My favorite anime is called Elfen Lied.  I'm a twisted individual who loves good Pathos, and it's hard to find better Pathos then Elfen Lied.  Anyway, it all started with me doing the dishes and thinking of the first card.  It made me laugh, because I'm a horrible person.  Here she is, Nana Show
What happens in the show is that she's a mustant who has four invisible super arms.  While in a fight with the main character, she gets her arms and legs ripped off.  She's then given fake ones, and several times through the show they fall off, get pulled off, etc.

Our next character is the main character and the one who pulled off Nana's arms and legs. May I proudly present to you, Nyu Lucy Show
Sorry, I don't have the propper flip card template... It hasn't uploaded right, so that's what I'm doing for it.  The next card came up when I was looking for a good picture for Lucy... I knew I had to use it for something, so I decided to use the image from her as a child, just after her puppy gets bludgened to death by some bullies.  Nothing builds character quiet like Childhood Trauma Show
Our last card here came up while looking for images for Nana... I was originally going to use a similar scene later on, when she is getting bandaged, but this one just seemed better for a cruel white pascifism... And fits the theme for todays cards.  Missing Limbs Show
.  So far, I've also made two more cards that I like, but can't find a good picture for.

Diclonius Infection
Enchantment -- Aura (Uncommon)
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature has, ", Tap another creature that you control: Put a 1/1 colorless mutant creature token onto the battlefield."
If the enchanted creature is a mutant, it gets +4/+0, reach, first strike and trample.

Though mutants are the main characters, they are relatively rare, and not exactly common in the set, so it would mostly see play as a support card, or token producer.

Our last card is the set's Lord of the Pit .

Mariko
Legendary Creature -- Mutant (Mythic)
Trample, First Strike
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature, or have Mariko deal damage equal to its power to you.
: Destroy target creature.  Put two +1/+1 counters on Mariko.
0/1

Many of these were on the Magic Resources Site years ago. It was removed around the time 2HG became a sanctioned format.

That's okay, ChaosLight.  Elfen Lied as I said is my favorite anime.  Just enough blood... possibly too many boob scenes... but everybody hurst SOOOO MUCH by the end... I just love it.

Bando will be a tim that burns one of your creatures for 2 before burning two opposing creatures for 2.

Really, Bando is a jerk... and I just read the back of my DVD collection and laughed... "Nyu is a babe in the woods. Lucy is a vicious killer.  If only they didn't share the same body!" Such a bad description!  Still, though... good anime.

I've tried to get into Elfen Lied, but it really is not my thing.

I once read a chapter a friend was reading, and had to quit halfway through because I almost threw up.

I'm sure it has a good plot because everyone keeps telling me it does, but to me it just seems like a snuff film.

I like horror with good endings like parasyte, or funny ironic endings like franken fran.

I've never seen the show or read the manga, but Elfen Lied+"Bodies" by Drowning Pool is a very popular AMV combination. 

I definitely want to watch it someday, but I have to work myself up to it. My first intro was an AMV that basically screamed "This anime has nothing but violence, sadness and boobs", and I'm not much for violence or sadness unless I'm in the mood (*sob*Haibane Reinmei made me feel like a girl for crying).
Etiamnunc sto, etiamsi caelum ruat.

I also adored this show. And I'm not ashamed to say that it made me cry several times. I'm susceptible to that sort of thing, though - and for some reason real-life tragedies make me want to laugh. I have to hold it in. Anyway, cute idea. I really like Bando. Make 'im.

If you're not an SD, then you aren't doing it right.
