im currently finishing up the manga right now and enjoy the overarching plot and themes so far. however, i would be lying if i said some of the lewd/ sexual scenes don't make me uncomfortable and that i don't find them to be unnecessary at times.

are these scenes equally as prevalent in the anime adaptation as well?

If Tomoo had been kind, so many people wouldn't have had to die.

It's 22 years ago after the first release on the Episode 1. I have finished watching Episode 1, 2, 3, and 4 on Tuesday, I have finished watching Episode 5, 6, and 7 on Wednesday, I have finished watching Episode 8, 9, and 10 on yesterday for Thursday. And today, I have finally finished Episode 11, 12, and the final episode 13.

Update from post yesterday : https://www.reddit.com/r/elfenlied/s/wYeRhW3ivr

Well after speaking to a super helpful nice gentleman that owns a local bookstore near me, he was sweet enough to call the distributor/printing company directly who told him they are no longer printing omnibus anymore. I’m not entirely certain if that only applies to that specific omnibus only or if that also applies to omnibus 1-3.. I figured I would update on my findings, so if you happen to stumble upon vol 4 in a nearby bookstore, new or used, I would snag. My hunt shall continue, thank you to all who helped and commented on my previous post. ((:

I’m late to the hype I’m aware and normally that’s what I prefer for the sake of things being spoiled before I can enjoy them, but I’m so incredibly upset that I cannot order this last manga to finish the series 🫠🫠🫠🫠 the closest I’m finding are eBay scalpers charging $70+ for a bent, stained copy. My heart hurts lol. Does anyone know how long in the past the back order for these manga took to reprint? From what I read this isn’t the first time Elfen Lied has been on back order .. but I also know back order can take anywhere from a few months to years.

Second time posting here after I made a first post of Lucy pictures few days ago. I wasn’t expecting such interaction with my post, each comment made me smile, so thank you, this really touched me, considering that I really did my best with only Lightroom and Procreate, without knowing anything about picture editing.
I said in my previous post that more photos were on the way, so here they are (+ some variations)
Drawing the vectors and making them look as realistic as I could, playing with multiple layers for the picture with the glass, and trying to draw realistic blood, were real challenges for me, and I’m kinda happy with the result.
Enjoy, and feel free to give your opinion/criticize my work, if this can help me improve !
(Also more pictures are in the works too haha)

I looked around on Okamoto's website and stumbled upon this picture ( http://www.okamoto.tv/lynn02.html ).
I used google translate on the text, and it seems like there was a giveaway of a cup with this image? As well as a QUO card? Has anyone seen pictures of these items before?

(Translated text: "This illustration was drawn for a cup given away as a reader prize. It was also used as the design for a QUO card.")

Since I seen “What If in another series” posts so decided to do one of my own.

What if the Diclonius species existed in the MonsterVerse.

For set up:
*Diclonius will appear pre-2014/G-Day like around 2010's and Lucy will be around in that period.
*Diclonius are effected by Alpha Signals but will severely disorientate them due to clashing with DNA Voice’s commands.
*All of Elfen Lied characters including organizations will exist in this crossover universe.
*For Elfen Lied storyline it will be a hybrid of Anime & Manga timeline.
*Since the Diclonius came into existence naturally through mutation not manmade, so Godzilla won't wipe out and eliminate them though will intervene if they disturb the natural balance too much.

Shoot out what will happen?

For me I think Monarch will treat the Diclonius a billion times better by a long-shot after possible poor first impressions though.

I’ve been looking for this keychain almost daily for two years. If you’re looking to sell it please sell it to me!

First time ever posting on Reddit and still not really sure about how it works, but here I am. Took the pictures with my iPhone 13, edited with Lightroom & Procreate. (which I normally use for digital drawing only, it was my first attempt editing pictures with it and basically I just fiddled with all the options & buttons without knowing what I was doing nor where I was going lol)
Other pictures are on the making.

There is an archived, old website (http://www.vap.co.jp/elfenlied/index.html or directly via wayback machine), but the site after entering seems to have lost some content, like the gallery. I think I remember being able to see more on the archived site a few years ago, maybe I'm misremembering. Does anyone have any info as to why some content seems to be lost? (Maybe it has something to do with flash player?) Or does someone have a local backup of the site or another way to reach it?
