Elfen Lied

[Lizarazu]

an anime.. with.. just.. is diferent ;)



The main character is Lucy, a teenage diclonius girl around eighteen years old. In the anime, she has four vectors with a limited range of two meters, however in the manga, she appears to have many more vectors with greater range. Within her two-meter range, she can be swift and lethal, and will use any nearby objects as high velocity projectiles to kill at greater distances. She is also capable of stopping or deflecting most standard ammunition when she concentrates on the task. Lucy has developed strong emotions of hatred and vengeance towards humans mainly because of how she was treated by the humans around her as a child, who made fun of her horns and called her a freak. They said she was "freaky" because she didn't laugh or cry, and so, just to make her cry, they killed her only friend, a stray dog, in front of her. Consequently, she discounts non-diclonii, claiming they are not real people. She seems to lack empathy, kills without much concern, and acts somewhat sadistically, such as tearing off Nana's limbs (Nana is another teenage diclonius around fourteen-years-old) when she came to retrieve her. Despite this lack of concern for human life, she will not harm Kohta or Kurama. Kohta for the love she once had for him, and Kurama for her desire to make him feel the pain she had felt.

Nyu is a split personality of Lucy that developed after a .50 BMG round ricocheted off a metallic helmet encasing her head. Nyu has a childlike personality and infantile knowledge of the world, forgetting even that she is a diclonius and how to use or manifest her vectors leaving her a human with horns. She initially lacks spoken language skills; however, she eventually learns a handful of words and phrases. Nyu is innocent and incapable of violent acts, a foil to the normally cold and sadistic Lucy; she is the manifestation of her "good side". When Nyu is attacked violently (or hit on the head), she regresses into Lucy; likewise, when Lucy is treated with love and kindness, she will uncontrollably switch back into Nyu.

That's a really Good Anime...to bad it's too short...

Elfen Lied is one of my favorite animes. It has a very deep story and lots and lots of violence (both physical and psycological). Because if all the violence and some of the charecter situations it is one of those shows you either love or hate. If you like action and violence this show is for you. :)

Elfen Lied definately has one of the deepest storylines in my book, but as the first replier stated, it was just way too short with such stable characters in terms of their situation. Living in one house with basically a nice family, fillers would've been perfect for it. The only thing is that it didn't give you any bull****. The anime just gave you the extraordinary main story and that's it. That's the positive side of a short anime.

So, yeah, I like it.

you can describe elfen lied in three letters:
wtf...
it's just weird, it has dozens of themes and the mood changes rapidly, one moment you look at nyuu being cute (or naked) and the next you look at lucy yearing someone appart.

[Guyrif]

In my opinion that's one of the reasons that made this Anime to one of my feavorite's

[Yokurama]

i watched this a few weeks ago and i thought it was very deep anime.. it really touched me when it ended

the cute or the naked part? lol
it's a really good anime and lucy has a really sad past, it almost made me cry when they attacked that dog, why didn't they stop.

I guess those guys would have been one of the worst case scenarios...

apart from Lucy/Nyuu (or Kaede, which appears to be her real name in the manga (seemed to show only once), she is Japanese after all)

discrimination is a scary thing, it can turn people to psychological instability. and if they could access weapons, they would be able to do something horrible in vengeance.

[DemonGod]

let's all be happy that Elfen Lied is just an anime, else people wouldn't need acces to weapons.
and let's all stop discrimination!
