- Το Elfen Lied (ιαπωνικά: エルフェンリート, Χέπμπορν: Erufen Rīto) είναι ιαπωνική σειρά anime που βασίζεται στο ομώνυμο manga. Η διασκευή του manga σε σειρά έγινε περίπου δύο χρόνια μετά την πρώτη έκδοσή του. Η σειρά αποτελείται από 13 επεισόδια μαζί με ένα επιπλέον επεισόδιο OVA, το οποίο δημοσιεύτηκε το 2005 για να καλύψει τα κενά που δημιουργούνταν μεταξύ του 10ου και 11ου επεισοδίου. Η σειρά προβλήθηκε για πρώτη φορά στο κανάλι TV Tokyo από τις 25 Ιουλίου μέχρι τις 17 Οκτωβρίου του 2004. Το 2005 η σειρά επαναπροβλήθηκε. Το anime σκηνοθετήθηκε από τον και κατασκευάστηκε από το στούντιο Arms, ενώ είναι παραγωγή των εταιριών Genco και VAP. Επίσης η σειρά προβλήθηκε ολόκληρη στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, αλλά κάνοντας χρήση μωσαϊκού στις ακατάλληλες σκηνές. Στις 19 Δεκεμβρίου, η σειρά κυκλοφόρησε στην Ιαπωνία σε μορφή Blu-ray. Ο τίτλος της σειράς είναι γερμανικός, και σημαίνει "Τραγούδι των Ξωτικών". Προέρχεται από το τραγούδι "Elfenlied" του Αυστριακού συνθέτη Ούγκο Βολφ, το οποίο στηρίζεται στο ομώνυμο ποίημα του Γερμανού ποιητή Έντουαρντ Μέρικε. Το τραγούδι αυτό ενέπνευσε τον Οκαμότο, ο οποίος μάλιστα το χρησιμοποιεί στη σειρά manga. (el)

- The past which Kohta had tried to forget eight years ago comes back to him as he remembers Lucy took revenge on Kohta's lie about the gender of his cousin by killing Kohta's father and his sister Kanae. As Shirakawa dispatches Mariko to kill Lucy, Bando is paid by Kurama to kill her as well. Mariko is about to kill Nana , until Nana uses her vectors to deactivate Mariko's and falls off the bridge, as Mariko's vectors fail and she is taken away. Shirakawa discovers Lucy's Nyu personality and identifies her as the target diclonius, only to be killed by Lucy along with the security forces enlisted to guard against Mariko. Bando arrives to kill Mariko, only to see Lucy and go after her instead. (en)
- Nana's blow knocks Nyu unconscious and she runs away after everyone blames her for hurting Nyu. As a result of living her life inside the facility, Nana is naive and sensitive about the events surrounding her. Nana tells Mayu that Nyu is really Lucy and what she is like, also explaining what diclonius are and their powers. Professor Kakuzawa's assistant is brought before the Chairman and forced to corporate with the facility in place of her boss. The Chairman tells Kurama he doesn't want a vaccine for the virus, but the virus. With Lucy, he wants to build a new mankind since homo sapiens are fading. Number 35 is arranged to kill Number 7 and retrieve Lucy by the Chairman over Kurama's frustration.
As Lucy is recovering from being hit by Nana, she goes through a flashback of her childhood, where she was raised in an orphanage all her life where her peers constantly bullied her. Even the staff called her creepy and did nothing to stop the bullying. Feeling lonely and ignored, she begins to develop her hatred for humans. When her peers discover that she has made friends with a stray dog, they force her to watch as they beat it to death with a vase. In her despair, rage and bloodlust, Lucy activates her vectors and kills her schoolmates and blows up the entire blood soaked orphanage, her first murders. (en)
- Kurama's past is explained in this episode. He was a good friend of Professor Kazukawa, who invited Kurama to work with him and his father on the diclonius project after leaving university. He reluctantly agrees, however, as he is performing research, he is infected with the diclonius virus via transmission through their vectors, and as a result, his daughter Mariko is born a diclonius. He decides to kill her, however as his wife dies from complications after giving birth, begging him to spare her, so Kurama chooses to let her live. Lucy is revealed to be the original diclonius, the queen, who infected other humans with her vectors and began the outbreak, which is why all the new cases are happening in the same area. Meanwhile, as both Lucy and Nana are now part of Kohta's household, the facility decides to send "the most powerful" diclonius, known only as "No. 35". (en)
- Yuka has been in love with Kohta since childhood. She has caught him in several awkward situations with Nyu and is increasingly jealous of his interest in Nyu. Mayu, a 13-year-old girl and her dog Wanta, who witnessed the incidents in episode 2, return an umbrella, which Kohta left on the beach. She is interrogated about the events. Nana is another diclonius, codenamed "No. 7". She calls Kurama "papa". She is released, to track down Lucy and bring her back to the facility. (en)
- Nana, uses the telepathic powers of diclonii to find Lucy. She fights her in a local cemetery. Mayu encounters them during the battle. Before long, Nana has all her limbs ripped off and is nearly dead, but she has damaged Lucy's ability to control vectors, temporarily sealing them. Kurama, much to his frustration, is ordered by his boss, Kakuzawa, to put Nana down as she is no longer useful. Yuka discovers that Mayu is homeless, and invites her to stay at the house. (en)
- Lucy's past links with Kohta are uncovered - after her dog was killed, she began to show contempt for humans, until Kohta briefly befriended her. Kohta plays the series' opening theme "Lilium" in a music box which he bought in Kamakura. They go to the zoo and later play in the water, where she thanks Kohta for the most fun she'd ever had in her life. Her hope in being re-acquainted with humans is briefly regained and she starts to like Kohta. However, when she discovers Kohta's cousin , who he claimed to be a boy, is actually a girl, she loses hope, thinking he already had someone he liked and wondering why he lied to her. She begins her future murderous path. (en)
- Bando attacks Nana with heavy tungsten bullets. Unlike normal, lighter bullets, these can't be deflected with vectors, and she is wounded. Nana says that she wants to be good, as her father advised her, and not fight. He responds that she will be unwelcome everywhere because of her horns, as humans born with horns, the result of a virus, are killed at birth. Nana and others were spared for research. She remembers that Kurama was ordered to kill her and wonders why she was born. Using her longer vectors, she pins Bando down, but is dealt a glancing blow by a bullet. The gun's recoil breaks Bando's prosthetic arm. Because she is bleeding, Nana cries for Papa. Bando and Nana realize that Lucy has injured them both, and they team up.
Kakuzawa reprimands Kurama, Shirakawa , and Shirakawa's assistant, for letting Nana escape and for failing to find Lucy. Meanwhile, Nana, ignorant of the world outside the facility, doesn't know what to do with the money she was given, and burns some of it. She enounters Mayu at the cemetery at which she almost died, and they become friends. Nana is brought back to Kohta's home. Discovering Lucy in the home, Nana attacks her. (en)
- After spending the night at the house, Mayu leaves. Mayu's past is revealed. Mayu's mother remarried, and her stepfather repeatedly molested her. Mayu's mother was jealous that her husband paid more attention to Mayu than to her mother. When Mayu's mother refused to help, Mayu ran away from home, and encountered a stray dog, whom she named "Wanta". In present day, Kohta and Yuka convince Mayu to come live with them. Mayu's mother happily gives Kohta guardianship of Mayu.
Kohta and Yuka return to their university classes, accompanied by Nyu. Professor Kakuzawa, the son of Kurama's boss discovers Nyu. Claiming that Lucy is his brother's daughter, he takes custody of her away from Kohta and Yuka. Kakuzawa is revealed to be partly diclonius. He intends to breed with Lucy to end the reign of homo sapiens. However, she decapitates him, claiming that he is worthless in the evolution towards a diclonius-populated world. Her vectors have returned. (en)
- The offshore facility, headed by the scientist Kurama, sends a task force, led by the ruthless, cold-hearted, assassin Bando, to hunt down Lucy. They encounter her in her innocent "Nyu" state at a beach in Kamakura. She is hit over the head by Bando. Bando then tells his partner to finish off Nyu, but the hit reverts Nyu back to Lucy, who kills Bando's partner, and goes after Bando. Lucy shoots Bando and also dismembers and blinds him but, before killing him, she reverts to Nyu. So, we learn that the personalities of Lucy and Nyu switch between each other depending on events. After being injured by Bando, Kohta is placed in a hospital but is not severely injured, and is released hours later, while Yuka looks for Lucy. He encounters Lucy back at their house and forgives her. Since Lucy is the only non-sterile diclonius, the staff at the facility will help Bando only if he agrees to be castrated, as Lucy wishes to create a world populated only by diclonius and can "infect" someone who has been touched by her vectors. Any children Bando would have would be diclonius. (en)
- Mariko is revealed to be the identity of No. 35. A monstrous diclonius, she instinctively kills any human she sees. She has 26 vectors and a range of 11 meters. Lucy has 4 vectors and a range of 2 meters. Under supervision from staff at the facility, she is released as a last effort to retrieve Lucy. Once free, she begins to slaughter the staff, but stops when a bomb in her arm is detonated. Since other bombs remain in parts of her body , she is forced to agree to work with the staff. Nana senses Mariko's presence and her desire to kill her through their ability to locate each other. Mariko and Nana meet on a bridge on the shore and battle. Kurama, who supposedly "had to leave", has joined Bando to kill Lucy without the knowledge of Shirakawa and the staff. (en)
- Bando escapes from the hospital before being castrated. He seeks to take his revenge on Lucy. Professor Kakuzawa Yū's decapitated body is found by his assistant and by Kohta. On her way to school, Mayu sees Bando, and is relieved that he is alright. Because she placed a tourniquet on his arm when he was injured, he gives her his phone number so that she can call on him if she's in a pinch. This relieves the debt which he feels towards her. When he asks if she has seen a woman with horns, Mayu asks if he means Nyu. He brutally interrogates her, and she returns the phone number, saying she's in a pinch. He drops her, walks away, and says he never wants to see her again. Mayu doesn't understand why Nyu is targeted. While searching for Lucy, Kohta and Yuka develop a fondness for each other, and they kiss. Finally, Kohta and Yuka find Lucy, and take her home. Lucy recalls memories of knowing Kohta and Yuka when they were all children.
Kurama, despite his orders to kill Nana, gives her new artificial limbs and money, and releases her. However, Nana comes across Bando, who sees her horns and assumes that she is Lucy. (en)
- Mariko regains the ability to use her vectors and stages one final meeting with Lucy. They meet, and Lucy goes into a state of shock after losing one of her horns. Kurama, accompanied by Nana whom he rescued after she fell off the bridge where she battled Mariko, encounters their fight. Here, Mariko realizes that Kurama is her father and meets him for the first time, beginning to cry after finally encountering her father, who appears to have abandoned her for Nana. Kurama exchanges final words of reassurance to Mariko just before the bomb inside her chest is detonated, killing them both. The Director of the facility that had been holding Lucy, Nana and Mariko reveals he is a diclonius. Lucy, who makes it out of the fight alive, reveals her remorse and emotion for Kouta and they kiss before she leaves to encounter the security team. However, Lucy's ultimate fate is unknown except that her other horn is broken, although it is possible that she is still alive or possibly dead as the shots of the guns continue, even after her horn is broken. The "family" of Kaede house, including Nana, settles down. As they are about to eat, Wanta barks at someone at the door. When Kohta goes to check, the music box playing "Lilium" stops and he sees a figure standing at the front door who might be Lucy. He then hears the grandfather clock, which Lucy had repeatedly attempted to repair, ticking again. (en)
