  • I think it was Lucy at the end because she always wanted to fix that clock. And at the end, the clock sounds and the dog barks at the door. Great Anime. I love it !

  • 15:10 i started crying T-T he loved her so much and it made me feel like a terrible person even though i dont know why :[

  • It's strange how no one remembers what Mariko's mother said. Did she have to die just because she was born with horns, did she have to be locked away and tortured? Kurama could have given Mariko a life of love and warmness, but he gave into fear and destroyed everything. They made Mariko become a killer, how could it have been her fault when she was just a little girl who had been denied everything? Just because you are born with the power to destroy doesn't mean you are born to use it.

  • I think theres ephisode 14

  • OH NOOO THE FLYING WEELCHAIR ROFL Xd

  • Omg i'm so sad iv'e finished this :( can anyone suggest animes that are similar to this?

  • @iliketurtles1096 Higurashi maybe you would like but I haven't finished it so I don't really know what it's all about. Just know it's renown for gore. Hmmm... Don't think I can recall any others at the moment.

  • @Talkingcamara2 Cheers!

  • Maybe Nyuu form, that way she cant sense her

    Or aliens

  • For all thoes who think it's Lucy at the door, I honestly don't think so... Because if it was Lucy, Nana would have known. Diclonius can sense each other, remember? Who would visit I don't know but... Maybe it's her, maybe not.

  • @Talkingcamara2 It was probably Lucy. If you watched the whole thing , you can tell because Nana cannot sense her when Lucy is in her Nyuu form.

  • @DarkShadowMoo That is true. I considered that.

  • Just leting everyone know, the reason theres so many loose ends is because its not over. the manga (i think arounds chapter 60) leaves off from the last episode. but with few exceptions/changes. ( loose ends = Lucy at the door. The director not dieing/ showing his horns to the scientist. Bandou not dieing.) The reason for the suddon ending is because they ran out of money. But i think its fine. It was a good anime but compared to all the others iv watched this one is extremly sad and depressing.

  • wait wait wait... wat happened to that guy that chased lucy at the end of ep 12?

  • You know, at the end, with the director general... I wasn't even surprised...

  • Luct didnt die! do some1 noticed that there're 5 spots in the table?? it means lucy still there!

  • @nevardolobo thats not why there was 5 spots, did you not watch the episode they say themselves that they didn't intend to place 5 spots for dinner just that it would make it seem like she was there...however in saying that i also think that she does not die simply due to the mood of the final minute or so and the final seconds, when you see the silhouette by the gate

  • You know an anime's good when it manages to make you cry, laugh, shudder, aw, sob like a baby, and giggle hysterically all in one. -3

  • Please tell me there's a season 2!?

  • 考えさせられるアニメでした。

  • actually that was lucy at the gate..she didn't die..

  • I had to pee so much during this but... i couldn't stop watching this episode!

  • .. damn... lucy aint dead right..?...

  • @werk344 Nope. When a Dincolus or whatever's horns are broken the permanently gets personallity switched, so she turns into Nyuu. (BUT) Their horns grow back slowly over time so she gets her memories back eventually.

  • @aroredblade99 damn... why didn't they continue the series :( i love this anime... but uhm thanks for the answer

  • Take that back, horns got off, lucy dies.

  • @TheAnalJustice Lucy didnt die!! if you see when Yuka puts the plates on the table she puts 5!! with Lucy they are 5!

  • @TheAnalJustice Read the manga, horns shot of doesn't kill her

  • @Knightlip Watch*

  • @kingofgrace Waych episode 12 again.

  • Still so many unanswered questions though... Like the head guy, whatever his name is... He said "This is just the beginning" so what the fuck? I guess I'm going to have to make an Elfenlied rp site and finish this story...

  • Ok this is my theory of da ending. Music box represents Lucy cuz she loves the melody, clock represents nyuu cuz she been trying to fix it. Music box ends, Lucy is gone, not dead. Clock begins to work so Nyuu is back forever. So behind the door is nyuu. HAPPY ENDING BITCHES!

  • GET NYUUUUU D:

  • why does 35's arm fall off like a prosthetic arm? 8:05

  • @kingofgrace because in ep 11 she lost her arm T-T

  • when it ended i was like

    NOOO HOLY FUCK SHOW LUCY OR NYUU ON THE CAMERA AHHH

  • There IS a season 2, right?! There has to be......!!

  • Mariko-Kurama ending is better than the manga, but again the manga's has its own strength.

  • Lucy looks like Kurmuru and Mizune smashed together with Moka's hair.

  • If he would have got it in on them steps the season would have been complete (DO NOT READ THE MANGA. ITS 495643653463498 times worse and he kills her him self, it should be burned)

  • @aroredblade99 I'm afraid this is a spoiler for those who have not yet read the Manga.

  • Giggity* but anyway, the music box stopped....and the clock randomly started to work. So Lucy is gone, but Nyuu is still there... And she made her way back home after getting shot up... GO NYUU. SUCH A HAPPY ENDING. YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!L!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ok...am I the only one that understood the ties between the music box and the clock?....if you payed attention, the music box represented lucy... Because that's what we know her for, and Nyuu always tryin to fix that damn clock. So at the end....when the music box stopped....it meant Lucy was gone....because both of her horns broke off....and she got closure by telling kouta she was sorry and she got a ill bit of some gigging gigging.

  • @magmaroo

    YESSS finally someone who understands Elfen Lied!

  • @magmaroo It'd be true, but it shows him winding up the music box, befor opening it at some points. And if you want a legit answer. When dinclius ( or whatever)'s horns are broken they are put in the vegatable state ( Nyuu ) Permanently. (BUT) since they are genetically modifide, thanks to all the lab testing her horns actually have the ability to grow back. But in truth in the end she dies and Kounta has kids with his cousin. It's a fucked up anime. He still waits for her by the Rock

  • I'm so sad ;(

  • That last comment didn't count as a comment and neither does this one or the nxt.

  • No comment. I'm to sad

  • I just watched all of these episodes...and now I feel suicidal.

  • @TrigsterCorp We should hunt down the people who made this and do what lucy did to those gaurds if they don't change this ending...

  • 6:37 *punches random numbers into code*

    EXPLODE DEMON CHILD

  • My friend told me about this show about three years ago. She told me it was an anime . I was like ,"Aw man, an anime?" I told her i will watch it sometime. Now today is the day i finished every episode of this anime and i got a review on this. " WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS? I SWEAR I WILL HAVE NIGHTMARE OF THIS! ITS LIKE FINAL DESTINATION WITH SAW! But watching this anime made me love this! I regret every bad comment i did about amine just because of this show. Its just so amazing!

  • @TheAnalJustice i love this anime is very sad so i like to watch this do you cry when you watch this anime ?

  • @lucyikouta Of course! I got soft feelings!

  • @TheAnalJustice i too T-T

  • WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEN TO THE GUY WITH THE GUN IN THE BEGINNING!? !?

  • Ohh yeah! GREAT! Kill everyone else but not the fucking guy who has been CHASING YOU FOR HOW THE FUCK LONG!

  • @RoxazXIII13 She made a choice to not kill anyone anymore. She was being the better "person". Well I suppose the better diclonius. Trying to atone for her sins as much as she could before she dies.

  • i half expected Daughter of Evil to start playing...

  • Did Lucy/nyuu die or live?

  • is that it? Who was at the other side of the gate?! :O

  • @maryanelyrocha13 I dont know either, some say it is Lucy. Idk.

  • Is this the last episode?

  • @Korihana485 Yup. But there is an OVA episode that takes place between episode 10 and 11

  • Is that it?

  • Strangely reminds me of a more psychotic version of kill bill LOL

  • You know when an animes good when it makes you cry like a bitch :(

  • To be honest i don't really like this ending, the ending in the anime is different from the one in the manga wich makes no sense =/

    By the way in the manga when Lucy get's really pissed she has over hunderds of vectors and can even sink an island.

    Anyway, this anime made me feel sad from inside, no wonder why this is one of the best selling and most notorious releases in 2005

  • So, Gary. I see you threw up. Could you tell us a bit more about your rating.

    Well, there was too much drama, but it was well made and delicious, so I'll give up a seven.

  • WHAT?! That's it? I demand more Nyuu! :)

  • @Madiissoawesome Well, you can maybe hope that she survived and ecsaped and just lost a horn. But other then that, I cant see how she would have survived. But it must be another season, cuz the directors says it only the beginning of the project.

  • Compare to the manga the anime has a better ending then the manga (my opinion)

  • @darkangel6941 i agree too. i didnt rly like the manga ending.

  • So sad. Even though I didnt cry, it was so sad that I got paralyzed at the ending. Standing still for whole minute at the end.

  • I think my Fav character is Mariko. She's so cute, and I love how just encountering her father for the first time changes her heart; I love the scene when Kurama picks her up and they start walking to their death.

  • I didn't cry but this is the ultimate sad stroy.

  • Lemme see here, so I watched This anime, Umineko, & Higurashi and I still don't see any tears yet...maybe my eyes are too strong to cry at anime...

  • im sorry i read the manga ending but i didnt get it either

    can someone explain it?

    I know in the anime ending, Nyuu is the person at the door. but the manga ending i dont get it.

  • @nihilumphobic lucy was reincarnated into two twin sisters

  • @Mr2Wii bah if thats the case i prefer the anime ending more >:(

  • @Mr2Wii What? Reincarnated? Really?

  • tbh

    all this could have been avoided if ppl learned to ignore other peoples differences like horns on their heads and not treat them like shit...

    great series though :D

  • @nihilumphobic same applied to skin color or races

  • 私はこのアニメが大好き!

  • hey guys, question 4 all of those who read this comment

    which character is ur favourite in this anime? and y?

    mine is...well it may sound weird, but its chief choroma...yea the guy in the suit with the glasses

    y? cuz he's the only 1 in this anime who doesn't cry every 5 minutes, yet he had 2 make some of the hardest choices like killing the dicloanious children and dying with his own daughter, and not a single tear came out

    but its not like i hate lucy, even if she's a blood thirsty @#$%^@&*

  • @hefhef54321

    I think mine's Nana. Because... She goes through a lot of shit. She loses her legs and arms. People try to kill her. People want her to kill other people. The only person she cared about left her. And still she's alive. :I

  • @SachaLoco yea good point man, and i like Nana too

    not 2 mention tht she could've easily become like lucy, but she had some1 tht cares abt her (cheif kurama), thts y she endured all those "terrible moments" in her life

  • Selena9953: she didn't turn off nyuu forever because she died. POOR LUCY!!!!!!! I love you Lucy!!!!

  • I love it. You killed my family, Took some of my sanity..... But to hell with that I LOVE YA!!!

  • @DARKANGELPRODUKTIOS I'd want someone torn apart bone by bone, an use their bone as toothpicks if they killed my sister and father.

  • so u killed my father and sister but i LOVE YOU

  • what version of lilium starts playing at 14:18 through 15:05?

  • @nihilumphobic and 22:10 to the ending too

  • Well good series. now ill be looking for a new anime to watch

    So far ive done bleach, death note, fma, and this one.

    is there any that are similar to any of those that are interesting?

    Needs to have a extensive plot with little or no plotholes, some action, and some drama/romance wouldnt hurt.

  • @nihilumphobic list as many as u can think of.

    multiple responses much appreciated.

  • @nihilumphobic jigoku Shoujo, tsubasa Chronicles, Puella Magi Madoka Magika, Highschool of the Dead.

  • @nihilumphobic

    Angel Beats! is my favorite anime with that genre :3

  • @nihilumphobic Watch naruto the first season for sad stories. Don't watch Naruto shippuden it started getting rubbish.

  • @settazteca naruto is a really dissapointing anime :(

  • lilium sounds so much like lament of the highborne

  • Pacem tibi nunc castitatis lilium

  • im sorry i didnt get the point of this anime at all <.<

    and lots of stuff left unanswered

  • dang can someone post episode 14 in English?

  • That was really sad. I have 2 queations. 1. Who was outside the door? And had lucy turned into nyuu for ever because lucys horns came off?

  • @selena9953 The both are what we all want to know, which is the reason for requesting the 2nd season. You have your own answers?

  • And btw.. So did that means that Nyuu/Lucy Died? D:

  • it's the saddest episode :(

    9:30 :(((((((

  • touching!!!

  • It's super

  • Omg I Cried :'((

  • Now, your gf/bf kills yours family, in rage, then later, you find out. They are truly sorry, and are a different person now, do you forgive them?

  • T-T awwww shit now im cryin again!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • okay so when lilium music box stopped that ment lucy died and the clock ticked then that meant nyu is back or born or something right ?

  • @TheMasterFerrets No, it mean't he needs to go wind that fucking music box back up and come out with a damn season 2

  • i have never cried soo much in my life before

  • best anime ever <3

  • I cried for hours after seeing the ending best anime ever. I will never see the world the same

  • I read the entire manga after the anime(obsessive much). The ending is so much sadder then you could imagine no spoilers but you might want stay with the anime ending. Actually if the show had done better they would of put in that second season. This last episode that was changed in a lot of ways was like over way done with the manga. So that is my warning to anyone planning on reading it.

  • Heres My Opinion Music Box Stop Becuase The Past Is Gone The Clock Worked Again Becuase Theres New Future No More Past So Person At Door Is Lucy Not Nyuu If It Was Nyuu how is Nyuu Suppose Get Away From Gun fire Have yall ever thought of that?Plus Nyuu Couldent have Found Her Way Home. So It was lucy at door. And Thats My Opinion.

  • @darling309 that made absolutley no sence, how about you try again, without randomly Uppercasing words, and some punctuation so we know when you're at least ending a sentence because that was all jumbled up

  • i think i know what happened to Lucy when you see one of her horns go flying off... i herd that if a diclonis (if that's how you spell it) loses both of its horns it goes into a coma but i also herd that Lucy recovered from this twice but that doesn't mean she can do it another time so if Lucy would have fallen down in coma when the horn is gone she might still be alive and they thought she was dead.

  • so erm, is it worth me reading the whole manga?

    bearing in mind, I've already read the ending

  • does the person who made Elfen lied know that ending it will cause deaths of many people?

  • NOOO it cant be finished!!!! best series ever but why after ep 13 it finishes...v_v

  • I don't get the ending or the whole eps. Lucy/nyuu gets shot and she loses the other horn and then was it her a the ending

  • What a nice and touching ending!!!!!!

  • They should have made a 12.5 OVA

  • Lucy is so not evil in the end

  • Why did I watch this sereies :( Im so sad...But it was so good

  • This is the only episode that had made cry... :'(

  • @cjbata well if you noticed earlier in the series you see nyuu always playing with the clock and when lucy met kouta she lived the melody of it. The box stopping represents lucy dying and the clock working represents nyuu's awakening so when lucy died nyuu was awoken permanently and came back to live with kouta

  • Uhhh wut is with the Japanese symbols?

    Das Ende

    NOOOO WHHYYYY!?!?!? DDD:

  • don't understand why lucy had to die.. she knows whows what she have done is wrong, but everyone would fight to survive, and they haven't made it easy for her :/.. she had a place she could be and ppl to look after her :(. love elfen lied!! <3, but it's so sad :/

  • @SuperAkami She didn't die. Didn't you watch all the way til the end?

  • @daeronjames lucy did die, nyuu survived.

  • Okay....so at my side of the world (In America) it's uhhhh......5:34 AM :)

    I spent all night watching this anime despite the fact of have to study hard for midterms tomorrow :D

    Was it worth it I ask myself...? Oh hell yeah!!!! :D

  • @VideoGameResearcher IT WAS THE SAME EXACT FOR ME!

  • Last episode, always so emotional, third time I've seen it and still brings tears to my eyes

  • @pandagirl247 it's nyuu, because the clock started again :)

  • I love this.. It fits my type. Lucy, Nana, Mariko, and everyone else. Keep on with the good.. Slaughtering..

  • nooo!! lucy must live!!!!!

  • This was probably the best anime i've ever seen. Too bad it's over already.

  • Wow that was great! Watched all 13 eps in less than 24 hrs and i must say this is one of the best animes ive watched so far. Its bloody and gory but at the same time also a very emotional story (almost bust into tears at some points). Def gonna recommend this anime to others in the future and i might go off and read the manga too :)

  • I like lucy more than nyuu because i dont find airheads cute because they're clumsy..

  • @cjtana1 it just means that nyuu/Lucy has two personalities. When she's Lucy, nyuu is sleeping, and when she's nyuu, Lucy is sleeping. And when Lucy is dead permanently, then nyuu is awake permanently. :)

  • (cont.) based off the manga, it is horribly done, (no offense) but the manga one made me cry for 10 mins straight. You should all really check it out, if you enjoyed the short 13 episodes they spliced together I promise you all :)

  • The series is over, there is no 2nd season guys, I know it sucks but it's the truth. If you want more of it, there is more and it is better in my opinion, (a lot more sad and compelling) read the manga of this series at mangafox.com it was changed for the anime so that it was shortened down to 13 episodes but there is over 100 books of this series and it goes on for a lot longer, kind of disappointed with the ending that they came up with for the anime version, even though it's based off the ma

  • I cryed on this episode. But this is the best anime ever.

  • About the ending. Someone told me this.

    Lucy was the music box and Nyu was the clock. The music box stopped, Lucy died. The clock starts, Nyu awakens.

    Can someone explain to me how they're represented as these objects. If it a spoiler about the manga, don't tell me. I'm still reading that.

  • I watched this anime all over again, i even made tabs for each 13 episodes straight after the episode finished..... Now when i come back to them i saw Lucy's naked body 12 times >.<

  • It takes alot to make me nearly shed a tear, I commend this anime for it's emotional value. (applause).

  • Is it just me, or can Lucy's vectors reach more than two meters as she killed the professor guy with the phone from at least ten meters away?

  • 24:20 Daaaamn...a woman that can do much more than just make sandwiches?? :O

    ...yeah, but on all seriousness, this anime was simply pure legend! Bravo! *applause*

  • P.S this is the first actual time I ever cried from watching something on screen

  • This is by far the best story I have ever seen in my whole entire life. Hands down. I don't care whether its anime or some piece of shit american show that you have seen. Nothing can top this compelling story. The characters were amazing with their unique,emotional,...and disturbing backgrounds. There was many parts in this series where it truly hit me in the soul. I've never been so touched by watching such a masterpiece. I would definitely give this 5 stars without a doubt. Much love Nyuu! <3

  • anyone else fine it a bit screwed up they make out even though she killed his family?

  • i didnt even watch this yet and i cant wait!!!! i even have popcorn! YUMMY POPCORN!

  • who was in the door? lucy?

  • Top comments ruined the ending. Thanks guys.

  • bloody hell! the clock is working!!

  • ok i dont give a fuck what the hell you say or think lucy and nyuu survived and you should know that.

  • And that's how a little bit of magic happens.

  • Daaamn when she got shot she shoulda like change personalities then been all like, " you killed nyuu mutha fuka!!" then raped them all in lucy for or somethin lol

  • PLEASE SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!! thumbs up .and it will be true

  • Will There Be A Season 2? This Series Is really Emotional

  • This show would have been stunning if Lucy's split personality was an actual personality, (something like Nana), rather than some mentally handicapped humanoid. The depth would have increased exponentially.
