Lucy is a special breed of human referred to as "Diclonius," born with a short pair of horns and invisible telekinetic hands that lands her as a victim of inhumane scientific experimentation by the government. However, once circumstances present her an opportunity to escape, Lucy, corrupted by the confinement and torture, unleashes a torrent of bloodshed as she escapes her captors.

During her breakout, she receives a crippling head injury that leaves her with a split personality: someone with the mentality of a harmless child possessing limited speech capacity. In this state of instability, she stumbles upon two college students, Kouta and his cousin Yuka, who unknowingly take an injured fugitive into their care, unaware of her murderous tendencies. This act of kindness will change their lives, as they soon find themselves dragged into the shadowy world of government secrecy and conspiracy.

All 13 episodes of the ultra-violent Japanese anime series. Lucy is part of a military genetic experiment, able to dismember victims with invisible arms known as "vectors". Lucy loses her memory in the process of her escape from the military compound and takes refuge with two sisters.
Renamed Nyu, she still retains traces of her killer nature, shockingly revealed when the government send a team of commandos and another mutant assassin to bring her back...

Ich bin ein riesen Fan von Elfenlied.
Nie hat mich irgend eine Geschichte so mitgerissen und fasziniert.
In dieser Serie ist alles vorhanden was das Herz begehrt.
Aber vorsicht: Menschen die sehr emotional sind sollten sich diese Serie nicht anschauen, wenn sie danach noch fröhlich gelaunt sein wollen.

PS: Unbedingt auch den Manga lesen, der ist doppelt so lang, viel informativer und ausführlicher.
Der erste Doppelband ist kürzlich auf Deutsch erschienen.
genial

Elfen Lied ist einer der besten Anime aller Zeiten. Eine gefühlsmässige Achterbahn, welche einerseits brutal ist, andererseits mit einer äusserst betörenden Schönheit aufwartet. Die Geschichte um Liebe, Trauer, Freundschaft und Rache kann zu Tränen rühren. Unbedingt anschauen!
