I started watching this series because of the very good reviews. I wanted something different and thought "why not? seems good from what I read".

Six episodes... after six episodes I'm sick of this Elfen Lied. Am I the only one to find it dull and distasteful? Gore is ok, violence is ok. I'm not one of these persons who can't watch a show when it's too violent. I've enjoyed many horror series which contained extreme violence. But mixing Chobits' premises with gratuitous nudity and limbs flying everywhere is just... silly. And boring. I don't know if later it'll get better, but considering it's 13 episodes, the fact I'm sick of it after the first half means that even if it gets better, in my eyes won't be enough to be saved.
