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...

Adam B. Hausser

Phenomenal anime, with a great story, perfect delivery, and music that is nearly a character itself.

Ronnie

I loved it when I forst watched years ago. Loved the gore and the hearbreaking music. The manga continues the story if you are interested.

Spooky Ghost

This is just nostalgic for me. A mediocre story but a lot of gore and nudity. I just love when media is unapologetic.

Andrew

Super creepy, really intense and a psychotic theme - loved it

Lyndon

There's blood, mutilation and a born-sexy-yesterday lethal weapon with cat ears. That's about it.

Angela Gi

Gory but for some can be kind of boring. Awesome aesthetics and a really deep story. The op and ed are definitely ART.

Oytun Yönyüksel

I liked it a lot, more than 10 years ago. I remember that it was very good, but I might not like it if I've watched it today.

Francisco Duarte Lopes

Need to watch it again. Very depressing stuff.

Gavin Munns

An absolute abomination, using ridiculous amounts of gore to mask its even more ridiculous writing. Stay away from this one.

Nicolle Alcaraz

I was hoping for a plot twist or something but was pretty predictable the whole time. Is not awful, just average.
