It really depends what you like in an anime. I remember when I first watched it that many years ago, I believe I rather enjoyed it. However, after my vast experience of MORE anime, I probably won't like it as much.

The excessive violence is fine. The nudity is fine. (It's not like nudity is EVERYWHERE...) The story is crap, though.

And now that I think about it, he really shouldn't have forgiven Lucy so easily.

I really don't want to flat out tell you "No, don't bother watching the rest", because it's just my opinion about it. I personally have no desire to watch it again. I guess go ahead and finish off the series, because it really isn't very long, and you might enjoy it.

Well, if you liked it so far than go for it, I mean you're almost halfway through so there is no reason to quit right now. As for disappointment, just because I was disappointed doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be.

I watched Elfen Lied a few years ago and I didn't care much for it either. The story and characters didn't even impress me at all.

As for the violence/gore, I think I prefer Higurashi and Umineko over Elfen Lied.
They have a much better story and much cuter/interesting characters...plus I like mystery/horror more.

I've seen it. Pretty good aswell, but has lots of gory stuff and nudity, not like that's bad thing. They could have definatly improved on the ending though. if you're considering watching it i suggest reading the manga instead.
