. this final episode was ended like a final episode should end. i just dont think there will be a second season because it has been on for too long already. i felt sad when lucy decided not to stay with kouta and the rest of them. i think it would have been better like that. oh well heres hoping to a second season. |
An amazing ending to an amazing anime series!! So upset that Bando didn't die!! |
 |
| great ending~ Love the GORE |
 |
| wait...so did lucy die or not? O.o...i don't think so because,wth she did this many times before :) i'm 90% sure that nyu's behind that door great series...10/10 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| I just recently finished Monster yesterday and left me with a cliffhanger.. And this too?? ~_~ Anyways, the ending was odd yet fine but still there's some still things to be cleared.. Let's just leave it to ourselves.. As to the series, it was great when it comes to the psychological impact it might leave to us.. It was worth watching... |
