| description: | The diclonius, otherwise known as a two-horned human, are mutants of the human species, may well be the next step in human evolution. The diclonius have horns and strong telekinetic powers represented by "arms". However with this great power, they can easily destroy the human race. Fearful of their power, humans quarantined the diclonius into secret research facilities to study. However, in a freak accident, a enraged female diclonius escaped, killing many guards in the process. Interesting enough, the female escapee appears to have suffered amnesia after her escape and floated to Yuigahama of Kamakura city. There, she meets two people named Kouta and Yuka, who name the female diclonius "Nyuu", and decide that they all should live together. | |
swirly says: This is currently my favorite anime. My problem in recommending it to people is that it does have some kind of twisted moments...moments that could shock or upset some people. It also has some nudity in it which could also bother various people. So while I love Elfen Lied, I tend to be a little shy about recommending it to people.
queendarcy says: I have to say this series reminds me of sin city and kill bill combined with cute innocent girls. The violence and nudity is a bit much and is why I rated a low rewatchability. However the charcters are well thought up, as is the story with its twists and turns leading one way then anouther on how everything is connected. There is no fluff story, everything has a reason and is tied in the main plot in some way.
