Lucy's escape in the first episode of Elfen Lied is actually great. The meme about why this show is overall not good is one of /a/'s great shames.
The pacing of the series is its great flaw, btw.

Manga.

>>377994649
iirc Lucy dissapears (cant remember if she went to the island to end some shit or was fighting the crippled girl) but after credits theres a glimpse of her shadow on that house.
Never read the manga but i heard she fights a whole army of her species at the end.

The manga story is different and more convoluted. It wasn't done when the animu aired.

>>377994941
In the manga, her vectors become large it could encompass the entire planet but it uses too much energy and her body begins to fall apart. After the whole event is finished she is just a puddle on the ground melting away. She then tells the main boy character to end her suffering by shooting her in the head. Few years later the main boy character and his cousin are at some park together and see to girls that look exactly like Lucy, they even have the horns, the end.

It felt so good we Lucy killed all those kids, no offense those mother fuckers deserved it, I', glad she killed that traitorous bitch that played like she was Lucy's friend only to tell those boys about that dog. Fuck them all that dog didn't deserve that.

In the fanfiction I read after the end of the anime, she comes back to the house and says she can control her power and bloodlust now and stays with the MC forever

>>377995686>>377995497


I was kind of thrown off by her "not?" friend?

So like did she intend / was totally fine with the boys killing the little puppy? I vaguely recall she was aghast at first but right before Lucy went MAXIMUM MURDER mode she was shown sadistically smiling. I don't remember if Lucy was imagining it or if she was truly a bitch

>>377995686
*when
Get it together dammit.

>>377995998
I think she was just acting like Lucy's friend just so she could watch her suffer, then she acted like it wasn't her fault and Lucy saw through her bullshit and killed her along with those other kids.

The first Drakengard and Drakengard 3 were really edgy. But they were still fun.

The great flaw is how it completely butchers its source material with its cop-out early ending. The anime ends just before where the manga starts to really get interesting.

>>377994649
The anime cuts off with an open (to interpretation) ending where Lucy leaves and may or may not have come back later.

she "dies", later, someone knocks on the MC door at the end and at the same time the music box Lucy always had suddendly stops. it's left to the audiences interpretation.

on the Manga, she dies and sometime later the MC sees 2 little girls that are implied to be reincarnations of Lucy and Nyu. Pic related.

never got why most of /a/ hates the series, it's not a masterpiece but it was ok and with alot of feels, even if it comes out as edgy sometimes. Shit taste I guess.

It's the combination of edginess for the sake of edginess, and badly drawn gore which puts people off.

The source material was not finished, which is why the changes were made, and why the anime was ultimately a dud as an independent work, because it was structured poorly.

>>377993505
Probably Lisa.

>>377996939
I really don't understand why they never either make the anime after like 2 to 3 arcs are finished like 30 to 40 chapters in or just make the anime series when the manga is finished because many anime seem to fall into this problem.

>>377996560
>never got why most of /a/ hates the series
Undertale syndrome. Elfen Lied is babbys first weird anime (ie something not quite as normie as your Bebops and your Akiras) and saw obscene popularity and praise for its "depth" among the community for a few years after its release.

Regardless of whether the show itself is good or bad, this annoyed people and made it inherently controversial. Like Undertale here in recent times.

>>377996560
>>377996876
Gonna guess at the time, every weeb was obsessed with the show because of the gore and "nyu is so kawaii nyaa >w<" and nobody wants to remember that phase again.

I recall the implication is that the girl unintentionally revealed the dog, but in the end was secretly happy that there was someone suffering more than her. She may have been another victim of bullying, who knows.

The manga covers a lot more, but then again it has diaper girl so who the fuck cares.

Well, Gantz has a lot of chapters full of dread. It build up a nice atmosphere of suspense with all the possible theories people had for what the fuck was going on, and they make you care about the characters.

Pic is from Seraphic Blue, which is on Par with Lisa's Edginess, and a critically acclaimed RPG Maker game in Japan. Character in picture related has a real temperament problem and his job as a "Devil Sweeper" allows him to vent, to the point he brutally tortures his target before killing.

>Also, some aspects of Catastrophe were really well done.
Yeah, lots of people shit on it but I thought it was ok, just not as good as Osaka. The Phase 3 Aliens were pretty meh, they were only a threat because they were giants. Osaka Aliens looked cool as fuck, specially the Tengu and the Inugami after they transformed.

That is interesting. I've read only the first eight or nine books or so (up till Kaworu appears) and the manga was largely better or just as good as the anime. It was visually brilliant (Sadamoto is a freaking genius of manga), a lot of relationships were more fleshed out (Rei acts much more consistently and her relathinship with Shinji feels far more natural), there was more iconic images of the Eva's etc... it skipped a lot of the dead weight too. In generally, I liked it, felt like it was just a refinement of the original. But again, I stopped reading around 2010 or so.

>>378001317
>the idiot writing it had Gendo manifest telekinesis after absorbing the adam embryo and went full 'Join me, Shinji, and we can rule together as Vader and Luke'
That does sound fucking retarded.
Sounds like it goes full on mental. Shame, it started off pretty damn good.

>>378001461
>but the plot if overly convoluted and makes very little sense without lots of ''fan guesses'' to fill in the plot holes...
It's not actually that convoluted, and most of the shit is more-or-less explained, at least if we consider the (cannon, officially) GoS data.
That said, it's full of actual plotholes and narratively inconsistent. It mashes psychological, mythological, speculative and symbolic narratives together into one big giant mess: sometimes it works, but sometimes the different types of storytelling just don't work together and create awkward or inconsistent or self-contradictory moments.

I still love the damn thing, but there is a LOT to criticize about the show.

I gave a bit of Dorohedoro a read. From the visuals I expected this edgy disgusting gore dripping horror.

Instead it's a sweet sentimental story of friendship and sexual tension and people making due with a poor lot in life with a smile and a struggle with some gore-dripping.

>>378003073
That only makes the anime worse. The manga has a lot of detail, in the anime a lot of moments are pretty much a slide show but without all the detail. Still an enjoyable adaptation though.

>>378003232
To be honest, if you can get past the very low production values, the TV series is by far the best thing Hellsing has ever produced. The manga is fine for first two chapters, but it goes full on retarded with the introduction of Nazies: Hellsing Ultimate just follows the manga and falls into the same trapping "who gives a fuck" realms.

The TV series, as cheap as the animation and as weak as the main storyline is, is in general the most stylish and never goes full retarded (well, for an Anime).

Elfen Lied was fucked up as a story. Basically mutants being born but eventually would kill you or something. I cant fucking remember. The artist and the story were shit.

Yeah, the soundtrack was pretty damn great. Easily 40% of what made the show good. There was something distinctly British about it too, which I just liked. And so stylish. For a really, really low-budgeted show with no idea what to do with the story and characters (remember, the whole damn show was basically made and based on the first TWO books of the manga) it all worked out surprisingly well.

They were desperately struggling to buy the rights/make the show before the manga becomes really popular to cash in on it early, and they ended up having better idea what to do with it than the original author had.

>>378004726
>Blood-C is an abomination. The exception
Don't worry, I had watched/read thousands of hours of anime, manga, japanese cinema and literature, so I know this isn't complete standard. BUT:
You also have Elfen Lied, Another, Tokyo Ghoul. In cinema you have works of Takashi Mike. In literature Ryu Murakami. You have guro as an entire genre of essentially pornography.

The IS a weird underlying obsession with insane cruelty and gore going through the society. And I still haven't figured out if it's because they simply are willing to indulge it as a niche "fetish" (much like they have no problem indulging pedophilia on a fictional level too), or if it's symptomatic of something more fucked up.
>>378004818
Yep. If you want to tell me that Elfen Lied is a horror, go ahead. I think that is fucking laughable argument though. It's not about exploiting fear.

All I found looking into it was Saya recovering some memories that hinted that she had fought chiropterans (different from the elder burns or whatever that she fights in blood-C) in the past, but that was an answer based on the show, I'm hoping that's all there is to it since like I said, I actually kinda like Blood+, and relating this horrible shit to it kinda taints it for me.

Most people seem confident it's not a continuation, but more a retelling/reframing of the original premise.

>that doesn't understand conventions or intention behind the horror genre,
Neither Elfen Lied nor Icchi the Killer nor In Miso Soup nor Blood- C nor Attack on Titan are horrors to begin with, kiddo. Guro art is not horror either. It's actually derived from the word "gurotesque", and very specifically separated from horror (even body horror) because it's intention is not to instill sense of fear or threat: but the marvelous, weird, disgusting or fascinating nature of gore.
Your little argument completely falls apart on very first step. But sure, please tell me how I'm the one uneducated ignorant.

>>378006337
Pretty entertaining but it's pretty obvious the mangaka writes himself into a corner often so writing isn't too smart sometimes but it's always filled with crazy and unexpected situations in the good sense.
Part 3 is a big departure from the first two and more formulaic so maybe you won't like it too much.

The only good thing about the anime is the opening and mild improvements to the borderline amateurish art of the manga's first half.
The manga is kind of hit or miss, having overt themes of violence and suffering that can be a bit taxing, but that's kinda the schtick. The mythological/religious aspects that are coupled with scifi elements are sort of interesting and reminiscent of NGE, but less effective, even though both are ultimately extraneous. Elfen Lied has some interesting/engaging ideas and moments (particularly the notion of being in love with your family's murderer), but suffers in execution. Perhaps if the mangaka had a bit more experience under his belt or worked with a decent writer, it could have been a great piece of fiction.

The show sold nothing and the same goes for the movie. It got made because the japanese government funded it to support animators and CLAMP thought this was an idea worth investing into.

>Why the fuck are there people who like this cancer, better yet why even make this shit.
Again, it seems to me like something very much culture-specific, because it pops up across all of their media quite reliably.

>>378007060
I just correctly described what guro is (you don't seem to be actually providing any kind of counterargument to it either), never claimed that Blood-C is Guro (only claimed that guro is related to the same fascination with gore and suffering as Blood-C seems to display) and I've never been to /a/ in my life.
Look, I see what you are doing here: you are really, really desperately fishing for the replies, but the question I need to ask is:

What exactly went so wrong with your life that at some point, you figured this is the thing you should be doing? Humilliating yourself in public desperately in order to be a minor annoyance to people? And continuing to do so even if they clearly show they aren't really taking you seriously to begin with?

This is kinda self-defeating, right? I mean if this is about having even the slightest control over people (like trolling used to be), it completely loses any purpose if they tell you they know what you are doing, does it not?

Or is it literally just the reply? The fact that somebody acknowledges your existence? Because if THAT is what this is about, I mean: damn. How about voluteering instead?

Let's get a consensus on this.

Please, could you folks indulge us here for a second?

And while we are at it: how many of you would call Elfen Lied, or Icchi the Killer "horror"?

It's hard for me to even apply a genre to Blood-C outside of shit.

But I guess fantasy-action, gore, 'horror elements', but that's kinda just them trying to stuff unease about the gore into it.

Ichi the Killer was violence porn. Technically the genres listed for it do oftentimes include Horror, but it's more like they just couldn't find a proper place to actually put it inside standard genre guidelines. Comedy, thriller, drama, crime, and action pop up for it too.

Elfen Lied is fantasy, action, drama - can't say it tried too hard to sell itself as horror, though again it pops up when you look it up.

could you please stop your bitchfight? you two forgot the other problem with Blood-C:

LOL NO, there was a whole lot of (gory) NOTHING until later they reveal that it was ALL A LIE.retarded justifications because YES that left all with a bad taste of time lost watching this shit.
Want more answers? Buy the movie ticket my goyim!
why CLAMP got involved in this shit?

>>378007856
Icchi was more torture porn and gore than average horror film. It has some similarities with the genre but it's very different at the end of the day.
Elfen Lied had a few horror scenes like the first scene but again most of the package is different and more focused on the violence than the feelings that anticipate it.
Haven't seen Blood C but it looks like it puts more emphasis on the gore itself than the ingredients of horror
>>378008038
I always hated how that character looked in that art style, he always looked like a teenager growing facial hair for the first time or something.

>>378007958
I did not want to get that deep into it, but the real origin of the term "guro" comes from an actual artistic movement that existed in Japanese avantgarde artistic circles around 1920-1930 (before the government cracked down on it hard) called "Ero-guro-non": shortage of the words "Erotic, grotesque, nonsense (which the Japanese conflate with therm "absurd" used in western artistic and philosophical convention).

>>378008294
>>378008595
Thanks for the replys, folks. My question was really about intuition: are those works aimed at achieving catharsis through fear? Because that is how horror is conventionally defined. Japan has a HUGE horror tradition that seems to stretch all the way back to around 9th century or later, and to me at least, it always seems like it's based on very different principles than those works.

>>378008519
>could you please stop your bitchfight? you two forgot the other problem with Blood-C:
While those complaints about Blood-C seems legit (hard to judge for me what I did not watch it), I don't think that was what the argument was about.

>>378008807
Oh yeah, when you think of how horror films (or the genre in general) operate, no none of those three examples fit almost at all. They at most attempt to evoke that feeling in very minor ways, but are not focused on it in the slightest. The reason the word even pops up for them is just that they don't fit the very limited genre descriptors we generally use.

Story time

>>378008820
Clamp also once made a now-forgotten anime/manga series/movies called X (or X/1999). I never got more than a few minutes into any of those works, but as far as I gathered it's also incredibly silly and edgy.

It's possible that Clamp, being well known for being one of the first woman-only and extremely shojo-oriented studios renowned for their absurdly cutish, over-designed art style just kinda wanted to break the stereotypes of being "just girly" studio.

That said, anti-climatic killing off characters is something that (while I rarely enjoy it as a part of audience), I entirely understand from a narrative standpoint, especially in Japanese (pop-culture) context.

>>378009047
Yeah. That was more-or-less what I was trying to get at: we classify it as horror because we automatically connect gore with horror: we are rarely seeing it outside of horror (or horror-parody) genre. I mean: it does pop-up sometimes in war stories and thrillers, but in the later it is again often in thrillers inspired by horror sensibilities.

Though the more I think about it, the more examples defeating this point I can think off. gore in Saving Ryan, in Seven, in The Cell, arguably in fucking Rambo movies does pop up in mind when I think about it. I still think it's not nearly as prominent and as weirdly context-less as it is in Japanese culture. Also, the Cell was entirely based on Silent Hill, so that is also worth keeping in mind.

Again, western classification may simply be wrong on this, because of what is discussed in >>378009361
So far everyone who has seen it agreed that while they use the word "horror" for elements of it (exclusively in relation to the gore), nobody percieves it as an actual horror type story, as it does not actually provide catharsis in fear: merely uses gore for shock value.

>you can read moon, right, low iq pedophile?

OK, miss-spelled that: ero-guro-nan. The ("o" should have not been there because Japs spell phonetically in waseigo's.
It also is sometimes labeled entirely ero-guro without the nansensu completely, too. All three are just different variations of same term for the same movement.

Desperately clining to slightly different fucking spellings and naming conventions, do you actually have an actual arugment here? You screamed how everybody is wrong about what guro is and where it comes from. But we had been saying that it's derived from that particular movement, and from the word "gurotesque" from the start. So what were you so outraged about?

We were RIGHT. And we were clearly aware of it's origin in that artistic movement. And the definitions I've provided, from the start, were in line with that movement and based on the awareness and knowledge of it.

So what the fuck was your point this whole time? Were you just waiting to brag about the fact you know the existence of that movement? And we just took that opportunity away from you, you poor thing!

>you mean your retarded samefagging
OK, so you have no argument here either.

>yes you do
Why? Blood- C winning the Reaper Award, which I pressume is your entire argument (as Reaper is traditionally awared to horror works) does not require knowing Japanese.
But again, the argument might be here that we don't know how to classify it. Japs borrow our classification (at least partially) so they will reflect the same "we don't have a genre label for it, it features supernatural and gore, which in western tradition are almost universally SECONDARY STAPLES of a horror genre, so let's just call it that for lack of better terminology.

Except in reality, this is just mislabeling: gore and supernatural are not necessary conditions of horror: catharsis in fear is. And Blood- C does not actually feature that at all.

Any actual argument you might have against this claim?

>>378009843
Different guy, but let's pursue this from a western angle since I'm not all that familiar with guro as a term. And I know we're flexing mediums here but I feel the subject matter we're discussing has enough in common with film for it work.

Horror as a film genre isn't about the end result of death, but more the fear/terror and harried feelings from the threat of such. It generally excels more as a genre when it *doesn't* blow its load with gore too early.

Splatter films are considered a sub-genre of horror and more focus on the end result, generally neglecting the build-up and the tension/fear that quality horror films try to cultivate. Instead they're often associated with comedy, like splatstick - that's why Ichi the Killer is put into the genres of horror and comedy, two genres that are generally pretty mutually exclusive.

And I think that's how most of us would classify the 'horror' that pops up in the examples listed (Elfen Lied, Blood-C, Ichi the Killer), eminently focused on the end-result rather than the build-up. You would probably put it near horror films on the shelf, but you'd clearly think of it differently.

>>378010250
>>378010296
It's dark but not the juvenile type of dark associated with edgy. It's more lovecraftian than Shadow the hedgehog or DmC which is what edgy is in this place.

>>378009601
The best way to write an interesting story is to combine the ideas from a crazy/immature person with the actual plot writing from somebody who usually can't think of anything to write about.
People who come up with the edgiest material can never write properly.

>>378011210
Again, different asshole, and Blood-C is garbage. If you'd call the multiple scenes depicting monsters dismembering/mutilating schoolgirls/townspeople are anything other than gore porn, you've got some interesting issues that go beyond your inability to capitalize, spell, properly use punctuation, or formulate a coherent argument.

Though at least
>building unease between the seemingly contradictory worlds that saya inhabits, which culminates in the horrifying twist at the end
shows you're at least willing to say something about the subject being discussed. I guess that's a start.

And to be clear, I don't disagree with that take on Blood-C, that was clearly the goal, but it had a fuck ton of needless gore-porn that detracted from it. I don't care what sort of silly awards it's apparently won.

>>378011546
Nobody thinks Blood-C is smart.

>>378011195

>>378011273
>not as easy as it would be for you to read it if your iq had three digits in it
I did read. You point, as stated here:
>>378007060
>considering you don't know what guro is,
and here:
>>378007626
>no, you didn't correctly describe what guro is you low iq pedophile.
Was that I don't know what it is. Except I correctly described it, down to linking it correctly to the original artistic movement. So that point is clearly invalid.
As for your other point:
>>378007060
>and (you) think that blood-c is guro,
I've already cleared out this in both:
>>378007373
>(I only claimed that guro is related to the same fascination with gore and suffering as Blood-C seems to display)
and the original
>>378005335
>You also have Elfen Lied, Another, Tokyo Ghoul. In cinema you have works of Takashi Mike. In literature Ryu Murakami. You have guro as an entire genre of essentially pornography.

So yeah: what little has been stated as a "point" has been clearly disproven.
So I wonder what you think you point is now, since the two originally stated ones were clearly wrong, yet you are still acting as if you were not wrong.

>>378011498
Yeah those two cuties. I wish there was more art with them since I love how they look. Doubt I'll read the manga though since I bet they die and I hate seeing things I consider cute suffering.

Some hambeasts do but those don't count as human desu.

>>378011652
no you had no idea what guro was, you incorrectly associated it with blood-c, you incorrectly identified the artistic movement even after you googled it, and you repeatedly misidentify the genre of blood-c
all of which would have been easy for you to remedy if you spent more time learning about subjects than posting conspiracy theories and replying to yourself
of course if you could read moon you could have easily identified the genre of the work or look at public statements regarding the work
or you could have watched it and correctly identified the genre, but then that would have really eaten into your loli jerkoff sessions

Also already addressed, which you failed to recognize.

Again, I understand the desperate need for attention you see here, probably mixed with you being genuinely butthurt because people talk about something you consider yourself an "expert" on and being more educated than you are, taking away that senses of superiority away: but right now you are staring at undeniable, objective proof of you being wrong. And this is no longer trolling or shitposting: it's just you going into realms of ACTUAL insanity. Even the worst shitposters know better than to do that, because it's this point where they know that that nobody can actually take them seriously anymore, completely defeating the point.
