Hi I'm Dranzerstorm
You may remember me as a regular contestant on the caption battle contest.
Welcome to Retro Retrospective, my world dedicated to the old guard of the Otaku world; expect some reviews of the old & obscure, and in-depth geeky knowledge with the occasional top ten and I now have a logo.

Little info about me
Well I'm British and I'm in to all things animated and nostalgia.
I've grown up with every cartoon going and have watched hundreds of anime.
Oh and to answer a question I was asked once, no I don't wear glasses in real life, I would wear Loke's sunglasses though.

Elfen Lied Review

First of many reviews today.

Diclonius are a type of mutant human with quite malicious and horrific powers known as vectors, invisible arms that rip apart humans faster than a food blender. The Diclonius Lucy is relentlessly pursued by the lab that kept her locked up but loses her memory upon escape developing a child like mind and starts living with Kouta and Yuka. Time will tell whether or not Lucy gets captured but more importantly how many people will be left standing by the end.
Not the worst and certainly not the most needlessly blood soaked anime, that goes to Blood-C. Elfen Lied is a balancing act of morality and you start becoming unsure of who to support as early as episode 1, the bloodshed easily blurring the lines of whether or not humanity deserves it or not. Humanity is painted as monsters at various points but can you blame them when these creatures can easily rip a body to shreds with very little remorse. It's hard to find an answer.
Dub I find redundant as it's a show that can easily run with limited dialogue.
Final Verdict: It's hard to pinpoint the message when both sides are as bad as each other, a common occurrence in humanity's desire to be the correct path, whether it be political, social or morally.
