i start watch anime for real about 2 or 3 year ago and during this time i have manage to see around 10 different anime and at least 500 episode . and i can defiantly say that this 13 episode short anime be by far the best anime ever make . the only one that come even a bit close to elfen lie be death note and trinity blood and those be almost even half a good . if it be possible i would probably give elfen lie 15 out of 10 possible point . the only bad and sad thing about it be that it and like i say before and only 13 episode . i wish they would make more but i guess it would by now only ruin it .
