Despite a few turn-offs, it's still my personal favourite over all. It's obviously not for everybody, but I really liked the directing style and the story (later parts, especially). I actually learned quite a bit from it in terms of pseudo directing scenes. (Not to mention that Lucy reminded me of a more brutal version of Lunair, for those who know who I am referring to.)

Taking away the shock factor of excessive gore, nudity and all that, it is basically just an emo romance drama - which, for some reason, I like. Sadly, the fact that its DVD box looked like cartoon porn prevented the insecure me from purchasing it authentically. :x

[But just so you know, the way that the first post is written, it'll probably attract some negative feedbacks of anti-fan-ism or related notes.]

Edit: I recorded my improvised version of EL's Lilium's music box theme a while ago on keyboard with celesta soundfont:

I couldn't bare that episode where they beat that puppy to death. And then she went psycho on them. That was just too much for me. I guess I fufilled Reives prophecy. :s

Oh, that wasn't what I meant. I was referring to people who go against a subject purely because of the fandom portrayed. :>

But the show does have some rather explicit scenes. And in general, I'd recommend 16-18+ to watch it.

it was decent

Great series, but not for everyone. The nudity and gore will probably turn off alot of people. And seeing the afformentioned puppy beaten to death(offscreen) will probably throw even more off.
However, if you can get past that, it's really an enjoyable, although sad, story.

 

[High Hopes]

It's halfway decent. Interesting concept.

Decent but not as good as Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Well I was once addicted to it and made it my school report XD

But I do like Insane Lucy >

 

[DraconicKing]

In my option Elfen Lied is the best Anime.

And Lucy is the coolest.
