Sadly, the theory is that Lucy "died" and Nyu lived on. Basically means that Lucy died in pain and lives on as Nyu with everyone else. Huhu the entire anime made me bawl my eyes out the second time I watched it.
"Kouta... You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare. Those days that I spent with you, they were the only good days I have ever known. I cherish them. All this time, I've lived in hope of telling you how sorry I am. I fought armies just to have this chance. But now... There's nothing I can say that's good enough. I wanted to forget everything, so nothing could ever come between us. Kouta I'm so sorry, for all the sadness I've caused you. I'm so sorry. I know your life's been hard. You didn't deserve that sadness. I wish I could have done something."
That hit me. As I've had a very difficult childhood (my dad killed my mum and I was sent to a different family causing me to have a lot of pain and sadness. I also couldn't get any friends at school and I was bullied thoroughly. This song made me happy again and it was like the light in the darkness during that period of my life.) I am so happy that this song exists and I really like your story. Please keep on making comments like these!!!
@@TheMineturtle Honestly shocked it came up in my reccomended. Haven't seen Elfen Lied or thought of it in so long. Might have to rewatch it sometime soon.
This hits me with double feels because the show is super sad and it also reminds me of the easy days in middle school where I could just watch shows like this all day without a care in the world. Now I'm in uni and life is so hard, I miss when the only thing that mattered was enjoying life Fuck
@@silversilvia5488 wow I'm surprised people even replied to my emo ranting 😂 to be honest tho life is in a weird spot for me rn. I'm no longer in uni I dropped out a while ago. I have a full time job but honestly I dont like it at all but I'm not sure what to do. I really dont know where I'm headed in life and feel kinda lost, but overall I would say I'm in a better headspace then I was when I made this comment so life is getting better in a weird way :)
HeroOfOsiris THATS good, also bro just play video games to get away from dark moments in life idk if u do already but if u don’t try video games out, it help a lot with me, other wise I would already be dead ngl
@@silversilvia5488 I've been in a big anime phase lately so thats really keeping me going! Games have always been there for me too I'd be nothing without them

You didn't deserve that sadness. I wish I could have done something." ~Lucy One of my favorite quotes from the anime. In the very last episode.
I don't cry very often and this made me cry so hard.(only other time I cried in like the past 2 years was this and when Mine died inakame ga kill not because of the death but because of her last words to Tatsumi.Both extremely sad to me)

I have deeper memories with this song then anyone else at this point. I spent all day with my brother and sister in law, went traveling, to a theme park, and home again. We watched Elfen Lied until everyone fell asleep, it was the best night of my life. Now it's my nephews lullaby song; funny, how time flew, just like that.
when you are gone i realise that i have always be alone alone in this universe how can i open up my heart to anyone else when my heart vanished, completely love is just a feeling to many people, it can be gone easily but not me i love you not only because my feeling drives me to it's because i have decided to love you no matter what happens but it's nothing to you i am nothing to you..... there's just me, and the memories nothing is left just like it never happened you vanish just like you never existed in my life didn't this anime tell the truth of life? love always end in sorrow we always end in sorrow there is no escape the winners are those who don't know how to love the losers are those who try to love too hard everything is a lie Elfen Lied Love Lied
This was the first non-shounan anime I had ever watched, and it got me into so many other shows. It's not the best anime or manga out there (in fact it isn't even close), but it'll always be one of my favorites.
***** Welcome to the NHK, Shiki, Gurren Lagaan, or Paranoia Agent. In order they're: a dark humored slice of life about modern day Japan, a horror anime about vampires (it's far more than just that though), "get hype" the anime, and my favorite work of art of all time.
did you know, that if you watch the animeand read through the elfen lied manga completely, you wont be able to listen through the first part of this song without your eyes watering.
ehh - I think its pretty deep and intense, the gore and darkness was part of that for me. then again I dont like and often despise most things which are 'popular' so i shouldn't be the one to judge that.
This is a dangerous ass anime. It gets you with the viceral nature of the anime and the intrigue of what she is, then very very slowly adds emotion to the anime. Then around midway just rams you in the face with a brick at 100miles an hour with just pure emotion that doesn't let up till the ending. Fucking amazing anime.
A quote I think fits the message: "The world pushes us without mercy, and when some push back the world points and cries evil". If you don't get what it is saying it is basically saying that the world pushes those who are different, but when the different push back, the different are the monsters. The message of the anime, in my opinion, is the same as the meaning of the quote to me. Kaede was different, treated different, and hurt for being different, yet she was considered the monster by normal people. The message of the anime is pretty deep, speaking of prejudice and how those who are different are treated like monsters, and yet treating them such is okay to do so without being considered a monster. Once again, this is my opinion of the message, accept it or deny it, it's what I get from the story.
I think that is beutiful when boy cryes. Just when i see the boy i hug him and tell him that when a boy cryes,it meens that he is spesical. In the world there are so litle boys that cry. Its beutiful,they are breave to cry.... I just it feels good and seeing they cry.... they are people to ! ;)
First time I watched Elfen Lied 9 years ago (I was 17) and it calls very strong emotions in me. Since that days I always remembered storylines of heroes of this anime, but life moves on even you don't want this and other things (films, games, studies, work etc.) gradually led me aside of this scenario (time lays waste all things). So, I remembered: Elfen Lied is very strong composition, but that's all... And about week ago I suddenly decided to rewatch it... All impressions totally captured me again! And even more than before I think. Now I'm 26, and even now I cried at some moments. It's not just nostalgia (although it is too), but the anime itself is divine! Now I think I could rewatch Elfen Lied in any age and it will easily awake all these emotions again. I even read the manga few days ago (never did it before). Although, in my opinion, manga is immeasurably worse than anime. And this song - "Lilium" is something indescribable... And all this little details - music box, broken clock etc. only amplified the atmosphere. Not to mention, nature of characters (and especially the ending) in anime much better than in manga. What about 2 season... I think it would be unnecessary. Now it's harmonious series and I'm afraid additional episodes could ruin it.
I just watched Elfenlied and still after the 5th time watching it im still having so many fun watching this anime. And once again im sitting here and crying because of the ending.. God I love Elfenlied so much
This melody made me think deep shit. Are we alone in the universe? Does God exist? Will I ever get a girlfriend? Depressing shit this song is, yet it is one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard, and it goes perfectly with Elfen Lied.
Elfen Lied continues to remind me to this day, looking back after years. Anime is a dying breed of entertainment - maybe not specifically since trash like Attack on Titan but it's not this great anymore, Boku Dake ga Inai macho was deep for like a second. This song is great but the original song Lilium in Latin is better IMO, it encapsulates the music box part part at the end as well.
+Panzer Kamper (PanzerKamper769) yes, no, no. also, anime is still good: akagami no shirayukihime just wrapped up a second season, with a possible third. guilty crown was awesome. Noragami aragoto is awaiting announcement on third season. tokyo ghoul is confirmed for winter/early spring release. i could go on. of course, there are always the bad ones. highschool DxD, for example.
This song and the original intro to Naruto are some of my favorites. They've always calmed me down when I needed to chill, and got me excited whenever I was about to watch another episode. People can go ahead and say I'm a weab for loving these animes, but that will never change the fact that they bring me so much nostalgia and so much joy.
I agree. My whole life I tried to steer clear from anime because I thought it was gay, even tho a lot of anime’s looked and sounded really cool. Eventually my Asian friend got me into it. I’ve only seen a few, but I know this one will always be in my heart. :D
This song seems so much more peaceful yet heartbroken when done in the music box fashion, and much more personal as well; I've always loved the music but this one actually drudges up that pang from when the show decided to say "fuck your feelings, I'm in control of them now" and proceeded to kneed our hearts like dough
Cried at this because I discovered this story in my teens and I remember coming across this exact video with that picture of Lucy. The sad forlorn look on her face touched me along with the little tune of 'Elfin Lied'. Now at 26 it reminds me of when I was that teenager....staring at that picture at my desk at home.....
The poem (if you haven't read it go now and read it or you won't understand what I will be saying) is much more related to the anime than you think.The elf symbolizes different people (i.e Lucy) and how we call them but not for the reason that they want (i.e bully them make them suffer use them for experiments) and how even when they fall we don't care about them and if they interrupt our "plans" that they are evil.sorry for my bad English and explanation.
And here I am about 6 years later after seeing Elfen Lied, still crying to this touching song. It's beautiful, and yet so sad. It brings back all the feelings I experienced watching the series. ~love
I watched it a year ago. I usually watch weird/funnier animes so this hit me hard. I am now trying to forget the tragic events so I don't end up crying in a corner again.
laura checa Ya he visto el anime 2 veces, ambas he llorado mucho, ahora me estoy leyendo el anime y la verdad es que hay bastantes diferencias, por ejemplo en el anime acaba de una forma y en el manga de otra, en el manga se explica de donde salió esta nueva raza, así que si aun no has leído el manga te lo recomiendo. Ahora voy a seguir escuchando esta canción mientras lloro porque se me ha metido algo dentro de ambos ojos.
laura checa Ayer por la noche terminé de leer el manga y sin duda, es muchísimo mejor que el anime y cuando digo muchísimo es muchísimo, por regla general aborrezco los finales abiertos pero el final del manga, anoche, cuando lo leí me puso de mal humor, pero hoy pensándolo, me ha llegado a gustar AVISO DE SPOILER Que tras 10 años, Kouta se vuelva a encontrar con Kaede, bueno, las 2 Kaedes, Lucy y niu, me parece precioso, quiero imaginar que tras verlas estas corren hacia sus brazos y con su hija Kouta y las demás se abrazan, este es el final que yo quiero y como es abierto y no se continuará, así sera.
WasdCat Tambien lo creo... esta historia hubiera impactado completamente al mundo si la hubiesen hecho completa y fiel al manga... no entiendo que debio de haber pasado en ese tiempo o contra que problemas liaron los productores que no pudieron llevarla acabo... pero son tantas cosas buenas como malas, las que hubo en el anime.... Y cuando vienes a escuchar este tono, no puedes evitar sentir esa sensación de tristeza inmensurable, y no solo eso, sientes miedo, nostalgia, preocupacion, sientes tantas cosas que no caben en tu mente, y lo unico que pasa por ellla es el "si hubiera".... solo eso, el buscar la felicidad de Lucy es lo que mas anhelamos todos....
Я плачу. Впервые за последнее 7 лет. Может я не мужчина, но эта песня она того стоит. Я готов плакать 10 минут час и сколько потребуется. Спасибо большое я надеюсь что у автора этого видеоролика все хорошо и замечательно.
Lucy is a killer but she has emotions. Nyuu is like a baby. When she came to the coast she was like a baby. They both are so beautiful cute i love them soooo much
quien no sueña alguna vez con un mundo feliz pero al despertar sólo puedes recordar lo feliz que eras ahí y se va la felicidad y vuelves a tu triste mundo lleno de tristeza,pero al tratar de recrear ese mundo perfecto,feliz y lleno de armonía y paz,tratas sólo tratas.... pero en vano ya que ese mundo el cual tanto anhelas no existe solo esta en tu imaginación sólo en tu imaginación que quiere paz en un mundo corrompido, sólo buscas felicidad pero no puedes hallarla sólo lo único que puedes hacer es subsistir de sonrisas falsas.... gracias por leer si lo leíste todo, estos son mis sentimientos que quiero expresar att: V.A.C.F
omg i had this song stuck in my head for years!! like i watched this anime when i was at middle school and now i'm 20 and i totally forgot this existed and now baaaam! the song from my memories hahahah
This anime is what I take pride in watching. Nothing will ever be a classic thriller like this anime. Nostalgia came inside and out of my soul. Nyu/Lucy among her species are terrifying :0.
This piece resonates with me, the whole story and tragedy is amazing. I loved this and just finished it. The first thing I did after that was look for the theme. Thank you!!
Undoubtedly the most beautiful song, and anime, that I've ever seen. There are other shows that might hit you in the feels, but this, it hurt me. The hopeful sadness of this series isn't something I can really describe, but it was something I needed to feel.
Peter Griffin On the contrary, I think it was good to keep it short. With only 13 episodes, the story was told perfectly without the fillers and repetition that would undoubtedly be included if the show were longer. While I'm sad to see it end, I'm also satisfied.
Such a dark and great anime it was! Sucks that it was short lived, but I guess that's just how some animes are :( at least we have Maria Nikki/future diary :)
+I'll take a potato chip.... And eat it! What animes out there are similar to Future Diary? I just finished it a day ago.. I'm so late ._. it was such an intense anime. Any recommendations?
always coming back here when the feels get stirred up... Cant tell if this is helping or making it worse anymore, but it sure gets me that "i could be doing something more important" feeling i get when i seem to be trapped by something.
when I hear this song.. I think about the manga version of this story.... Lucy had a younger brother in the manga... he was used as a killing machine.. and he was only about 6 when he met lucy for the first time....he walked up to her.. gave her a smile.......but before 1 word was said..........lucy cut of his head, killing him instantaneously........the reason she killed him was because she didn't want him to grow up and become like her.. she wanted him to be free... god lucy I can't imagine the kind of life you must have had.... im so sorry... R.I.P
This was my very first anime, what I watched completely, and those days when I started to see, I had terrible nightmares, because of it, but I thought then, it's an amazing anime and I continued watching and it's amazing. This will be my favourite anime forever 😍
I love this melody, elfenlied was my first anime and i watched it 13 times, and every week i come just to listen to this melody it's just so great. Thank you for this uplode. Since 6 years this meolody is in my head and it is still oh so beautiful...
I think it was quite a true ending. Lucy/Nyu did bear her own guilty obsession for years and when Kouta forgive her, that made her gone with peace. Kouta did also bear the pain for watching the girl he love killed his own family, but he still forgive her then just to watch another one he loved dying right before his eyes. His cousin might be annoying a little bit, but she's the one stand beside him for years, helped him move on with life. So that's a reasonable ending for me even though it's so sad to see. Nyu is the pure kind one who love the life and people, but that's some kind of running from the reality. Lucy is pure too, but with the instinct killing to repay what the world did to her. Both cannot ending good. The day she finds the way out for her also be the day she repay for what she did. Such... sad.
Yeah Lucy and Nyu where two of a kind I miss them its like you said Nyu is inocent and pure like Lucy ecept Lucy has a killing instinct to protect herself
even tough the anime didn't fallow the manga's version I love both, they seriously got on my heart. and both with a tragical end. 😭😭😭😭😭😢😭😭 RIGHT ON THE KOKORO 💔💔
LeDubKitty The manga and the anime start out similar, but eventually split off into different stories. The anime is more of a realistic thing going on and the manga is longer, but has supernatural elements. It's all of a matter of opinion, really, but I like the manga better because the ending isn't a bunch of bullshit.
This song is very beautiful. I feel sad... Because this anime is Sad story. I'm japanese. I'm glad this anime is spread in the world． Japanese anime is the best
I hope Lucy finds peace.
Sadly, the theory is that Lucy "died" and Nyu lived on. Basically means that Lucy died in pain and lives on as Nyu with everyone else. Huhu the entire anime made me bawl my eyes out the second time I watched it.
Lucy dies in the manga, the manga ending is 10x more depressing than the anime ending..
yeah, i said that to just comfort myself a little..
:(
+Nicholas December But I thought she came back in the manga...
Jackson. I've read that she got reincarnated in 2 little twin girls.
everytime i hear this song i cry and remember how much hurt the characters were iin this anime😢
Me too T_T
+Fallnight44 😖ur right dude
me too
Me too... Now, I cry. T.T
Everytime i hear this song i cry because it was my gf favorite anime... now she doesnt exist anymore.
"Kouta... You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare.
Those days that I spent with you, they were the only good days I have ever known. I cherish them.
All this time, I've lived in hope of telling you how sorry I am. I fought armies just to have this chance.
But now... There's nothing I can say that's good enough.
I wanted to forget everything, so nothing could ever come between us.
Kouta I'm so sorry, for all the sadness I've caused you. I'm so sorry.
I know your life's been hard. You didn't deserve that sadness. I wish I could have done something."
I read this while listening. my heart is in millions of pieces and I'm bawling so hard 😭😭😭
+Kyrin Armstrong same 😭
That hit me. As I've had a very difficult childhood (my dad killed my mum and I was sent to a different family causing me to have a lot of pain and sadness. I also couldn't get any friends at school and I was bullied thoroughly. This song made me happy again and it was like the light in the darkness during that period of my life.) I am so happy that this song exists and I really like your story. Please keep on making comments like these!!!
that was my favorite scene
That scene made me cry ;w;
Hey, I doubt you look at this channel anymore but honestly, this is a blast from the past. The song, the anime. Thanks for it.
I do still use this channel! It's a nostalgic song for me too so I decided to relist this again :)
@@TheMineturtle Honestly shocked it came up in my reccomended. Haven't seen Elfen Lied or thought of it in so long. Might have to rewatch it sometime soon.
@@someloser6041 I recommend the Lucy vs Cranage deathbattle
God damn, another thing I haven't heard in a long time. Does Death Battle still do stuff?

As I watched this show, I wish I could just hug Lucy

hug lucy and die? i'm on the same boat as you guys :3
Luiggi Paez Me too dude,me too.

+JT Justini I Cried and I haven't cried in a long time
Who else thinks the intro of Elfen lied is beautiful? Also, who loves Lucy? ME! Lucy is so eerily calm, I just ugh 💕
The opening is actually pretty creepy but filled with sadness and it makes the song more creepy D:
I love Lucy too, she's mental but
Is not her fault
Hey

I can't quit listening to this. It brings me strange emotions... Melancholia filled with safety... Like a warm melancholia.
i get the same it feels peaceful but something else mixed in
ratchetcrafter i know. This music, it has all the peace and sadness of the world
I feel really unease listening to this.. It's so creepy to me.. but I still.. like to listen to it for some reason. D:
Yuno Gasai i find it rather funny that someone who named him/her-self yuno gasai and says he/she finds it unease to listen to

This makes me go really deep into my thoughts................. Really deep.
Your not alone....
My dear friend, you have no thoughts at all.

Esta melodía es como un viaje en el tiempo a nuestra niñes o como cuando eramos felices y nos hace recordar eso
despues de 6 años confirmo que esto es mucho mas nostalgico que antes
I have deeper memories with this song then anyone else at this point. I spent all day with my brother and sister in law, went traveling, to a theme park, and home again. We watched Elfen Lied until everyone fell asleep, it was the best night of my life. Now it's my nephews lullaby song; funny, how time flew, just like that.
so beautiful.... *cries* i love this anime...want this song to be played at my funeral..
same here
ikr... i cant stop listening to it
I love this song. It's so beautiful. Sometimes I play it so I can fall asleep.
***** lol
I want to die happy lol. This song would kill me with feels lol.
even the strongest can't hold their emotions on sweet stuff like this
I Feel a bit of nostalgic to hear this song
when you are gone
i realise that i have always be alone
alone in this universe
how can i open up my heart to anyone else
when my heart vanished, completely
love is just a feeling to many people, it can be gone easily
but not me
i love you not only because my feeling drives me to
it's because i have decided to love you no matter what happens
but it's nothing to you
i am nothing to you.....
there's just me, and the memories
nothing is left
just like it never happened
you vanish
just like you never existed in my life
didn't this anime tell the truth of life?
love always end in sorrow
we always end in sorrow
there is no escape
the winners are those who don't know how to love
the losers are those who try to love too hard
everything is a lie
Elfen Lied
Love Lied
Love hurts
This was the first non-shounan anime I had ever watched, and it got me into so many other shows. It's not the best anime or manga out there (in fact it isn't even close), but it'll always be one of my favorites.
Any recommendations on hand? I enjoyed Elfen Lied, but I don't have enough time to search around for more through trial and error.
***** Welcome to the NHK, Shiki, Gurren Lagaan, or Paranoia Agent. In order they're: a dark humored slice of life about modern day Japan, a horror anime about vampires (it's far more than just that though), "get hype" the anime, and my favorite work of art of all time.
Thanks for the recommendations. :) I'll check them all out when I have time, but for now if you had to narrow it down to one, which would it be?
***** Welcome to the NHK has a better mix of drama and humor. It just starts off weird.
Thanks. I appreciate the input. :)
goes straight in to the heart and emotions this song and anime
BlueEyeGuy true
The melody music box makes you cry or ve sad bro
did you know, that if you watch the animeand read through the elfen lied manga completely, you wont be able to listen through the first part of this song without your eyes watering.
I've watched like 4 episodes of the show and it's already bringing out manly tears ;_;
when nana was talking with her papa in ep 4!!! the saddest moment of the series
i always get chills hearing this song. i listen to it to help me sleep
i would too, but saying i cried myself to sleep is a little depressing. LOL
Oh yeah, I've see the full "movie" some minutes ago and I can't stop crying. It hurts!!!
love: Elfen lied 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Inori Yuzuria I love elfen lied , Good for you , I love nana and nyu❤
Inori Yuzuria yeah is cool
Nyu nyu
she looks so sad in this picture but somehow she's happy too. ........I always cry while listening to it😭😭😢😫
UMESH KUMAR Pandey because she got to truly see him one......last......time......before.....it happened.
UMESH KUMAR Pandey i cant stop feeling sad everytime i listen to this
UMESH KUMAR Pandey I cry so hard evary time I listen to this when I get older and I have kids this melody is what my kid(s) will sleep to
Remember when this anime was popular?
Nope, but it doesn't really matter i guess.
no, not sure it was meant to be one of those series tbh; its so dark and has such deep meaning to it,,,
It's one of my favorite anime but i didn't think this would ever be popular. As you said it's pretty dark.
It was popular, people were attracted to it because they thought it was dark and interesting.
Even though the show is kinda garbo
ehh - I think its pretty deep and intense, the gore and darkness was part of that for me. then again I dont like and often despise most things which are 'popular' so i shouldn't be the one to judge that.
My nephew was jumping around and misbehaving so I put this song on and he immediately calmed down and started eating again. Miracle workers :D
Wow...☺ this music is magic
magic sound
+Un Fille -
Yes i like it too, just relaxing and bit melancholic,
tranquil and a kind of magic.
Wish have it in my music list on my cellphone.
+Miyu Chan Is it because it's creepy or just that calming?
+Miyu Chan Not when you watch the anime :/
This is a dangerous ass anime. It gets you with the viceral nature of the anime and the intrigue of what she is, then very very slowly adds emotion to the anime. Then around midway just rams you in the face with a brick at 100miles an hour with just pure emotion that doesn't let up till the ending. Fucking amazing anime.
I decided to play some RainyMod with this. I did not regret it.
i tested it and i can say when the rain is not loud its great and with thunder perfect, it makes it all to an experience with chill effect
GOD! I did the same *o* This song with rainy mood is so perfect *o*
Ah! I didn't think to do that. Thank you ^.^

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

You're not alone :)

I have this music box at home and it's just amazing.

It was about 10? years ago...I've found it on ebay :P
A quote I think fits the message: "The world pushes us without mercy, and when some push back the world points and cries evil". If you don't get what it is saying it is basically saying that the world pushes those who are different, but when the different push back, the different are the monsters. The message of the anime, in my opinion, is the same as the meaning of the quote to me. Kaede was different, treated different, and hurt for being different, yet she was considered the monster by normal people. The message of the anime is pretty deep, speaking of prejudice and how those who are different are treated like monsters, and yet treating them such is okay to do so without being considered a monster. Once again, this is my opinion of the message, accept it or deny it, it's what I get from the story.
a nice interpretation! I respect yours.
This melody makes me shiver to this day. Elfen Lied is an experience I wish I could go through again for the first time.
Most underrated anime ever. Clearly on my top 10 all time.
Great song that i want to be played at my funeral.
I started this Video and tears ran down my face. after ten seconds it started raining. No shit. EVEN A BOY CAN CRY, OKAY?
No shit guys could cry, it's no secret.
I think that is beutiful when boy cryes. Just when i see the boy i hug him and tell him that when a boy cryes,it meens that he is spesical. In the world there are so litle boys that cry. Its beutiful,they are breave to cry.... I just it feels good and seeing they cry.... they are people to ! ;)
I cry too when listening sad songs like this. And i'm 56
Galina Georgieva *hug*
Wapitikorn77 yOU ARE A NICE BOY
I want this to be played at my wedding. Ya know if someone ever loves me ;_;
I love you
Nils Uchiha lol xD
Really? :D
that feel ._.
Kandy Kayne Lawl, searched for "Bullshit". Not dissapointed.
First time I watched Elfen Lied 9 years ago (I was 17) and it calls very strong emotions in me. Since that days I always remembered storylines of heroes of this anime, but life moves on even you don't want this and other things (films, games, studies, work etc.) gradually led me aside of this scenario (time lays waste all things). So, I remembered: Elfen Lied is very strong composition, but that's all...
And about week ago I suddenly decided to rewatch it... All impressions totally captured me again! And even more than before I think. Now I'm 26, and even now I cried at some moments.
It's not just nostalgia (although it is too), but the anime itself is divine!
Now I think I could rewatch Elfen Lied in any age and it will easily awake all these emotions again.
I even read the manga few days ago (never did it before). Although, in my opinion, manga is immeasurably worse than anime. And this song - "Lilium" is something indescribable... And all this little details - music box, broken clock etc. only amplified the atmosphere. Not to mention, nature of characters (and especially the ending) in anime much better than in manga.
What about 2 season... I think it would be unnecessary. Now it's harmonious series and I'm afraid additional episodes could ruin it.
this song is really nice it makes me feel relax and forgot about everything bad that happened
+Gael Ramirez makes me think about the anime... so sad, so sad
Ik
😢😢😢😢😢😢
+Gael Ramirez makes me think about everything that is sad xD but relaxs me too, for some reasons I,m still sad hearing this.
I think this anime was really good and the music too,I actually wanted this to continue.
I just watched Elfenlied and still after the 5th time watching it im still having so many fun watching this anime. And once again im sitting here and crying because of the ending.. God I love Elfenlied so much
You are not the only one who still cries ಥ_ಥ
Same here
Same
Yes it is very sad but the very end nobody know who was that person in front of the gate😵😭
Kevin Martinez it was Lucy (it is on VRV the have one episode for season 2)
This melody made me think deep shit.
Are we alone in the universe?
Does God exist?
Will I ever get a girlfriend?
Depressing shit this song is, yet it is one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard, and it goes perfectly with Elfen Lied.
"Will I every get a girlfriend?" Sorry but that make me laugh
"One of these things is not like the other"
dominic garcia Lol true that mate
Elfen Lied continues to remind me to this day, looking back after years. Anime is a dying breed of entertainment - maybe not specifically since trash like Attack on Titan but it's not this great anymore, Boku Dake ga Inai macho was deep for like a second.
This song is great but the original song Lilium in Latin is better IMO, it encapsulates the music box part part at the end as well.
Recktat19 I dont think anime is dying. Sure there were some terrible anime that have been released but I still enjoy watching anime mate.
+Panzer Kamper (PanzerKamper769)
yes, no, no.
also, anime is still good:
akagami no shirayukihime just wrapped up a second season, with a possible third. guilty crown was awesome. Noragami aragoto is awaiting announcement on third season. tokyo ghoul is confirmed for winter/early spring release. i could go on.
of course, there are always the bad ones. highschool DxD, for example.
espero que lucy encuentre esa paz que en tanto tiempo a estado buscando
elfen lied el mejor anime de toda mi vida
New ringtone for my phone.

Danke das es das Lied gibt das ist das einzigste was mich fröhlich macht
Warum macht das Lied dir 'froehlich' denn?
Ive watched elfen lied in my early days, now im letting my baby sleep on this tune❤️i still love this anime so muchh
aaawww
Just don't show your baby the anime until they're old enough xD
DamnSam i think im never gonna show her this anime at all😂😂 its too voilent lol
When she's 15-18 i think you should tell her about it. Worst outcome: she'll think you're a bit weird. Best outcome: she'll think you're awesome.
Lanii R I showed my cousin the anime
She got scarred for life😝
i just love this tone i find it relaxing and calm i don't see how others think it's creepy
*tune
THANK YOU I KNOW. its such a pretty tune and the anime was the best. the vocal track is good to
It's creepy, because it reminds them of the anime. On it's own, it's really a beautiful piece of music.
it's rather sad ;_;
I agree. It's relaxing and beautiful. ^-^
The Feels!, god I loved this anime
This song and the original intro to Naruto are some of my favorites. They've always calmed me down when I needed to chill, and got me excited whenever I was about to watch another episode. People can go ahead and say I'm a weab for loving these animes, but that will never change the fact that they bring me so much nostalgia and so much joy.
I love this song, it relaxes me and so does the anime
Beautiful song
shure is it gives me the chills
I just think the entire series is defined by this song. WHY IS THIS SONG SO SENTIMENTAL TO ME. q.q
Elfen Lied one of the best Anime i ever watched in my whole life
I agree. My whole life I tried to steer clear from anime because I thought it was gay, even tho a lot of anime’s looked and sounded really cool. Eventually my Asian friend got me into it. I’ve only seen a few, but I know this one will always be in my heart. :D
Jarod Hofmann once you find it, it’s impossible to let go
Why I'm crying ?💖😢
I dont know, because i crying too😢😢😢
Mirai Nikki !
+Nyuuu what :v
Chat wrong? :v
+Nyuuu Not Miral Nikki
It is Elfen lied
This song seems so much more peaceful yet heartbroken when done in the music box fashion, and much more personal as well; I've always loved the music but this one actually drudges up that pang from when the show decided to say "fuck your feelings, I'm in control of them now" and proceeded to kneed our hearts like dough
IWILLMAKEYOUASKQUESTIONS i mean you could have just said it's depressing as fuck.
I know I could have, but why spare words in the pursuit of critique and understanding?
nostalgia
Sip :v
:'v
Cried at this because I discovered this story in my teens and I remember coming across this exact video with that picture of Lucy. The sad forlorn look on her face touched me along with the little tune of 'Elfin Lied'. Now at 26 it reminds me of when I was that teenager....staring at that picture at my desk at home.....
The poem (if you haven't read it go now and read it or you won't understand what I will be saying) is much more related to the anime than you think.The elf symbolizes different people (i.e Lucy) and how we call them but not for the reason that they want (i.e bully them make them suffer use them for experiments) and how even when they fall we don't care about them and if they interrupt our "plans" that they are evil.sorry for my bad English and explanation.
Trust me, you use english better than a lot of people on the internet.
***** some people are just beyond repair
what's the name of the poem?
Flith Brin Elfen Lied (lol same name.)
That makes sense!!
And here I am about 6 years later after seeing Elfen Lied, still crying to this touching song. It's beautiful, and yet so sad. It brings back all the feelings I experienced watching the series. ~love
I watched it a year ago. I usually watch weird/funnier animes so this hit me hard. I am now trying to forget the tragic events so I don't end up crying in a corner again.
_I really want that music box next to me..._
me too ❤️
laura checa Ya he visto el anime 2 veces, ambas he llorado mucho, ahora me estoy leyendo el anime y la verdad es que hay bastantes diferencias, por ejemplo en el anime acaba de una forma y en el manga de otra, en el manga se explica de donde salió esta nueva raza, así que si aun no has leído el manga te lo recomiendo. Ahora voy a seguir escuchando esta canción mientras lloro porque se me ha metido algo dentro de ambos ojos.
laura checa Ayer por la noche terminé de leer el manga y sin duda, es muchísimo mejor que el anime y cuando digo muchísimo es muchísimo, por regla general aborrezco los finales abiertos pero el final del manga, anoche, cuando lo leí me puso de mal humor, pero hoy pensándolo, me ha llegado a gustar
AVISO DE SPOILER
Que tras 10 años, Kouta se vuelva a encontrar con Kaede, bueno, las 2 Kaedes, Lucy y niu, me parece precioso, quiero imaginar que tras verlas estas corren hacia sus brazos y con su hija Kouta y las demás se abrazan, este es el final que yo quiero y como es abierto y no se continuará, así sera.
WasdCat Tambien lo creo... esta historia hubiera impactado completamente al mundo si la hubiesen hecho completa y fiel al manga... no entiendo que debio de haber pasado en ese tiempo o contra que problemas liaron los productores que no pudieron llevarla acabo... pero son tantas cosas buenas como malas, las que hubo en el anime.... Y cuando vienes a escuchar este tono, no puedes evitar sentir esa sensación de tristeza inmensurable, y no solo eso, sientes miedo, nostalgia, preocupacion, sientes tantas cosas que no caben en tu mente, y lo unico que pasa por ellla es el "si hubiera".... solo eso, el buscar la felicidad de Lucy es lo que mas anhelamos todos....
Jorge Ignacio Sanchez Gomez Es una adaptación, los animes (así a ojo) en el 90% de los casos las diferencias con los mangas son realmente bestiales.
Я плачу. Впервые за последнее 7 лет. Может я не мужчина, но эта песня она того стоит. Я готов плакать 10 минут час и сколько потребуется. Спасибо большое я надеюсь что у автора этого видеоролика все хорошо и замечательно.
Lucy is a killer but she has emotions. Nyuu is like a baby. When she came to the coast she was like a baby.
They both are so beautiful cute i love them soooo much
The fact that "killers don't have emotions" is a myth.
Why does this remind me of Widowmaker? You know the exitement when you kill is the only emotion
Ezo Topal Cute, besides the fact they can rip you in half without even touching you.
you are right
i want to buy this music box
do it then
Yeah, just gotta cough up $220 for a high quality one.
Satan 😢😢😢😢😢 220$
Expensive
Satan $20 on ebay
Afaf Mzaiti I want to buy the music box 2

correct!~ 😢
Ayesha Saddiqa Who's that girl with the barrett?
she's lucy. Lucy (real name: Kaede) is the main character and anti-heroine/anti-villain of the Elfen Lied series.
This show crushed me from beginning to end. Especially the end. Most beautiful hug I've ever seen.
quien no sueña alguna vez con un mundo feliz pero al despertar sólo puedes recordar lo feliz que eras ahí y se va la felicidad y vuelves a tu triste mundo lleno de tristeza,pero al tratar de recrear ese mundo perfecto,feliz y lleno de armonía y paz,tratas sólo tratas.... pero en vano ya que ese mundo el cual tanto anhelas no existe solo esta en tu imaginación sólo en tu imaginación que quiere paz en un mundo corrompido, sólo buscas felicidad pero no puedes hallarla sólo lo único que puedes hacer es subsistir de sonrisas falsas....
gracias por leer si lo leíste todo, estos son mis sentimientos que quiero expresar
att: V.A.C.F
es la triste realidad
Te entiendo
que buenos sentimientos tienes
omg i had this song stuck in my head for years!! like i watched this anime when i was at middle school and now i'm 20 and i totally forgot this existed and now baaaam! the song from my memories hahahah
lol
This anime is what I take pride in watching. Nothing will ever be a classic thriller like this anime. Nostalgia came inside and out of my soul. Nyu/Lucy among her species are terrifying :0.
This piece resonates with me, the whole story and tragedy is amazing. I loved this and just finished it. The first thing I did after that was look for the theme. Thank you!!
when I heard this song in the anime I felt oddly at peace even though it may sound sad and creepy or depressing to some this song is really peaceful
Wie ich die Melodie liebe
Listening to this song makes me go insane
Shion Sonozaki ........
Shion Sonozaki It's a calm and wonderful piece of music? How?
Shino Takayo its shion SHE IS INSANE
0.0 Holy shit
İsmail Kerem Kabil EVERYONE IS INSANE!
Undoubtedly the most beautiful song, and anime, that I've ever seen. There are other shows that might hit you in the feels, but this, it hurt me. The hopeful sadness of this series isn't something I can really describe, but it was something I needed to feel.
Este fue mi anime favorito y lo es por ahora , llore en el final :c
***** ya somos tres pero ese no es el verdadero final ella no muere lee el manga y veras que pasa
Ya somos 5 me fasina este anime y ya me se el opening en piano...
donde puedo ver el manga
si pobre nana que do debastada y lucy ni le inporto
de nada
HTDavid TH donde encuentro el manga?,
This is the best anime !!
Agreed. DBZ and Pokemon are my childhood (and now adulthood) friends, but Elfen Lied is just amazing from start to very early finish.
yeah 13 episodes are too short..
Green Danger Definitely. The creators could have attained millions of fans if they had kept it going for longer.
Peter Griffin On the contrary, I think it was good to keep it short. With only 13 episodes, the story was told perfectly without the fillers and repetition that would undoubtedly be included if the show were longer. While I'm sad to see it end, I'm also satisfied.
the reason for no more episodes is that one of the creator dies
Such a dark and great anime it was! Sucks that it was short lived, but I guess that's just how some animes are :( at least we have Maria Nikki/future diary :)
+SWEGTOWER1337 the anime is short but the manga is way longer (and better), go read it ! There is just so much stuff that the anime didn't cover
+Foxali noo
あくま so... youre a boy?
+I'll take a potato chip.... And eat it! What animes out there are similar to Future Diary? I just finished it a day ago.. I'm so late ._. it was such an intense anime. Any recommendations?
あくま But.... I'm the most interesting person anyone could fuck! are you saying that because i'm a bag of potato chips???? seriously, im not!
always coming back here when the feels get stirred up... Cant tell if this is helping or making it worse anymore, but it sure gets me that "i could be doing something more important" feeling i get when i seem to be trapped by something.
The only anime that made me cry I'm a tough person(ok maybe that's a lie)
Watch Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World) to make those anime two. These two made me depressed for a week or so each.
Yuka made 340 accounts to dislike this
+Chinmay Adangale 357
Lol
I loled so hard thanks to you xDDD
This is not yuka, this is lucy (mew) she cuts her hair
+foxy y chica 363 now
when I hear this song.. I think about the manga version of this story.... Lucy had a younger brother in the manga... he was used as a killing machine.. and he was only about 6 when he met lucy for the first time....he walked up to her.. gave her a smile.......but before 1 word was said..........lucy cut of his head, killing him instantaneously........the reason she killed him was because she didn't want him to grow up and become like her.. she wanted him to be free... god lucy I can't imagine the kind of life you must have had.... im so sorry... R.I.P
So krass entspannt und emotional berührt zu gleich hat mich noch nie ein Lied...

jaa :')
Ich fang schon wieder an zu heulen ;(
Hoffentlich wird der irgendwann fortgesetzt fand den mega nice ;)
I haven't hear this in a year I forgot how amazing this anime was
This was my very first anime, what I watched completely, and those days when I started to see, I had terrible nightmares, because of it, but I thought then, it's an amazing anime and I continued watching and it's amazing. This will be my favourite anime forever 😍
I agree this was always an awesome anime I would never ever forget the times when Lucy killed herself for kouta R.I.P You beautiful angel
+maria Rodriguez.
She reappears at the end ;-; it could be her ghost tho. maybe, or she never died. That ending haunts me .
+Rena Hughes jeah, there must be second season, or something it can't end like that 😞
Me too brutha but sadly no season 2 poor Lucy 😔
i love this song it makes me cry some times
I love this melody, elfenlied was my first anime and i watched it 13 times, and every week i come just to listen to this melody it's just so great. Thank you for this uplode.
Since 6 years this meolody is in my head and it is still oh so beautiful...
Linkingx2 i have the Musicbox and i love the music the sounds she makes my happy and i cry😭😭😭
I thought the picture was of her carrying a 2DS and Crying XD
😂😂😂😂
Well it is shitty
+darnoc001 She found a shiny ponyta.... xD
+Mariana Segoviano Teach your fear , Leak your eyes of fear.
*And become god. (R.I.P Life of all country > †)*
"Dang it Mom, I wanted a 3DS XL!"
i love this music very much...
I think it was quite a true ending. Lucy/Nyu did bear her own guilty obsession for years and when Kouta forgive her, that made her gone with peace. Kouta did also bear the pain for watching the girl he love killed his own family, but he still forgive her then just to watch another one he loved dying right before his eyes. His cousin might be annoying a little bit, but she's the one stand beside him for years, helped him move on with life. So that's a reasonable ending for me even though it's so sad to see.
Nyu is the pure kind one who love the life and people, but that's some kind of running from the reality. Lucy is pure too, but with the instinct killing to repay what the world did to her. Both cannot ending good. The day she finds the way out for her also be the day she repay for what she did. Such... sad.
Yeah Lucy and Nyu where two of a kind I miss them its like you said Nyu is inocent and pure like Lucy ecept Lucy has a killing instinct to protect herself
Kouta said he will not forgive her
No matter how brutal Lucy can be she still has a heart
even tough the anime didn't fallow the manga's version I love both, they seriously got on my heart. and both with a tragical end. 😭😭😭😭😭😢😭😭
RIGHT ON THE KOKORO 💔💔
This was such a great anime. Wish it was extended... ;-; Probably gonna read the manga.
LeDubKitty the manga sucks
1221kary
I heard it's better. Sadly, I can't sit down and focus on books. ;-;
i read it and i'm telling u, the anime's way better
LeDubKitty The manga and the anime start out similar, but eventually split off into different stories. The anime is more of a realistic thing going on and the manga is longer, but has supernatural elements. It's all of a matter of opinion, really, but I like the manga better because the ending isn't a bunch of bullshit.
LeDubKitty The anime inspired me to make an fanfic after it,
I think this is one of the few anime that needs a reboot
This and Akame Ga Kill both need reboots.
This song is very beautiful.
I feel sad...
Because this anime is Sad story.
I'm japanese.
I'm glad this anime is spread in the world．
Japanese anime is the best
13 years later and this is still my favorite anime. Just can't stop the feels : (
i cant stop crying ;(
Elfen lied es de esos animes que aparecen una vez cada decada
i read the manga while this on loop lets just say i promised my self i wont cry 😭
I watched Elfen Lied a few years ago and now listening to this hits really hard 😩
