Summary:
The story involves human mutations called "dicloniuses", who grow horns on their heads andpossess telekinetic powers, in the form of invisible "arms" called vectors.
The tendency for violence among dicloniuses varies among characters. Certain scientists contain them in a Facility in cells where they are subject to inhumane experiments to test their abilities or were they await execution for being too dangerous.
An infectious virus is also associated with the mutation. This virus is spred through non-lethal contact with the vectors of a diclonius.
The main non-mutant character in the story is Kouta, who ends up becoming icreasingly involved with these dicloniuses, as they seek refuge from the scientists.
The main diclonius character is Lucy/Nyuu a killer whose alter ego is a hapless, and very cute child whose vocabullary and intelligence is quite limited.
After a large amount of choice occurences the lives of these two characters becomes inexplicably entwined...

My review:
Well, I started watching this one 3 times because of all blood and violence. But somehow I managed to finish watching it. It this cause violence is justified. It actually gives something to the story and sets a certain mood. A plot is intriguing. Too bad that right when you understand everything the show is over. I'm hoping there will be next season. I liked this anime but I still have mixed feeling about it. I can see why there were so many good reviews about it.

Recommend:
Not for lighthearted that's for sure!
