This was the most beautifully melancholic anime that I had ever watched. I wanted to cry, I did. I held back, but I still teared up. Such a haunting melody.....
i love this song and i love elfen lied it was just amazing and if your think its just a bunch of nudity and violence your dead wrong and u need to take another look at the anime and your self R.I.P Nyu/Lucy you will be missed :'(
@NatNizaki Well I heard that the Clock represented Nyu and the music box represented Lucy and when the Music box stopped, it meant Lucy died and when the Clock started it means Nyu has awaken.
i love this song so much because its just so beautiful but it brings back such terrible memories. memories that depress me so much, im just glad my friends are here for me
this song is one of the best songs i have ever heard. the anime was brutal and beautiful, sad and happy, it was a very good show, i loved every second of it. the nudity was nice, but it was not used in a manner one was asociate with sex. it was used liek it was supposed to be, in the bath tub or when changing clothes. it had nothing to do with sex. back to the song, lol. this song is very beauitful and very sad. its perfect for the anime, even if it has nothing to do with it, lol.
People who watch this for the nudity or criticize it for the content should shut their mouths and just watch and listen to the beauty of this one song to know what emotion comes out it.
@tsiougos in this day and age thats really nothing when it comes to gore, and if it wasn't as gory as it is then it really wouldn't be all to special would it?
@tsiougos im not 13 thats the other person im 21 and it honestly the one anime of its kind i mean their stuff with gore in it but nothing to the extent of this anime and it has allot of strong emotions attached to it
@sentinel9100 well i dont know about emotions cause i havent watched it. For me the best is Deathnote not because everyone was watching it. But because it is SO SO SO SMART!!!!
I love this anime. But it was a bit sad that Kurama and Mariko died... But they can be with Mariko's mom, at least :) But... What happened to Lucy? I know she went back to fix the old clock, but after that...?
@Seydikun To be 13 and to say it like that.. it's.. it's beautiful. Thankfully I know you're 50 years old and sitting at home in your boxers eating chips and drinking beer.
@Seydikun People like you give me faith in humanity... You're 110% correct. I've been watching anime for seven years now, and there's is nothing I've seen that could even hold a candle to Elfen Lied. Plus, this song is absolutely beautiful.
@Spybait The songt actually has nothing to do with the anime, neither does the pictures shown in it, it's just kind of a random song, that sounds very well when placed in the melody of this anime. I love the song, and I love the anime, but they're two seperate things. The song is a set of religious chants by 10th century barbaric tribes.
@xxhowisuxx it was composed for the anime but the lyrics and such were themed after old Gregorian chants. the actual lyrics are from the bible (well, the first few lines anyways)
I don't need to know the words to understand what is happening here. Emotion through music is universal. This is sorrow, temptation, beauty, joy, serenity, love. It is simply love and lament; perhaps lamenting over a forbidden or unattainable love.
Don't correct my interpretation. Let me have this moment. :-)
I heard the US only got the 13 episodes and that bonus one..Is there more? Because if there is, I'm deff going to do my best find it and buy it! This quickly became my favorite Anime.
@lynndabomb only 13 episodes were ever released plus the OVA, the manga was not finished when the anime started to air so they had different endings but regardless, the anime series and the manga are both complete
@omjesse I read the manga, and the manga made me cry harder then the anime xD but I still think the anime ended better :) Just my opinion and I think there shouldn't be a sequal. The anime ended epic, I don't want them to screw it up without lucy or something :/
@Psykesss check out Selia, Seileen, Kaya, and Shwarz Stein. They have Beautiful songs like this, though they're more Techno/Industrial Oriented. They're Awesomee!!(:
@Psykesss search them on here, YouTube, and you can use the YouTube Downloader. You can also google Jrock Music Downloads and find a site where you can download their albums(:
@ZORAK911 for one thing have u seen the little mermaid? well in the movie when ursula takes her voice away i can kinda hear the same tone in the begininng, thats what i meant
Great song, putrid manga though. Fanservice, desperate shock-value, generic plot. Noticebly there's issues and themes that are worthy thinking but if that's the strong point, why the boobs and naked women? One scream if one can't sing.
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom and his tongue shall speak judgement blessed is the man who endures temptation for when he has been tried he shall receive the crown of life
@monochromexyz It was a good anime but most of the characters had no dept. I think only 3/4 characters made sense. The animation looks good and the story is okay. But the best thing about this anime for me is the music. Rly rly well done :).
@Wolfsraingirl4ever I highly suggest to look on wikipedia. (Don't go to far or spoilers D:)
You might think its all blood, gore, and nudity at first, but its all part of the humiliation and pain people endure in it. It's really a beautiful story! Sad though. :(
@Wolfsraingirl4ever It isn't brutal, when the anime is almost ending, you will realize that the character become your ''friends'', it's an anime full of drama, so its fucking cool, but its funny at the same time, it made me cry, best anime i've ever watched, you should watch too
here are the english lyrics Lilium (English) Lyrics The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom And his language shall be spoken in judgment Blessed is he who suffers temptation Since he, with approval, shall receive the crown of life Lord, fire divine, have mercy Oh how holy How serene How kind How pleasant Oh, lily of chastity! Lord, fire by divine, have mercy Oh how sacred Oh, How serene How bevolent How lovely Lily of chastity
Omg I love this song :) it makes me feel fuzzy!!!
