| abstract | - Differences between the Elfen Lied anime and the manga are many, and noteworthy. Like many another manga series, when adapted to become an anime series, Elfen Lied underwent several changes in plot, setting, situations and characters. Each of the thirteen regular episodes, plus the OVA compress the events of the several manga chapters, and are not always in the exact order depicted in the manga, usually owing to the multi-chapter flashbacks. The purpose of this article will be to do an episode-by-episode documentation of the various differences between the two versions, showing especially what elements from the manga are compressed, changed or eliminated from the anime. The wisdom or popularity of the changes can be an issue for debate and discussion on the comments area below the article, but here only the changes themselves should be listed. One non-episodic example: in the anime, all Diclonii have pinkish hair. In the color illustrations from the manga, only Lucy has pink hair, while Nana has purple hair and Mariko has blonde hair. There is no uniform color for their hair in the manga. In addition, all Diclonii in the anime have eyes that are some shade of red/dark pink, but in the manga, Lucy, Nana, and Mariko (the only Diclonii to appear on the covers and color inserts) have green eyes.
