I have been a fan of Elfen Lied quite a while now, I would have to say it is in my top 5 of favorite watched anime. It’s opening song “Lilium” was also one I held close to my heart, and still do to this day. Why, I have even said I want the song played at my funeral. Emo of me no? It is a quite beautiful song and Mr. David Tidyman at St. Angela Merici Parish deems it so as well. He played it via an organ during a mass at that church on August 16, 2009, and one week earlier, he played it during communion. After the break I included Mr. David Tidyman’s version played on the organ with the original from Elfen Lied’s Opening Theme. They both brought a tear to my eye and I hope you will enjoy them to.

1. Chobits

Chobits revolves an alternate reality where robots and humans coexist, we are actually closer to this reality nowadays then we think! The robots in this series are called persacoms and they help humans in their day to day errands. Some happen to be maids, nurses, hand held devices as well as companions and lovers. There was a special persacom named (Chi) , that was thrown away onto the street. A poor college boy  from the country named (Hideki) finds her, makes her his own, boots her up in a peculiar way and takes care of her at his home. Chi you later find out is no ordinary persacom, she is one without a disk and is programmed to have human emotions , the main one being love. This anime is filled with laughter, drama, and  romance. Could a human really fall in love with a persacom? Why don’t you find out! This was one of the first animes that hooked  me in to the otaku world and still one of my favorites. That is why it is number 1!

2. Death Note

Death note could have easily been the first on my list, it was a very close call. The story revolves  around Light, a college student who finds a notebook lying on the ground coined “Death Note”. He “reluctantly” picks it up and that is when havoc ensues! Light can basically  write anyone’s name down in the book with his or her face in mind and kill him or her off with the jot of a pen. Later on it becomes a whole moral issue on who he kills, why and a very entertaining cat and mouse game between Light and a detective names L. Think of CSI and Law & Order multiplied by a thousand. It is one of the most exciting intellectual dramas I have encountered and extremely recommended!

Can’t get enough of Elfen Lied’s Nyuu/Lucy? Well… I have good news and bad news. Are you ready? Good news is that hobbywave.com had an exclusive Nyuu/Lucy figure but the bad news is, that it is sold out. I still would like to share it with you though because it was pretty neat and I cannot find another Lucy/Nyuu figure anywhere. If you do not know why I say Nyuu/Lucy, it  is because the character has multiple personalities. As you can see the figure has interchangeable faces like the ever so popular Nendoroids and her dandy little helmet included! Who knows maybe they will get more in stock. I can see these babies flying like hot cakes! Now riddle me this do you prefer the evil Lucy face pictured above or the sweet and innocent Nyuu face?

Post 12: 13 Posts on Friday The 13th

If you love the goriest of the gore, violence, nudity and torment then  Elfen Lied is the anime of choice for you.

Basically it is a cross between  Fight Club, Friday the 13th and any movie you can think of where the main character  becomes evil and demented because of the way she is treated and  tormented by others.

It revolves on an evolved form of Humans named Diclonius, Unlike normal human beings they have cat like horns on the type of their heads and vectors ( 2 extra invisible limbs) that can basically rip apart any living thing limb from limb.
