Ergo Proxy is pretty good so is Elfin Lied. Elfin Lied has a ton of (and I by ton I mean shit load) of blood and gore so just a warning but it does have a good story to it.
Man, I could make so many points about how badly the story of Elfin Lied was done, but it'd be a spoiler. It's a series that I want to love so much but can't exactly bring myself to. Actually, if they had made the story a full 24 episode series, it'd be SOOO much better and a lot of things would be explained and characters would, you know, actually develop. I guess, my point is, is that characters developed too fast for what they feel at the end. It felt forced.
Ugh, I feel like the naysayer of Elfen Lied, don't get me wrong, it was really enjoyable and I like the romance they tried to inject into it. It was bittersweet as far as drama goes. But I think they went about it wrong.
So many people put it up on a pedestal, saying it's so great, I just have to play the devil's advocate because I don't think it deserved the praise it got.
