Hmm, me specifically? Alrighty then! It was quite the series. Probably the darkest anime I've ever seen and one of the darkest series of anything I've ever seen. It was a very decent plot too. The scenery was very artistic and it was used quite well blended in with the story. The characters had quite a lot of development as well, more than most animes. The only problem I really had was that the ending was rather abrupt. Some characters didn't exactly get their fill of story in the end and a few things remained unanswered. But overall, Elfen Lied is up there on my top animes.
OH, and it's not hentai whatsoever! Just because nudity is an element in the story does not constitute hentai. If you are afraid to watch Elfen Lied because you fear a bunch of nude women caressing each other with no definitive plotline, you are mistaken =)

I thought it was pretty brilliant. It's one of those things that the longer time passes the more it sinks into you and you realize just how good it was. It ranged from being very incredibly dark and depressing to bittersweet to just plain cute. It had a wide variety of emotions and character development as mike mentioned. I agree with the abrupt ending and there were a bunch of questions that were left unanswered but at the same time I kind of like this because it keeps you guessing as to what happened.
And yes it is incredibly violent and gory and there is tons of nudity but it certainly isn't hentai.

I'm glad to finally have gotten the chance to watch this anime, as it reaches current top spot on my anime list, even though I haven't watched like, any... I know. The story development had a very nice pace to it, the characters personalities seemed dispersed correctly, and I really did like the dark overtone. The twist at the end wasn't really a big deal I guess, but my jaw still dropped. And I surprised none of the other two brought this up, but the comic relief throughout the entire series was much appreciated to me. It actually kept me laughing from time to time, and it was a nice blend of things, to see how well that worked out.
And now I'm just following pattern here...
None of the nudity elements in the show ever came close to being considered hentai. The two big things there are that: 1. The "private areas" on each person's body was not detailed to the extent that pornographic illustrators follow. And 2. There was absolutely no sex with the series.
With that, its got my regards for what I'll call "Carefully safe." If you haven't seen it, and you're looking for a good dark story, reward yourself by witnessing the gloriousness that is Elfin Lied. Its a great series that is only dropped by a seemingly rushed ending. Watch it, you'll be glad you did. My verdict, 8.8/10.
