| StoryElfen Lied takes place in Japan, focusing on a new strain of the human race - Diclonius, entirely similar to ordinary human beings, yet different at the genetic level and notable due to physical abnormalities, particularly a pair of short horn-like protrusions. One such Diclonius, Lucy, is the anti-heroine of the series: initially held in a facility built for experimentation, located off the coast of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, she manages to escape and wreak havoc, but is injured in the process, an event which causes her to develop a secondary, child-like personality known as Nyu. She is found by two local residents, Kohta, who studies at the local university, and his cousin Yuka. They agree to take her in, becoming involved with the numerous, often brutal, attempts to recapture Lucy by a Special Assault Team and a number of other Diclonius, who shift from oblivious to murderous frequently. Other characters include Bando, a SAT trooper who was mauled by Lucy and infected with a virus, and Kurama, a carrier of the virus. While the animated series ends with a fight between Lucy and Mariko, Kurama's daughter, after which Lucy disappears, the manga continues by showing the mad plans of Kakuzawa, leader of the Diclonius' research, and his ultimate failure. The world itself is endangered. The story is rarely completely action-packed, and while there are instances of brutal fights, they often end abruptly in massacres. Humanity is portrayed as extremely immoral, experimenting on the Diclonius constantly. The humans and Diclonius are prejudiced towards each other. It is unclear which of the two factions is truly evil; while humans are demonized through their cruelty over the Diclonius, the latter are depicted as bloody murderers from youth. This story has the part which was created by referencing Wikipedia, so the licence of GFDL is applied to this story. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2006/03/09 Best(+3 pnt) [Edit/Delete/Suggest to delete/Show only this review or post sympathy comment/] by T Zer0 (Skip) Review history[Good:4(100%) Normal:0(0%) Bad:0(0%)] / Provider: 24173 Host:24030 Browser: 6211 Without a doubt the most violent anime ever made. And yet it's also funny and touching and everything a great anime should be. And Nyu? Well, just imagine Chi from Chobits and add more blood than Samurai Champloo. You get the idea. Not to mention the opening theme is the most haunting hymn you've ever heard. 2005/08/20 Best(+3 pnt) [Edit/Delete/Suggest to delete/Show only this review or post sympathy comment/] by zeocit (Skip) Review history[Good:1(100%) Normal:0(0%) Bad:0(0%)] / Provider: 4846 Host:4649 Browser: 5284 One of the best shows ever. Deeply based w/ stuning proposital contradictions and deep ambiguity. Made to be hated but at the same time loved. Ambiguity is in it's essence. 2005/08/01 Best(+3 pnt) [Edit/Delete/Suggest to delete/Show only this review or post sympathy comment/] by Gus (Skip) Review history[Good:1(100%) Normal:0(0%) Bad:0(0%)] / Provider: 25283 Host:25146 Browser: 4184 This animated cartoon has naked scenes, but not in a erotic suggestion. But it has extremely brutal scenes of violence. I think that Elfen Lied is so good (in my opinion) because it shows the dark side of mankind, something that we do not want to see. The past of the characters shows this. The character design is very good. The opening theme is excellent, as well as the ending one. 2005/06/01 Good(+1 pnt) [Edit/Delete/Suggest to delete/Show only this review or post sympathy comment/] by TAKARAYA (Skip) Review history[Good:78(58%) Normal:57(42%) Bad:0(0%)] / Provider: 2388 Host:2362 Browser: 6305 In Japan, this animated cartoon is broadcast at midnight. This is an animated cartoon for adults. So, in the case of this animated cartoon, there are many cruel and erotic scenes. In this animated cartoon, there are unpleasant scenes. However, I do not dislike this animated cartoon. The story of this animated cartoon is attractive. And, the opening music of this animated cartoon is fantastic. The opening music of this animated cartoon is good. The character design of this animated cartoon is not bad. I do not dislike such character design. Lucy is a mysterious woman. She is continuing killing people using special capability. The action scene of this animated cartoon is comparatively good. I think that this animated cartoon is not trash though this animated cartoon has a lot of undesirable scenes. Post to this review list |

| 2009/01/27 [Edit/Delete/Suggest to delete/Show only this post] by gamadpuji@mail.ru (Skip) Provider: 1937 Host:2076 Browser: 2488 This best that I when or saw, very much I wish to see continuation. Whether I ask you will let know to all the second season or not, and already many people endure that and wait when it leaves, in all there lives hope of that that nevertheless it happens. We very much worry about Lucy and its further destiny with Koto. Yours faithfully from Russia |
