Elfen Lied

I think it does a terrible job at handling some of the topics it tries to cover in conjunction to the themes of the series. Parts of it are done extremely well and other parts come off as weird and low key exploitative/unneeded. Personally, I enjoyed the series overall and I think some people are honestly just extremely overdramatic in their reviews both good and bad. Y’all. There are worse anime’s out there that are definitely without a doubt exploitative (COUGH!! MIDORI!!), but you also absolutely cannot say that this was a perfect masterpiece given some of the issues in handling some.. interesting(?).. plot points.
