Es ist einfach Elfen Lied. Ich musst 5 Sterne geben.
Ich les es jetzt zum dritten Mal und gesehn hab ichs auch sehr oft. Der zweite Teil schockt vom Inhalt sehr. Ich weiß aber ja schon was kommt, deswegen wars rein die Geschichte für mich.
2 Charaktere wurden herausgearbeitet. Wir fühlen uns richtig rein in die zwei Protagonisten. Wir kriegen die Vergangenheit erklärt und alles ergibt nach und nach Sinn.
Man fragt sich nach diesem Band: Wie können sie so überhaupt weiter leben?
Und eins muss ich noch los werden. Da ich keine so wirklich ernsthafte Review Schreiberin bin, sondern das mehr für mich mach, nehm ich mir das jetzt einfach mal raus. Yuka geht mir echt derb auf den Sack!
Weiter zu Band 3 =^ . ^=

This review is for the entire series.
Synopsis: Lucy is a special breed of human referred to as Diclonius, born with a short pair of horns and invisible telekinetic hands that lands her as a victim of inhumane scientific experimentation by the government. However, once circumstances present her an opportunity to escape, Lucy, corrupted by the confinement and torture, unleashes a torrent of bloodshed as she escapes her captors. During her breakout, she receives a crippling head injury that leaves her with a split personality: someone with the mentality of a harmless child possessing limited speech capacity. In this state of instability, she stumbles upon two college students, Kouta and his cousin Yuka, who unknowingly take an injured fugitive into their care, unaware of her murderous tendencies. This act of kindness will change their lives, as they soon find themselves dragged into the shadowy world of government secrecy and conspiracy.
Review: A horrifically violent, gruesomely sexualized, shocking and depressing series that's further intensified by the horrific acts done to a group of young girls. The things we are forced to watch happen to them is sickening, which makes their bloody vengeance and murderous rampages almost justified, if it wasn't for the ridiculously high body count of innocent civilians and bystanders.
Everyone in this series is an extreme sadist, the type of people that would beat a puppy to death with a glass vase just to spite another person. I admit, the shock value can get tiresome and pointless in certain instances, but from the standpoint of a horror flick, it can be entertaining to see just how much you are able to endure. Reminiscent of old-school slasher movies with excessive splatter and gore. Shock value for the sake of shock value. It can get redundant, but it can also be entertaining if you're looking for simpler entertainment.
There are plenty of flaws in the series as well as very awkward and misplaced moments that drag down the overall serious tone, but it's something I feel happy having experienced. It's a great example of exploring the minds of very tragic and emotionally broken characters. These instances of incredibly sad, memorable and heart-wrenching moments are the saving grace of the series.

Wieder ein sehr spannender Band. Es passiert wirklich sehr viel und man versinkt total in der Geschichte.
Ich mag den Zeichenstil sehr gerne und auch die Charaktere haben es mir angetan.
Man erfährt in diesem Band sehr viel über die Vergangenheit und ich war wirklich sehr verblüfft was dort zu Tage gekommen ist. Ich habe irgendwie nicht gedacht, dass die Geschichte so eine große Tragweite hat.

The second volume of Elfen Lied is the shock value volume of the series. The older I get though, the less I can take it seriously. It’s so over the top and just wants to shock for the sake of it, not to tell a deeper story through the traumatic events the characters have to live through.
For one, this volume focusses on Kouta and Yuka trying to find out more about Lucy while a new homeless girl named Mayu is moving in with them. I was surprised by how much I liked the Mayu chapters. It’s so wholesome to see how the girls support her after all that she’s been through. This volume also deviates more from the anime if I remember correctly, with the characters going more to university and finding out more about Lucy’s past. We learn that .
Like I’ve said, there was so much potential for a story about female rage here. But the story still has a lot of weaknesses. One of the biggest ones for me is the fanservice which is just so annoying and frankly disgusting, considering that the girls are all underage. There are also plot holes/things never explained, for example why the Diclonii are almost all female.
The second volume also makes clear how much of a Harem story Elfen Lied unfortunately is – like I’ve mentioned before, if it was not written by a horny man, it would be such a better story. There are already four women chilling at Kouta’s home, and everyone of the is helpless or does chores and wear short skirts. It is so silly how Yuka is so fixated on Kouta because he gives her no reason why she should love him. Besides this, every character has such an overly dramatic backstory which is just ridiculous and unbelievable.

L’histoire est une suite de révélations et j’ai eu beaucoup de mal à m’interrompre à la fin de mes pauses, tellement j’avais envie de savoir la suite. Ça me donne bien envie de découvrir enfin l’animé… je pense que je le ferai quand je serai arrivée au dernier tome de cette saga.
C’est un coup de cœur pour ce second tome et j’ai hâte de découvrir ce que nous réserve le troisième.

Dieser Band ist noch besser als der erste und diesen habe ich schon abgöttisch geliebt. Nur Yuka finde ich etwas anstrengend und kann mich nicht wirklich in wie hineinversetzen, trotzdem ist die Reihe die beste Manga Reihe die ich kenne.

February 1, 2022Beaucoup plus sombre que je pensais et un certains nombres de trigger warning (un peu trop à mon gout^^): Gore, violence, nudité féminine, attouchement, vision archaïque du plaisir féminin... Oui tout ça.
Le scénario est très bien en revanche, comme dans beaucoup de mangas...

Ehrlich gesagt bin ich froh, dass die Szene mit dem Hund im Manga weniger brutal wirkt als im Anime...
