Well, that's what I thought when I saw the commercial.

For those of you not in the know, Elfen Lied is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Lynn Okamoto turned anime about a subset of humans known as Diclonius with telekinetic power based on invisible hands coming out of their backs.
The show was pretty clever, particularly the use of these in many ways limited telekinetic hands (called Vectors).
So are there any similarities between Lucy and Elfen Lied? Let's find out.
Here's a picture from the show:

It's NSFW and I don't know if I can put links here so PM me if you want this last one.
If this seems fishy to you, listen to this: not only was Elfen Lied started July 6 2002, but the main character (the pink haired one always showing up) IS NAMED LUCY.
Though not her real name, they took the name Lucy as short for Lucifer.
Maybe it's a coincidence.

Well, those are my thoughts on it. I highly enjoyed watching Elfen Lied (maybe enough to read the manga) and this was really bugging me all throughout the trailer. Thanks for reading.
Watch out with that picture near the bottom. No NSFW is allowed on this site, and I'd call that NSFW.

No NSFW links either. Just err on the side of caution is all I'm worried about.
2854503 Yeah, thanks so much for telling me.
