Kim told me that she wanted to watch a "horror" Anime & the first thing I thought about was:
Elfen Lied.
Now, Elfen is NOT a horror Anime, but it's really gory and suspenseful and one of my favorites!
From the moment it opens on the scene of Lucy escaping from the lab and blood splattering across the walls while people's limbs randomly fly off of their bodies, you get hooked...!
There's blood & gore, romance, mystery, suspense, comedy, beautiful music & art, & lots of bare skin!
^-^
Lucy is so sweet and I love her flashback story, & Nyu is just so adorable!!
But I absolutely LOVE Nana and Mariko!!
Nana is so sweet and funny and Mariko is just so evil... I think Mariko is my favorite character, actually, because she's so cute and evil... I just love it!
But when Mariko meets Kurama and they die together, I nearly cried...
I think I cried the first time I saw it...
We watched it dubbed, and I love all of the voice talents!
It completely threw me off guard when I realized that the voice of Kurama (Jay Hickman) also voiced Fool from Kaleido Star!! I just couldn't take him seriously... -_-
Then there's Luci Christian- whom I LOVE- playing Mariko!!! && Cynthia Martines as Mayu!!
Also: Sasha Paysinger as Nana & Kira Vincent-Davis as Nyu/Lucy!!
>v<
Elfen Lied aired back in 2004, but it's fan base is still running strong today!
This Anime series, having a mere 13episodes, is a must see among all Anime fans!!
The characters are great and dynamic and the story is heart wrenching and just fantastic!
>>I'm so glad that Suzette owns the box set! I can watch it whenever I want!<<
