Elfen Lied

This is a series I just discovered. It's currently out in Japan and I think has recently been licensed by ADV to be released in the States at some point.

It's a 13 episode series. I really don't know what the overall story is about, but the first episode was VERY violent and had a lot of nudity. Of course, for me, those are positive elements. It started out in some type of government facility. There was this naked girl locked in some types of restraining device and she had a big metal helmet thing on her head. She eventually breaks free and slaughters all the guards during her escape. She kills with some sort of telepathic ability of some sort. Invisible forces cut the guards in half, cut off theirs heads, etc. It's pretty crazy.

The story seems somewhat interesting so far, so I'll definitely be checking it out. I just hope they don't censor it when it comes out over here.

Sounds like a good one to me! I enjoy blood and gore, as long as it's animated.

Death and distruction plus a little bit of plastic anime boobie footage? I'm there dude.

You know, for a while, I thought by the title "Elvin Lied" you were posting a thread chastising Elfin Ruler. LOL

Oi.

Well, I'm not one to oggle over titties in anime...

I'm just happy that there's an anime nowadays which follows the old-school anime formula in which good story + violence + nudity = good stuff.

Like Ghost In The Shell!
