OK finished Elfen Lied now... It was certainly not bad. It was quite gory, but at no point in time did I have goosebumps, watery eyes or deep enthusiasm for the characters. Tbh. I've enjoyed Gurren Lagann more, the characters were much more likable. But I understand that Elfen Lied was meant mostly as a social commentary than entertainment, so it wasn't bad. Gonna see if I can warm up to the "The Melancholy of ..." thing.
