Elfen Lied is a manga and anime series by author OKAMOTO Rin (岡本倫). The manga is published in Japanese by Shueisha. The story contains some nudity, voilence, and blood.
Story
The story involves human mutants called "dicloniuses" who grow horns on their heads. The mutants exclusively kill humans with invisible "arms" that can stretch and easily slice through bodies, and their tendency for violence varies amongst characters. Scientists contain them in cells where they are subject to inhumane experiments to test their abilities or they await to be executed for being too dangerous. An infectious virus is also associated with the mutation. The main non-mutant character in the story Kouta ends up becoming more involved with these Dicloniuses, as they seek refuge from the scientists.
Artwork in the anime series
The opening sequence shows shots of characters in the anime. The settings these characters are in are based off of Gustav Klimt's works. The Title is probably from is a German song Elfenlied by Eduard Mörike
The Opening is the song "Beatus Vir" in Latin... OS IUSTI MEDITABITUR SAPIENTIAM/ The Just shall meditate wisdom
ET LINGUA EIUS LOQUETUR IUDICIUM/ And his tongue shall speak judgement
BEATUS VIR QUI SUFFERT TENTATIONEM/ Blessed is he who resists temptation
QUONIAM CUM PROBATUS FUERIT ACCIPIET CORONAM VITAE/ For at trial he shall receive the crown of life
KYRIE, IGNIS DIVINE, ELEISON/ Lord, Divine Fire, have mercy
O QUAM SANCTA/ O how holy
QUAM SERENA/ How calm
QUAM BENIGNA/ How benevolent
AMOENA/ How comforting
O CASTITATIS LILIUM/ O Lily of purity
