Jeez, it's been years.... but I remember I loved Elfen Lied & wanted to read the manga after watching it, which was like 100 some chapters.... I loved that even more and the ending made me literally cry ;-; I think a new season would definitely be worth it, as with any series, the manga went into way more detail and brought in several new characters.

I wish there was a sequel that was such a beautiful story. The ova got me excited except I realized it was just a prequel to the main series.

Well at the actual OVA episode was in the way in both a prequel and episode 10.5 it fleshed out a lot more of Lucy's back story and it gave Nana a greater purpose

They remade FMA with FMA:Brotherhood, why not Elfen Lied? I loved the anime, but I could always watch more :)

Guys, again, they won't do a sequel. The anime is based off a manga that ended years ago, and the manga has so many differences. For instance, the main character is actually named Kaede, not Lucy and not Nyuu, the latter are personalities developed. Kaede's true personality is much different from either of those. Its a very fucked up story if you think about it. Kouta plays with Kaede, Kaede kills his most immediate family members, leaving the kid scarred for life. Kaede later returns after escape from a research facility where she and her other kind were experimented on, and the entire mutation that creates Diclonii is actually human-made. The anime ending sucked. The anime concluded itself after 3 episodes composed entirely of filler bullshit because they'd already caught up to the manga. Thats not to say the anime was bad, but its far from perfect. The animation is good, the Japanese VA was good, the English is godawful and the sound engineer from that must have sorted cocaine because the audio mixing is terrible. The plot is basically made up after episode 8 and ends on a super dumb cliffhanger with no resolution to the plot. In the manga, Kaede goes insane and tries to destroy the world along with everyone who hates, her, her vectors wrap around the entire earth at one point until she pretty much uses her entropy up and dies in Kouta's arms. Years later Kouta has married his cousin, had a child, and he and his kid go to the park and see two kids that look like Kaede and Lucy, and then he looks at his child and thinks if Kaede, Lucy and Nyuu all got reincarnated. The idea though in the anime that the horns are the source of the vectors is not the horns is pretty much thrown out as wounded diclonius humans in the manga can use them.
