Description: The diclonius, otherwise known as a two-horned human, are mutants of the human species, may well be the next step in human evolution. The diclonius have horns and strong telekinetic powers represented by "arms". However with this great power, they can easily destroy the human race. Fearful of their power, humans quarantined the diclonius into secret research facilities to study. However, in a freak accident, a enraged female diclonius escaped, killing many guards in the process. Interesting enough, the female escapee appears to have suffered amnesia after her escape and floated to Yuigahama of Kamakura city. There, she meets two people named Kouta and Yuka, who name the female diclonius "Nyuu", and decide that they all should live together.
Easily one of the goriest anime of all time. Seen it couple of days ago. I've seen this like 4 or 5 years ago about 3 or 4 times in a row. Freaking amazing anime, no matter how you slice it. School Days was something, but this just excels at it for insanity, gore and some serious disturbing scenes (a lot of them).

hmmm, Lucy, shes a hottie, the first ep is amazing, no wonder it was aired at 1am ;]

I can't really say this is gore, but this definitely is one of the best show I've seen so far that actually made me marathon it on the first view.
Natheria:
How can you say it's not gore? People's heads randomly explode, limbs are torn off, bodies are ripped in two! :o
Now if you said that his wasn't really ecchi i would tend to agree. The partial nudity was more for effect than fanservice.
Definitely one of my faves. They made this anime a lot more tasteful and elegant than i was expecting.
TwEeD:
Yeah great anime but be sure to check out the manga too! The manga was still in progress when the anime was made so it diverges at some point and has more story and a different (tearjerker) ending. Love the soundtrack too
