Yeah. When you look at anime, it seems like being cousins means absolutely nothing. Well, to be honest, it almost looks like that the girl automatically thinks she has better chances than anybody else...Originally posted by: XanBcoo
About Kota x Yuka, I wasn't suprised as I've seen quite a bit of incest in anime (some of it just implied however).
WTF are you saying? Lilium is a badass song on its own.Originally posted by: BOARD_of_command
Lilium sucks unless you watch Elfen Lied. It's the show that makes the song beautiful.
But the show does make the song that much better, though.
Shouldn't it be: Hornyness is natures way of telling us there is attraction?Originally posted by: Budweineken
No, attraction is nature's way of telling us we are horny.
Its pretty normal for cousins to love each other inside animes, dont know why, japanese are fucking crazy
Maybe they aren't "blood" cousins. Maybe it's just a term they use like aniki which doesn't have to mean big brother.Originally posted by: KaosSinner

Nah, I'm pretty sure they are. It was a shocker for me though. It was the first time I've seen incest in anime.Originally posted by: el_boss

Relevent to Elfen Leid: Nana's Everyday Life
I posted this in the webcomics topic. I recommend it to anyone who's seen Elfen Leid. It also references Gunslinger Girl. It's pretty short but really good. Go read it.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I'm sure someone posted those comics here before, good to see a link to the original site though...
Nanas everyday life was so funny. I really laughed my head off. Nanas so cuuuute. Id love to have her as a little sister.
About that incest thing. Im chinese so I pretty much know how the language concepts work as chinese and Japanese are similar in some ways. Normally for people who are older than you by lets say up to 8 years or so, you call them older brother or older sister, which is onichan, onesan, aniki. But in this case I think they are real cousins. This is incest, Im copletely sure. When you know a persons from your family, even if that person is the most beautiful youve ever seen its impossible for you to fall in love, coz the very thought that shes a cousin just changes your feelings ( or thats what I think). I think Japanese are totally nuts, brilliant people but theyre crazy as hell.
Well, that might be true for you, but not for others. Your theory doesn't hold a lot of water. As weird as they can be, incestuous relationships aren't exclusive to Japan, I'm afraid.When you know a persons from your family, even if that person is the most beautiful youve ever seen its impossible for you to fall in love, coz the very thought that shes a cousin just changes your feelings ( or thats what I think).

I actually associate incestous relationships more with america (the south) then Japan or any other country for that matter. But I don't really think this is a fair image of the southern states, but it is the one we get from movies and such. What I'm saying is don't believe everything you see or hear in movies or otherwise.Originally posted by: XanBcoo

All I have to say is that in my 12 years of seeing anime, I haven't encountered anything like this. It was a pleasant change from all those love stories with happy endings.
I personally don't like seeing meaningless blood and gore. However, like someone said before you need it here. It is like in Noir you have blood only when is necesary to the plot not just because.
i wanted to sucide when i saw the ending

Of Noir or Elfen Lied?
I dont agree with incest anyway, not that Im totally against it, just that its something weird in my opinion. It might become something normal like homosexuals, but I think Ill never get used to the idea.
The ending in elfen lied was the best ending it could have. I loved it loved it loved it.
I doubt it will ever become normal, because no amount of public acceptation changes the fact it multiplies the statistical risk of getting genetically defective offspring. I bet that's the original reason it became frowned upon, even if our ancestors had only a very vague idea of genetics.Originally posted by: KaosSinner

However, love knows no such boundaries
You may be right. These are really exceptional cases anyway. I dont think it happens very often so its not a big deal. Ive heard of many stories in which two people love each other and after some time they find out they are far cousins or something. Dont think it really happens in real life, but stories like those are quite sad. Even if you become a couple, adopting is always an option.
Well, in Elfen Lied's case, we might say that Kota and Nyu's dalliance might have produced far more weird offspring than Kota and Yuka's!
Lol. interesting point. But the story ends quite nicely, although you can consider it unfinished if you think about it. Who will be koutas wife? coz its not clear at all. I dont want to spoil so I wont mention anything specificOriginally posted by: Kraco
