I would argue that's a misappropriation of Lord of the Flies, but as I'm not up on Elfen Lied, I really can't comment any further.Yamamaya (post: 1335849) wrote:The piece of literature I would compare it to would be Lord of the Flies. They both declare that humans are at their very core savage beings.
Would this anime be appropriate for a 14 year old?

The violence in Elfen Lied is very unrealstic but crazily bloody.
If you can't take very heavy violence, then don't watch it, simple as that.
Although I found a few scenes a bit funny in a morbid way.
"Honey I'm home..." *head flies off*

No one under 21 should watch this show, unless of course they'd like to ruin any sexual innocence they might have.
I've never watched it, but I've heard plenty about it and I've read a lot about it.
I really don't understand why some animators in Japan feel the disgusting need to create such sinfully, bloody messes for people to watch.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

Yes, I know it isn't hentai, but if you read a few reviews you'll find some very disturbing things in there.
(I'm sorry if I'm offending you if you like the show, but this is just what I believe.)
Any way long story short, don't watch it unless you are above the age of 18. Agreed?

I think I remember that part xD;
As violent as it was, I still think the overall message makes up for the blood and nudity (which was only in the first episode if I recall correctly) 8D
Agreed though, if you can't handle it, then by all means DO NOT watch it ^__^

Before anyone else posts giving their opinion as to why Elfen Lied is inappropriate for a 14-year-old, I would encourage them to consider that the person asking the question said it was answered 25 posts ago.
I would also encourage them to consider that the thread is now locked.
