Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート Erufen Rīto) is a Japanese manga/anime about the utter evilness of anime chicks with cat-ear-like protrusions on their heads. Especially if they're suffering from dissociative personality disorder and one of their personalities says "Nyu" all the time. Elfen Lied details the tragic story of Nyu/Lucy/Kaede who kills people on a daily basis, despite her desire to live a 'normal' human life. It is a tale of murder, decapitation, dismemberment, disembowelment, mutilation, torture, sadism, rape, incest, accidental pervertedness and some love too, occasionally.

After traumatizing Kohta, Nyu/Lucy/Kaede finally gets to kiss him. Too bad she disappears a few moments later.

==Plot==
Nyu/Lucy/Kaede escapes from an experimental facility, ripping apart a couple people in the process. She sustains a head injury, which conveniently causes her to develop a secondary, childlike personality. She's found by Kohta, a boy whose father and sister she killed in a distant past, and Yuka, Kohta's cousin. Later on, she meets a couple people who want to capture her, which she concisely pwns. At the end of the anime, she meets a Diclonius girl which is able to overpower her. She gets pretty beaten up, but survives, kisses Kohta, kills a couple soldiers and disappears. The manga goes on for much longer and actually lets the main villain do something other than sit around and threaten people.
