and nuditiest 10 minutes of any show I've ever watched, and I'll tell you this: If you live through that, you'll live through the series. The first episode starts off with what is the bloodiest

The first is true, the second is an exaggeration, the third is understandable, and the fourth is so wrong. Some people call it a 'masterpiece', people some call it 'perverted', some people don't know what to say, and some call it 'horrible'. Yet, a huge number of people watch this, knowing (to some extent) what they're going into, and it's one of the more popular and well-rated series here on MAL. A combination that could make many a person turn away.

The opening theme Lilium, which is sung in Ecclesiastical Latin, uses lyrics taken from The Bible, the Renaissance hymn Ave mundi spes Maria, as well as the alchemical compendium Theatrum Chemicum.Įlfen Lied: Infamous for its bloody mess of gore, cruelty and nudity. Colors and patterns resembling Klimt's distinct style were used and characters of the series were drawn to recreate several paintings from the artist’s golden period, including The Kiss (Lovers). The artistic design of both the opening and ending sequences are heavily inspired by the works of Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. In an interview, director Mamoru Kanbe expressed his disappointment in having to 'condense' to story into 13 episodes and felt that more were needed to include significant plot details that would have made the series more emotive. The anime follows the source material through the first 7 volumes, with several alterations to the story, and concludes with an exclusive ending. Edit Background Elfen Lied is based on Lynn Okamoto's seinen manga series of the same name and premiered while the manga was still in publication.
