Ello people.

This is.. in reply to those who ask "Who's Lucy" and "What's your skin" and general questions to why i'm lucy =.=.. because i'm being asked quite a bit. Thought i may as well give some info on site.

This is the background, to my skin.

The skin's Lucy, from Elfen Lied.
Most of you won't know what Elfen Lied is.. it's one of my favorite series/shows/anything.

Note: Mr.Anime was wrong on one thing, diclonius wasn't made in a laboratory, they were pursued to be put into labs after Lucy started killing, but Lucy was the first one to come to the surface in the world, she was the Original. Hence why they hunted her so much.

I think this sums it up pretty well:
"This show isn't about blood, senseless gore, nudity, or violence.It
centers around the idea that is humans divide each other due to
differences. Elfen Lied involves themes of alienation, revenge,
abuse,jealousy,regret and humanity. Yes,the show contains nudity and
violence,but to truly understand this anime don't judge it on those
factors. This animes theme is actually something we should learn from. It
is a heartwarming story that will stick with someone for many years. One
of my fave animes. <3"

Most music vids you'll find on youtube on it, will be a mix of blood and gore, and won't portray the anime as it is.
A means to a point, the comment i posted above, is what i refer to most in reply to these videos.

Oh crap man. I really want to watch it, but I want to know... define "gore" for this anime. Does it mean, body parts chopped up with intestines spilled on the floor with blood spurting everywhere while the psychotic murderer has a very disturbing grin on their face as they laugh and caress the very weapon they killed the person with?

I dunno. If it's anything like that, I wouldn't want to watch it. I am not good with blood etc. It does seem like a very good anime other than the "horror"(my definition of horror) parts.

Yes, there IS body parts and intestines and the like.
but, NO it's not some psychopath, it's Lucy with a frown asking herself "Why can't anyone accept me for who i am, and decide that I'm the monster because of my horns" LOL HORNY erm *cough* every nudity, or violent scene serves a purpose. there is little/no fan service in this anime too, you'll be too fucked up by what the moment means instead of the details on what's actually happening.

Episode 1, though, sets the standard of how bloody it can get.
If you survive episode 1, you'll get past it all no worries, blood wise.

Lol, okay. So what you're saying is basically the same as "Yo, Frog, if you want to know if you're cut out for jumping off of cliffs for fun, then try jumping off of this very tall cliff and if you manage to not die, you're good to go for the rest."

Not very reassuring.... I guess I'llgive it a go. (maybe)
