  What
 I hate about Elfen Lied is the amount of generic anime shoved into it; I
 absolutely hate formulaic female protagonists (unless they are 
generally funny).
  I can't stand most of this summer's shows because of how anime they are.
  I liked Gosick, but Dantalian and Kamisama no Memochou are too close to the basic mold for me to watch em. 
  I
 say all of this but if it is a generic harem, like Infinite Stratos or 
Ladies v Butlers, I'd keep watching if the fan service was legit - but 
in my more serious anime, I need the characters to have a little more to
 em. 
  I think if Elfen Lied came out in 2010, it would not be as 
popular is it is today. The reason why so many people list it in this 
top anime charts is because they watched it when they were younger and 
when they only had access to the DVDs at their local rental/buy store.  |
