A diclonius (a human with horns and psychic abilities) escapes from an army base, after being experimented on, killing a whole heap of guards and ends up on a beach, with her memory lost. When a boy named Kouta starts to live with his cousin Yuka in the beach-side inn, they find the diclonius and name her 'Nyu' and look after her, but that's when the horror begins.
Yes I know, it does have a lot of nudity (most may find it a bit gratuitous) and also, after looking at the first part of the first episode, it looks like you've seen it all before (a person escaping from a place by killing a lot of guards with their super-powers), but it's not one of those cartoons; this cartoon can be really deep at times and you can even feel for the characters. Also the ending of this anime will really make you stare at the screen blankly and think of nothing else but ELFEN LIED.
The animation in this anime is pretty cool, with a nice touch of CGI. The opening sequence of this cartoon is quite nice as well, although I don't think it's as good as other people say.
Overall, ELFEN LIED is a pretty darn good anime, but it's not for everyone.
