Elfen Lied

" Every form of life has it's end. An apocalypse. When the time comes, a certain race is sure to meet it's dire extinction. A new genus, born from the old one, will rise above the rest and meet it's inctinct's expectations. Is the urge to kill truly a scream for a new world? Or merely a mirror of cruel, despondent neglect? Such beings were being held in a special experimental facility off the coast of Kamakura in Kanagawa, south of the city of Yokohama, by the chief executive of the experimental facility. A teenage Diclonious is notoriously named by the staff as 'Lucy,'.

With the use of her vectors, she escapes the facility; deflecting gunfire and effortlessly killing security guards. As she makes her way out of the facility, a sniper aims and attempts to shoot her down, instead breaking her metal blinder... causing her to fall into the sea by the cliffside."

The title 'Elfen Lied' is taken from a song in German, which literally means, 'Elves Song'. I suppose it refers to the Diclonius. Hehe... just thought you should know. :3 Elfen Lied has to be one of my most faved anime series. As I've said, I have a 'thing' for mysterious murder stories. Throw in a childhood love story, and you've got a VERY worthy anime. (^__^); The song's a remix meant for the Resident Evil OST by Flyleaf. This AMV is awesome on my book! It syncs and everything... even the song makes a good match once you get to know the series~.



WARNING: Contains nudity, aswell as explicitly animated scenes of blood and gore.


Blogger's Note: The manga ish 45% better. Because it's much more detailed. Although I hate the fact that Lucy died in the manga --- via a liquid sespool of her own bodily innards. I cried at the end. \(^0^)/
