Personally, I really liked Elfen Lied. As for Lucy, it makes sense. She's been fucked over since childhood, turning her into a murderous psychopath with a split personality disorder. And yeah, I fully admit, the love drama between the two cousins was kind of meh, but the flashbacks to Lucy's childhood are great and created one of the most iconic scenes in anime. The part with the dog. As for the voice acting, yeah, this is one show where the sub is a lot better than the dub. Except for Lucy, none of the vas are all that good.

And finally, for the ending theme, it's supposed to be ironic. A happy love song for Lucy and Kouta. It is sad when you know their backstory.
Well, I finished it a couple of days ago, and tbh, the flashbacks and the scenes with #35 were the only parts I really enjoyed. Lucy herself (not Nyu) is awesome and I really liked her, however I completely hated most of the other "main" characters. I thought the story itself was rather meh, and that it would've been better had they just waited and stuck with the manga ending rather than coming up with their own, original ending.

And the ending...
Elfen Lied spoilers

That is one problem with the series, it kind of got rushed since it was only thirteen episodes. The manga, from what I hear, was a lot better in fleshing out all the details and better with the ending.

Yup. Hope Third Season comes out soon.
Also Fairy Tail is pretty good. Second OP sucks though.

So, Toonami started Soul Eater last week. The first episode was pretty good and I like the team of Maka and Evans.

I loved Soul Eater... up until the last episode.

Then no. Never again.

I think I did hear someone say that it has a terrible ending. But it looks okay.

I think the worst anime on there is on Toonami is Tenchi Muyo GXP. It getting to the point as madness.

That series has long been over with. Watched it a couple times myself. The voice dubbing for a few characters is horrible, but overall, it entertains me, if nothing else. Also, it's a continuation of Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki.

Ahh Tenchi Muyo, I remember watching that on Toonami growing up, was a lot of fun. I remember this weird movie where he goes to Tokyo and falls in love with this girl but she ends up being like a robot or something? I don't remember, had to be over ten years ago now. Shit time really flies.

Totally random, but it always seems like the "aggressive" ladies in harem animes just end up getting dumped on, like Ryoko in Tenchi Muyo and (to a lesser extent) Urd in Ah! My Goddess.

Watched Katanagatari today. Deals with some chick who asks some swordless swordman to help her gather some 12 blades for some government.

It wasn't too bad, in fact I think it was pretty good. But then it was bad.

The plot, even though the basis feels a little weak, was alright, without being overly awesome. The art and animation are both pretty strong. The characters are alright as well. And I loved the music (not talking about OP/ED cause I never listen to them).

I guess for those who dislike animes where people keep talking and talking, it's a pretty awful anime, cause they do talk a lot. But personnally, I don't mind it.

SO WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN AND RUIN THE SERIES FOR ME ?

Fucking ending is what happened.


Spoiler: click to toggle



(tl;dr) So in conclusion, the series starts very strong, is pretty good all the way up until episode 11 where everything goes apeshit. Never thought that a show that I absolutely enjoyed could be ruined in a matter of 2 episodes.
Should you watch it ? If you don't mind awful endings that make little to no sense at all, sure, go for it. Otherwise, screw it.

If you're into light novel based high school dramas, they've got like 1,000,000,000 animes for you.
