I found this series to be quite entertaining, however, its not without its flaws. I look back and think that this really isnt actually epic material, just really good.
Story: 6/10
Now that I have read the manga for Elfin Lied, I realize how little of the real story there really is in the anime, though whats in the anime is entertaining nonetheless. The whole situation with diclonus and Lucy is much more complex then they let on in the anime. Plus this has one of those open ends as well, so no real conclusion is reached in the anime.
Art: 9/10
the art was actually well done in my opinion, tons of blood and gore, which was actually decently animated. I havent found any real problems with the art. Some people say theres just too much nudity in this series, however, I dont see any problem with that, if you are an experimental animal in a research facility, would you expect to have clothes?
Sound: 9/10
the opening is quite interesting, and I say it fits the anime pretty well. also the BGM never interfered with the mood or anything so I have no complaints when it comes to sound.
Character: 8/10
though they revealed a couple pivotal moments in the main characters lives, they still have a ways to go in character development. the manga delved much deeper, but I guess that is to be expected when the anime is only 13 episodes long.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I personally liked watching this show, it wasnt really all that strong in the horror field, its mostly blood and gore for scaring, but I found the story to be pretty interesting and many of the story climaxes did well in my book.
