PokeNirvash Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 You should have known as far in as the opening theme in the first episode that it was gonna be pretentious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( . ) ( . ) I mean at least if the ending was open to interpretation I'd be cool with that. But the ending makes NO sense, the details leading up to the end all contradict each other. So who was the shadowy figure standing at the gate?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 They did an anime original ending. Elfen Lied bombed in Japan and it wasn't going to get another season. Look up the manga ending if you want the real story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider the manga to be official here- If i watch an anime then that anime is going to be stand alone regardless. and i read the manga then that manga is stand alone in its own universe. Clearly Lucy commits suicide in the anime at the end and therefore no one should be standing in the door as the shadowy figure. Therefore anime= failed again.

Phillies Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 and Yuga and Kota are supposed to be cousins why is she always hitting on him??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Japan's weird like that. Besides, you shouldn't complain about first-cousin incest when there's a whole genre of series about the immediate sibling equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Differences between media[edit] Because the manga was in production by the time the TV series began broadcasting, the manga and anime have several significant plot differences. While the manga covers 107 chapters, the anime was condensed into 13 episodes and director Mamoru Kanbe said that he intended to feature much more of the original story. The anime only follows events roughly up to about halfway through the manga, and it has its own self-contained ending. As a result, several of the characters' pasts and details of the Diclonius are not featured in the anime. In 2005, a special original video animation (OVA), written to occur between the tenth and eleventh episodes of the anime, was released. Several of the characters in the manga do not appear in the anime, such as Aiko, who Lucy encountered before the beginning of Elfen Lied (although she briefly appears in the OVA) and the characters of Silpelit Number 28, the Mariko clones, Lucy's younger half-brother, Anna Kakuzawa and Yuka's friend Nozomi, who wants to be a singer but cannot because of a verbally abusive father and unsupporting family. There is also a difference in the characters' personalities in the anime; Kohta is much more forgiving upon finding out that Lucy was the one who killed his family. Several properties of the Diclonii change between the manga and anime; Lucy has much fewer vectors in the anime and her destructive power is far more powerful in the manga, at the point she can destroy buildings and sink an island, and there is greater variation in hair and eye color. In the manga a Diclonius' hair color can be as diverse as a human being's (e.g. Nana and Mariko have purple and blond hair, respectively) while in the anime, the female Diclonii have a uniform red or pink hair and eye color. Diclonius genetics are also explained in greater detail in the manga: For example, Kurama explains the purpose of the Silpelits and that the Diclonius virus can only be passed into the human male to produce Diclonius offspring. Small differences in the details of the plot and characters also exist: Kurama does not die at the end of the manga and Bando loses the lower half of his body.

The anime is intended to be watched on its own without influence from the manga. I have no reason to believe I need to read the manga nor are we expected to. The anime is the anime. So what exactly happens at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Of the anime? Lucy or Nyuu survives and comes back to the house leaving it open for a S2 that never comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Nana survives getting her arms and legs ripped off. All of them =P People can survive stuff in this anime. Basically the theory is Lucy gets her horns blown off and turns into Nyuu, and comes back to the house to live out her life as a new person with a clean slate. And with no horns she's basically human now. Lucy basically wanted to die out of guilt for the manyyyyyyy innocent people she brutally murdered. So she gets her wish to die, and her wish to start over. Of course that's not what happens in the manga so its open to some interpretation.

There is an army of troops shooting her and they aren't going to let her walk, aka leave her corpse just sitting there. Also I have to wonder if the director of the program has some further special agenda for Lucy considering she is the queen (perhaps take her corpse for DNA or maybe try and re-cage Lucy for further exploitation.) The only way this could happen: Lucy kills off the troops then perhaps kills herself/dies of injuries... which isn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
