i did too

this is no social crisis

just another tricky day for you

it could of been worse...
i didn't think it filled all of it's potential.

it sucked

one of the bad things is, the anime had a very crappy ending. (besides discarding a lot of important stuff from the manga)

yeah, it the anime had a terrible ending.

I saw the anime first and then read the manga, and it disappointed me how much of the manga they left out. However, this could be because the manga was still production when the anime was being made. It takes a long time to finish a volume of manga, and I don't think the viewers would want to wait if the producers of the anime got completely caught up and had to wait for the new manga to produce more episodes. It could also have been a budget problem, that they didn't have enough money to continue the anime. (There I go being logical, urp.)

I like the manga much better, especially the end. It's the type of ending that rarely any anime/manga could pull off, but it worked in the case of Elfen Lied. I'd do back and read it again, for sure. The only thing that irked me was the art.
