Well I just finally decided to watch this anime cause someone said there was a lot of nudity? /perv
There wasn't that much nudity though O.o I think the person obviously isn't comfortable with naked boobs and what not.
It was a very interesting anime. I just watched 10 episodes last night and just finished the last 3 this morning.
Such a sad anime :( Poor Kouta. Poor Lucy too. Such tragedy. Anyways, has anyone else watched this anime?
If so, what did you think of it? I didn't see any topics on this anime and it appears that if there was it's over a year old so I figured I'd make a new thread about it.

P.S. I really love the music box that Kouta has. Such a sad and beautiful melody.

I want to beat the animators for doing the FMA thing to it.
Manga was the most incredibly epic story of bad assery ever and they left it all out.

I liked the anime more then the manga. I really hated the manga because [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Lucy[/SPOILER] died.

To see the actual ending you have to read the manga where it left off you will cry

Yeah, agreed.
I loved the anime more than the manga still.

I saw it and loved it, I cried at some parts, it pulled on the heart strings.
After I saw it, I found myself to be able to have a straight face to naked women.
I'm not kidding. LOL.

LOL same here.
First time 'round I always closed my eyes or scrolled down when the bare boobs came in, but then the second time my only reaction was 'meh'.
Still need to read the manga though.

Have you heard of this thing called hen tie?
Oh btw, read the manga too since it's got a different ending.
The manga started first and the anime started midway of the manga so that's why there's a divergence.

Yes, I've watched it.

I love the tastefulness of the nudity they put in it. Though it was sexual in undertones, it meant so much more.

Singlehandedly the most overrated anime of the past decade. Protip: interesting characters are not solely their [tragic] backstories. Once you get past the shock value of the gore (there's been better anime with more violent themes) and nudity (there's been better-used nudity in various anime), it's really a mess that abandons every premise it initially set out to expand upon. The most interesting character (Lucy) is replaced through 90% of the show with that godawful Nyuu. With the exception of Miyu and possibly Nana/the director, the other characters in the present (not flashbacks) are cardboard archetypes and if you take the time to stop humming the theme song in your head (which admittedly, is a beautiful song), this becomes even more apparent. If I could throw Kouta and Yuuka off a bridge, believe me, I would.
tl;dr: This vastly overrated series fills me with unbridled rage because too many people turn their brains off when watching it then declare it the "best anime evar." It's not the worst anime I've seen, but there's a lot less in it than it likes people to think, and certainly a lot less in it than people say there is.

I never said it was the best anime ever. Sorry to hear that you dislike it so much. I simply found it to be a fascinating anime. I have yet to think that any anime is the best anime cause frankly, I feel there is no so called "best anime". I have favorite animes but I wouldn't go so far as to say that they are the "best anime".
That's just my take on it.
In the end, either you enjoy it, or you don't. I happened to enjoy it.
