Elfen Lied

Ok, another anime review. Since this anime is only 13 episodes plus an OVA, i able to finished it in almost 1 night and an afternoon. Yeah, I'm pretty free u can say that, lolz.

Anyway, Elfen Lied is based on a manga by Lynn Okamoto and was produced by VAP in 2004. The story centers on Lucy, one of the human mutants (aka homo superior lolz) called "diclonius" which have horns on their heads ( look more like cat ears than horns) All diclonii (plural) possess Vector, invisible arms that can stretch and slice human bodies like tofu and throw things at lethal speed that are lying within their "arms" length which are vary between diclonii.
Back to the story- Lucy, in her escape from the facility that locked her up, got hit in her head and fell into the sea. She then drift into care of two normal teenager, Kouta and Yuka. But Lucy's mind has reduced to the state of an infant and was named Nyuu due to the only sound she able to make then. And her captives begin to search for her due to her dangerous abilities.

Ok, before you watch tis anime, let me warn u a bit- it filled to the brim with graphic violence especially in the starting escaping scene where Lucy is killing soldiers left and right O.0 Also there are a lot of nudity ;) But the core of the story deals with the inhuman of so-called humans, acceptance, love and forgiveness with a lot of social and psychology issues thrown in. All in all, it's 1 of the best anime i seen.

And do take notice in the opening and ending sequences, they r based on the famous painting of Gustav Klimt, a great fine artist. Nice.
