this anime be awesome . great story and perfect animation and a little bit of romance and some ecchi stuff and a bit of gore ( a large bit of gore ) and but this gore perfectly fit into the story and into the atmosphere of elfen lie . the story seem to be a little bit simple for the first look and but when you get further and far into it and you will find out and that you be really catch and and this great piece of art would not release you and until you watch it all . otherwise and it really masterful drawn and animate and and the switching between edgy cuteness and and terrible brutality plus merciless murdering be great . the main character and lucy or nyuu be really great and they have describe her emotion and decision and psychic very well . it just too awesome to resist .
