s01e13 — No Return

recently, the only film after which it became sad to tears... A wonderful story!

This series just made the whole season. Roared like a girl ...

Bad mood? Watch the Elf Song, finish it.
Quite an atmospheric anime. Blood, guts, severed limbs-lovely.

If the anime itself is generally mediocre.
That's the final episode, it's worth paying attention. I repeatedly and periodically review it, and every time I can't help but pop up from the stage on the bridge.

Fine)

Yeah, I think it's one of the few, as well as the first Horror and Drama anime that I liked. The last episode also pleased me, especially the episode with "goodbye", when GG said that he loved both aspects of Lucy.

"All this time I wanted to apologize!"

one of three things: not my genre, not grown up or outgrown))) somehow I understood it and it's not bad at times, but in general, the impression remains that the series is somehow overrated. why is he in the top?
it looks like after Ergo Proxy, I won't find a series that can move him from my first positions.

Great anime! Of course, in many ways it does not correspond to the manga, but personally I liked the anime much more, especially the ending - there is hope that everything will be fine, Lucy / Nude survived and returned to those to whom she is dear (I do not want to spoiler, but therefore I will just say that in the manga everything is not so rosy, and not only in the ending - the manga as a whole is filled with much more violence than the anime).

I cried throughout the series, and after watching the last episode, I just started to get hysterical!

My first anime I watched (not counting all sorts of Sailor Moon, Sakura and other Pokemon). And even if true animeshniki consider it pop, and non-animeshniki will not all appreciate it, but it is still my favorite anime. I've reviewed it several times already and each time during the last episode I can barely hold back a stingy man's tear.

The most standard anime drawing of characters and just a magical drawing of such beautiful backdrops! After all, they were drawn from real places, which gives us the opportunity to walk around Japan in absentia. A memorable opening for a lifetime (which I have been playing the piano for 4 years). One of the first anime – impressive and terrifying…
The whole psychedelic series lies in the cruelty of people, which is taken from our lives in all its beauty. This cruelty grows out of greed and curiosity. Because of pride and boredom. Human life looks cheap and nonsense, which is so freely disposed of by everyone.
But essentially an anime harem. A bunch of naked girls, a lot of blood, special services, scientists and many other stamps… None of the Persians caught me and nothing special was noticed in the plot of the narrative. but! I really liked the idea of vectors and the psychology that is imposed by the series. Perhaps there would have been more money, the manga (which ended a year later than the series) would have been something more serious. But that's what it is, that is. And even having such a set of platitudes, anime still touches people and touches a living thing. There is something special and impressive about him

Excellent anime! And this ending, my heart is already in my heels! The clock has gone, the box has stopped, it's Lucy, after all/Nude has returned home, please let it be her!

The last episode is the strongest. Someone may be remembered for bloodshed and violence, and for someone for the truth of life, no matter how terrible it is, and the cruelty of people (namely people, not diclonius). If you take Lucy, she didn't just kill, it was her defensive reaction.

It seems that if the series is marked "horrors" "blood" then there will really be something good. An interesting plot, again we reveal the theme "the most cruel creatures are children" (about those kids who killed the dog) and of course the theme "before you call someone a monster, look in the mirror." And so, in general, a very touching and sad story about the fate of "not like everyone else.".. Yes, declonius may have a tendency to murder in early childhood, but again, give the same strength to an ordinary child, the probability that he will start doing the same is very high because children have a poorly developed concept of "bad / good" here it was also clearly seen that if from the same At an early age, they were treated like ordinary children under the supervision of psychologists, then there might not have been any murders at all... And in general, there is no longer even a story about poor children, they are victims here. "This organization" is all the fault of greedy people.

Well, I don't know, for me the saddest moment is when the poor puppy was beaten to death, tears, tears, everything else is so small

Disgusting in every sense and terribly overrated series. The case when pseudo-depth, stupidly constructed "romance" and a sea of violence cling to people who are apparently not familiar with real anime works.

God, this guy is gorgeous! (as usual, I remember all the names of aha) when he was not afraid to approach his daughter and die with her, I almost burst into tears. that's for sure, with something, but with emotions, this series is just creepy...

I want to say that I watched this thing in one go.
I often get bored with something. In the sense that I like watching, but I can't concentrate, get distracted, pause and fall asleep if I've already finished and just need to watch. And very rarely do I come across things where I just can't stop. Trying to remember now that I was doing just as well, I can only name a couple of things: "When the Cicadas Cry" and "Broadchurch".
This is about the fact that I started watching it ("The Elven Song") yesterday afternoon when I decided to take a break from preparing assignments for the exam. I thought I'd eat, but I'll watch the episode. As a result, I was able to stop somewhere for 4-5 episodes. Then she went back to work. And the next time I woke up at one o'clock in the morning, when I finished watching episode 10, thinking: "Well, there are only 3 episodes left, this is an hour, can I finish watching?". But I still left the end for the sweet, postponing it until today.
Yes, I'm not a seasoned animeshnik and I haven't watched that many anime, but I can see something good. By the way, since someone has touched on this topic here, then "all sorts of sailor moons" - what else is it? I am more than sure that these people watched SM as a child and believe that they saw it. I shake my head in displeasure, clicking my fingers. We'll talk to them when they tell me that they watched and remember all 5 seasons completely. Up to this point, such words are offensive and not filled with meaning.

I got distracted.

I will continue in a separate post.

Besides the fact that I watched it excitedly, unable to stop, I want to express the following impressions.

Watching the first episode, I was unhappy with a lot of things. Almost everything was infuriating. This long opening, the music, the drawing of people, the eyes. But I liked the idea so much that I lit up. I realized that I would have to put up with the drawing, especially since the views were depicted perfectly, and everything except people.
I didn't understand anything. I wanted answers, but they were not given, they were not explained.
Meanwhile, the series ended so quickly that I only managed to go back to the computer and switch to the next one, not letting the ending end quietly (it was too interesting!).
I still don't fully understand the relationship between Yuka and Kota. Mmm... They're related. Cousins. Am I getting this right? What a strange attraction Yuki has for him. And the Cat? It's like he doesn't care about her. And after all, he tells Yuka only that he likes her, and he confesses his love to Lucy... Everything is very strange.
Okay.

This is one of those series that could be something full-length. Very long, but complete. There is no water and long dilutions. Only the plot, only the story.

There were a lot of tearful moments. How I cried when those bastards did this to a puppy. A puppy... It was the first thing that touched me so much that I burst into tears. Before that, I cried because of Maya and the fact that she temporarily (but then I didn't know that for a while) lost the Guy.

And all this is a human disgrace. Terrible, but quite legitimate, realities of life. Where a child is used by a stranger who appeared in the family and the mother in love does not believe the same child. Running away from home, just to not have to endure all these humiliations anymore. Bullying someone who is at least somewhat different from you. "Nonentities need even more insignificant beings." Alas, it is so. And all these people who don't see anyone but their loved ones. First, to mock, humiliate, and then look and wonder why they are aggressing you.

Most of all, there was a misunderstanding about how Diclonius was treated.
They say they are killing machines, there is nothing in them but instinct, the thirst for murder. Mmm. Maybe because when they are born, they are either killed or put in a cell, where they are intimidated to death by shooting at them? No, they're just crazy. Non-human. They should be put in cells. They are dangerous.
Yes, if you treat anyone like that, he will start hating all people.
The difference, yes, of course, is that they have unique means of killing. That something inside is starting to want to kill people. But if you don't feed it, it won't break out. Why did Lucy snap? Because she's just a killing machine? I disagree. She is the same person as the others. With flaws that distinguish her, with a strong tendency to cruelty. But that's all. It would be enough to treat her like a human being. Don't mock her, don't laugh at her. The impulses to cruelty could be restrained. But not in a situation where you just don't know why and for what to live, finding support and meaning in a creature that doesn't despise you (I mean the dog).
Psychology. The usual psychology.

I don't rule out that I'm too emotional. After all, this is really true.
I do not exclude that there are people who do not feel emotions at all when it does not concern them personally. After all, this is also true.

But I can't watch calmly when someone is going through such hellish pain without understanding it, without feeling it, without having compassion for it. That's why I was crying. Therefore, on the stage, where Lucy and the Cat confessed everything to each other, made out, I was trembling from the inside, goosebumps ran through my body, and tears poured over the edges. And it hurt me to think that she was dead. And I cried when the plates were set for her too, when Nana started crying. And then the banging, the barking. The music, symbolized with pain, stopped, the long-stopped clock resumed its course, the silhouette of a girl outside the door. And I was already crying that she was back. From happiness mixed with all the pain that we were given for the series and for the entire series.
She didn't like her horns so much... She doesn't have them anymore.

This anime has its own strange and frightening moments, the end is a little sad, the music is pretty good, and the plot is interesting, many characters are cute, and many even scare.I liked.

And I didn't like it. There are some interesting characters - Kurama, Nana, Maya, but the main trio was wildly annoying.
Oh, what a good Cat. At the moment "you cut out my father and sister, but I feel guilty at the thought that I will let you go and there will be new victims", I would have quit the series if there were not a few minutes left. Vtf?! You can forgive, but love after that???
GG, all so unhappy and tearing off heads to spend the night in someone else's house. Yes, I feel sorry for the dog. But that DOESN'T EXCUSE her. And Kota's lies don't justify killing his family. Flies separately, cutlets separately. Nana and Maya did not go to chop up everyone, although they could and had a reason.
Yuka is just a weak-willed fool. But her kindness is not annoying.

There is no masterpiece here.

This is my first anime at a conscious age, and what I can say is that almost all people are creatures. It's hard to survive with them, everyone tries to ruin your life, laughs, jokes, does nasty things, it's not surprising that the main character went crazy from this. If you are different from others in some way, you do not suit people in some way, they will humiliate you in every possible way. An abomination, in a word.
Those who say that there is no point in this anime may have watched this anime early or watched it with one eye. Here, our reality is shown, and that we need to remain a human being, not a stupid animal.
Of course, some moments are not clear, for example, when Lucy began to kill everyone and the family of Cats, but in general I liked the "Elf Song". I think it's worth a look and worthy of attention.

To be honest, I personally found this anime overrated. I just don't seem to have caught the intrigue that should make me watch the next episodes. There is no highlight. It's just that something is happening, and you have no idea what's going to happen next. The only problem is that I wasn't interested. I was waiting for it to end, because the characters, unfortunately, sometimes even annoyed me. Perhaps the most interesting plot lines were Mayu, Lucy (not Nude, but Lucy), Nana and Mariko. I found their lines interesting. And the rest caused nothing but fear and pity.

However, I want to note that the picture is very pleasant, they didn't overdo it with naked tits, and the bloodbath always looked very high-quality. Just thank you for that.
A separate like for the opening. Very beautiful.

Only, by the way, I still didn't understand what songs and elves had to do with it.

My most favorite anime. I love everything, the atmosphere, the characters, the music. It affected me so much that I'm ready to review it over and overagain.

Was I the only one who didn't cry? There are a lot of non - docks, the anime is very good, but not so much that I would cry .

Anime is certainly one of the best I've ever watched so far. Drama, music, action, drawing, plot - everything is on the level, even there is not much to complain about.

I wonder who was behind the door...

Great

An elven song.
There are no elves
There are no songs

But this story shook me to the core.)

What can I say. Anime, in general, I did not like it, although I understand that now I will be pelted with slippers, but this is a purely subjective opinion. Yes, there are really a lot of plot details that open it clearer and deeper, make you think, sometimes cry and feel sorry for the characters. But in fact, I very often cut off watching simply because it couldn't get me hooked in any way. I watched it purely on the principle of "I'm watching everything." It's a pity that the end didn't impress me either. I don't understand why everyone calls it a masterpiece.

This anime is beautiful... I burst into tears, honestly.

But seriously, if my younger sister and father were killed in front of my eyes, I would not be able to forgive, but I would wish this man to die. I don't understand this. I really like the opening, a beautiful melody, it will definitely play in my head for another week) I really liked Yuki's pair/The cat, I feel sorry for her, sincerely loves her, but he is in love with another.... The babies are beautiful. In general, it is really good, I will advise others)

The most controversial anime I've watched. I started watching to join the classics, I immediately realized that it was worth it. I was immediately surprised by the wild mix of genres and characters. The coolest thing is that it looks like a continuous story. The ending is amazing.
But my God, how much absurdity there is here, how incomprehensible the moments of stupidity of the characters remain, how much you do not believe in their forgiveness. The motivation of the Persians at certain moments is just pure stupidity. And the character of the Cat as some kind of polytheist is a separate topic (no, really, who does he love there at all?)
It is very annoying that the creator of the anime could not make it perfect, but followed the path of less resistance.

I don't remember how long I've been crying like that while watching something....I was deeply touched by the story, I really want to review it again, but it seems that I will not be able to cry out another sea of tears

I don't know why you were crying here, I was just looking out of curiosity, what's going to happen next? What the fuck is going to happen? In general, I'm used to the characters, but everything looks somehow ridiculous and awkward, at one point they talk sweetly and kindly, and then a bloodbath begins. In general, the experience is definitely interesting, the opening is pleasant, but I expected much more from the anime, some kind of serious drama with a prescribed script. For the revenge scene of that poor dog, a separate like, it was fair and powerful!

I didn't understand the ending at all. And in general, not much. Where did the second split personality go, the point of forgiving the murderer. there are a million questions, but I don't even want to look for answers to them. A passer-by. Although we will make a discount for 2004. Then
maybe the world was perceived differently

Not bad, but I expected more. In topaz, wherever I came across, they talked about something ultra-hard, deep, so sad that it was unreadable. Of all this, the truth is only about cruelty. There is no strong depth here. It's just "what if you give a person great strength from birth." And you're just watching from the sidelines. There is no special depth here. But the story is quite interesting. People are cruel, and children, even more so, are mostly devoid of empathy.
The only thing I didn't like was the Cat. In the beginning, everything was clear, but the ending, honestly, was amazing. Practically Jesus, I can't imagine a man who, just like that, immediately after gaining memories of who killed his family, is like this, I don't care.
Plus, it's objectively a bit silly. Yes, people have created such conditions for the formation of her personality, but she is a murderer. And she had already killed people close to him out of jealousy.
Is there any danger? In fact, this is the same as justifying any childhood-crippled homicidal maniac. The same romanticization. And it was impossible to let her go. Forgiveness does not always solve, especially in cases of mental instability.
But despite this, it's not bad, but I'm unlikely to revise 4/5.

I looked at it a couple of years ago to join the classics, all the zero years I've only heard about it.
Utter nonsense.

Love one, still memorable after years. Theme music, especially.

Classic! Must-see for everyone in general - it touches the soul and makes you think! I love it!

I don't understand how Lucy can love a cat./Nude in its two forms
Lucy - killed his family and many other people, behaves like the last creature + the last time they saw each other was in childhood and there can be no question of any love
Nude - if you love her, then as a younger sister, because if a Cat loves her as a girl, then this is some kind of pedophilia, her intellectual development is literally like that of a three-year-old
I don't know, I was so pissed off by the scene where they are sucking, it's very insulting for Yuka

A highly overrated anime, perhaps because it was one of the first to flood into us. There are a lot of inconsistencies, death-machines are stupid, people around them too. The message of cruelty, on the one hand, is clear, I feel sorry for the dog, there is no doubt. On the other hand, you killed my family, I spent a year in a mental hospital, we were children, but I've loved you ever since - man, you go back to the mental hospital. And if you still love them both, then you are a pedophile and a pervert, because one of her hypostases is with the development of a small child, and the other is a killer worse than Bundy, Dahmer and others. And yes, where are the elves with the songs?

A legendary and epic anime. I have reviewed it for the first time now after the first viewing on 06/22/2011 23:18 (thanks to kinopoisk). Of course, he already holds the bar by a stretch, but for the noughties it was a masterpiece.
