Elfen Lied

Elfin Lied is officialy my new favourite anime series. I have fallen completely in love with it but whatching this will make you feel pain...

Extreme violence, intense drama, uber cuteness, love, comedy and phsychological mahem. 13 episodes with one secret episode making it 14 total.

Lucy is a creature called a Diclonius with telekenetic abilities in the form of "vectors." She escapes from a research facility where she was held captive and makes a sadistic masacre on her way out. Kouta and his cousin Yuka find Lucy who has lost her memory and is hence forth called Nyu by them, Nyu is surprising helpless and docile. Soon their happy little family grows with the addition of Mayu, a runaway from an abusive household, and Nana, another Diclonius. Together they have formed and interesting and yet still loving family but the secrets of the Diclonius and a mysterious organisation threatens that.

What I have come to know and love about Elfin Lied is that it explores the cruelty and depression in this world and how good people try to fight against that, but that's just my opinion. I walked away from whatching this anime with a desire to fight just like that. So not a typical happy-go-lucky anime series but in the end, no regrets (smile). Good people shouldn't get hurt....

All the episodes can be found on YouTube but none the less

get the dvd version, no regrets.
