You might want to add why Klimt has something to do with anime.

From dormcat's link:
"The images of the opening animation borrow liberally from the imagery of the paintings of Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), particularly his most famous painting, "The Kiss" (1907/1908, currently in Vienna, in the Österreichische Museum für Angewandte Kunst). [...] "In the opening credits, in addition to the imagery borrowed from "The Kiss", at least three more of Klimt's paintings are referenced. During the flash of Yuka's image (00:31-00:32s), her pose and appearance come from the painting "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I"(1907). During the flash of Nana's image (00:37-00:38s), her pose comes from the painting "Portrait of Mada Primavesi"(1912). And finally, during Lucy's second to last appearance(01:11-01m:20s), her pose comes from the painting "Water Serpents I"(1904–1907)." |

I've wondered where that nice artwork in Elfen Lied's openings and DVD covers came from.

There's also the opening for Sora no Woto; both titles being directed by Mamoru Kanbe. I believe there were some homages in an episode of Mawaru Penguindrum also.
Who the Hell is Gustav Klimt and What does He Have to do with Anime? |
