Although the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Elfen Lied is its bloody opening sequence (either that, or the countless ecchi scenes involving the child-like Nyuu), there's also another part which ranks high up among our most memorable anime moments. Namely the 2-episode flashback to Lucy's childhood, which reveals her as a very cute, albeit still killer loli. I would go as far as saying I'd hit her, but the thought of having my limbs ripped apart isn't particularly arousing. So I'll settle for an imaginary nose-pinch, and a confy place for Lucy / Nyuu as our new loli of the month.


Given the recent Akihabara massacre, I guess it's pretty obvious how I came to think about Elfen Lied all over again. And whenever that happens, I always end up listening to its opening song, "Lilium", for hours on end... Hell of a haunting tune! Which convenienting brings me to our new top: "Most obsessive anime song". So, which one gets you hooked?

And to keep things bloody, our new poll asks a rather politically-incorrect question: "What would you kill, if you went Shion-mode?" Yes, that Shion...
