i L-O-V-E-D this show, though i DO NOT recomend it to those that dislike blood, severed limbs, invisible 'weapons' and a different species of human, this show is much like a sci-fi set in present time... completely wonderful, good plot, but it could have been longer... i got hooked and the ending left me wanting more.. i had to read a fan fic of it just to get over the ending... it was so... incom... read more
I'm sure of it! this is the sadest anime I've ever seen...I highly recomend...HOWEVER!!!! If you are not over 13 years old I'd like you to STAY AWAY from this anime!
I have good resons for saying this!
1. THIS ANIME CONTAINS A LOT OF VOILENCE! LIKE, TOTAL BLOOD BATH! It may not sound bad, but it is, but PLEASE! You watch at your own risk..
I think this anime is 15+, but I still watched is when I was eleven. It's a lot of gore and nudity, but I don't care. The storyline is awesome and the characters are awesome. This is truly one of the saddest animes I've seen.
Description:The Diclonius, a mutated homo sapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possesses two horns in their heads, and has a "sixth sense" which gives it telekinetic abilities. Due to this dangerous power, they have been captured and isolated in laboratories by the government. The Diclonius, a mutated homo sapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possesses two horns in their heads, and has a "sixth sense" which gives it telekinetic abilities. Due to this dangerous power, they have been captured and isolated in laboratories by the government. Lucy, a young and psychotic Diclonius, manages to break free of her confines and brutally murder most of the guards in the laboratory, only to get shot in the head as she makes her escape. She survives and manages to drift along to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her. Having lost her memories, she was named after the only thing that she can now say, "Nyuu," and the two allow her to stay at Kouta's home. However, it appears that the evil "Lucy" is not dead just yet...
"In short, gore, nudity, violence, and profanity. Need anything else?
Not my absolute favorite anime, but still up there. It's worth watching down in 1-2 sittings as it's very short.
EpP: 13/13
Also can't forget this guy LOL.

This may have someone think I'm nuts or something else but this is a odd case in a way. It's definitely not for everyone due to how brutal this series is violent wise and the nudity that is present as well. Honestly it oddly work, it still had my interest to the very end and a good part of the important characters aside a few and evenLucy, and Kurama tur"

"I remember being taken aback when seeing Lucy with her bare breasts out in the open and leisurely walking out of a facility to take a dive from a big cliff. Scandal! First time I ever saw nudity in an anime series. I had a minor 'I am 12 and what is this' moment. This series is one of a kind, even today."

"Probably "isn't for everyone," but I think this anime would have an interesting effect upon any viewer.
Something about it has a sort of universal quality and accessibility to it, but that doesn't mean that everyone will like it, in fact, many probably hate it.
I, on the other hand, like the sexuality, crudeness, and starkness to this anime, along with some of the scenery.
I think it is a daring anime and a valid cult object."
"My take: Elfen is one the most saddening,gory anime I have ever watched. Beware very mature content. But depsite its gore, its is also one of the most compelling drama anime out. If you can handle the gore, bottom line its a must watch anime.

"Elfen Lied is a pretty weird (but still quite good!) anime and I would definitely not recommend this to be the first anime you see, well, at least not if you don't have an open mind.
Blood and gore, human kitties with horns... naked, genre...drama, are you prepared for Elfen Lied?

Recommended: Sub
Episodes: 13, Tier 2
