To start yet another discussion... I finished Elfen Lied yesterday and was.. pretty underwhelmed considering how praised and loved it is. It was only the anime, though, but from what I understand the differences aren't as grating as with other shows (?)...
It wasn't bad but... most of the characters were not that likeable, nothing was especially well done and overall the whole "humans are bastards" thing was much too shallow for my taste...



on another note: While I've not had any contact with the show, I think Twelve Kingdoms is popular enough to warrant a title for the next thread.
