Time to drop this on the floor.The whole series is one giant exploitation story, with seemingly deep characters. Sadly, the characters are as bland as British food - and if the characters are unrelatable, no amount of personal drama is going to be believable. I think I understand what author has tried to say, and what's the hook of this setup - it's just not presented in a manner that keeps me interested. Eden: It's an Endless World shows a similar set of problems (how cruel/selfish people are) in a way more palatable manner. Elfen Lied starts on a good note, and then wastes a good setup flailing around without any tangible purpose.
