This anime is extremely violent and bloody and contains expilict nudity. If you can handle this then Elfen Lied is the anime for you. It has an awesome story with great characters. My only problem with it is some of the voices are kinda annoying like Yuka's but you get over it. My other problem with it is that the anime only does half the manga so you have to read it to find out what else happens. All in all though an excellent anime to add to your collection.

At first i thought i was just watching a blood bath, but after watching through each episode the story developed quite well, i was disappointed that the OVA was not dubbed but the 13 episodes are great (maybe a little too short)

If you want to try something new have a go at elfen lied :)

I watched this show years ago, and simply had to nab it when it appeared on mightyape's daily deals! While the show may contain too much senseless nudity (and probably a bit too much blood), if you can overlook it and follow the story, it's quite a thought provoking piece, showing both the good and bad that the human race is capable of. If you can overlook the aforementioned senselessness (that a lot of other buyers have also commented on) you can certainly enjoy watching the show. For the sqeamish or prudent however, I would suggest finding another anime to occupy your time.
