some dude said not to watch elfen lied in an anime recommendation thread and i totally did.
i was expecting copious amounts of gore but not this FBI watchlist-worthy shit.
i was browsing stuff with my manga reading app yesterday when i somehow ended up on elfen lied and i was like "ehy isn't that gorey anime with loli's that someone mentioned on thebore?"
and i think i found the first manga were "so bad it's good" applies, this is a complete and utter hilarious train wreck... where do i begin
- every girl in this manga is drawn with huuuuuuuuuge eyes that make for like 80% of their face, they use these eyes to cry like little bitches at least once every 10 pages mostly because they were angry at the main character or someone maimed the shit out of them (once in a while, someone maimed them while being angry at the main character)
- speaking of the latter, there is lot of girl getting dismembered or hit and the whole things feels like they were trying to go for a softcore version of gore porn but the whole thing is so badly drawn that it's just kinda hilarious and everytime someone loses an arm it looks more like the incredible crash dummies than an actual squicky scene (spoilered for NSFW boobs)

*DONK* - the story is like the worst collection of clichè ever, there is a childhood friend (who wants to bone the main character just because...) an amnesia,some childhood promise... every character that orbits around the MC is
bait that wants to bone him, the only other male character's in the whole story are the villains, it's either bait or nothing
- oh and apparently the whole story takes place in a future where the police,social service and empathy have long gone extinct, here is a scene where the villain choke's a newborn baby, just because kicking a puppy wouldn't clearly be enough to show how EVIL and TWISTED he is

- and if what i wrote until now wasn't cringeworth enough, there is a 11 year old little girl that spends most of her time being naked and calling the scientist villain above "daddy!" "i'll do anything for you daddy!
"
she says
and now i wait for the FBI, when they come i'll tell them it was all bonbon fault
