To say the least Elfen Lied comes fresh off the press with its own unique bounce though comprable to other anime this series comes with its own "fragrance" bounding forward with the gore factor of personal long time favourate Berserk and holding steady with the sexual oquardness and comedy of Chobits.

The series takes its own slapstick comedy preformance wich loosely resembles that of the popular hit "evil dead 2" drowning the audience in a scene of sheer unadulterated horror and tragety with quick belts of comic relief to lift the spirits or to put the characters into tense positions.

Though a very addicive story, the series is cut short at only 13 episodes possibly one of its only drawbacks in my opinion.
