Another review I promised LightFykki. ^^ Thanks for reading all my reviews and such! :DD Makes me feel loved. Yep, I don't know how this world can have 50 subscribers and absolutely zero comments... Well, I'm doing this more for myself, cause I get to watch anime and such, so I guess it's all good!

Plot Summary - The Diclonius, a mutated homo sapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possesses two horns in their heads, and has a "sixth sense" which gives it telekinetic abilities. Due to this dangerous power, they have been captured and isolated in laboratories by the government. Lucy, a young and psychotic Diclonius, manages to break free of her confines and brutally murder most of the guards in the laboratory, only to get shot in the head as she makes her escape. She survives and manages to drift along to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her. Having lost her memories, she was named after the only thing that she can now say, "Nyuu," and the two allow her to stay at Kouta's home. However, it appears that the evil "Lucy" is not dead just yet...
My Opinion - TONS of gore and nudity here people, so right off the bat I just want to warn you about this. If things like that don't really bother you (the nudity is not really presented in a fanservice kind of way), I recommend this series to you! The story is so tragic, and the series is so dark. It is just completely different from anything I have ever seen. The action and gore will captivate you from the very first episode, and the intertwined past of the characters is truly intriguing. Everything connects in a very surprising way! Tons of excitement and tragedy in here, and definitely not for the weak-hearted! On a random note, the theme song is absolutely beautiful, and will make you cry just upon hearing it... (I would know)
From Top Left to Bottom Right - Mayu, Yuka, Lucy/Nyuu, Nana
