Elfen Lied
At only a half-season long, Elfen Lied is shorter than most but it is extremely dense in its content. I liked everything about this series, from the artwork to the audio to the story, but especially the characters. This is a very well planned production, without any gaps and with a very deep emotional connection between the characters as well as with the audience. Although some of the basic elements could be considered cliché, it is the execution that makes it excel. This is an anime where you will care what happens to whom, and unfortunately not everyone comes out the way they should in an ideal world.
I did recognize a few things that were unexpectedly nice. The first was the artwork. I really like the character design style, but I don't know whose style it is. Recognizing the voice talent of Kira Vincent-Davis was also interesting, and now that I've looked her up she has been in many animes that I like. I also recognized Jessica Boone and Tiffany Grant. I mistook Cynthia Martinez's voice for Hillary Haag.
It should be noted that this series is extremely graphic. The nudity is not really out of place, and I don't consider nudity to be a problem in general, but the method by which people are killed is extreme and shown in full detail.
