| What do you think of the ending of Elfen Lied? |
| I liked the ending to the anime I think as I could believe that Nyuu was still alive ^^ The ending of the Manga made me sad but i still like it :) |

| I really liked the ending, although, as stated before, it was sad. A second season would be nice, although I doubt it'll happen. |

| Greetings. I just joined this club because I believe Elfen Lied is the most powerful, tragic, emotional, heartrending, heartwarming, exciting, loving anime I have ever seen. I can't even listen to the opening theme without tearing up. OK. Having said that I would like to comment on the ending, keeping in mind that I am referring to the anime, NOT the manga. Didn't read the manga and the anime needs to stand alone because it is different from the manga. The real, final, happy ending to Elfen Lied! Based on several viewings. A lot of confusion about the conclusion of Elfen Lied has been expressed in this forum. I will clear up the confusion. The basic point of this story is about the importance of Family, Compassion, Love and Forgiveness. Yuka and Kouta are the Mother and Father of the group and Mayu, Nana, and Lucy/Nyu are the children. The children have never been in a loving family group before. Lucy didn’t die! That was her silhouetted at the entrance returning to her new family. She was saved by Kouta’s forgiveness and love. She had returned after destroying all the people who wanted to hunt her and Nana down and kill them. This was the only thing she could do to save her new family who would never be safe otherwise. What about Kouta and Lucy? Don’t they love each other? Yes, but as a Father loves his Daughter! There would always be the underlying issue of Lucy killing Kouta’s father and sister to make sexual love possible. Lucy knows this and is happy to be forgiven, accepted and loved as a family member. Here are a few more observations and speculations. Kouta and Yuka will get married. 1st cousins get married all the time. It is legal in the USA, Japan and most other countries, IT IS NOT INCEST. The clock suddenly working symbolizes Lucy has fixed herself by merging the Nyu part of herself and is no longer a murdering mutant. Lucys horns. They were what prevented her from blending into society and being accepted. When they were shot off it would allow her to appear normal. There you have it, Happy Ending!!!! Feel free to comment yea or nay. |
| It's incest, no matter if it's legal or not :L I really enjoyed the ending, but I was disappointed in it! I wanted a REAL happy ending... where Kouta and Lucy got together, maybe Yuka dying (I hated her. She just screwed everything up and got angry for no reason.), and MAYBE Mariko and Nana having a mini family with their 'Dad' (but then I think the ending would lack substance, so i'm happy with that, even though I was screaming as I watched it "NOOOO! WHY CAN'T YOU ALL BE FRIIEEENDDS!"). Yeah, that's just my take :L Hi btw. |
