STORY: The story was really good. There are a couple parts in it that you might have to fill in the blanks yourself. The story kept me entertained the entire time.

ART: The art was wonderful. I dont mean just the bloody parts either. Altogether, the art of the characters, environment, etc. were really wonderful. The art was probably one of the things that struck me to keep me entertained. What I mean to say is "I dont want the art and characters to be something I dont want to look at." Believe me, I have had this happen before.

SOUND: The music is awesome. ... The intro song "Lillium" is quite a masterpiece. There are several different versions of it throughout Elfen Lied, 4 of them to be exact. The ending song is really awesome as well. It's more of a rock song called "Be Your Girl". There really is'nt a whole lot of music for Elfen Lied, but it is inserted in the Anime in all of the appropriate places ^_^. This also helped to keep me going throughout the series.

CHARACTER: All of the characters were awesome. Especially the main character: Lucy. The character was brilliant especially considering that she had a split personality. You really never knew what to expect from her.

ENJOYMENT: I obviously enjoyed it since I gave it a 10. To be more exact though, I was well focused when watching it. I didnt get bored of it at all. In fact, I think it would be great if they made a second season. If you would like to know more about my enjoyment and so forth you should view my Reccomendation on it as well.

OVERALL: Overall, it was a fantastic Anime. I personally wish it would never have ended. ='( I do reccomend it, but really only for those who are actually mature enough to view it. There is quite a bit of nudity in it, as well as tons of blood and gore. The rating for it is R+. I, in my opinion, completely agree with that. I did laugh on several accounts, and there are tearjerker spots as well. (Only all that can be expected of it.) But I loved it, I own it, and thats that. Lol.

STORY: Overall, the story was pretty good. I find that altogether the story is pretty heartwarming, and pretty easy to understand. One thing that disappointed me was that, in the end, an event takes place, (I wont mention how far towards the end, or who), that really leaves you hanging, mainly because a lot of this is going on during the main story. Other than that the story was great!

ART: The art was alright, I mean the movie was 2003, and this is 2008. There has been a lot of change since then. I give it an 8 because I'm sure they used ... the best of their abilities to make the art as it was.

SOUND: The sound of everything in general was just fine. But I think where Tokyo Godfathers failed, was in the actual music. They attempted to insert music in the movie which was actually very good-if you could hear it. They made voices and other sounds a lot higher than the music. To me it sounded more like a radio playing somewhere in the distance. But in general the sound was good.

CHARACTER: The characters were really good, they all had very well-played emotions. Most importantly of all the fact that one of them was a transvestite was pretty hilarious, (The character himself, not transvestites in general, in case anyone takes offense). The roles that they each played they played very well, and there actions were also entertaining.

ENJOYMENT: I really enjoyed all except the part towards the end which was kind off dissappointing, considering theres a lot about it during the story.

OVERALL: Overall, it was, once again, really good. One thing that I would like to point out however, is the movies rating. I just dont think PG fits its description. Even the TV rating was "Movie/PG-13". And I can easily understand why. They do sware things such as the following: Faggot, Bullshit, Saggy nipples, and some other things as well. So really I would give it a solid rating of "PG-13+"

Le Portrait de Petite Cossette. Where to start.... Well, the storyline is pretty good, but there are several flaws that come with it. The main flaw, is that there are several times where you have to "fill-in-the-blanks" yourself, or in other words, perhaps go back and watch it several times to undertsnad it. Anohter flaw is a lot similar to this is where you might wonder how the main character ends up in a particular place, just out of the blue. The story is actually for the most part quite well made but just with several flaws. The art is, in my opinion, very breath-taking. ... It is much more detailed than other Anime I've watched other than " The Count of Monte Cristo". The sound is probably the best part in my opinion, and I highly reccomend downloading or buying the Soundtrack. (I would give out a particular link but since MyAnimeList has asked me not to, I will do much to oblige them).=) But anyway, the music during each episode goes along so well with the story, keeping you interested the entire way through. The characters are great for the mst part. I did however think that they coud have made Eiri, the main character, sound a lot better with some better dialogue. Cossette is by far the best character in the story, including movements, actions, and dialogue. I enjoyed a lot and reccomend it to anyone. EXCEPT-kids. This is probably the most gothic Anime I have watched, and it is very, very gory and bloody. There is some slight nudity, but nothing too too, inappropriate. Overall it was very good, in fact, it was much better than I thought it would be. If you are into the whole romance anime mixed with some action fighting-for-the-one-you-love-with-gothic style, then by God, this Anime is definitely for you!
