Elfen Lied: An Abridged Series is on a hiatus. This is due to two major main reasons-
1. I have been unhappy with the quality of Episodes 1 and 2. I can't fault my voice actress, she has been brilliant and not to mention very, very patient. All delays have been completely my doing. It is my own voice acting performance and editing that I am unhappy with, to the point where if I had the time I would re-edit both episodes completely. This series is something I have wanted to do since I saw the anime which is now coming up to 7 years ago and I want to do it right. I know a lot of you are only on this page because you believe I'm going to creating an actual second season of the anime, this abridged series is the closest I'm going to be able to come to giving anyone that, as such I want it to be done right so fans can enjoy it. I don't want to half-arse another three or four episodes just to butcher the original idea I had to make this series. I'd rather do one episode a year if it meant that people could really enjoy that episode.
2. In a few words; my personal life. I'm at a time in my life where I need to divide my time between working towards a career, thinking about my future and maintaining and managing the relationships in my life. Of course everybody goes through this but position is something of somewhat desperation. Even now as I write this at 2.35am on a Tuesday morning I have to ask myself; what is even going on in my life right now? I don't have any kind of mental illness or anything like that, I'm just someone who is taking a little logner to work out exactly what it is that I want to do with my life; working it out as well as maintaining and balancing life is completely exhausting, and it comes back to my first point of not wanting to half-arse more videos.
So when will the series come back? I don't know is the honest answer. The videos will start coming again when I am in a place where I can make them and be proud of them. I have some idea written down and I'd like to put them to good use I just don't know when yet.
But I would like to take just a bit space to thank Mina Rose, my voice actress for her infinite amount of patience. She's a really cool person and there is no delay between when I've given her scripts and she has sent me back the voice recordings. I couldn't recommend her more as a person to work with.
Thanks for reading.
Stay beautiful.
