This is a thread to discuss and chat about Elfen Lied.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, here is some spoiler(ish) free information in the series.
I good description for this series I got from this website
http://elfen-lied.culture-anime.net/en/ (this site has good information on the series without giving away the most important parts) EDIT: That site seems to be currently down - so here is an okay alternative, just it doesn't go into as much detail.

Quote:
Anidb lists these genres for Elfen Lied : Drama, Ecchi, Horror, SciFi, Super Power. And one could add Comedy and Romance.
Elfen Lied is incredibly violent, horrific, and dramatic at many points in the series. It covers mass killings, child abuse and loss of family members. These elements are combined with a comedic Ecchi side of the show similar to Love Hina and Chobits. It combines parts from many distinct genres that set it apart from other shows. The net result is a very interesting show with a gripping story.
So don't be scared off because of the horror/ecchi warnings. Elfen Lied is perfectly watchable and enjoyable by many people. It is just different and extreme compared to things we are used to seeing in the average anime series. This pungent nature is the reason why the show is so good. Elfen Lied is nowhere near as objectionable as hentai shows.
The beginning...
A young girl named Lucy with two little horns on her head and gifted with strange powerful abilities escapes in a bloodbath from the high security laboratory where she was kept in custody.
Romantic and dramatic side of Elfen Lied...
While escaping, Lucy is hit with a bullet to her head. Soon after that, with see her waking up on a beach and her personnality has completely changed.
There is more than the violent aspects to Elfen Lied, it also has a sad side, as well as comedy moments too.
There are 14 episodes in all, the 14th one being an OVA that takes place about episode 10 in the main series.
