So I rewatched the first episode and Im suprised at the utter incompetence of the facility.
The facility manages to have vr simulation and cloning technology. And yet the facility mainly equips their guards with mp5s? Where are the specialized anti diclonious weaponry?
Then there are other scenes. In those scenes, the guards stay in place and shoot at lucy, even when shes approaching them. The guards could have slowly walked back while firing at lucy. Or in that one scene where they are reloading, the guards could have walked back WHILE RELOADING.
And then theres the final part of lucy escapes. The guards group up near the entrance that lucy is coming from.
Why didnt they stay far back from that entrance and shoot from there? Thats far smarter than staying near the entrance where lucy can EASILY REACH YOU.
And then comes the ending where lucy reaches the cliff. And in that scene, instead of there being multiple guard sharpshooters theres only one. WHY DID THEY ONLY BRING ONE ANTI TANK RIFLE SHARP SHOOTER. That window COULD FIT TWO AND THREE.
AND WAS THAT REALLY THE ONLY WINDOW THEY COULD SHOOT FROM?
...or even thought about the show, really. Then today, I heard the song Lillium, and within literal seconds, I had chills all over my body and the entire show flew through my psyche like a goddamn train off the rails while the old nun from grade school came back from the dead to materialize a 40lb kettlebell in my stomach.
Some shows just hit different I guess. Not even sure if I want to rewatch it because that was enough of an emotional rollercoaster already lol.
...so uh, this happen to anyone else?
How dare you!
Yes I know a big reason Diclonius go bad is due to bad living conditions or etc.
But even if they were raised in a safe and good environment, how would it not go badly? Diclonius gain their vectors when they are very young. This situation is a guarantee for disaster.
Since even if pink haired people were raised in a good environment, there would still be incidents. A very young child would be prone to have temper tantrums and other forms of immaturity. They would also not have developed brains to understand the consequences of their actions. Nor would they have experience to control their vectors well.
Im just imagining scenarios where a very young diclionious has a temper tantrum and then accidentally uses their vectors in a way that hurts and kills their parents.
So I've been wanting to get this as high quality image to put it as a big canvas wall print for my room: Anyone have a larger and high quality picture, and possibly someone who could do the wall print?
mr rogers found and adopted lucy, before the dog incident.
Elfen Lied was the very first anime I ever watched. Back in 2014, I snuck off to watch it on my own after seeing my older sister watching it. From that moment, my love for anime skyrocketed, and my watchlist grew longer and longer. I ranked Elfen Lied as the only 10 on my list, vowing never to rewatch it out of fear it wouldn’t live up to my memories. Unfortunately, I was right.
When I bought the Figurama Lucy, I figured that if I was going to spend that much money, I owed it a proper rewatch. This time around, I noticed things I had completely missed before, like the weird dynamic between Kouta and Yuka. I ultimately stopped watching after the scene where Lucy tears Nana apart—it just didn’t hit the same way it did back then.
I get anime, especially the older stuff, has those weird dynamics and it didn’t bother me all too much. It’s just the anime itself just seems like its only plot points are gore and tits.
I have the entire manga set, is it any better?
(I will say the opening still has my heart! I’ll also try to finish it and see if it gets better in time.)
lol yes a huge mix of emotions my lord.
Awesome anime 🔥
How do you guys think the Japanese public and the world at large, would react upon learning the truth? That for the past decade, the Japanese government has been hiding the existence of psychic mutants, murdering infants, sterilising young men, taking babies away to be raised as test subjects, and keeping dozens upon dozens of young girls in inhumane conditions while subjecting them to torturous experiments.
For the sake of the scenario, it's not just the basic facts that have been leaked. There's a mountain of proof. Entire documents detailing test results, logistics, monetary expenditure, and even video recordings. It's the story of the century, and it's a goddamn nightmare.
So im confused, couldnt they have used brain or other surgery to remove the powers? If Diclonius were that dangerous then why didnt someone say use surgery to remove the powers?
(does the magna reveal why someone didnt say that? Did I miss something important in the anime that would answer the question?)
What strategies will you do? Or will you just give up?
(also lucy cant kill you because kouta convinced lucy to not kill you)
Note this is the second millenium big e. So he hasnt become the great crusade emperor yet.
