Both got blood, bodies torn apart, good art, good animation, but average storyline, and totally STUPID characters!
Akira and Elfen Lied are extremely violent series that have an out of this world feeling about them. They are based on government experimentation of people that are meant to be used as weapons and both have main characters that go berserk after being subject to such experimentation. They turn against their friends and foes in a mess of power and blood, deciding to fight the whole world in a futile path towards power and justice. If you enjoyed watching one of them then you should definitely check out the other.
Similar beings with "invisible" powers and their blind destruction to achieve their goal with the military trying to use and control these beings (but ultimately failing). The main characters are similar in how they go about trying to stop everything even though they are mostly powerless in the given situation.
Exploding bodies, blood, and an antihero who has been oppressed since youth until discovering their telekinetic power, which ends up being abused.

Both Akira and Elfen Lied depict characters who are raised in governmental facilities for scientific research. The people there have "supernatural" powers that are the next step in human evolution. Both main characters are involuntarily dragged into the struggles of these supernatural beings, and the lives of them and their friends change forever.
Both "Akira" and "Elfen Lied" delve into the darker aspects of human existence, challenging societal norms and exploring the consequences of wielding extraordinary powers. While "Akira" showcases a dystopian future on the brink of chaos, "Elfen Lied" delves into the horrors of scientific experimentation and the blurred lines between innocence and monstrosity. These two anime series offer a captivating blend of action, suspense, and psychological depth, providing a thought-provoking and thrilling viewing experience for fans of dark and immersive storytelling.
