Product Description

From Amazon.com

The broadcast series Elfen Lied (2004) represents another example of the murderous-waif genre that includes Gunslinger Girl, Burst Angel, and Saikano. Lucy is a diclonius, a mutant capable of killing humans without touching them--a talent she demonstrates repeatedly when she escapes from a secret research facility. She washes up on a beach where two good-natured, simple-minded college freshmen find her. As Lucy can only say "Nyu," Kohta and Yuka call her that and adopt her, unaware of her deadly powers. Elfen Lied is a weird mixture of gratuitous gore, treacly sentimentality, and fan-service nudity. Nyu/Lucy shifts from cringing innocent to articulate murderer and back for no apparent reason; Yuka nurtures a secret passion for Kohta, although he's her cousin. Inane, incoherent, and distasteful, Elfen Lied offers all the clichés that give anime a bad name. (Rated TV MA VSL, appropriate for ages 17 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, nudity, profanity, sexual situations, toilet humor, tobacco use)--Charles Solomon

Description

One girl washes up on shore – naked, scared, and alone. The other uses psychic weapons to make a blood-soaked break from captivity. One is named Nyu. The other is Lucy. The two couldn’t be more different – if only they didn’t have to share the same body! When star-crossed students Kohta and Yuka rescue Nyu on the beach, they’re blissfully unaware that she’s a diclonius, a mutant bred to replace humanity. To make matters worse: she’s escaped from captivity, leaving a trail of dead in her path and the world’s most lethal hunters on her tail. As the rooms in Kohta’s rented house fill with runaways and diclonius – danger mounts outside. But, what’s more dangerous? The monsters beating down the door or the demons within?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Preview, Oct 16 2005

By	B.T. (Hell) - See all my reviews

I havn't seen Elfen Lied yet but when its released in a boxed set then ill buy it. I have researched this anime from many different websites and the girl called "Nana" looks a lot like "Ayane" from "Dead or Alive Ultimate" for the xbox and the other DOA games as well of course(only Nana represents a young version of Ayane). From what i've read and seen so far from this anime i'm impressed how it's gory and that there is vast nudity (I hope)and hopefully some lesbianism. The appearance of the anime is beautiful with an art form that represents how japanese anime has evolved. But the real future lies for anime when ADV films releases "Front Innocent" Goodnight to all you peeps that read this preview.
