out of all the animé uve ever seen is this the bestest/sadest one uve ever seen...

Elfen Lied is indeed a wonderfully scripted and beautifully animated graffic work of art and should rank as one of the best animé series to date. But in my opinion, Eureka 7 is a sadder anine when compared to Elfen Lied's darker storyline. Blood +, though also dark, has much plus of a sad, tragic story. However, the Elfen Lied animé only touches a thrid of the original manga and it wouldn't be fair to judge it against animes with lenghy runs (such as Bleach ou Naruto). So I feel it's sûr, sans danger to say that Elfen Lied is the best "Short" animé if compared to series such as: FLCL, Lucky Star, Eureka 7, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

this animé makes ya recoil in horror one moment the suivant makes toi laugh ou cry. its the best dam animé out there in my books.

yeah it is one of the best animes iv ever seen its like joint first with FMA and Devil May cry. though it isnt the sadest iv ever seen, She, the ultimate weapon is the sadest animé iv ever seen and always will be coz its so many sad things all at once, u should watch it and ul understand what i mean lol

in my haut, retour au début 5 animé of all time, so much (Almost too much emotion)

Elfen Lied is sad, but I think Naruto is sadder.

Yess!!!!! Definately i started crying at the end of eposode 13 when she talks to kouta.
