Anyone watched Elfen Lied? I saw this anime when I was around 13-14yo, probably too young for such a mature theme. The song gives me so much nostalgia.

I want some opinions, do you guys think its a good anime? Or maybe I liked it so much because it was one of the first anime I saw, I feel like my opinion is biased.

Damn that vid did not give any praise to the Anime... what, an 8 year old girl make the vid or a person that has been sheltered all their lives and was sorrowed by watching the anime they decided to only post sad clip scenes.

Hey OP... yes I have watched it and I had to recollect it from the vid you posted and it took like watching half of it to realize I have watched it (basically, if they only showed the invisible hand scenes on the bridge between each other, it would have been instant recall instead of the lumbering sad sack moments in the anime).

Hey... decent anime, would maybe re watch it, but needs to be toned down a notch on the sympathy card moments.

True the video doesn't highlight the anime at all lol. Whenever I listen to this song it brings me back lot of memories.

Gotcha, sounds about right. I would probably not enjoy it as much as I used to. I think I wont watch it again and just keep the good memories I have of it.

Great anime, terrible video.

It's a classic and it's been an inspiration in not only anime, but in entertainment as a whole. Even Stranger Things is confirmed to have drawn heavily from Elfen Lied, which should tell you all you need to know about how influential and amazing it is.

Yes, it's a bit weird and it's a bit dated, like many anime from the early 00s, but it's still amazing and imo it holds up. I actually watched it just like a year or two ago, I actually will probably rewatch it again now that I'm thinking about it. Thanks OP.
