Thanks Max, though doesn't look like it get updated much. I'll check it out.

I see. I was thinking there might be something like this russian site, the subs only catalog site where various fansubber groups upload their work. Oh well, guess i'm out of luck. Thanks anyway, jGray.

I actually have no idea what you're looking for, but I'll just share my process when I decide I want to try a new series.

I typically just look at the article on MyAnimeList to find out whichever subgroup is rated the highest for whatever given show (If Commie hasn't subbed it) then head over to their website to download.  Most groups now host on nyaa so you could always just go straight there.

@CCS: Okay, I definitely see your point now. When you put it that way, Elfen Lied was pretty terrible.

@iRo: I'm assuming you're just looking to see which groups did what shows? http://fansubdb.com/
Otherwise nyaa, bakabt, and some other sites are your friends.

I don't think I'd go that far. I don't think it's terrible. I've just come to recognize that it doesn't do anything new or particularly special with its plot or characters; in other words, it doesn't suck, but it just doesn't stand out. It's not one of the several truly great anime out there and it never will be. It won't be Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo or Ghost in the Shell or Eva and the manga couldn't begin to aspire to the heights of many of the manga I've read.

Again, I don't hate Elfen Lied. I even like it, for what it's worth. But, I recognize it for what it is; it's cheap entertainment that relies almost entirely on its shock value.

Yep, I get what you mean. Elfen Lied was never a top spot in any lists, but I do have to say that the shock value of Elfen Lied, especially since it seemed like every chapter in the manga left off on a cliffhanger, was one of the few things I've experienced in the past year or two that I felt I really wanted to marathon it, and not just because I'm bored.

I already know that you've been reading TWGOK, but if you want some very good manga that will keep you in marathon mode, you've gotta read FMA, One Piece and - I recall you saying that you already started this one - Negima!. Unfortunately Negima doesn't get very good until a couple of volumes in, but you'll notice a very abrupt change of pace and tone. Once you hit that change, it becomes really, really good. The Seven Deadly Sins is also quite promising, though it's still only in its infancy. Hard to judge what it might become.
