Last I checked, this anime was available on DVD at Amazon and Anime Nation.
At a secret research laboratory/prison, a Diclonius named Lucy escapes. The Diclonius are a mutated version of humanity with powerful psionic capabilities. Lucy was particularly abused during her imprisonment, and in her escape she bloodily kills those who attempt to stop her. However, as she made good her escape, Lucy is shot in the head.
Now without her memories, and without the ability to talk, other than saying "nyu", Lucy is taken in by two lonely teens. Lucy, or Nyu as the teens call her, adopts a new personality, one without her bitter memories. But how long will it be before her old personality resurfaces?

The "nature vs. nurture" debate applies in Elfen Lied.

Actually... The title is German for "Elf Song" and takes its name from the poem "Elfenlied".

It's actually German if I remember correctly It means Elven Song I think. I could be mistaken.

I agree. Elfen Lied is more of a Sci-Fi/Drama/Horror series.

Though there are some funny moments...this anime is far from being a comedy.
