@@edwinbruckner4752 I am the same way, especially with shows where there is a heavy plot. Now that I think back to the anime's plot, I feel like there are similarities between Elfen Lied and Stranger Things. I'm thinking more of the characters with their supernatural abilities and how the government is using it to their advantage. Then looked I it up and apparently Elfen Lied was one of the primary inspirations of Eleven in Stranger Things. Totally blew my mind and makes me kind of sad because Elfen lied isn't as popular and not a lot of people would have caught noticed (imo).

When Netflix did have this anime up, I was in elementary school at the time. I never forgotten the emotions or impacted it left me, im 20 an still appreciate this anime. Thank you Elfen Lied, lilium for expressing the pain that shatters the soul and beauty that makes u feel at peace.

Inuyasha was my very first anime. I’d watch it on tv on Saturdays since I was about 3-4. Im 25 now and it’s still one of my favourite animes of all time. I loved the mangas as a kid too. I used to pretend to be inuyasha and kagome when I’d play. Of course at that age I didn’t comprehend a lot of the more mature themes of the anime, but I think I’d consider it a decent all ages anime although some scenes were very eerie and slightly frightening for me as a kid, but I was a fan of horror movies.

The manga is one of my favorites, this theme still gives me chills despite the anime adaptation essentially only telling a *very* abbreviated first half of the entire story. A good friend of mine and I were on a High School music trip and we started singing a duet of Lilium on our tour bus. Our music teacher was pretty struck by the beauty of the piece and it’s still a memory my friend and I both share and cherish to this day.

In a sense you have the opportunity to do so. The story of her suffering is not unique. You are surrounded by a lot of people who suffer and crave at least a little love. If you are brave enough, change someone's fate and give them relief from the endless nightmare of reality.

This Anime left me in tears, Broken, Hope, love and Despair in the whole series. I still love it overall with its serious tones. I've seen the Anime and the Manga multiple times.

I watched this anime when I was in middle school. The thing that stuck to me the most is the puppy and when Lucy realized that the humans are bullying her because she is not human, but they act like a monster themselves

First anime I’ve ever watched at 9 years old . I’m 29 . And I still get the same feeling everytime I hear this song . This made my childhood. ❤️ Lucy

It brings back some memories. How nostalgic. I still want to save that little puppy.

Still don't know how I feel about this. It's definitely touching, though - the anime and the song. It does capture something, not sure what exactly. I would describe it as the feeling, mostly the main male character would have, of realizing you lost a huge part of your life (meaning friends, memories, relationships) and something beautiful, at least for you, and horrific at the same time in it.

To be fair it’s cuz I was like 5 when it aired so I experienced it pretty young but rewatching it as an adult is a whole other experience. I think lots of people will watch something as a kid and then not again, but as kids we overlook and are unable to comprehend so many important details of such mature media, so I always try to go back and rematch it as an adult. I’ve always found that the story hits a million times harder years later because I don’t miss so many key pieces of the stories.

I love it for various reasons, such as the dark themes, the internal struggle of Kaede/ Lucy, the concept of the diclonus, the concept of a broken family type idea, the symbolism and some of the characters. There's more reasons but I'd rather keep my opinion short. I agree, characters act dumb and Lilium is overused but a lot of media does stuff like that .. even popular franchises have characters who do dumb decisions continually. I honestly believe a proper reboot is needed to complete the full story, make unlikable characters likeable and improve base story building. Still my favorite anime overall despite issues it has, with some being it's just an older anime imo.
