About this product

Product Information

Like the cherry blossoms and bloody decapitations that saturate its frames, director Mamoru Kanbe's grisly anime series ELFEN LIED contrasts the opposing forces of innocence and evil with equal parts beauty and violence. Sexy, pink-haired Lucy is part of a race of genetic mutants known as Diclonius, who sport horns in their heads and are able to savagely dismember their victims with the use of psychically controlled invisible arms called vectors. After Lucy makes a violent escape from the military compound that imprisons her, she washes up naked and vulnerable on a beach shorefront and is taken in by teenage cousins Kohta and Yuka. But unbeknownst to her kindly benefactors, the now mute and amnesiac Lucy--redubbed Nyu for her inability to speak--still retains traces of her true killer nature, which amply reveals itself when the government sends out a team of renegade soldiers and another female mutant assassin to find and destroy her. Bloody and violent yet beautifully animated, the anime series is presented in its entirety with this collection of 13 episodes.

Plot, characters, and world
Elfen Lied is an anime that was based off a manga series of the same name. The show follows the story somewhat loosely and the plot is a little bit difficult to follow and become invested. However it is in the characters and their development and relationship between each other that really shines in this anime. Accompanied by a beautiful main theme song the story is mostly about the characters and how they have to deal with all that is going on in their lives. There are some very dark themes however circulating in this show. Everything from intense Gore to nudity, to child abuse, to even hints of incest. However this all bolsters the show as it makes the characters feel more real and human and causes the show to focus on them. This is not a show for the faint of heart. Be ready to see and deal with topis that you might feel uncomfortable with. Also begin to hurt with the characters and feel the weight of what they are going through. This is indeed one of the few animes out there that while it's story is somewhat lackluster the show makes up for it stupendously in its characters and it's beautiful song. With only 13 episodes this is truly a show worth seeing.
