I have watched Elfen Lied and some parts of it were quite confusing to get your head round?

Can you answer these questions I have please?



1. Was there some kind of statement in the anime which told you what happens when a diclonius has it's horn taken off?



2. Did Kurama commit suicide with his daughter in the end of the anime because he had took the lives of other people's children which were diclonius in the past but he never had the heart to kill his own so he felt selfish? And did he kill himself as well as his daughter because he felt too selfish to stay alive?



3. What was your most disturbing/difficult to watch scene? Mine was when the boys were bashing the puppy to death, I found that really hard to watch but I did. In fact any scene where Mayu's(I think that's her name, I mean that runaway girl) puppy was in danger or any scene where those boys were abusing Lucy was really difficult to watch, but I did.



4. What does Lucy and Khotda kissing those blank dummies in the intro symbolise?



5. Did you cry at any scenes in this? If so, what were they and how sad would you rate them on a scale of 1 - 10? 1 being the least saddest and 10 being the most saddest.



6. I know it's just an anime but don't you think it's strange how the diclonius in this anime have been isolated all their life with no education and can actually verbally construct a sentence when talking to someone?



7. What happened to that ruthless soldier who wore shades, hated the diclonius and was the leader of an army unit at the end of the anime?



8. Why did Lucy have that helmet on at the start of the anime? It's a wonder, especially since the other diclonius didn't have any on?



9. What happened to Mayu's(runaway girl) original father?



10. What happened to Lucy in the scene when the soldiers started to shoot at her offscreen and her other horn came off in the final episode?



11. This is possibly my biggest query; I just didn't get the ending. What happened to Lucy in the scene where the soldiers shot at her and her horn was shot off in the final episode? Why did the clock start working when the silhouette appeared at the entrance of the house and was that silhouette Lucy? How did she survive when the soldiers shot her horn off? Can't the diclonius not use their vectors when they're in pain and getting her horn shot off would hurt like hell since I think she was knocked unconscious when she got her first one taken off!?



12. Why did she go to the soldiers near the end of the final episode when she could have easily escaped with Khotda ?



13. How were the director of the diclonius facility and his son watered down diclonius'? Did they only have slight traces of diclonius DNA inide them when they were born?



14. Did this anime deeply touch your heart, change your personality and give you a whole new perspective on life? What would you give it out of 10 and give it a small review please?



15. What was the symbolism/hidden meaning behind this whole anime?


I have watched Elfen Lied and some parts of it were quite confusing to get your head round?
1. There's no hidden meaning to the horn being taken off. The horn is part of the diclonius' skull matter. So, its like taking or breaking a bone by force.



2. Yes and no. Yes because he wanted to atone from killing all the female diclonius. And, no because he didn't want to commit suicide.



3. I agree with you, and the part where Kohta where he watched his father and sister being killed was sad and horrifying. Also, the scene where Lucy's first friend died was just tragic. The scene where the boys bashing the puppies head was morbid, and tragic. My hair was standing on end, and I felt like wanting to kill those kids too.



4.It doesn't really mean anything. I think it just means love, I guess, but that's weird.



5.I did cry.



%26gt;%26gt;The bashing on the puppies head (9)

%26gt;%26gt;Maya being homeless, and taking care of herself and the puppy (10)



6. Didn't you remember that diclonius are able to learn faster than the average human being? As soon as they turn 3, they're able to have good speech, and they're very clever. They're isolated because of their intense emotions that enables them to accidentally or intentionally kill another.



7. I guess he just moves on. We don't really know what happens to him, except the fact that he's waiting for a good time to kill Lucy.



8.She was given a helmet because she can instantly kill someone within her range by just looking at them. The helmit is to conceal her eyesight.



9. Maya's father might have been yelled at by the mother. We aren't so sure of what happens to father because that scene was just left out. The anime is focusing on the main and supporting characters.



10. This part has been a real cliffhanger as well. We are not sure. It is in my own belief that she might have survived the blows.



11. This is a huge cliffhanger as I stated in #11. I think the sillouhette is indeed Lucy. The size is just right. The clock starts working as soon as other person who fixes it comes back. In the first few episodes, we see Nyu playing with it, and she might have fixed it by accident.



12. She didn't want to run away, and she wanted to end it by killing all of them off.



13. Actually, most diclonius being a mother's womb is like 7/10. Its not hereditary either. It just comes out of no where. A certain gene is mutated inside the mother's womb, creating the diclonius.



14. It really did. The sad and tragic scenes was something to cry over. It was a really good anime, with a mix of genre mixed into this small 13 episode series: romance, comedy, tragedy, horror, gore, adventure, sci-fi and fantasy. I'd give it 10/10. The characters are loveable to.



15. The meaning %26quot;Be friends with someone that is abnormal.%26quot;

%26quot;Don't betray them.%26quot;

%26quot;You're all family, even though you aren't related to them by blood.%26quot;

Sorry I don't feel like answering all I'm busy sorry.



Ok ok the ending...-sspoiler



Well when her horns is shot off you can kind of make up your own ending.



1. She takes the bullets and dies.

2.She gets the horns broken off so she dies like a human and not a monster.

3. She dies because she does not want Khota to be hurt again

4. Some say she survives too



The ending could be anything....but! I think the Manga is diffrent and longer so you should check it out....



Ummmm I was sad at the end...also mad.



First scene was the sickest to me 'cause i did not expect the anime to start like that.



Oh this show taught me that humans are the evil ones!
