Thanks, I am eager to see yours!
it's not that I find Elfen Lied odd it's just that there are many more animes that can be classified as odd. Boogiepop, Lain, Texhnolyze come to mind. I think that it's overly done for the genre it is based on. I understand they wanted to make a psychological horror type anime and have a cute little girl as the lead for all the destruction but it did not gel so well for me, they took two extremes then blended them together and it did not work out so well.

Hellsing Ultimate, Black Lagoon and Berserk work well simply because they are dark fantasy anime/mangas, and violence is a part of the story telling.

I would place Elfen Lied along with 3x3 eyes, M.D Geist and Kite where the violence is less of a plot mechanic more of a way to surprise or shock people.
