I LOVE that awesome anime!
It's so dark, beautiful, brutal and gory, my favorite type ^^ (yes I'm a messed up girl, so what?)
Have you read the manga or seen the anime? Or both? Both for me!
One time a boy in my class called anime, including Elfen Lied "cartoons for little kids" Next day I brought in the most gory pictures from that anime that I could find. He says that no more.
