Elfen Lied starts off strong, but by the end of the first episode, you're already wondering about what weird fetishes the author's got going on. Gradually, the story becomes more and more disturbing, reaching a point where it almost feels like a parody. However, it only gets worse. And the worse it gets, the more it hooks you in. Suddenly, the roles flip, and now, the worse it technically gets, the more awesome it becomes. It's so weird and stupid, yet so unapologetic about it, that you develop a compulsory need to see how it all unfolds. Instead of just being bad, it's, in fact, so insanely bad that it loops back around into being insanely good again. Elfen Lied is unforgettable anime and I wholeheartedly recommend it if niche 2000's seinen is your thing. 10/10
