Elfen Lied

What made me happy today? Elfen Lied.
Yes, it's another anime. And it's another one that's really worth watching!
Unless you're a bit squeamish, in which case you shouldn't. This anime has a rather high body count, especially in the first episode (I think 23 in 5 minutes). They also didn't skimp on the blood. There's a lot. Plus some severed limbs and a demostration of how to kill a men with a ballpoint pen. By now you're probably thinking it's a horror anime but it isn't. An a small warning here, there is some nudity present.
The series develops a great character development angle, a new strain of human called Diclonius, some fan service (as always) and a lot of epicness. And break out the tissues id you're sensitive, because there will be tears. I know there were for me! Just be aware of the fact that this anime started airing before the manga was completed. As such there are some differences between the two story lines, especially towards the end.
Also, if you're an art fan: be sure to watch the opening credits, as it's drawn in Gustav Klimt's styke, with some El Greco handgestures.
