COMPLETE COLLECTION ARRIVES IN STORES! |

the most notorious series of last year; much has been made within the fan community of the casual nudity and limb-slicing violence that are its hallmarks. This year, a whole new audience is currently following the show on Anime Network every Sunday on Sky 195. Lucy, a beautiful young mutant, is bred by the government to be the ultimate weapon. Armed with unfathomable powers, she escapes her handlers, but loses her memory in the process. Fortunately, our young waif is taken in by two well-meaning students. Now, with government killers on her trail, the disposition of a five year old, and a hair trigger for ultra-violence, Lucy and her young friends must unravel the dark secret of her legacy before it's too late! The Story: A secret research facility has been doing
“experiments” on mutants called diclonius. These mutants have
extremely powerful, invisible arms that can literally rip people in
half. As a result of these torturous experiments, they are
extremely violent and will kill without warning. One of the more
powerful ones, Lucy, has escaped the facility. If she gets out
into the general population, it will be a killing spree like no one has
ever seen before. The scarier thought is that if she reproduces,
it could mean the end of humanity as we know it today. They need
to do whatever they can the capture, or if need be, exterminate her.
But there's a twist...during her escape, Lucy sustained a head injury
causing an alter personality to surface. This turns her into a
child-like, innocent, clumsy girl who can't say anything except “Nyu”.
Between the two personalities and new-found friends, Lucy must discover
the human side of her self and allow herself to be loved. With the
military and a rogue assassin consistently on her tail, she must choose
to kill or to be killed. |
